Big News for the month September

       Some major news dropped in the month of September. First off the release of Diablo 3 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on September 3rd. The PC port to the console proved superior to its original on the PC which made a majority of the PC players upset as well as myself.

       September 4th was the release date of Outlast. This game is a survival horror game and it is crazy scary. I haven’t gotten too much time to play this game but from the 4 hours of game play I have gotten to play was terrifying. I literally can’t play this game for more than a half hour without giving up because I was scared. This game is amazing and more people should play this game if you’re a fan of the survival horror genre.

       On September 10th was the release of Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs a sequel to Amnesia: A Dark Descent. I am a huge fan of the first game but this sequel didn’t really live up to what I was expecting it to be. But nonetheless it’s still pretty amazing. And just like Outlast I got pretty damn scared playing this game

       On September 17th one of the biggest games of the year has come out. It is Grand Theft Auto 5. The game itself grossed over $800mil on the day it launched; breaking world record for highest selling game at launch. As well as breaking the world record for fastest game to gain $1 billion after 3 days of launch, the previous record holder for that was Call of Duty black ops which took 15 days to reach the $1 billion dollar mark

       The game itself is amazing, but with the release of the Online, it was a full blown mess. I didn't even bother going online for the first few days just cause of server issues within the game. The whole online itself was extremely buggy and was full of problem. Including characters made getting deleted, money from banks being wiped, technical issues and not even being able to go online as well. RockStar Games has said that due to all these problems that Online has been having they are giving players $500,000. But there are a few requirements to gain the money; first you must log on to GTA online during the month of October, and to install an update, that’s really all you need to do to gain the $500,000. The money will be placed in banks in game sometime in the month of October.
