let's get into it
<title>
So first up congrats to José K who won last weeks giveaway of Dead Effect 2,
You should by now have a steam gift email.
And for this week I've decided on a AAA title to see how it goes,
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, A comment was made not too long ago about it being weird that
Adam Jenson now does youtube videos,
So it's kind of a perfect pick.
To have a chance of winning a copy of Deus Ex Mankind Divided simply click the gleam

Now that that's out the way
<title: Muslim ban affects gaming>
Now the muslim ban, or to be more specific,
the ban on travellers from 7 of many countries that have a primarily Muslim population,
Its affecting everything, even gaming, with game developers among the 'all walks of life
folk' who are now having real trouble getting into the U.S. for their jobs,
Publisher 'Devolver Digital' has anounced some plans to help developers unable to enter
the U.S. for the upcoming Game Developers Conference in San Fransisco.
Providing Gaming PC's and VR Headsets to help promote their games for them, obviously, they
can't help everyone, but it would seem they will do what they can,
It's really good to see people helping other people like this and the promotion Devolver
will get due to this act was clearly helpful in their decision to do so,
but I encourage spreading of the word for this as they deserve all the promo they can
get.
<title: Switch Luanch Release List is Weak>
Many have been saying they think the launch list for the Nintendo Switch is a little weak,
And sure, it is a bit, but I remember most consoles used to have fairly bad offerings
with 1-3 great games and lots of fluff,
In this regard, to me at least, it seems fairly standard.
The President of Nintendo 'Tatsumi Kimishima' spoke on this subject in a recent earning
briefing, expressing how this is all to plan,
as most of the time, big launches end with a large lack of sales and slow down on playing
the consoles as there is a huge gap between launch and more games being released,
Nintendos staggered release is to combat that and have a more consistent release schedual
for games.
This strategy seem the smart way to go for me, sell few sell high is always a good strategy
if you can pull it off,
by staggering the release lists and having less choice early on, they will most likely
increase their overall sales as a lot of people will commit to a certain amount of game before
they even pick them.
So will be more likely to buy those extra titles they wouldn't have chosen if there
was a bigger flashier game available.
Later on, when the big flashy titles come out, they will still buy them as they wanted
them in the first place.
Also in this briefing Tatsumi Kimishima anounced that the In developement list for the Switch
is now more than 100 games
So don't let the launch list fool you, there'll be plenty of games to play.
<title: Bioware teases new Game>
Bioware has been teasing us a little with it's new game, estimated at an April 2018
release, they tease it will be a new type of game we have never played before,
They are mixing genres and building a whole new franchise, They are calling it an action
adventure, and they are saying f%^& all about it.
With that mystery, their obvious passion, and their history in video games, I am getting
a little excited for what this may be, let's hope it doesn't get overhyped and we get ourselves
an awesome game next year.
<title: Fallout 4 and Skyrim Updates>
Bethesda are all about the updates at the moment by giving out a free update labelled
as a love letter for Fallout 4 that is essentially an uber texture pack, giving PC users and
Playstation 4 Pro users largely increased visual fidelity,
The PC update is recommended for those with 1080 graphics card, this is a bit friggin'
steep and it will most likely work on less powerful cards, I assume they are accounting
for high setting 4k here, where as 1080 and 2k users will probably be fine with a 970,
980, 1070 etc, though this is my assumption, my logic for these thoughts are simply that
they have to give a recommended that fully works no matter what with a large room for
error to prevent fallout-
huurururururur
-from fans when everything isn't playing on ultra 4k dual monitor with the PC in an oven.
Either way, the damn things free, so try it out.
Skyrim's update is much smaller with a few quality of life changes and some hotfixes.
Check out the full list of changes in the article linked in the description.
<title: For Honor BETA>
For Honor is being released on the 14th of febuary and right before it, Ubisoft is holding
an open BETA on PC, Xbox One and PS4,
The BETA will be active between the 9th and 12 of Febuary,
And will have 9 heros and 4 modes for play with the full release having 12 Heroes and
5 modes
