Review: Planetside 2

A new Massively Multiplayer Online First-Person Shooter enters the Free-to-Play market, and it’s out to make a big bang. Planetside 2 features high-end graphics for an MMO, and boasts a persistent world where thousands of players fight for territory on the world of Auraxis. Unlike most FPS games, you can often find yourself playing part in battlefronts with hundreds of other soldiers, sieging enemy bases, or defending important objectives. Unfortunately this also means the game will run computers with lower specs into the ground. Overall, Planetside 2 can be quite fun and addicting for FPS lovers, but not without its own issues and shortcomings.

Funs, Frustrations, and Suggestions: Planetside 2

For the past several days I've been playing the First-Person Shooter MMO, Planetside 2, and found myself enjoying the game quite a bit. I haven't played the original Planetside, so I knew very little going into the game. Overall I find the game really fun for FPS players and worth trying out. Did I also mention that it's Free-to-Play? Here are some of my funs and frustrations with the game so far:

Fun:

• Good for hardcore and casual players
• Casual players can just go in and mindlessly kill the enemy.
• More serious players have objectives to capture for territorial conquest.
• No commitment or demand to play
• Can play for any length of time. Not necessary to dedicate a part of your day to get through content.
• No real "quests" or "content"
• No rails for your gaming experience.
• No level limits or content separating players.
• This can be stale for some players though, since it can get repetitive.

League of Legends: Katarina Rework - First Impressions

After a glance at Katarina on the PBE recently, here were my initial thoughts on her:

• Combo feels nice with the new W
• Feels more active with the new W
• Farming is much easier with W
• Farming is more predictable and manageable with the bouncing to nearest targets on Q
• Creates a tough choice between safety of Q, vs higher damage output via W
• Very glad she's still resourceless
• Kit now encourages her to be in melee more, emphasizing more high-risk gameplay with higher rewards

League of Legends: Introduction to Positioning

Melee

Tanks - Champions like Malphite, Alistar, and Amumu. Tanks are usually the ones to initiate the fight and attempt to cause as much disruption in the enemy team as possible. This includes trying to separate the enemy team to minimize their damage and ruin their positioning. Tanks also try to protect their own team, especially their squishies.Tanks often want to be the ones focused on their team so their squishies can have free reign.

Fighters - Champions like Irelia, Garen, and Rumble. Fighters are often durable enough to jump straight into the fray and pursue the target of their choice. They usually help focus a target and try to take down enemy squishies. Fighters prefer to be the focus over

1. Invisible Mode

I, for one, don't always want people to know I'm online or playing a game. Some people don't like being bothered at times, or don't like being spectated when they're trying out something new or are having an off-day. It's also upsetting at times when people trail you into Custom Games just because they see you creating one, or throw comments about how you don't play with them when you decide to play on your own or with other friends. Sometimes you just want to enjoy the game in peace and quiet, rather than feel like you're always being watched.
