More Thoughts From Me #282: “I’m Starlord man!”
I love the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. If it wasn’t for the epic Avengers two-parter (Infinity/Endgame), they would be my favorite Marvel movies. I love the humor, action, adventure, sci-fi, fantasy, and the music. Oh my god I love the music. And soon…there’s going to be a video game! Guardians of the Galaxy will soon be a video game.

Far Cry 6 Features – OCD Players Beware
Far Cry 6 has been one of my favourite games this year - I've enjoyed the story, how it unfolds, and the cool people you meet along the way. These are all staples of the Far Cry franchise, and most open world Ubisoft franchises for that matter. But the more I play Far Cry 6, the more I became concerned. "I'm not clearing the map! WHY AM I NOT CLEARING THE MAP!"
Far Cry 6 Features – Using a Smart Phone in Far Cry 6
Is 2021, and Far Cry 6 is helping us do what we already do in real life all the time - play on our phones, a lot. In previous Far Cry games, we often would use a set of binoculars to scout out enemy bases, tagging enemies, and more. That made a ton of sense, and was enjoyable enough of an experience. While I'm happy that the new tagging system highlights the weaknesses of enemies, I'm having a bit of difficulty extending my belief to tagging using a camera on a cell phone.

But does this bundle of nostalgia live up to my childhood hype? Let's take a look!
FIFA 22 Comes with Balanced, Slower Play
FIFA 21 has been characterized by many as a goal fest, where trick mastery meant filling the net, and solid positional play meant...well, sometimes never being rewarded for playing soccer the way it's done in the pros. But with a few gameplay updates to FIFA 22, goal fest is over, and a more balanced experience is shinning through, one that emphasizes positional play and crisp, accurate passing, as opposed to flipping balls over people's heads, nutmegging them, and more.
FIFA 22 Tutorial is Outstanding
When a tutorial is required, either for new players or because a new concept has been introduce into a game, so often companies use the most boring way to show off the new mechanic, or teach the controls. EA Sports has tried to do away with that type of crap, and instead have created a fantastic short story experience that walks players through the basics of running, passing, shooting and more, all set on the streets of Paris, and in the famous stadium of PSG!
