Top 10 Video Game DLC Expansions Of All-Time
The world of Grand Theft Auto V is so big that it requires three characters to explore it. While that line may sound ripped straight from a PR-laden interview, it’s quite accurate considering telling a story from the eyes of just one man would lead to new areas not being discovered for tens of hours into the game. The game stars three protagonists: Michael, Franklin and Trevor. After a prologue that sets the events of the game in motion, Franklin is the first playable character. Similar to CJ in San Andreas, Franklin is well-meaning gangster who lives with his aunt in the ghetto and is trying to make a better life for himself. Clearly more intelligent than his known associates, Franklin is confined to being a repo man for a shady car dealer who plays the race car to get customers into vehicles they can’t afford, only to have Franklin repo them weeks later thanks to ludicrous financing. After one of the customer’s father, Michael, gets a whiff of this little scam, he comes down to pay the dealer a little visit. Impressed by his attitude, Franklin decides to reach out to Michael to see if they could work together.
What a week for Double Fine ! First, Mojang's Marcus "Notch" Persson offered to personally fund Psychonauts 2 , then the Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter shattered records and racked up over a million dollars in less than 24 hours. As I write this, the total funds pledged stand at over $1.5 million -- a fairly staggering figure that is, by Tim Schafer's own admission (via his ever entertaining @ TimOfLegend twitter feed), greater than the budget for either Day of the Tentacle (which Schafer estimates was "like 600k") or the just-released Double Fine Happy Action Theat
For the current-gen re-release of GTAV, the resolution has been improved to 1080p at 30fps. The draw distance, level of detail and texture resolution have also all been increased. While the draw distance is still not perfect, it's a lot better than it was last-gen, with most objects coming into view when you'd actually be looking for them. The characters themselves look fantastic, with more facial detail and facial animations as well as higher resolution textures across their wardrobes. There's more pedestrians on the streets, making the world feel more alive. Even the animals have softer fur and there's more species to boot. If softer animal fur wasn't enough to get you excited, all of the TV shows and short films in the game have even been rendered in high-resolution. GTAV was always a great looking game, but Rockstar has done a great job bringing it into this generation and making the world all the more beautiful.
A lot of film enthusiasts are pummeling the upcoming Battleship movie for being an unabashed rip-off of Transformers . Honestly, I don’t mind. The movie seems purely designed to make money and never would have happened had it stuck to the actual board game roots. (You’d be hard pressed to make a Monopoly movie too these days without a sequoia in Marvin Gardens breeding a zombie infection.) Rather, it’s Activision and Hasbro’s announcement of an FPS/strategy hybrid based off the film that has me running for the lifebo
Going by the YouTube handle 'Fysho,' one inventive gamer has taken advantage of GTA V 's seemingly unlimited spawn code cap (predecessor GTA IV only permitted one vehicle cheat at a time) to create a series of explosive chained blasts. Utilizing the game's single-player-only cheat codes — available in full below — Fysho was able to pile over one hundred vehicles atop famous landmarks like Mt. Chiliad, as well as various crowded intersections, before sparking a continuous rolling explos
No game character is more under-appreciated than the taller half of Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. , and in 2013 the company decided to give him his due. Announcing 2013 as 'the Year of Luigi,' the company backed up the claim in the form of New Super Bros. Luigi U , downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros.
As amazing as the soundtrack was last-gen, Rockstar shockingly decided to add even more songs to it in this re-release. A whopping 150 additional new tracks have been spread across the radio stations. Highlights include Holy Ghost! — Hold On, Hot Chip - Flutes, Neon Indian — Polish Girl, Lorde - Tennis Court, !!! - One Girl/One Boy and many, many more. If that's not enough, more DJ commentary has been recorded from some of the top DJs including DJ George (Twin Shadow), Nathan and Stephen (Wavves), Kenny Logins and more. On the talk radio side of things, Duane Earl (Danny McBride) has recorded new show segments. Crafting GTA V has always been a series epitomized by its radio stations and by putting in the effort to expand GTAV's selections, not only have they made an already complete soundtrack more robust, but they've made driving around a fresh experience
Chain reactions: they're absolutely everywhere, from mediocre mid-90s action flicks, to upbeat Diana Ross pop hits, these cascading dominoes of destruction even make their way into the occasional video game-or-three. The latest title to take advantage of this gunpowder-trail plaything is none other than resident fire-starter **Grand Theft Auto V
