(AfroGamers.com) You know, Crunchy Roll is great for watching, binging, and discovering anime. It’s even great for rediscovering stuff. It’s amazing how often Ronin Warriors/Samurai Warriors pop up on streaming platforms. In the 1990s, it was a kind of one those throwaway series for syndication despite being a fun, action-packed ...
(AfroGamers.com) Oh isekai, how I dig thee. However, there are times early into a series when I become angry for the protagonist. Sure, the writer would’ve written the antagonists as so insufferably d**kish and over the top with their oppression that it’s easy for you to hate them. The main ...
(AfroGamers.com) In decades of watching anime and reading comics/manga, there are certain tropes that pop up often that you notice. They might become tropes you really enjoy, some that annoy you but they’re a staple of what you enjoy—but they’re usually there. For instance, one trope I hate is the naming ...
(AfroGamers.com) I was a year late to Dead Island 2 and recently, it was made available on PlayStation Plus. It’s an open-world game with crafting and loot on PS Plus—of course I’m going to install and play it a bit. Who knows, I might just finish it! Dead Island 2 ...
(AfroGamers.com) Gearbox’s Borderlands is a franchise I missed out on when the games first dropped. I was probably busy playing Elder Scrolls IV or Fallout 3 at the time. It’s odd because this is definitely a franchise I would’ve enjoyed if I played it back then. The first time I ...
(AfroGamers.com) I’m not the biggest horror fan but I dig zombie films and comics. Video games—it depends. A legendary series like Resident Evil never really appealed to me—then again, I never gave it that strong of chance. It’s odd because I gave Dino Crisis a go, beat it and the ...
(AfroGamers.com) I’m not the biggest on exposition and characters getting a ton of TV or page time to explain their backstory but I do love lore. There are better ways to go into a character’s backstory and motivations than for everyone to stand around and let them cook. It’s a ...
(AfroGamers.com) As fall rolls in there are three things I tend to do. First, I might play Stardew Valley or a Story of Seasons game most of the season. Second, I dive into the Sonic the Hedgehog comics again. I don’t know what it is but I love these comics. ...
(AfroGamers.com) The worlds of Super Mario always make me wonder about how is anyone living and thriving here? It’s going to be a bit of a thing, so grab a snack and a drink. I’ve been playing Super Mario games since the late 1980s and when you’re a kid; new ...
(AfroGamers.com) I enjoy the Lord of the Rings films and they’re one of my favorites to rewatch. There is more to catch up as far as film and TV are concerned and I still must re-read the books, but I’ve always enjoyed the franchise. If there’s a LOTR game, I’m ...
(AfroGamers.com) In 6th grade, we had more computer-oriented classes and one of my favorites was this hybrid wood shop-computer science class we had. For the most part, you were graded on attendance and if you made anything in class: a keychain during leather working or something. Most students got on ...
(AfroGamers.com) Earlier this year, my brother and I were heavy into Outriders which had a lot of good stuff there. Two problems it had was a lack of consistent and engaging content and mediocre motion. Outriders simply wasn’t the most fluid game as far as movement. You have to be ...
(AfroGamers.com) For a couple of months, I got back into Warframe, a third-person shooter from Digital Extremes. The game came out in early 2013, over a year before Bungie released the first Destiny game. I mention Destiny because Warframe comes off as something of a third-person version of Destiny—which is ...
(AfroGamers.com) EverQuest is one of Sony’s longest-running franchises and pretty much the only one that has always been active. It’s an older MMORPG meaning it’s a truly living game. As long as enough of a player base exists, so will it. Currently, EverQuest (1999) and EverQuest II (2004) are still ...
