Mispurchases - What do you regret?

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,actually I had something completely different in mind but an hour playing certain games made me realise how many times we stumble over games that cost us a lot of nerves. Please feel free to comment and share your experiences with games that make you so angry you just want to bite through your keyboard.Let us jump in:Golf with your friends Actually a nice game I have to say. Not quite a golf simulator (at all) but nevertheless provides a lot of fun.However, it is an Early Access and I posted about this sickness before and the only

Article Vault 002 - SFB Games

So this is an odd one for our vault series as it's content you won't have read in the past, this is the transcript of a 2-year-old interview Opium Pulses did with SFB Games at EGX 2014. It was a video interview but the venue was so loud that the audio quality was awful and made the whole interview impossible to hear. We've pulled the audio, done our best to improve the quality and written it for people to read as an article instead. Hope you all enjoy!  This is Opium Pulses at EuroGamer 2014  interviewing SFB Games (previously known as

Grand Theft Auto V and Elex

VROOOOOOOOM!!!The latest update brings the biker gangs back to the streets!A very own Lost MC for everyone who is able to purchase a clubhouse.Is that the update GTA needed in so long?Clear answer: YES!Updates in form of DLCs/Addons are actually a way to keep games alive, and so GTA as well.The last two expansions failed greatly and didn’t motivate enough players to come back to Los Santos.Now with the option to have a very own bike chapter, changes in the president system (equivalent to CEO/VIP) and more bikes, chances are high that there are more bikes than ever before rolling down the

Our Time at EGX 2016

As is now tradition for the members of Opium Pulses based in the UK, we made our way to EGX (Eurogamer Expo) in Birmingham, our press passes allowed us earlybird entry to all 4 days but we stuck to Thursday and Sunday. We arrived bleary-eyed in good time and were allowed to walk straight in. Of the two days, if you want peace and quiet, room to move around and better opportunity to secure interviews, Thursday is your day. If you like huge crowds, active tournaments and regular giveaways the weekend is the time to go.Anyway as much as we love

World of Warcraft - Legion [Personal review and Opinion]

Kingdoms will burn!World of Warcraft - Legion has been released and with that latest expansion, I returned to Azeroth, this time with a very bad aftertaste.People have been playing WoW for very different reasons:Some liked the PvE* or PvP* system, others because of friends whether it's been online or real life or just to talk.Yes some even because of the economy (auction house) - a little 'market' within the player environment to get rid of your scrap, or to even feel like you're an actual broker on Wall Street.Let's be honest: World of Warcraft never had an advanced or even the

When the Game of Life Owns All Other Games

My name is Flint Stocks.  Some of you may know me from my extensive writings on the now indefinitely missing in action game review site, GameXotic.com.  Others may not know me at all.  When Warren Dance recently suggested I do some writing for Opium Pulses, I was honored.  I felt like it was a great opportunity to dust off my keyboard after the long hiatus from writing that resulted from the untimely demise of GameXotic.  It was a disaster which stemmed from a classic case of real life problems getting in the way of gaming.  It’s a subject worth talking about.The

Snake's News - Demaster Detected

Well, let's start.RESIDENT EVIL 7 GAMEPLAYJumpscares, walking, and no mention or footage of combat system. If you're up for it then go ahead and watch. You also could've seen parts of the footage during Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show.POKEMON SUN/MOON EXCLUSIVESVersion-exclusive Pokemon are the shit. Check out the heir of Harambe's legacy and a floofy wolf.BIOSHOCK DEMASTEREDCould it be that...the actual remaster...looks worse?

Snake's News - Back Up Again

After a week without computer, because you know, broken screen kinda limits my ability to write or do anything, we're back with news. But without a huge summary because I'm sure someone must've done that before. No? Well, I'm not doing that.GEARS OF WAR 4 TRAILEROf course, it has the cover of most butchered song in guitar shops ever, the song that has been forbidden in some of them...and of course it's Metallica with their "Nothing Else Matters". Well, a cover of it, as I said before. Still, this is the launch trailer, even though the game is coming out in

South Park: The Fractured But Whole Censorship

RESPECT MA AUTHORITAAAAAAAAH!The second part of South Park will be released soon and I can not tell how much I'm up for that!As a fan of the first game and of the series itself it's going to be an early christmas for me this year.Are you just as excited as me? Well then let's get into business!Fist bumps bros!South Park has always been sarcastic and sometimes certainly below the belt. Yes, South Park is provocative, disgusting and obscene.But exactly this is the spice that made the show this successful and great!Bad tongues argued that there was a time I hated the

Snake's News - BIG Catch-up Thingy

Oh, don't look at this post like that. I am lazy and not motivated, that's all. But at least I have SOME sense of responsibility, so here we go.HARRY POTTER COMES BACK TO VIDEO GAMESBut it's only as a part of LEGO Dimensions, so no game dedicated solely to young wizard's adventures. So expect Skylanders-like distribution of things and partially-interesting things.BATMAN: RETURN TO ARKHAM COMPARISIONGame's coming out on October 21st, we're getting a comparision trailer now. Everything seems to look better...except Joker himself. THe hell happened, Rocksteady?DAWN OF WAR 3 GAMEPLAY!Are you ready to take care of all the heresy in
