The Growing Trend: Releasing Broken Games

15.11.2016

There is a serious issue plaguing the gaming world and it shows no sign of slowing. Developers are delivering a lot of product, that’s for sure, but some of these games are being released before they're really ready to hit circulation. We recently saw one of these broken games release this past Tuesday with Watch Dogs 2. Granted, the game is not unplayable, but Multiplayer is completely offline and not available. Watch Dogs 2 has multiplayer integrated into the single...

I have a love/hate relationship with the Dragonball series. On one hand it is a classic series that has spanned generations, on the other it is as cheesy as anime come, filled with more tropes than many others in the genre. This is to say it is a cartoon that has plenty of flaws but they are easy to ignore due to the it's fun and entertaining nature ripe with lovable characters many are very invested in. The Xenoverse series has...

There are very few games that have a name as well known as ‘Skyrim’ by Bethesda studios. Released five years ago on November 11, 2011, this game captured the imagination of millions of people. Over 23 million copies sold, a massive living world and nearly endless adventures, Skyrim left a huge mark on the gaming community. Now with the recent re-release, one of us here at GIGAMAX was finally able to experience this incredible video game because they missed the...

Xenoverse 2 Gigs and Mack take on the new Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2. Not only do you get to create your own Dragon Ball characters, the combat makes you feel like a real Saiyan. If you're not sure it will be worth it to buy another Anime game that doesn't really deliver, take a quick look at our test run. But from first impressions, this game delivered some fun and exciting experiences in the short time we had with...

The HD remake is an interesting concept that is relatively new to the gaming industry. Games that would have once been forgotten and left on the shelf to collect dust now have a second chance to entice players that may have missed it the first time around, or remind returning users why the game was so great. This idea started as a small trend that saw lesser known games like the last generation being revived and quickly turned into a torrent of triple A...

Battlefield 1 | What To Expect First-person shooters have gone through some serious transformations in recent years. From classics like Call of Duty 2 and Battlefield 1942 to Call of Duty: Infinite warfare and Battlefield 4, things have changed dramatically. Battlefield 1 was one of the shooters that were able to come out, against the mold, and make a name for itself by standing out above the mash up of AAA shooters that came out in October and early November....

Battlefield 1 EA DICE did something incredible with Battlefield 1. This gritty, action packed first person shooter is something that will be remembered. The campaign offers an immersive and cinematic experience that truly feels like you're fighting for your life. Gigs and Mack wanted to bring you in on some of this action. Below you will find the GIgamax Battlefield 1 Playlist. From the campaign to scores of heart stopping multiplayer action, the Battlefield 1 Playlist has it all. Be...

In a market over saturated with games that feel it’s necessary to launch you into space with a slew of advanced tech, Titanfall manages to stand out above the typical future based shooter. This sequel accomplishes the same intense mix of ground/robot combat mix that made the original unique and makes it feel much more natural, engaging, and exciting This entry also adds a campaign mode, satisfying many critics of the original’s lack thereof. While the game is a fun...

Virtual Reality has always been an eluding dream for gamers of all kinds. We had some novelty VR experiences out there, at Disney, Arcades and other attractions. They were cool, exciting, but the user had little to no control over their experience in that interactive digital world. These past couple years has finally broke that trend, letting VR users explore and open and interactive world. Many of the systems out there, Oculus, Vive even cheaper versions like Google Cardboard was...

Author: @Joystickfox Find more from her here! Kitsuga.com *Disclaimer time: We Happy Few is early access, and so it’s not a complete game. Compulsion Games has said that it is “feature complete” but the story has been held back so that players can get a feel for the game in early access. * We Happy Few, is one of those games that was destined to be disappointing right out of the gate. After a stellar showing at E3, and...
