7 Tips For Fallout Character Creation















Fallout like most RPG games there is technically no right or wrong way to play the game, everything is your choice. There is however a few ways you can make the game a little easier just by good character creation and here are some tips.


  • Have high intelligence, having 10 intelligence will increase the amount of skills you can get which are very important; especially early on in the game.



  • Think about what sort of weapon you are going to use and increase the stat related to that weapon, e.g if I wanted to make a character that uses his fists I would increase Stamina.

  • Have high Lockpick and Science skills, you need these because these skills are needed very often in any Fallout game. These skills are more important than your weapon skills and need to be maxed out.

  • Later on you should also get high Repair skill because you need to be able to repair equipment, getting high Repair will make you better at repairing than the shop keepers.

  • Don't use situational perks such as Nerd Rage because they will be of little use most of the time.

  • Don't bother increasing the Charisma score because most of the time it is pretty useless.

  • Have at least 5 luck, it increases your skills slightly and increases chance of getting critical hits.

That's basically all the little tips you need for character creation, the rest is up to you.

11 Call of Duty Multiplayer Tips


In call of duty many players make mistakes which lead to unsuccessful games here are just a few tips to improve your game play success.

  • Use your radar, this is important as it tells you everything that goes on without actually being near it, this way you can anticipate enemies from a distance or ones that are approaching you meaning you will always have the upper hand against opponents not looking at their radar.

  • Unless you are a skilled player avoid using high kill streak rewards, stick to useful things such as UAV to give you an advantage until you are skilled enough to earn those high kill streak rewards.

  • Do not run in carelessly but keep moving, so while moving keep an eye out for the enemies.

  • This may seem obvious but don't run into crossfire.

  • If the enemy has dogs find a secure corner so it is easier to take them on.

  • If someone has a helicopter or an air strike go inside.

  • Only use weapons that are easy and comfortable to use, if you can't use a sniper rifle don't use one just because you have seen someone else use it well.

  • Look out for claymores or bouncing bettys, I personally found it hard to do this when concentrating on other aspects of the game but eventually I got the hang of it, although sometimes I still forget to pay attention.

  • Try to avoid vehicles, if someone throws a grenade near them you are as good as dead.

  • Avoid using tomohawks and throwing knifes unless you are skilled at using them.

  • And lastly have fun, if your having fun while playing your chances of winning will increase because you will not be frustrated.

    7 Ways You Can Improve Your Farcry Map Making Skills
















    In farcry one of the best features has to be the ability to create maps from scratch. You can mould the land into ant shape any form, you basically take on the role of god. But ask yourself this question, have you ever made a map that you are truly proud of? If so then you probably won't need any tips but for those who haven't been able to create a professional looking map yet, here is some tips that might help.



    • Set a goal in mind
    You need to decide what your map is going to be about, is it going to be a huge map with lots of vehicles or is it going to be a small sandbox map where using close quarters weapons is the main form of playing. You can even make the map revolving around one central piece of the map, I built a map based around a huge bridge I built and a river underneath it


    • Don't overcomplicate things
    Make things simple, only use what is needed for your map to work because adding too much stuff will look overly cluttered and unprofessional.


    • Your map doesn't have to be original
    Look at good maps and take elements from them, this will help you to decide what works and what doesn't and doing this will allow you to get good at map making and later on make original ideas.


    • Ask people what they like in a map
    Include elements of what other people like to see in a map, this way you increase your chances of coming up with something that is brilliant.


    • Make it clean
    Make sure there is no random holes that people can fall down and get stuck in, otherwise people would get annoyed with playing on your map.


    • keep testing it
    Test your map with other people so you can find out how to improve it, necessity is the mother of invention, you only know if something can be improved if you know there's a problem.


    • Have fun
    Having fun will allow you to be in a more creative state of mind and will increase your chances of coming up with a master piece.

    The Evolution of FPS Games



















    Out of all the types of video games ever made Fps games are some of the most popular. Today there are many huge franchises such as Call of Duty, Battlefield and Halo that are based solely on Fps games. The reason this game genre has been so successful is not only because these games look great but they are also incredibly fast paced; which appeals to gamers everywhere. But were these games always stunning? Were they always fast paced? Lets find out.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7chDIySXK2Q
    The link above leads to a game called Maze War. Maze War was developed in 1973 and was the very first Fps game. The idea was that 2 players have to find each other and kill each other, did I mention it was in a maze; hence the name "Maze War". This principle is very similar to the multi-player that most Fps games have today. Another game was made shortly after this game called Spasim, which followed a very similar idea.

    Well now you know how it began but the question know would be, how did it evolve?

    In 1992 a game called Wolfenstein 3d was released, you can see it here
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=561sPCk6ByE
    If you heard of a game called Doom you will probably notice how similar this game looks, this is because they are made by the same people and Doom was made just a year later. Despite the graphics looking bad by today's standards, back then they were quite detailed. Compared to Maze War, Wolfenstein looks good and you can see just how things were changing, it had a lot more option than Maze War and most noticeably it is in colour. In 1993 a modified version of Wolfenstein 3d was put on a games console called the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), this means Wolfenstein 3d was the first console Fps game.

    So what came afterwards?

    The next step of evolution was Golden Eye 007 which focused on 4 player split screen multi-player on the Nintendo 64. Here is some game play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktwVEYqnpcc
    This game was really good for it's time and is probably what made Fps popular, just like today's games this one was good looking (at the time) and was incredibly fast paced; overall a fun game.

    After this loads of Fps games started appearing, all had similar graphics and mostly focused on multi-player. Franchises such as: Halo, Call of Duty and Medal of Honour started, all of them competing to become the best Fps game.

    The game play changes are quite minor but still seem to make a big enough difference for the games to keep selling such as Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, which includes Exo skeleton suits. Graphics have and always will improve because they to help a game sell.

    I think the next step would be to make a high quality Fps game for things such as the Xbox Kinect or the PS4 Camera. Then after that virtual reality Fps games, that would be awesome.

    That's basically it, hope you enjoyed; please comment


    Black Ops: Using a Ballistic Knife vs Veterans






    Bots in Black ops are more difficult than those on Black ops 2, but they still have a weakness; Concussion grenade. The veteran bots without tactical mask will find it difficult to combat Concussion grenades, it slows them down so much that killing them becomes quite easy and this video shows just how easy it is.

                                                                        Enjoy








    Black Ops 2: Using a Knife Against Veterans



                                                                         1v9







                                                                    Free for all



    I found out a while ago that the bots from Black Ops 2 are very weak against smoke grenades and to show just how weak they are against them I made a couple of videos: One where I go against 9 of them in Team Death Match and  another one which is a free for all, both games are against veteran level bots. In both videos I use a knife and a riot shield.

                                                                                                                                Enjoy.
