The Wastes Vs. The West

So, Gamelings!
Bethesda has taken legal action against Warner Bros.

I know that there are a lot of Westworld fans out there. I can't blame you.

I mean... I've never seen Westworld but I have always wanted to.

The premise is fascinating. 

Recently Warner Bros. teamed up with Behaviour Interactive to release Westworld the mobile game.

Cool, right?

On the surface, it seems like a great idea until you find out that Behaviour Interactive were contracted with Bethesda to work on Fallout Shelter.

No biggie, right?

Wrong.

Unfortunately Behavior Interactive violated their contract and used many elements of Bethesda's software and intellectual property including Bethesda’s copyrighted code, trade secrets, and other rights to develop the Westworld game for Warner Bros. 

Bethesda commented on the new app saying, "The ‘Westworld’ game is a blatant rip-off of ‘Fallout Shelter."

Now, to be thorough, I downloaded the Westworld game and was immediately taken aback.

The games are almost identical.

How in the world did they think that they could just skirt by with this?!?

Westworld (Cowboy Fallout Shelter)

Fallout Shelter (ACTUAL Fallout Shelter)

The gameplay mechanics are even the same...

Doubletap takes you into a room.

Earn currency and resources by getting people and making them do things.

Use that currency to expand your underground base...

I don't think that Behaviour Interactive has a snowball's chance in hell of winning this one at all.

Hell...

It's even questionable that Warner Bros. will get out of this unscathed.

Bethesda, you know that I have an unhealthy love for you.

I got your back.

Tell me what you think of the games and this lawsuit in the comments or rant with me on the Facebook page!

Until next time,

AAAND It's official, Gamelings!

Rage 2 will be released next year!

Oh, Bethesda, we love you so.

Check out that sweet gameplay trailer! How awesome is that?

So far it looks incredibly similar to Rage (as it should). There seems to be a bit less driving required in this game because, lets be honest, i suck at driving games... Give me a gun and tell me to shoot giant alien monster mutant things? Sure. no problem. Put me behind the digital wheel and NPCs are at risk. I can no longer guarantee their safety. There will probably be a lot of me getting stuck on inanimate objects and then backing up at full speed into a crowd of innocent bystanders... I am the mustang meme of the videogame community.

Like the first Rage, this one is tribe/community based which is super cool. I like to think that we'd still find our own little communities after an apocalyptic encounter... WE ARE PACK ANIMALS, PEOPLE!

ANYWHO!

They announced yesterday that Rage 2 is a thing that is finally happening and that there would be an official gameplay trailer today and they did NOT disappoint! the Rage series (omg yay it's a series now!), like most of Bethesda's works, is pretty all-inclusive as far as gaming styles go. FPS, RPG, Racing, etc. It is all there and I can honestly say, even though there's racing bits, I am so stoked for this to be released so that I can play it!!!

Also... can we mention that the level of Andrew W. K. in this game is Over 9000?!?!?!?!?!?

That's all I've got for you now, Gamelings!

Until next time,

Dear Bethesda: A Love Letter and A Request

My dearest Bethesda,

You have given me hours of entertainment playing your games. We've shared laughs and tears. I've rage quit a few times but you have always been there for me when I was ready to stop being a butt.
Now I hear that one of my favorite mobile games is expanding and I just can't control my emotions.

Not only that, but you have just teased us with the release of a few new games and the super upgrade of many others!
The 90's game "Quake" is getting your delicate touch in "Quake Champions". Lending to it, not only your amazing graphics capabilities, but e-sport level multi-player gameplay and unlocked framerates.



Next we have Skyrim. Ah, the beautiful, wondrous world of Skyrim.
What's that?
It's more beautiful now?
How is that even possible?





oh...
That's how...
In the Skyrim Special Edition upgrade the graphics quality increases immensely AND gamers are 100% allowed to use fan-made mods...
You've even built that into the game options.
Wow.



Not only did you just announce those things, but you also announced the final 3 DLCs for Fallout 4 (Including the ability to build your own vault,  some super sweet rube goldberg machines, and the ability to experiment on Dwellers)!


Not to mention tons of news for Fallout Shelter which now has 50 million players! WOW!




The updates to this wonderful game include:
send dwellers on quests
explore new locations
battle new enemies
all-new combat system
meet new characters
play on PC


WHAT?!?! I can play this on my PC soon?!? ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!


I love you, Bethesda. I love you so much.
You are so good to me and many millions of people around the world!

Now here's my only request:

Team up with our good friend J. K. Rowling  and let's get this Harry Potter world underway.

What do you say?
