![]() “That's a possibility and that's an exciting possibility," says Reed. This could also lead to a lowering of the overall quality of the fanbase. One more concern some have raised about going free-to-play is that an influx of new players will be at a distinct disadvantage compared to more experienced Starcraft gamers. Co-op definitely now skyrocketed and is competing. ![]() I'm very much into 1v1 myself but it's actually even become the way I play StarCraft. "Now co-op has made a huge dent on those numbers. But the truth is actually campaign ," says Reed. This is a shrewd move since co-op is quickly becoming StarCraft 2’s most popular mode. No price has been announced for the heroes just yet. It is important to note however that commanders - heroes (with their armies) that you choose to play as in StarCraft 2’s co-op mode - are free upto level five, after which you will have to pay to continue using them, except for Raynor, Kerrigan, and Artanis. The Legacy of the Void StarCraft 2 campaign won't be free according to Reed. So we want to be able to provide a fund with for players to engage for a window of time, support WCS and have a window where they can unlock a bunch of rewards at a discounted price.” The goal with the War Chests is to support WCS. “We have no intention of doing loot crates any time soon," says Reed. The contents of the War Chests will be fixed in advance so players know what they're getting. Accessibility is the bigger goal.”įurthermore, don’t expect War Chests to turn into Overwatch’s loot boxes - where players are unaware of what they get with each purchase. So this will allow players to step in and try it and that's the bigger agenda here. "StarCraft 2 is a very difficult game and sometimes it can keep people from investing or wanting to try it. We want more players to come and enjoy the game," he says. ![]() “The big goal here isn't a monetisation push, it's more of an engagement push. Moving StarCraft 2 to the free-to-play model could see a greater reliance on micro-transactions, though Reed believes that this is far from the case. If you want Legacy of the Void or Nova Covert Ops then you'd have to purchase those.”Īside from purchasing the campaigns, there are War Chests - cosmetic items than can be bought in-game of which 25 percent of the proceeds would be used to push Blizzard’s StarCraft 2 e-sports initiatives. We love for being that far in ," he says. We asked if Blizzard had plans to make Legacy of the Void free. We have enough that we can give to players and the big purpose was to give as much as we can.”Īt BlizzCon 2017, Blizzard said that the first campaign, Wings of Liberty, would be free but users will have to pay for the next two campaigns - Heart of the Swarm, and Legacy of the Void - or just the last one if players already own the first two. "We have co-op missions, we have a new wave for new players to engage, before it was a lot of versus and it was difficult for a lot of players, but co-op brings in a nice unique way for players to come in and digest the content which is really cool. Now that we have our giant trilogy completed you get to play as one of the each races ," Reed explained. ![]() “The biggest reason for this decision was to bring in more players. Gadgets 360 spoke to StarCraft 2’s Lead User Interface Designer, Christoper Reed to find out why the free-to-play route was taken for StarCraft 2, and what we could expect next. The real-time strategy game has seen a steady flow of updates after Blizzard wrapped up its final campaign - Legacy of the Void. One of the biggest announcements of BlizzCon 2017 was that StarCraft 2 is going free-to-play. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() In the next menu be very specific about the Pokémon you're after - one that you know is in your copy of X / Y. Tap it, then select Deposit Pokémon.Ĭhoose a junk Pokémon you don't mind losing, make a note of it, and select Deposit. In Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire, head over to the Player Search System, then click the arrow on the right of the bottom screen to find the GTS option on the second page. This works much like game-to-game trading, only you'll be sending your junk Pokémon out into a public online trading area. The riskiest option, but the only way to trade to yourself if you don't want to pay for Pokémon Bank, don't have a second 3DS, or a friend who can help out. I recommend you only use cross-game trading when you need a specific item to be transferred across. Then follow the same instructions as above.įrom here, you just need to select the Pokémon you want to trade across from X / Y, making sure you choose to trade junk Pokémon you have no use for from Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire. In Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire, select the PlayNav from the bottom screen, then the Player Search System. You can also trade with a friend over the Internet, but you'll need to trust them enough to trade your Pokémon back to Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire. You have the option of choosing to trade via Infrared, Local Wireless, and Internet.Įither of the first two will do if you're trading with yourself. Select the icon at the top centre of the bottom screen, then Trade. Load up X / Y on one system, and Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire on the other.įrom X / Y, tap the R shoulder button until you see the Player Search System. Unfortunately, if you have digital versions of both games on the same system you're plum out of luck - you need a Pokémon game on each system to trade from or to. To trade between X / Y and Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire you'll need two 3DS units, a junk Pokémon you won't miss for each one you wish to transfer, and a whole lot of time. TradingĪh yes, the age-old way of transferring your Pokémon and their held items across to new games from the same generation. This means Mega Stones, Master Balls, and other rare items will all be left behind in Pokémon X and Y. ![]() Pokémon Bank's only disadvantage is that you can't store items attached to your Pokémon. You probably don't need all your Pokémon from X and Y, especially if you've completed your Pokédex, so I suggest transferring most of them back to Pokémon Bank when you've finished the process to earn Poké Miles and Battle Points. If you do decide to use Pokémon Bank, I suggest you keep the first 30 or so boxes in National Pokedex order so you can easily transfer the whole lot across each time you start a new Pokémon game. Complete the same steps as before, only transferring from the top screen to the bottom screen, and you're done. When you've sent over enough Pokémon from X or Y, you'll need to log out of your Bank session and log in again for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. You can move up to 30 at a time by tapping the Start button twice and selecting a Pokémon in one corner, tapping the A button, moving the cursor to the opposite corner, and tapping the A button once again. Once you're in you can shift all the Pokémon you need from the bottom screen to the top screen to store them in Pokémon Bank. Each of these currencies can be redeemed in any of your Pokémon games for rare or exclusive items.įirst thing to do is make sure your copy of Pokémon X or Y is inserted or installed, get online, and select your game from the Pokémon Bank menu. The more you store, the more Poké Miles and Battle Points you can earn. That's enough for every currently available Pokémon in every form and variant, with over 2,000 left to spare. You can store up to 3,000 critters in Pokémon Bank. Pokémon Bank is by far the quickest and easiest solution if you don't have any friends who play Pokémon and a fiver to spare.Ī year's subscription costs you £4.49, $4.99, or €4.99 depending on what neck of the woods you're in, but it's almost definitely worth it. Of course, in the capitalist world we live in, the best option just so happens to be a premium one. Here's a heads-up on how to transport them all across to the land of Hoenn. Have you already caught 'em all in Pokémon X and Y? Did you build up a team that could take down the Elite Four and Pokémon Champ in one fell swoop?Ĭhances are you need to move your 'mon across to your spangly new copy of Pokémon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire then. ![]() ![]() ![]() Namely being an initially bad story and unlikeable characters. However Zexal suffers from similar issues that GX has. *GASP* "How DARE you put that *beep* series known as Zexal above the greatness from my childhood that is GX?!?" Yes, I like Yugioh Zexal more than Yugioh GX. Arc-V isn't the worst series but it is the most disappointing series to date with the WORST ending. EDIT: April 15th, 2017 - The series ended a little over 2 weeks ago and my word.how does a series with so much potential end so badly.The closure for it's characters was horrendous, the plot just ran wild after the main antagonist was defeated they had EIGHT episodes of remaining after the main crisis has been solved and they spent that time doing random and completely pointless BS instead giving it's characters the proper closure they needed. 8/10 (I could bump it up in the future depending on how the rest of this series goes). So far it' VERY close to claiming the #2 Position and could very well claim #1 by the time it's over. ![]() I never expected it to be as good as it is. So far this is a surprisingly good series. So far Jack & Crow from 5Ds have reappeared and had big roles in the series, Alexis Rhodes & Aster Phoenix from GX are scheduled to appear, and Kaito Tenjo from Zexal is scheduled to appear. Not to mention if you enjoyed past series you'll be delighted to know that this is essentially serving as a 20th anniversary series to the franchise by having older characters make a return. But since I'm not spoiling anything I'll just say: It has amazing writing, a VERY interesting lead character, the best female lead we've had since 5Ds, a cool rival, and the fact that EVERY Extra Deck mechanic (Fusion, Synchro, XYZ, & Pendulum) Play an important part in the story helps as well. Since this is still an ongoing series (100 Episodes on the date I made this list: April 7th, 2016) and we still have another year at the least since Yugioh series generally end around this time of the year I'll guess by April next year Arc-V will be over or it'll be close to wrapping up. 80 I believe at the time and I binged watch all 80 episodes at the time in LESS THAN A WEEK so far it's just that good. I didn't know this series existed until about 6 months ago and it was at ep. So far the latest Yugioh series is shaping up to be an amazing one. As a kid I loved this series but now I still like it for it's 2nd half but this is a decent series AT BEST. The only characters I liked were supporting characters who appear every so often. ![]() Hell in the MAIN PROTAGONIST Judai-Kun is a one dimensional character for 3/4 of the series and when he finally does get developed he becomes an *beep* (he has his moments but overall an *beep* not to mention he hogs 70-80% of the screentime). A majority of it's main cast (Or pretty much the entire main cast) were boring and bland individuals. ![]() Even then it wasn't staggeringly amazing. It ONE-HUNDRED PLUS episodes of a ONE-HUNDERED EIGHTY episode series to get serious and establish a good an interesting plot. HALF of the first season is nothing but one shot episodes that don't even matter to the overall story and even when they establish the plot it still delves away from it and does something completely different. The thing that kills GX for me is that it's just one HUGE inconsistent/kiddish mess. Now fast forward 10 years later and without my nostalgia goggle it doesn't hold up very well. I was TEN when Yugioh GX came to the US, I had a few E-Heroes cards, and I would watch GX every day after school on Cartoon Network and Saturday mornings. Before people say anything like "I wasn't around to experience it, therefore have no right to judge it" or "You're just a kid who doesn't know what he's talking about and missed out on a deal with GX" no, just no. To all of the Genwunners of Yugioh who quit watching the series after GX saying it and the original are the only good series come at me. Yes, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is my least favorite series. ![]() ![]()

On a dark and stormy night in Donkey Kong Island, Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong's nephew has taken the weighty responsibility of guarding DK's precious banana hoard for one night, as a part of his "hero training".

The game was very successful, since it sold over 8 million units and spawned a sub-series in the Donkey Kong franchise making several sequels, the Donkey Kong Land trilogy, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong 64. This allowed them to have more detail in animations, for a 16-bit console, which was revolutionary at the time. The graphics were made with expensive Silicon 3D graphic models and compressed for 2D SNES. The game is known for being the first game to use pre-rendered sprites, creating a 3D effect throughout the game. While Rare had made some popular games in the past, such as Battletoads for NES, Donkey Kong Country is credited with making them well-known in the industry. The game is credited for its successful spin-off debut of Nintendo's very first game antagonist Donkey Kong from a decade before the game's release, as well as starting a new franchise entirely based around new characters and gameplay.

Anyone who has played a Grand Theft Auto game before 5 will know that we don’t mean generic “invincibility” or god mode codes that do nothing beyond make things easier.Īside from variety, cheats also boast combinability. However, the game’s story mode has a trick up its sleeve, one that is absolutely outlawed in Online, to keep folk coming back for more: cheat codes. Beyond Rockstar’s diligent DLC support that has yet to cease, adding massive amounts of new content entirely for free and giving even veteran players something new to progress towards, GTA Online also has an active player base that’s more than capable of making their own fun. GTA Online, on the other hand, presents the illusion of endless content. Sure, it’s open world and you can do whatever whenever, but you don’t have any impact on the storyline or the structure and outcome of missions. And while there is a total of three endings in the game, lending it a measure of replayability, GTA 5 is almost wholly linear in terms of progression. However, all that content, in spite of its impressive amount, ran out sooner or later. It was also enough for over 11 million people who bought the game on day one, without any kind of multiplayer game mode available at the time, as well as the countless millions more who leaped into the virtual world before the GTA Online servers launched almost a month after release. We were back in Los Santos with countless things to explore and experience. For most of us long-time fans of GTA, that was enough, more than even, to hook us. The breadth of its content was staggering for the time and still makes it count as one of the most expansive games available. GTA 5 is absolutely massive, both in size and scope. These activities and missions were optional, but fleshed out the world, told us more about its characters, introduced some kind of mystery or were simply a means to get some in-game cash. Stepping into the shoes of one of three protagonists, players would progress through the game’s storyline while also engaging in side missions and miscellaneous activities. It was a vast, open-world game filled with satire and violence, allowing players to explore and affect the city and county around them. It was a pure, classic GTA experience staying true to the style and content of previous games in series while rising above the expectations set by them. GTA 5 launched in late 2013 without a multiplayer mode included. The game is a record-breaking success story like no other and has single-handedly helped gaming rise to new heights of mainstream interest and acceptance these past few years – but much of that can be attributed to the game’s multiplayer mode, GTA Online. ![]() Rockstar: "Stadia, well it's not you.it's me.In spite of having been initially released back in 2013, Grand Theft Auto 5 frequently pops up in headlines and articles, even these days.

Ichigo narrowly succeeds in this endeavor, but emerges from the training stronger than he ever was before. Kisuke Urahara, a mysterious shopkeeper and ex-Soul Society resident, approaches Ichigo with a way to recover his powers and save Rukia: Ichigo must die, and then find the Shinigami powers hidden within his own soul before he becomes a Hollow. Rukia is taken to Soul Society, where she is put on death row. Not only is he defeated, but Byakuya strips him of the Shinigami powers Rukia had given him. Ichigo tries to stop the arrest, but his efforts are in vain. Her superiors in Soul Society send two elite Shinigami, Renji Abarai and Byakuya Kuchiki, to arrest her.

During this contest, Yasutora "Chad" Sado and Orihime Inoue, two of Ichigo's friends, have their own spiritual abilities awakened when they are assaulted by Hollows. This goes horribly awry, as the bait Uryū uses to start the contest is far more effective than intended, summoning legions of Hollows. In order to prove the Quincy are better than Shinigami, he challenges Ichigo to a Hollow hunting contest. His powers also attract an enemy of another type: Uryū Ishida, one of the few remaining Quincy, a race of spiritually-empowered humans who were butchered by the Shinigami long ago. Ichigo's spiritual power as a Shinigami is surprisingly large, attracting hungry Hollows and even affecting nearby humans by awakening any spiritual powers they possess.
