MobileGees:
me post here in this dead section? God forbid. I'm a "business man" and would rather not create a topic that will just get less than 150 views and I don't think no one would which is why this section is dead and might just remain dead and the guy that just might ignite this section you seem to be chasing him away which to me isn't logical.

See, complains about the problem, fails to be part of the solution...

[quote author=Vasaratti16 post=69668398][/quote]And? Quoting me isn't addressing the issue or do you just want to quote for quoting sake?

And yet again, what have you contributed MobileGees? You're busy talking like plagiarism isn't a thing. Without him adding the correct source, he was plagiarising, plain and simple. When NLers read his posts, they assume it's his. He's trying to reap, where he didn't sow and if he was plagiarising your content without crediting you, you'd be singing a different tune. You keep complaining that this section is dead and yet, you've done nothing to improve it. How's that for common sense?

Oh and who do you think suggest his posts for FP? I do. Granted, I've taken a back seat because he always mentions lala, so lala beats me to it by posting it immediately.

LucemFerre:
It's not their fault that this section is kinda boring.
Most Nigerian gamers (like 90%) don't know jack sh!t about gaming accessories, modding etc. They would probably Google stuffs and just paste it here. All they do is look for console hacks at best.
But, it's mostly not our fault. Our system is on a wheel chair. To prove it...
AKliv010 doesn't even stay in Nigeria and that dude knows a hell lot. He doesn't just say things. He builds also.
The other day I advised not to buy fake gpu's and someone was asking what a gpu is

Vasaratti16 is the only person who posts reasonable gaming posts in this section.
Maybe in 50 years we will get there.

Even he is from the copy and paste crew (without actually acknowledging the source). At least, he's copying and pasting from entertaining sources. I'll give him that. But here's the thing, folks will complain and then do absolutely nothing about it. Then, we have the click baiters and the ones that will give you one paragraph and a link, expecting us to visit their site. That actually just annoys me into not even giving them the time of day.

MobileGees:
Cao free the jare, abi is there any rule on nairaland that says you shouldnt copy and paste? As far as I'm concerned this is a forum and not a blog there is difference.


The guy even makes the already dead gaming section lively and here you are bashing as if he just killed someone.

who cares if he copies and paste the whole google put for here who cares so far it makes sense.


vaserati ride on bro i dey your back kampe

See them, copy and paste ride or die, they must protect themselves... Y'all will complain about here being dead, but you'll not contribute, when you do contribute it's copy and paste (fine when you actually correctly source) or you'll give us one paragraph and then link us to your site. Free yourselves from your mediocrity, it's your mediocrity that's killing you.

Oh and BTW, MobileGees, you yourself haven't actually really contributed to this section, so free yourself from your own shackles of mediocrity first...before you try to help your fellow ride or die bro.

You are surprised?

I really shouldn't be, but one does usually hope.

Once upon a time in 2005, I saw my brother playing a game he called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas . I shouldn't have been watching this game since I was only eight and there were massive amounts of violence and profanity. But there was something that really resonated with me at that time: my brother was playing as someone that was black.



This was surprising since in most games I would play, it was either an animal-like character or a white person that I controlled. The only games that I can remember playing from that time that had black playable characters were Beyond Good and Evil and the WWE games. But I felt like Carl Johnson, the main character in GTA: San Andreas, resonated with me because he looked like me.

Using the movie as a reference, the Hollywood movie industry has been shy of black protagonist for decades until the advent of the ground breaking Black Panther. In case you're having trouble keeping up Black Panther is currently the fourth top grossing movie of all time that just how profitable the potrayal of the black culture in movies could get.

But why can't we get same in video games?




Modern gaming is certainly guilty of playing things too safe. For every Lucio, CJ, Lee Everett or an RPG where you have free reign over skin colour and gender, there are endless white protagonists.
There’s nothing WRONG with this, but try and list any well-known black protagonists, or female black protagonists. We’re in desperate need of projects that not only exude interest and engagement through everything I’ve mentioned, but to create games that wear these qualities on their sleeve, empowering, educating and progressing society in tow.


I remember the first time I played Mass Effect when I was 14, and I looked up to the character David Anderson. He was just this father figure and sort of a mentor to Commander Shepard, and he went against all the stereotypes of a black male in gaming at the time. I feel like he was a great representation of what a black male can be without verging into stereotype territory.

And let me not forget to say he was so damn cool.

I didn't get into the Final Fantasy series until just a few years ago, but I will always remember Final Fantasy VII because of how turned off I was from the game due to Barrett Wallace. He was loud, as the speech text would make him seem. He would curse at people like Cloud when he was mad, and he was also big and muscular. This seriously disappointed me, because it is not uncommon to find black stereotypical characters in Japanese media.


Understanding what makes these things offensive and not playing into stereotypes of black people is something Japanese developers and anime writers need to learn before feeding into it.

Developers also have a problem with making black people the main antagonist or an "evil character" in games. One of the biggest offenders in this regard is Resident Evil 5. Since this game takes place in Africa, you are expecting to see a lot of black people. The problem is, you are playing as Chris Redfield , a white man , in the game who is killing a multitude of black people throughout.


This led to controversy and backlash when the game was first shown to the public. I remember being on the playground in school back when I was in Jss3 talking about this to friends, because I was such a big Resident Evil fan and this came as a huge shock.


The same can even be said for Resident Evil 4, which has you killing a bunch of Spanish people as a gruff, white man.

We need developers to start adding more black, playable characters in gaming, be they black males or females. We need more characters like Lincoln Clay and Marcus Holloway because there aren't many, and that is a shame.

Imma need you to start writing your own stuff...see how you're claiming somebody else's life...that's the real shame.

Vasaratti16, unless you're a WhatCulture contributor stop claiming their content. I guess we should be grateful to their contributors for their lists...

Why did you fail to credit whatculture?

Are you an unconscionable thief?

Darn it Vasaratti16! I was rooting for you. Just add the source, don't claim like you slaved to write something when you didn't.

Incredibles 2

Emekus92:
Wolf warrior 1 which site did you download from

Watched it on Netflix.

Good Girls.

Xhisto:
Was being Lazy

You were looking for clicks.

Only available to those who preordered. Saved you the trouble.

Kaziar:
If you loved it or not, try checking out Elementary; it's a different take on the Sherlock Holmes epic and you might like it.

Used to watch it, haven't watched it in a long while.

troubleseller:
What is OTT?

Over The Top.
Now watching Wolf Warrior 2.

Wolf Warrior.

The Netflix "trailer" for part 2 is so OTT that I just have to watch this. I'm expecting classic 80s/90s action but in the 2010s. Even the opening narration is OTT. Did these mofos just do the slow motion dress up?!

Tau.

kingdaro:
Thanks I'll get an Xbox one s

Get ready to invest in batteries for your controller.

WHO NOMINATED AM, THAT GOAL WITH NO SENSE

Now, you need to stop talking nonsense, that goal was bloody brilliant and only a blind person or somebody filled with nonsense will deny its brilliance. You better go and cleanse yourself.

Arondizuogu:
Yeah I have completed like 2 towers, the third one is a misery. I'm thinking of starting the whole game anew because I'm tired of Fifa and NFL.
PS: oh wow so I have been dupes by these sellers? Reasons I don't buy stuff online.. should have bought a thief's end I wanted to buy..
I like females who play games.... infact I'm following up now lol

The game was not even full $60 sef, since it's basically a standalone DLC for UC4, I preordered it for £23, but I had some Amazon credit, so paid like £12. It's currently £22 on Amazon, but can be found cheaper elsewhere. You could have used US Amazon, I know they ship to Nigeria. Just use a walk through from YouTube, dey plenty*. Wait, I hope you're not actively trying to climb the waterfall because that won't work...
*just type, chapter 4 uncharted lost legacy

Arondizuogu:
I have used it for two missions, now I'm so lost that I don't know what to do.. I keep circling that water fall always! To think I bought it for $75 and it's just gonna waste like this? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

$75, see how they used you to play football that's more than the RRP. If I remember correctly, bearing in mind I played this on release for about a week, you're supposed to use the first building, the big ass tower, after you defeat the bad guys, you climb to the top and open the windows, it shows you the places for you to go. Solve their puzzles to find the place you need to be.

Arondizuogu:
I have stopped all these games!! I'm still stuck at the female uncharted. Who knows how to pass that car place abeg? I'm stuck driving around

Tsk, tsk, tsk, game way I don plat since. You're still in chapter 4. Just use a walkthrough on YouTube.

Sherlock.

Finally, watching series 4, let me see what all the hoopla was about...

Vasaratti16:
Last Of Us II

How could Naughty Dog disappoint?

Well, by going ahead with a game that no one asked for, nor convincing the masses it's necessary gameplay-wise after a sizeable demo.

Now, it's worth parsing out that obviously
Naughty Dog have earned their credo, and by all means we have faith in writer Neil Druckmann and the team to continue the franchise in the best way possible. That said, have you noticed the bizarrely muted response this has been getting across the internet, and since first being confirmed?
Plot points like the potential for Ellie's mother to be a main character and Joel to have kicked the bucket are fine enough, but the game's " theme of hate " is falling back on a lot of gratuitous gore to convey a tone we'd already established through world-building and character motivation alone.

It almost feels attention-grabbing - the complete anathema of 2013's release being a confident, steadfast example of immaculate storytelling.

LoU 2 will actively struggle to justify its existence depending on how the relationship of Ellie and Joel gets treated, and you have to wonder: Will it be "enough" for this to essentially be another Uncharted 4? I.e. Something that's more than fine, but very much felt "tagged on"?

Man, if Naughty Dog ever fails, it will be epic. But, they've been doing 200% for a very long time. It's practically impossible for them to fail, but there's always a first time.

Vasaratti16:
Beyond Good And Evil 2

If there was one that game that exemplifies everything wrong with showing a project off too early, it's Beyond Good & Evil 2. Yes, the idea of a sequel to one of gaming's most criminally overlooked gems is A Damn Good Thing, but let's come back down to Earth a sec: Creative Director Michel Ancel had barely started work on the sequel - with seemingly no gameplay specifics whatsoever - when the public found out.

The best Ubi could do at E3 2017 was a character model and chunk of the world, rendered in detail - to which early demos then spent half hour stints zooming around as a way to convince us everything was on track.

From here it'll mean multiple years of development and a reliance on CG trailers, the latter coming together at the last minute depending on whatever's been nailed down by Ancel himself. It's why we got an elaborate load of nothing at E3 2018, and why Jade was only shown off in the closing few seconds.

On a hope and a prayer, BG&E 2 will still be spectacular, but... well... it's going to be a LONG time before we see it, and that only spells disaster.

The beef I've for this prequel. After all the nonsense they pulled with the original game and the cancelled sequel. They might as well just remaster the original for PS4. 'Cause, I refuse to acknowledge this one until it has officially been released.

TheBulusNotes:
We know
But PES officially supports modding.
I am playing World Cup 2018 on PES 17 via mod

And we played it as an official update from EA for FIFA 18.

Dollywood:
Fifa games really wacks on my ps3.. but pes is just too good.. fifa18 on my ps3 looks like real football on andriod .. they should try and upgrade the ps3 version Fifa games really wacks on my ps3.. but pes is just too good.. fifa18 on my ps3 looks like real football on andriod .. they should try and upgrade the ps3 version

You appear to be also broadcasting yourself. PS3 is not current gen, if I remember correctly, FIFA 18 (PS3) isn't even the compete standard edition.

KingSlayer1:
Seems some PES Fans don't know this.
"The 2018 UEFA Champions League final in
Kyiv will mark the end of a very successful
and fruitful 10-year partnership between
Konami and the UEFA Champions League."


FIFA has the Licence now, that means you won't get MORE of UEFA Leagues on PES.

Serie A Official Italian
License Coming to FIFA, (and you should that's the League Ronaldo belongs to now)
So with more and new licenses, graphics, in-game features, and game modes; getting FIFA 19 instead of PES 2019 is actually NO-BRAINER.

It is quite funny how Konami don't really seem to care for their games anymore, they just want to make money with pachinko machines and some fanboys want to carry PES on their head. Cho, PES 2018 was below £6 at one point on PSN. While, EA is trying to tell everybody that only multiplayer matters, while folks are spending tons of money on FUT.
