    Fallout 76 is an online, action RPG developed Bethesda Game Studios and Published by Bethesda Softworks. Acting as a prequel to previous Fallout Games, and being the first multiplayer fallout game, Fallout 76 brings about the ability for players to play co-op with up to 3 other players, with 20 other players in the sever.

     

    The game thrusts players into the open world of Appalachia, Bethesda’s representation of West Virginia. The game features recreations of real locations in the region, and is four times the size of that in Fallout 4. Players are also able to build bases around many of these locations, allowing them to set up camp, and relocate if necessary.

     

    Players have the choice of participating in PvP actions, or avoiding it, with both play styles rewarded and penalized in fair manner. The game also features a Battle Royale game-mode, called Nuclear Winter. Players are placed into Vault 51, after which they can choose where to spawn with their teams. A total of 52 players is in one match, with players able to even launch nuclear payloads, provided they found the codes and a briefcase to launch them from.

     

    Bethesda continues to update the game, adding things such as the Battle Royale mode, Wastelanders update, which introduced human NPCs to the game, as well as Seasons with various content updates throughout.

    Hunt Showdown - Interest Blog

     

     

     

     

    Hunt Showdown is a first-person, competitive shooter, both developed and published by Crytek.


    Set during the late 1890s, just as the Wild West is disappearing, and the modern age looming, players are thrust into the roles of bounty hunters, their main task is to kill a legendary monster, and escape via certain exfiltration points on the map, in order to complete their bounty.


    Players, working alone or in pairs, are required to dodge other players, undead people, and environmental traps, all while using their Dark Sight ability, in order to find clues about their bounty.  Once found, and killed, they must banish their bounty back to hell, defending it in the meantime from other bounty hunters, whom main task at that point is to kill those players and claim the bounty as their own. Those who manage to banish the bounty successfully must escape, in order to win.


    Players can go into matches with a set arsenal of weaponry and gadgets, to compliant their play style and desired tactics. Each player bounty hunter is unique, in the sense that they earn experience and level up by surviving, allowing them to brandish better equipment and weaponry.  However, dying in a match with said bounty hunter means losing them permanently, and as such, players are faced with the choice of taking their best hunters, thus increasing their chances of winning, while also facing the chance of losing them.


    While the game is considered a “Battle-Royale” in a sense, its unique settings and gameplay looks differentiate it from all others. One such example is audio, where the game uses Binaural Audio, which allows for directional hearing, allowing players not only to recognize if sounds are coming from their left or right, but front or back, above or below. Players are not only advised to use audio in game well, but the best players know to listen to audio queues from the environment, and set up traps as well.


    The game features two game-modes, Bounty Hunter, and Quickplay, which is more akin to the usual Battle Royale format, in which players are tasked with activating areas on the map, while fending off attacks.

    The CRIMENET network offers a huge range of dynamic contracts, and players are free to choose anything from small-time convenience store hits or kidnappings, to big league cyber-crime or emptying out major bank vaults for that epic PAYDAY. While in DC, why not participate in the local community, and run a few political errands?

     

    Up to four friends co-operate on the hits, and as the crew progresses the jobs become bigger, better and more rewarding. Along with earning more money and becoming a legendary criminal comes a character customization and crafting system that lets crews build and customize their own guns and gear.

     

     

    • Rob Banks, Get Paid – Players must choose their crew carefully, because when the job goes down they will need the right mix of skills on their side.
    • CRIMENET – The dynamic contract database lets gamers pick and choose from available jobs by connecting with local contacts such as Vlad the Ukrainian, shady politician "The Elephant", and South American drug trafficker Hector, all with their own agenda and best interests in mind.
    • No heist ever plays out the same way twice. Every single scenario has random geometry or even rare events.
    • Choose Your Skills – As players progress they can invest in any of five special Skill Trees: Mastermind, Enforcer, Ghost, Technician and Fugitive. Each features a deep customization tree of associated skills and equipment to master, and they can be mixed and matched to create the ultimate heister.
    • Weapons and Modifications – A brand new arsenal for the serious heister, covering everything from sniper and assault rifles to compact PDWs and SMGs. Once you've settled for a favorite, you can modify it with optics, suppressors, fore grips, reticles, barrels, frames, stocks and more, all of which will affect the performance of your weapon. There are also purely aesthetic enhancements - why not go for the drug lord look with polished walnut grips for your nine?
    • A Long History of Additional Content – More than 70 updates since release, including new heists, characters, weapons and other gameplay features like driving cars and forklifts.

    DrFajitas Review - 

     

    I've personally played the campaign for Titanfall 2 and it is phenomenal. It is hands down one of the best single player campaigns I've ever played and the game play just feels so good. It's not your typical follow orders to achieve success, you basically do what you want to get the objective done and I like that. The combat system is amazing along with the mechanics of the titans, Titanfall 2 is one of my favorite releases in the last five years and I strongly encourage you to check it out, especially since it's on sale currently.
