GoNintendo Review - Metroid Prime: Federation Force
"All in all, I was actually quite blown away by Metroid Prime: Federation Force. I was expecting to get an enjoyable experience, but I've come away with a true appreciation for the game"gonintendo.com impressions gamingeek
I let slip a few things I wanted for my birthday to my wife, one being a wireless Xbox one controller with a headphone jack so I could chat through the steam cliant while playing games on Steam. So that's what she got me as a present from my son. And to top it off, she also got me an official xbox one headset, which is miles ahead of the solution I had been using up to that point, namely any headphone with mic that came with my latest mobile phone.
Start installing it yesterday. First up the wireless dongle for use with Windows. That's done. Ok, how do I connect the controller? Turns out it refuses to connect unless I first connect the controller through a USB cable, unplug it, try wireless and hope for the best. But hey, in the end it kind of works. So now I go downstairs and plug it into my Steam Link. Nothing. Some quick googling learns me that Valve themselves couldn't be assed to create a driver for this thing, bound to be one of the most popular controllers for gaming on PC, to work with their own hardware and are endorsing a third party app 'VirtualHere' instead. Fuck this.
So I just give up for the time being and try to get the headphone working on my PC. I plug it into the controller Nothing. Some more googling. Apparently MS couldn't be assed to get the headphones working wirelessly for anything other than Windows 10. Which I didn't upgrade to since I like my Win8.1 better. No way I'm paying €135 and putting up with their 'new and improved' OS I don't want, just to be able to use a headset wired to my wireless controller. Oh, and currently Valve also doesn't offer a means to use a headset, let alone a mic through the Steam Link.
I called the store she bought everything at today. With a bit of luck I'll be able to return it, although they might just flat our refuse since it's not sealed anymore. What a waste of €100+. I hope they take it back, because €100 has become a lot more money for my wife as she hasn't been working much over the span of the last year due to what happened to our little girl.
Good luck on the return. I was going to say that Windows 10 has not been a horrific experience for me, and probably would not be too much of a mistake to upgrade to. Then I remembered Microsoft is no longer offering free upgrade. So yeah... good luck on that return.

Eh, even if I did upgrade to Windows 10 the headphone still wouldn't work through the Steam Link. So basically any game that requires voice chat for coördination is off limits on the Steam Link, unless you've got a full squad of friends all using skype.
Ok holy fuck. First we get the new RE7 which is basically another not actual gameplay from the game segment. This time a VHS of a woman running from a creepy lady with a lantern. But it shows a ton of hiding, fucking boring piece of shit hiding behind stuff. This mechanic in horror games done in the amnesia style is terrible. If RE7 is a stealth hide and seek game I will be so fucking pissed.
So there is that, then out of nowhere we get Metal Gear Survive, a 4 player coop survival shooter where you got sucked into a worm hole and fight zombies. Whhhaaaatt the fuck! So One of these games has fighting zombies and it's the wrong one. What a shittycash grab, this is what we can expect post Kojima I guess. This is the umbrella Corps of MGS. What a shit day.
To top it off I am playing a shitty game at the moment. Everything sucks.

When did the multiplayer shooter become the signifier of "we don't know what the hell we are doing with our franchise?" Nosgoth, Umbrella Corps, Metroid Prime Federation Force, and now Metal Gear joins the battle.

Cannot stress this enough: HeadLander is the latest in a long line of Metroid-Vanias put out in the last few months, but you should REALLY check it out! It has Double Fine's trademark quirkiness and sense of humor, with it's solid gameplay and mechanics, but it has such a well-done 1970's theme to it... color-scheme, perverted jokes, cliched sayings, dance moves and cultural references and all... it's probably one of the most FUN ones I've played in a while... and this is after just finishing the also excellent Song of the Deep!
Tonight I saw the strangest damn thing. I was driving the grocery store and I saw someone driving a Delorean in the other direction. I don't think I have ever seen one outside of a comic convention.

Fuckin a. I hate forced online in single player franchises.
Lol, Pokémon Go is on the news again. There's this little hellhole town with a paltry 35 inhabitants, which gets flooded by people playing Pokémon GO on a daily basis because it's a spawning point for large numbers of rare pokemon. The village is asking for a curfew for trainers so that the town can enjoy some peace and quiet at night. The police is seeking contact with Niantic to get the village removed from Pokémon Go.

Anyone read the Pig sex Pokemon Go article in the updates?
So some kids in Sweden stumbled upon a couple in pig masks having sex in public, at which point the female pig mask woman fires a laser in one of the kids eyes. The couple were wearing t-shirts that said King and Queen.
Apparently even after this incident they continued having sex and there was a furore about town. The police are looking for the couple.

Congrats to the USA and UK.
We are topping the medals table at the Olympics right now.
That would be great if the Mass Effect Trilogy gets remastered. Cmon assholes.
I am having a I am having a meltdown but I don't have the time to properly express how fucking stupid this news is right now. I'll be back.

Just as I restarted the server is having maintenance 😠Cannot stress this enough: HeadLander is the latest in a long line of Metroid-Vanias put out in the last few months, but you should REALLY check it out!

HIGHLY recommended!!
If these are points based, meaning that I can keep playing along despite undoubtedly being pretty bad at it by now, this could be fun.
