Since Bungie decided to fill their latest game with Things That Are Actually Fun, the Co-Opticrew has found it quite a bit more difficult to detach from than the original. As such, our weekend plans continue to feature a stream of aliens, loot, and alien loot.
Hard to believe it, but it’s September already, which heralds a brand new fall season. This month on MMOCO, we’ll be looking at the console release of a new piece DLC for Elder Scrolls Online, a new raid for Secret World Legends, and a new water powerset for DC Universe Online....
Listen, you guys don't need me to tell you what most of the Co-Opticrew will be up to this particular weekend. Bungie's latest co-op loot shooter has arrived in the form of Destiny 2, so you know we'll be playing it until our eyes bleed. I will say, though, that I honestly wasn't expecting it to just barely edge out a loot shooter that's half a decade old. I guess that just goes to show that you can never truly escape the siren call of better loot.
SteelSeries was kind enough to send over a pair of the Arctis 5 USB headset along with their recently released Sensei 310 gaming mouse. I've been using both exclusively for the past week, switching from a Razer Chroma mouse and a Astro A40 headset. Here's how they compare.
The Co-Opticrew has been hard at working sowing the seeds of co-op gaming for weeks on end. We've made the populace aware of as many announcements, patches, and dev videos as humanly possible, and now we reap our just rewards. At least, that's what caused our upcoming extended weekend in my headcanon. It's also possible that this holiday comes pretty consistently every year and our work has extremely little impact on it.
Last fall, HyperX joined the mechanical keyboard market with the debut of their Alloy FPS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. After an overwhelmingly positive response from gamers and reviewers (you can check out our review here), this summer saw two new versions of the Alloy being announced and released: the Alloy Elite and the Alloy FPS Pro.
The Co-Opticrew has spread themselves pretty thin this weekend, with hardly any game getting more than a single mention (though, depending on how Sam's trip with his Mother-in-Law goes, you could possibly tick another mark for Absolver). It's hard not to see this as a good thing, though, especially since we're still technically in the "dry season" for game releases. Granted, most of these games have been out for at least a few months, but it's nice not to see the staff's plans listed as "watching the snail in our backyard as he makes his way to yonder creek".
You can run, you can drive, and you can fly, but you'll never escape your inevitable obsession with Rocket League. It could span years, or it could only last a few days, but at some point in your life, you'll have an unexplainable desire to get better at car soccer. It's going to happen, so you may as well get it over with now.
Since July’s issue of MMOCO, some big things have happened for Guild Wars 2. Details on the long-awaited Path of Fire expansion were released and a preview weekend happened just this last weekend. For August, we’ll be diving into these two topics....
Well, folks, I don't mean to scare anyone, but it's looking like a minor apocalypse happened around these parts. Much of the Co-Opticrew is MIA this weekend, including our Site Owner, Nick, and our Lead Editor, Jason, and o-... wait. If they're gone, does that mean I can put whatever I want in here?
As with most good weekends, the Co-Opticrew's plans involve tracking down and subsequently beating the crap out of The Actual Devil. There's just something about sucker punching ol' Horns and Tail himself that makes it feel like time well spent.
The pride of building a really dope fort still seems to be lingering from last weekend, so it's looking like the Co-Opticrew will be staying the course and enjoying a double dose of Fortnite. However(!), Supergiant's latest game, Pyre, is also out, so a couple of us will also be fighting for our freedom by straight dunkin' on fools.
