Ubisoft has recently released a new Ghost Recon Wildlands update that crossover with Splinter Cell. Michael Ironside, in all his glory, is back.
However, the update also brings an easter egg that conveys a very sad truth about Metal Gear Solid and the stealth genre at large.

You only need to watch it for 20 seconds to understand the easter egg, but I'll provide context.
So in this clip, Sam and this woman are talking about another agent with a "bandana" this is a reference to series heroes Solid Snake and Big Boss. The lady states that the agent has retired which catches Sam off guard, he laments "It's only me."
It's a sad reminder that Metal Gear Solid, as a franchise, is dead. Konami has fucked it up to high heaven. Splinter Cell is the only well known stealth franchise still standing. I just hope Ubisoft has a new Splinter Cell game in the works, this is their time to capture the stealth genre.
And also Fuck Konami!

The dangers of talking about greed in gaming
If there's disturbing realization I've come across and trust me I'm kinda too late in saying the obvious here, but when it comes to exposing the fraudsters in this industry you'll get a sense of "why bother?" Let me clarify that by saying this. The video game industry and corporations in general will continue to find ways to be make money. Making money isn't a bad thing, let me clear. However, corporations will use any trick to get more money from consumers. When I discuss the blatant greediness these companies do, I do so in the hope of enlightening people. Sure I'm under no delusion my journals attract so much attention, I think at best they get like 100 views? But I still like to say something, and these journals help with that. If I can make even one person see how bad things are, I feel good about myself knowing people can be awoken to this madness and maybe push back against the Sonys and EAs of the world. However, at the same time they continue to do so and people are either so
I finally get to try out Hi-Fi Rush on ps5
So despite my earlier posts criticizing Microsoft for porting their own titles to PlayStatio,((My argument being it harms competition) I was still eager to try out hi fi rush. It’s a game I got recommended by someone and it’s one of the few Xbox series exclusives I wanted to try out. So in hindsight microsoft did me a solid and saved me 500 dollars in buying one of their oversized bricks. i just started playing but I wanted to comment on how amazing the game looks and how well it is animated. Like seriously it’s like watching an animated cartoon! I’ve been gaming for a long time and really it Is kinda hard to be impressed in an industry that shoots out the same game every week. Combat wise it’s fun, but I’m just starting out. It’s a wonderful hack and slash game (Yea I will call it that. I dislike the terms character action game or spectacle fighter because those sound dumb to me. I don’t care what you think or say lol)
My bad
So yesterday I foolishy let nostalgia and blind fanboyism drive me to make a fan boy post for Star Wars battlefront collection. This port has really bad bugs.It’s overpriced. 34 dollars for two old ps2 games. I bought more modern games for less. For some godly reason its memory is over 30 gigs for two ps2 games with barely any improvements. sooo yeah my bad. Don’t spend your money on a lazy port like this.
Star Wars Battlefront collection releases tomorrow
So tomorrow we're finally getting updated releases of not just two classic ps2 games, but arguably two of the best Star Wars games to date. No I don't mean EA's horrendous Battlefront reboots, but the ones by Pandemic Games (Which was closed down by EA funny enough). To say I'm excited is an understatement. Battlefront 1 and 2 were classic games I've replayed many times in my youth. Sure, it's been a decade or so since I last played them, opinions change over time, but I like to think the games are just as good as they were back in the 2000s. A time when gaming was corrupted like it is today (See Battlefront 2 EA for a good example.) These games were fun to play, were filled with so much content like Galactic Conquest which made it feel like you were actually trying to conquer or restore freedom to the galaxy. Those games didn't have any microtransaction or lame dlc passes. They are relics of a bygone era, but I can't wait to replay them.
