mmmm news goodness

Between Christmas, Thanksgiving, and super sales everywhere, the end of the year is always my favorite time of the year.

Right now we have Steams autumn sale. so if you're like me with little to no money but still have a longing for good PC gaming, now is a great time to start downloading.

IGN has decided to give us their reviews of Farcry 3, giving it a 9.  To quickly sum things up they loved everything about it, except that fact that it comes with a flimsy co-up mode. If you want to check out the IGN review you can click here.  IGN streamed a bit of game-play yesterday, and the game looked amazing. The world seemed large, the graphics, physics, everything looked outstanding. The game actually reminds me of a modern Skyrim, and I love Skyrim. I haven't played past Farcry games, but I'm going to picking this one up. Farcry 3 will be out in the U.S. on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on December 4th.

On what seems to be a darker note, the new Hitman title has dropped. The reviews are... well they're mixed. The critic Metascore has it up to 77, which as actually dropped for the mid 80's just the other day. The player Metascore is around 7.5.  The only difference is that users seemed to either love it or hate it, while critics tended to just float around that 7 mark.  I was never much of a Hitman fan to begin with, so I guess this one isn't going to change my mind.

Final Fantasy XIV The Road to Ninja

That's right a the road to being a ninja, because we all know nothing beats a ninja. So how do you become a ninja? First: You have to have a level 30 rogue, and a level 15 Pugilist. Second: You need to be done with the rogue story quest with the three treasures.( Found that out last night the hard way) Third: (unconfirmed) Do the story quest Sylph Management. You've probably already got it done, but still a lot of people told me I needed this one done. Forth: Once the first and second things are done go and talk to Jacke at the rogue's guild and he'll set you up with the quest chain for ninja.

Another Day Another Bounty 10.24.13

Image
That's right it's a new day and another bounty has been released for all of us hunters in the Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt. Today's bounty is DJ Tanner , he can be found in Magnys Lighthouse . This hunt is another that is in the Captain Scarlett DLC. He should drop the " Tidal Wave " that can be used for the community bounty. Speaking of the community bounty, today's community bounty is Sand Worm Queens . You may remember fighting one while doing the My life for a sand sandskiff mission  early on in the DLC. A Sand Worm Queen is what leaps out of the sand and swallows Lionel's engine capacitor. I found the best place to find the Sand Worm Queen in Wurmwater just north of the Rustyard exit in a crater. You actually have to hope out of your skiff for them to spawn and they don't always spawn. I have a picture of the location down below.

Wildstar goes F2P

Another MMO is going free to play. That's right recently the makers of WildStar have announced it's going free to play. I don't know if it's just going completely free and just charging people for the extras in-game or if you'll still have to buy the game but they are getting rid of the monthly fee. Really you didn't need to pay a monthly fee, I know I didn't for the short time I played the game. All you had to do was buy (with in-game money) the special tokens that would let you in-turn buy game time. That's right, it's the system that WoW picked up, which kinda makes me wonder if WoW is going to be going free sometime in the future. hmmmmm. Anyway Wildstar is supposed to be going free this fall.  So if you haven't played or like me got tired of playing, this fall might be a good time to hop back into the game.
