Misc Video Game Pickups

Another Week, and a few more Game pickups, mostly Disney Infinity Star Wars Figures.

Picked up Darth Maul @Walmart for $4.96

Stopped by Goodwill on the way home from a few hours at work on Saturday, and found some more Star Wars Infinity Figures, for $1.99 Each! Yoda's Lightsaber even lights up when on the base, Sweet! they should have done all the Jedi/Sith this way.

 Also at Goodwill were these Power Disc things for Star Wars Infinity as well, also $1.99

I picked up a New game for the Xbox One. I did go to Gamestop, only because I used my free power up rewards points to get $25.00 off. Now I really only bought this for the Modern Warefare Remaster. I had Zero interest in Infinite Warfare. To me, Call of Duty is WW II, and the Modern Warfare through the Original Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3. When Call of Duty went all "Titanfall meets Halo" I lost interest.

Well, as with all new games (boooo) There was an install time. Infinite Warfare only took about 20 minutes to install, while the Modern Warfare Remastered was only at 22%. So after waiting and watching Modern Warfare crawl on the install meter, I figured why not bootup Infinite Warfare and check it out. Yeah I am guessing Activision planned it this way, it was the only way people were gonna check out this "Space Call of Duty" game.

Eh, it was just a generic Titanfall/Halo clone, Nothing impressive at all. A few of the MP maps even reminded me of Doom. Not a game I really intent to spend any time playing. Even with the included Terminal Map. Terminal was my favorite Multiplayer map in Modern Warfare 2, and when they brought it back in 3. Looks to be like Infinity Wards "Nuketown". But, even that was just, blah. Infinite Warfare is just not for me.

I think Activision was well aware Infinite warfare would bomb, hence the inclusion of the game everyone has been waiting for as a HD Remaster, Modern Warfare. Without this, in my opinion, Infinite Warfare would probably have had the lowest sale numbers of the series, ever. Just my .02.

I was finally able to play Modern Warfare Remastered the next morning, and it was like an old friend. Oh how I missed the satisfying "Ping" when getting a Headshot, like a BB into a Beer Can, Brought a smile to my face.

Yep, it all came back to me. I went 16 & 1 on Crash, Guess you can go home again.
