As you know here at Mods “R” Us, we are huge fans of Overwatch and the last couple of days there has been some pretty neat Overwatch news and we wanted to talk a little bit about it.
Overwatch Reversing Player BansSome unlucky people have found themselves banned from competitive play even though they did nothing wrong. It has so far affected around 200 Overwatch players, but do not freak out as Blizzard has said it is a small bug and they are on it. Anyone who has been banned during this time is going to be looked after and have their account reinstated. People who had never left a game early or done anything offensive had reported they had been banned from playing! Blizzard then came out and confirmed that it was a bug, well at least we now know they are fixing it.
Cool Overwatch Figures Coming Later This YearWe think the Overwatch Funko Pop figures are awesome. But just recently it was revealed that in October there is going to be a new line of Overwatch figures. These are part of the Cute But Deadly line and they look awesome. They are super cute, but also pretty badass looking. These are going to be blind box mini figures, there is going to be 12 characters in this first series and if you want our opinion, Lucio, D.Va, and McCree are the coolest. We hope that since they are blind boxes that someone figures out what the codes on each box are so we can get the figures we want.
We are glamming things up a bit today as we look at another fantastic entry in the Grand Theft Auto series!
Grand Theft Auto The Ballad Of Gay Tony (2009/10) Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PCThe Ballad Of Gay Tony was the final GTA IV expansion pack and the third Grand Theft Auto release in 2009! First released on Xbox 360, The Ballad Of Gay Tony would be released on PC and PlayStation 3 the following year.
This is regarded as one of the best entries in the GTA series. This expansion sees you playing the role of Luis Fernando Lopez who is the personal bodyguard to the flamboyant, Gay Tony who is the owner of the largest nightclubs in Liberty City and also a socialite, overcome the obstacles in his life ranging from drug deals and contracts on his life. The story is just fantastic and has much more glitz and glamour than GTA IV and the Lost And The Damned. Gay Tony was already one of the more memorable characters from GTA IV so seeing him get a more starring role was a lot of fun.
Gameplay was as you would expect, but they added a scoring system for missions as well as lots of new side jobs you could take such as entering a fighting competition, dealing drugs and dealing with club management to name a few. While the game was around the same length as The Lost And The Damned, it felt like there was much more to do here.
The Ballad Of Gay Tony was greeted with worldwide acclaim. Everyone loved the story and it would be the most popular of all the GTA DLC. It is worth noting that this along with The Lost And The Damned would be released together as the “Episodes From Liberty City” bundle that let you play both stories without the need for a Grand Theft Auto IV disc.
As you know, here at Mods R Us, we are all about first person shooters. We have been taking a real close look at Call Of Duty WW II lately, but there is another first person shooter that was announced recently that took us and many other people by surprise and that is Doom….. for the Nintendo Switch.
While we focus on modded controllers for the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. It is still very interesting to us that the Nintendo Switch is getting a port of Doom. This is the same Doom that blew us away last year on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC it actually works great with our controllers.
The Nintendo Switch is not as powerful as the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One so the game has taken a hit in the frame rate department. It has been said that it is locked at 30 FPS which has gotten some people up in arms. We feel that the fact this is running at all on the Nintendo Switch is amazing and to be honest with you, people who never got to play the game on Xbox One, PS4 or PC are probably not actually going to notice.
Doom is going to just have the single player campaign on the Switch cartridge or card. The multiplayer is going to be available, but you have to download it and it is a 9 GB download! With the tiny 32 GB storage that the Switch has, this is actually a far bigger deal than the game running at 30 FPS!
Going back to the 30 FPS thing, we feel that as every Switch owner is going to be on a level playing field, the lower frame rate should not be an issue, but we are sure that some of you who have played the other versions will certainly notice it.
