Two items of big news
a- Minecraft server blunder
b-Dead Rising 2 xbox 360 leak
a- If anyone has visited a gaming related news site in the past month or two they would be aware of a thing called minecraft. Of course this sudden burst in popularity recently caused minecraft's servers to bust when they tried to roll out a new update, the server itself was so backed up that the developer himself had no way to distribute the game's update other than to release the update for free, on a stripped down, text only, version of his own website. What does this mean? FREE MINECRAFT for anyone, for the entire weekend. So if you ever wanted to demo the game, check it out now while it is still free. Just to reiterate to slow people, this is the FULL version free for the weekend, all features unlocked. This is the link to download the file and play instantly.
b-News event #2, would be the glorious 360fags getting their grubby hands on the leaked copy of Dead Rising 2. Originally, the PC edition leaked first, but it included zero day protection which locked the game itself to anyone that even legitimately installed it, until the day of release. But of course, like most 360fags , they got the game as well, and already are playing it. Good job publishers... first a leak 3 weeks in advance, now a leak today(sometime around 8 am) .
Now for a segment on my own personal opinion on the events (because as a gamer, i don't like it and im sure some other people do not like it as well when stupid news writers put in their own quirks and comments about a situation they honestly have no clue about. So ill leave that stuff until the very end. I'll call this part the
Bottom Line
Article A) Personally I know for a fact Notch (the developer of minecraft) paid individual viral marketers (read: neckbeards with no jobs) to go around various gaming news sites and repeatedly praise and post about his game. Eventually one of their virallers was not paid properly, or not paid at all (so he claimed) and he posted a whole buttload of proof on a site i frequent ( it is anonymous and has loads of participants) . And suddenly there was no viral there for a short period of time (read: several days)
THEN came this (reference links: link1link2link3) He has made over a million dollars now selling a half-complete mess of a game, I'm almost certain several thousand of that switched hands to help promote the game's popularity on a larger scale.
Article B) I will not link blackcats site from here, for various reasons. But apparently the PS3 version has already been played and compared to the 360 version of this game. And the PS3 version is inferior to the 360 version for apparant reasons. I have also myself watched someone play the 360 version of dead rising 2, and i can say the game is not perfect. From what I saw, there were some ridiculous amounts of loading screens within a timeframe of every 5 minutes. First, the game itself was segmented into small areas, INSIDE of an area. So you will get a loading screen within an enclosed area, such as a building. Also you will get a loading screen BEFORE -AND- AFTER each cutscene. I witnessed in a fight against a man and his lion, there was this occurance actually twice, one time for the man and one time for the lion. Seems a bit much huh?
Well this is my first article today, i hope you enjoyed it, leave feedback, improvements i can make , tell me WHY i suck if you must say i suck. And dont even bother about grammar police, deal with it.
