<br />
Yeah I want to talk a bit about the XBOX. Not the Xbox 360, not the Xbox One , but the original XBOX. I recently got mine out of the basement crawlspace and set it up on my old 55 inch projection screen to see if it worked and to try out some old games.<br />
<br />
I started it up and it came to life as if it were the first day I got it. I have the original Duke controllers as well and while lots of people preferred the re-designed S controllers , I loved the giant Duke controllers. The first time I felt it rumble I was amazed. <br />
<br />
Anyway, the system started up perfectly and it read every game with no trouble at all. I was in heaving playing some of my old favourites like Gunvalkyrie and BloodWake. I even played Outlaw Tennis and some Halo 2 for good measure. It was glorious. There are some great games from previous generations.<br />
<br />
I only had to buy one XBOX. I never had to send it in for fixing and I never had any weird rings of death. The system worked and that was that. My Xbox 360 on the other hand had to be returned 3 times until I got one that "worked" My first one got the red rings of death, my second one was scratching all my games , my third one had a dvd tray that refused to open and my 4rth finally worked. <br />
<br />
It still works today , except that in order for it to read games, it needs to be lying flat. It wont read games if standing up but it will still read dvd movies. I also had the HD DVD drive and my first one died on me. I replaced it and that one still works fortunately as I still have some good movies on HD DVD. <br />
<br />
I remember the day I got the system. I don't remember details like the exact date and time, but I remember a friend of mine said she would buy me a ps2. I had no idea why but she said she would. Her brother had one and all our other friends had a Ps2. I couldn't refuse that so we went off to a mall and into an EB games store. They were all out of PS2 systems so she bought an XBOX and I was like "What is an Xbox?" But I took it home and hooked it up. It was awesome. To this day I'm glad that the store was out of PS2 systems.

I think we see a headline saying something along the lines of "controversial new film... " or "...faces online backlash.." and we think its a widespread issue, when really its not. The backlash might come from a tiny amount of people on twitter who are mad at the premise of something , or it might be called controversial because of the same reason, a small handful of people were upset while the vast majority of people either dont care, or like the product. </p><p>Lady Ballers does what comedy used to do. Hold up a mirror to current society and make fun of the more ridiculous parts of our lives. This movie doesnt have Hollywood actors in it. All actors would no doubt stay away from this because they arent allowed to take part in a movie with this subject matter. Which is supposed to be praised and never criticized in Hollywood. So , the actors are all comedians who most have never heard of before. Some might point at this as a downside to this film, but I dont see it that way.</p><p>I cant stand seeing the same "It" actors in the same movies over and over again. And actress gets popular and all of a sudden shes in EVERY movie. This happened with Anna Taylor Joy, who I really like, but I dont want her in every movie. I have always wanted certain movies to use unknown actors in roles so that we dont see the actor but we just see the character. For example, I love Tom Cruise, but in every movie, hes tom Cruise, In Mission Impossible hes Tom, in Maverick , hes Tom. I'd like to see a movie where I dont know the actors well and I can see them as the character they are trying to play.</p><p>That said, Jeremy Boreing did a great job as the coach. He was fun to watch and delivered some great lines and moments. The rest of the team all had their own personalities and quirks and were all fun to watch on screen. Jeremy's on screen daughter was very good, and even the ex wife was a good character even in her small role. One who stole all the scenes she was in was Billie Rae Brant who played the Journalist trying to use the Lady Ballers for a story. She was great and I loved how she and Jeremy played off each other. </p><p>After seeing the hilarious trailer, I was worried that all the funny bits were shown in the trailer. Luckily I was wrong and the movie was funny all the way through and was paced well and I never felt bored. Some jokes didnt land , but other throwaway lines were very funny. There was a reference to space lasers i found very funny. <br /><br />The movie is about men who peaked in high school discovering that they could regain their glory days and be winners again if they pretend that they are women and compete against women in sports because if they compete with men they would be going up against younger and much more athletic men and wouldnt stand a chance, but against women, they would win it all. </p><p>So they sign up and get the old team together. I think its great that it showed people giving them dirty looks at first, but then quickly accepting these men are "real women" and cheering them on while they absolutely massacre the women they go against . <br /><br />Some of the characters see how they are affecting the women they are beating and feel bad about it and start to question the morals of pretending to be women to win. There are some good messages in the film and when the end was approaching I was wondering how they would end the movie in a satisfying way. Well the ending caught me by surprise and was absolutely perfect. They nailed the ending, something many movies fail to do. Like Old Dads which started of good, but ended on a pathetic whimper.</p><p>This was solid, funny and full of heart. I really hope this is a return of comedy. The cameos in the movie were also great. Daily Wire is putting out some good content lately and I look forward to their new animated series called Mr Bircham. </p>Law212http://www.blogger.com/profile/14874142830400328378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881217702303949447.post-643457169523923192021-03-29T07:59:00.008-07:002021-03-29T08:24:35.532-07:00Arizona Sunshine VR (Oculus Quest 2)<p> <u>Arizona Sunshine VR</u></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv9E2eA2elsIJE7Tfia8aRDic_GRgh_E3fe9TR60FS-SVKENmh52fuQpWS4KwDIn6auKQZ2xDQDtZD3qUA4AxWSf0-ljjHq4Mtnr-oGVSVbJFfB3L7cX83Msj3CMWvOo86YZflLfO_FsXq/s960/az1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="960" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv9E2eA2elsIJE7Tfia8aRDic_GRgh_E3fe9TR60FS-SVKENmh52fuQpWS4KwDIn6auKQZ2xDQDtZD3qUA4AxWSf0-ljjHq4Mtnr-oGVSVbJFfB3L7cX83Msj3CMWvOo86YZflLfO_FsXq/w463-h180/az1.jpg" width="463" /></a></div><br /><u><br /></u><p></p><p>Arizona Sunshine was one of the first two games I purchased for my Oculus Quest 2 which I purchased a couple of months ago now. A co-worker was telling me about his Oculus Quest 2 and how great it was and how fun this Arizona Sunshine game was. It sounded need, but I wasn't all that convinced, plus the 400 + dollar price tag (CAD) was a bit off putting to try out a new tech which might just be overhyped gimmick.<br /><br /> I had used an Oculus Go previously, when last winter my mom brought one home and me and my wife were there for the holidays , and she said she bought it because it was on sale and looked fun. We all had a try, had some laughs and pretty much forgot about it. <br /><br />A couple of months ago after hearing my co-worker go on about his quest 2 and AZ, I booted up the Oculus Go and messed around to see if it was any good. I ended up enjoying some small games it had. The Go only has one controller with a trigger and a thumb pad. There was a beat saber like game where you have a hammer and switch colours of your hammer with the trigger to hit the appropriate colour of blocks that come your way.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirdVIU_fl4_5cREMC3JaYwgxYDTNz5z-3AdHO9BSQ1heGH2jfv7rkZyRGkQxfcM4zz-kU5PmaiL_UnaCJzEaJLTYqQNWsoS0JdBozeCUyFsi9ldI0wJooxyVUUd2wk7GW4kQ6xB6LhUde_/s1000/az2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="563" data-original-width="1000" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirdVIU_fl4_5cREMC3JaYwgxYDTNz5z-3AdHO9BSQ1heGH2jfv7rkZyRGkQxfcM4zz-kU5PmaiL_UnaCJzEaJLTYqQNWsoS0JdBozeCUyFsi9ldI0wJooxyVUUd2wk7GW4kQ6xB6LhUde_/w427-h180/az2.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><br /><p><br /><br />The point I'm trying to get to, is that I enjoyed it enough to decide to spend the cash on the Oculus Quest 2. Since I had a nice discount coupon for an online order at Best Buy and I had just gotten my yearly bonus from my previous job. Also since it was a significant purchase I asked my wife if she would be OK with me spending $400 on a toy.... She said it was fine with her so I made the order. <br /><br />This is turning into an Oculus review, but that will be a different review, so its time to get on with the review of the game, which I finished last night.</p><p>Arizona Sunshine was my first VR game (I'm not counting the demos on the Oculus Go or Beat Saber)</p><p>I had no idea what to expect as it was loading up. (You can buy it on Steam or on the Oculus Quest itself, i bought mine on the Quest)</p><p>So when the game loads up you start in a trailer with a bunch of tapes on the table and a spot to insert them with a screen on the far wall. There is also a purple gun on the table beside the tape deck. These tapes are the different game features such as settings, campaign, horde mode , credits and even the DLC packs have their own tape. </p><p>you can pick up a take by pointing your had at it and clicking the trigger button to grab it. Then you insert it into the tape deck by moving to the deck and clicking the trigger again. It was very neat to reach for things and pick them up with a click. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1JPeMhN9l-5KphC8V0qR4ydNzbiUvTNKoqjnUnghzTiVGdW4xa_hC1_m6-_GTXcVAr7MN8ZzCMQDDb3FQ0XsW9hp4nwFXB7_k2edLGXdrdfcEbRr4TUgqvaMfGWp4XRiC1iIxwvVZFiMs/s900/Az3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="462" data-original-width="900" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1JPeMhN9l-5KphC8V0qR4ydNzbiUvTNKoqjnUnghzTiVGdW4xa_hC1_m6-_GTXcVAr7MN8ZzCMQDDb3FQ0XsW9hp4nwFXB7_k2edLGXdrdfcEbRr4TUgqvaMfGWp4XRiC1iIxwvVZFiMs/w448-h164/Az3.jpg" width="448" /></a></div><br /><p><br /><br />Then with a tape inserted, the screen will show a menu and you then pick up the gun and shoot at the options you want to select. <br /><br />There is an option for having a reticle for aiming or to not have one. I opted for not having one and I loved playing without one. Nothing felt more badass than popping headshots one after another aiming down the sights or just quickly aiming and shooting and hitting your target. </p><p>Though many times I would shoot , miss by a bit and have to re-adjust which felt very real. <br />Many times I would steady my right arm with my left, and then when the magazine was empty I would just quickly swap and steady my left with the right hand to fire my second gun. When you get used to the gunplay in the game it gets very smooth. <br /><br />To reload your gun, you will press the lower button on the face of the controller which ejects the clip, then you tap your hand to your chest where all your ammo is kept. You do the same for any gun in your left hand as well. Ammo you pick up you grab and touch your chest and it will go into your ammo stash. </p><p>Same with grenades. When you look down you will see your ammo count, your grenades and the weapons on your holsters (One on each side) You can carry 4 guns at a time. One in each hand and one on each of your hips. There is a section where you go through a mine and need a flashlight so that leaves you with 3 guns and a flashlight. </p><p>There are about 10 guns in the game and all of them were fun to use, including the sniper rifles later in the game which you cant take with you, instead you find them in a sniper nest, you can pick them up and take out targets at a distance, then leave the gun behind and continue on.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmrQfZOF68OXCXELWE5mC4mPQCAEvqBAv5PlhGoDNhnwz2NzMDKk1vN4rUz3wjs2IrI-HS1UAbMQ6mH3R8LQuRz4lpfTXdoHM8h-nlvM7fdzVU9Eia9pRzbBU0tqvYL4rLTuDLaGsNI-If/s1024/Az4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1024" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmrQfZOF68OXCXELWE5mC4mPQCAEvqBAv5PlhGoDNhnwz2NzMDKk1vN4rUz3wjs2IrI-HS1UAbMQ6mH3R8LQuRz4lpfTXdoHM8h-nlvM7fdzVU9Eia9pRzbBU0tqvYL4rLTuDLaGsNI-If/w454-h180/Az4.png" width="454" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>A bit of a disappointment was the fact that there is no gun recoil when you shoot. <br /><br />As for movement through the game, there are 3 different ways, The first method which I used for most of the game was teleporting. You use your thumbstick on either hand to pick a spot to teleport to and you will go there. From whatever spot you're in you can take a few steps anywhere , you can look in any direction(depending on your play area) and crouch if you want. <br /><br /></p><p>The other option is for smooth movement. Which means you move like in any other video game, using the thumbstick to move forward and back in the direction you are looking or the direction your hand is pointing (changeable in the options)</p><p>This method is what I wanted to use, but it quickly made me dizzy and sick. It also caused me to almost fall over a few times as the sensation of shooting forward while not actually moving was destabilizing at best, and nauseating at worst. </p><p>The third option is one I couldn't try out as it needs an extra accessory. Its called Cyber Shoes. (look it up) From what I have seen , you have something on your feet, and you sit in a chair and move your feet to make your character walk.... I don't know much else about it. </p><p>The graphics in the game are enjoyable but slightly cartoonish (which is perfectly fine) and there is a but of fog after a certain draw distance but the views can be really nice. The zombies that come after you look fine and there is enough variety of them to not get too stale too fast. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLUHmxMVnHwJn4YGOoS9ROryhS90xcodKxZtJjEvH-D8AIh41U8ZfIZW0m2gMBC4tWGnoHW7wQ4flroX-oxQG-cEwnsnVauH2WYbaiob5Q09jXczaNNxztwYyU8Gbt0Mw5f85RFcdda-eA/s800/az6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLUHmxMVnHwJn4YGOoS9ROryhS90xcodKxZtJjEvH-D8AIh41U8ZfIZW0m2gMBC4tWGnoHW7wQ4flroX-oxQG-cEwnsnVauH2WYbaiob5Q09jXczaNNxztwYyU8Gbt0Mw5f85RFcdda-eA/w448-h180/az6.jpg" width="448" /></a></div><br /><p><br /><br />Some will have helmets and body armour so aiming for the head wont kill some of them. IN those cases you take out the legs and pump their bodies full of lead until they die. <br /><br />The first part of the game was very neat. There were objects to pick up and look at. Car doors to open to check the seats for ammo. Car trunks to open, buildings to go into with desk drawers to open for ammo. There is food in the fridge to eat and random cans and items to pick up and throw with no real use. <br /><br /></p><p>There are masks all over the place in this game that you can pick up and put on. Some cool looking ones too and I wore the Jason looking hockey mask from when I got it to the very end of the game. These are just for co-op mode fun from what I can tell as in single player they serve no purpose. </p><p>The gameplay has you making your way through Arizona in search of... well anyone else. You're alone the entire time following a radio broadcast in hopes of meeting up with other people. Along the way you have to find some keys, and levers and find some C4 , but for the most part you're shooting zombies . Sometimes there are a few that you dispatch quite easily out in the open and move on, other times you are in a tight spot and a horde of them are rushing towards you and you have to take them all out before you can move on. </p><p>These are the times you need to have your reloading skills down, and know how to use your grenades. A couple times I would throw a grenade without first pulling the pin. Waiting for the boom, but it never came.</p><p>Speaking of grenades, I dont know if it was just me but I couldn't thrown them very far and sometimes they fell so close to me I had to turn and run so I wouldn't die or take damage from it.</p><p>The character you play talks to himself, and to the zombies so you get some personality to the character you play. He makes quips, shouts emphatically as he gets headshots and mows zombies down. Laments about being alone, questioning what hes doing and why hes bothering.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJaP0LGfXscxM64e65dumrNPURI4BEHHe0cKf3qCvsSnTGXNIk4Mqyd0WW-QsDrqj8OyPzuao1jyxtED_UYI6t63TXPTRqN3MD4WcfbWnJRyEbpd0ueaLIubKxNbwf3u8aj4-vSPJzXo5h/s1280/az7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJaP0LGfXscxM64e65dumrNPURI4BEHHe0cKf3qCvsSnTGXNIk4Mqyd0WW-QsDrqj8OyPzuao1jyxtED_UYI6t63TXPTRqN3MD4WcfbWnJRyEbpd0ueaLIubKxNbwf3u8aj4-vSPJzXo5h/w439-h180/az7.jpg" width="439" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p> Had this been another FPS for steam or consoles, it would be pretty mediocre in all honesty. What makes this game much more, is the VR aspect where you are actually inside the game. You will see a tank 10 feet away from you and its fully 3D and looks like you're sharing the space with the tank. Its not on a screen, its right in front of you. The zombies aren't flat they are your height and can swarm you from all sides and look like they have weight to them <br /><br />You can move your hands around and see all the angles and all sides of the guns or other objects you have in them at the time. You can even toss things in the air and catch them again. You can look around a wall and see whats there without moving your feet. </p><p>You can crouch down to see under tables or to open drawers that are lower to the ground. <br /><br />The game also has 3 DLC packs which are more campaigns, though some are shorter than others and I think all are shorter than the campaign which you can probably beat in 6 hours. <br /><br />Is Arizona sunshine worth picking up if you have a VR set? Definitely. Its a great game to start with to ease you into VR. <br /><br />Is Arizona Sunshine a reason to spend 400 + on a VR headset? No, not just for one game, but there are many , many great games today for VR that make getting a set worth while. There are online multiplayer games , there are ping pong games, Myst is in VR, Half Life Alyx, Doom 3 is coming to VR very soon, Tetris in VR, The Climb, Vader immortal, Watching 3D movies and so much more. VR is just taking off and is only going to get better. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Law212http://www.blogger.com/profile/14874142830400328378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881217702303949447.post-82904868227872274722019-08-03T11:37:00.001-07:002019-08-03T11:37:06.545-07:00Unreal 2: Awakening.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have been trying to play more older games. Some that I have beaten in the past , but mostly ones that I have had for years and never completed. The latest was Unreal 2: Awakening. I have had this game nearly since the day it came out, but for some reason I have only ever finished 2 or 3 missions and not continuing.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what the reasoning would be, maybe I found it boring, maybe too hard, or like some games that I gave up on, having to keep restarting because of losing save files.<br />
<br />
Either way, I grabbed this game from my moms house to bring to my place and finally play through it. I beat the game last night. Luckily this game installed and ran on Windows 10 with no issue. The game did crash to the desktop a handful off times, but otherwise it ran perfectly fine.<br />
<br />
When I first started the game, I was impressed by the visuals. It looked good for a game of its age, but if I was playing it back when it came out I would definitely have been impressed with the graphics.<br />
<br />
I remembered the intro and the first section of the game from when you get your orders, to when you first see your ship and crew members. Aida being the most memorable, mainly for how she looked. Ill post a screen shot below to see for yourself.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGutUqBj84kEehvfABoqPEAeuXLoCBNDzajLv4fMvAhG3QYahHEL1DUffxdCX6cj7zpmZEIpt7s2XjvUVBqf1z4pWy_BGbVi6qsfd0wuQA7-UOABBvImUmWyVha1KBFoV2TTDR_I0prjW-/s1600/19_1_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGutUqBj84kEehvfABoqPEAeuXLoCBNDzajLv4fMvAhG3QYahHEL1DUffxdCX6cj7zpmZEIpt7s2XjvUVBqf1z4pWy_BGbVi6qsfd0wuQA7-UOABBvImUmWyVha1KBFoV2TTDR_I0prjW-/s320/19_1_1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
There are two other crew members. One is a pilot who is a slow speaking, blob in a mechanical body which reminds me of a mix of two aliens from Mass Effect, A volus and some other big alien that speaks similarly to the pilot. Also there is the mechanic who also gets you new weapons and tells you how to use them between missions.<br />
<br />
During the first actual mission something felt off. The game felt slow. Holding the shift key made me walk even slower. I had hoped it would make me speed up. I checked the control options a few times for a run button, but nope, this is as fast as it goes. Which felt like walking compared to most games.<br />
<br />
After getting used to the slower pace, the missions were ok. The enemies were bullet sponges who could do lots of damage to you with just a few good shots. The Skaarj enemies were push overs, but the human enemies with weapons and some enemies later in the game were dangerous to deal with.<br />
<br />
The levels weren't very big or very interesting. I found early on that you have to save often, first because you could get hit with a lucky shot and die and have a lot of ground to cover again, and secondly because you can randomly fall through the map at any moment. This happened at least 2 or 3 times to me.<br />
<br />
This game, the levels, the enemies, the graphics, did not give me the same feeling of awe and wonder and immersion that the first Unreal gave me right from the start. I remember you were a prisoner on a prison ship that crashed on a planet and you escape the ship and are on your own to try to survive. That alone made you want to explore and learn about whats going on.<br />

<br />
<br />
In Unreal 2, the story is about finding some artifacts (seven of them) that when combined can create a powerful weapon. There is some obvious double cross element that your crew tries to warn you about but you dont listen, eventually that ignorant mentality gets your whole crew killed, and leaves you the lone survivor listening to a recording they made for you before they died.... It was a push to make the story emotional , but it fell flat as you the player would not have been so blind as the character you play. Probably anyway.<br />
<br />
Some of the levels were interesting in how you progressed. The later levels against some mechanical enemies has you knock down a bigger enemy and then you have to kill the smaller repair bots before they repair the enemy or youd have to fight it again. Killing it for good opens up the doors it was protecting.<br />
<br />
There is also a neat boss fight at the end of this stage. The game has a few boss fights. None are very hard, but most are pretty fun.<br />
<br />
Some stages had sections where you have to set up some barriers and turrets and protect an area while someone else gets data from a control panel …. I didnt care for these sections, they felt like filler. I think there were 3 of them in the game, maybe 4.<br />

<br />
<br />
The weapon selection was pretty good. There is a good amount and you get more as you play through the game. Some I didnt find useful and never used, like the starting pistol, the gun that shoots spiders and the magnum. The most used were the flamethrower, which I think is the most effective and fun to use flamethrower in any game ive played, the shotgun, the assault rifle, the sniper rifle, the rocket launcher and the grenade launcher.<br />
<br />
Overall, the game was just OK. Im glad I finally finished it , but its not a memorable game or one id want to revisit at any point. Id only recommend the game to anyone who loves older games and likes Unreal and wants to see what the sequel was about. I think there is good reason I never got far in this game when it was new. It doesnt have the appeal that the original game had.Law212http://www.blogger.com/profile/14874142830400328378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881217702303949447.post-59797442332494835572018-01-23T07:53:00.000-08:002018-01-23T07:53:00.493-08:00<div style="text-align: center;">
Injustice 2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Injustice 2 came out on PC on October 25th 2017. It was really advertised and I only knew it was coming because i loaded up steam and saw that the beta was available for download . I missed out on playing it, but I did manage to preorder the game before it released the next day. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I paid for the $120 version because it came with the extra characters along with more to come in the future such as Atom, The Enchantress, Hellboy , and the upcoming Ninja Turtles. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<img alt="Image result for injustice 2 pc release date" height="360" src="https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/injustice-2-gets-a-gameplay-trai.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I think that some games should charge more, since creating games is getting more expensive. So to pay 120 dollars for a fighting game isn't too bad in my opinion. My issue is with games like Street Fighter 5 that release for 80 dollars with barely any game modes that previous games in the series used to have like arcade modes with endings and so on. Then they release character packs for 2/3rds the price of the game (40 dollars each) and additional costumes at around 5 dollars a piece, then SF 5 should have been a free to play game.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Regardless , Injustice just released the base game plus the fighter pass. I do take issue with the way they implemented a grindy game play mechanic to get look boxes (mother boxes) and a slow grind to get crystals to unlock shaders and even alternate outfits that turn a character into a new character. Such as Superman becoming Bizarro Superman.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<img alt="Image result for injustice 2 pc release date" height="358" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT5gWmmzP31qBTuq4JOrL1FSmMzBQ70F-jvitP4FqSJThKr94mAhQ" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You get these crystals at such a slow rate that getting enough for ONE shader will take plenty of time if you refuse to spend even more money on the game. I have probably 60 hours into the game and have ALMOST enough crystals for 2 shader for ONE character. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Its a horrible mechanic that makes the game feel like a cheap mobile game . Almost like a more technical version of the actual mobile version of injustice 2. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With that aside, the game is actually really fun to play. The roster is pretty good and as with most fighting games, people will always wish they added their favourite character. I do miss some that were in the original , like Zod, Zatanna and Batgirl, but the inclusion of Supergirl, Robin and Red Hood make up for missing favourites. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<img alt="Image result for injustice 2 pc release date" height="360" src="https://www.gamereactor.eu/media/grtv/47/314773_w926.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The fighting is just like the first game, where you have a heavy , medium and light attack as well as a power and your grab and switch stance buttons. I dont know what the point of switching stances is. Maybe there is a use for it but I havent found one. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The game is easy enough for new people to pick up and play and get the hang of some simple combos, but you can also learn some more advanced combos that use meter burn and dashing to extend. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Level transitions are back and personally I think they mostly just waste time as you watch a scene with a character flying backwards and smashing into things. It just breaks the flow of the combat.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I also think that like the first game Clashes are more annoying than anything as they also break up the flow of the fight. I do see the strategy in them, you can sacrifice meter to gain a percentage of health back, or to do more damage to an opponent, or you can risk none and let the other character regain health and maybe come back from a losing match, but i still think its a bad mechanic. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<img alt="Related image" height="360" src="https://static5.gamespot.com/uploads/scale_kubrick_large/1365/13658182/3182368-injustice+2_screenshot_2.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Graphically the game looks good. Most of the characters look really good , and there are a lot of different pieces of armour you can equip and change how your character looks, but this was done for the sake of grinding for loot boxes. I prefer the way the first game handled things where you can select what costume you wanted, instead of having loadouts with customized versions of characters.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Online play has been good. Not much lag in my experience but as with most fighting games you will find lots of people who spam one or two moves that tend to frustrate and annoy new players who cant figure out a way around them. In the first game it was deadshot and his guns, in this game I havent seen anything that bad but I do see people trying to spam Supergirl's cross screen uppercut. (like scorpions teleport uppercut from MKX) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I havent finished the story mode yet but what I have played is really good so far. The story of injustice 1 was also really good so Im not surprised this one is so far as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With everything considered, if I were to give a numeric score to the game, I would give it a 7. It loses points for the grindy-ness, and the fact that it isnt much different than the first game. Its a good fighter, but its not anything special. </div>

John Wick Chapter 2</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Hopefully you saw the first John Wick and were as hyped as most people when they heard a sequel was coming. The first movie had some great action , a very simple plot and Keanu Reeves. The sequel has all that as well. The simple plot , Reeves and the action. This time though the action is even more ramped up. <br />
<br />
The first John wick was pretty small in scope. John is a retired assassin who gets back to killing when some young mob boss' son decides he wants to beat him up and take his car and kill his dog. We learn about the assassin hotel called the Continental where we see other assassins as well, but mainly its John tracking the mob. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZXGp-P3s_105If41xvW-BHPMt92UfuG8g4wPu-gfwHYK52W2RrAc6J8xWcPLnlk2B-a9o9tzNEkj7o-lQ66pIU-8R0HoFlUxDqWhKjTCTCarJnz7QENJWaPTKb6WoJtVaE-8QyTlrMwrK/s1600/ewqwe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZXGp-P3s_105If41xvW-BHPMt92UfuG8g4wPu-gfwHYK52W2RrAc6J8xWcPLnlk2B-a9o9tzNEkj7o-lQ66pIU-8R0HoFlUxDqWhKjTCTCarJnz7QENJWaPTKb6WoJtVaE-8QyTlrMwrK/s640/ewqwe.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The sequel though tries to make John's world bigger by showing how widespread this assassin business really is. Homeless people are assassins, people in the subway playing violin are assassins, they are just everywhere. I feel that this was slightly detrimental to the film because with all this it made it feel like this doesn't take place in our world, like the first one could have. <br />
<br />
So, as for the story, why does he go back to killing? Well, apparently he owed some bad guy a debt which was kept track on with a marker. This bad dude wants John to do something for him to pay back the debt which john apparently agreed to in exchange with helping with the impossible task we heard about in the first movie. <br />
<br />
So, john eventually accepts the task and does it. Which leads up to a few great scenes including his killing his mark which was really well done , and then in a great action scene that John Wick is known for. One thing though I did not like. Before John went on his mission he got a bunch of gear including some suits. These suits have some special assassins material woven into it that makes it bullet proof. <br />
<br />
So scenes showing John running from baddies with guns and having bullets bounce off of him made me cringe. I didn't like it. Other than that the actual action in the scene, the way it was shot and the music were all great. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-pwSlgq5gUzHM6LngBLjbyj07SOGmAdMS7_e85zNCLJborhfwkNaXNY2dw0nVhjtyRAp0QdhGoOWYxrU1daRZ8Jz4yODKAoWTb4RgDHIldYyK2-ykGm0jixGqZpMH9MpcK7Qm58HT6iNQ/s1600/john+wick+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-pwSlgq5gUzHM6LngBLjbyj07SOGmAdMS7_e85zNCLJborhfwkNaXNY2dw0nVhjtyRAp0QdhGoOWYxrU1daRZ8Jz4yODKAoWTb4RgDHIldYyK2-ykGm0jixGqZpMH9MpcK7Qm58HT6iNQ/s640/john+wick+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
John fights Common a few times through the movie. These fights were all great and mostly all close quarters fights and very intense. Great hand to hand and close quarters gun and knife fighting between these two which were a nice change from the non stop body shot, headshot of countless mob goons. <br />
<br />
So, John completes his task, but as predicted he gets turned on right away and an open contract is taken out on John that has lots of people out to get him. So John is out to kill the guy who put out the contract and who he once owed a debt marker to. <br />
<br />
Let me go back a bit. The opening of the movie takes place pretty soon after the first movie, and John is looking for his car..... He finds it with the help of John Leguizamo's character making some call. The beginning of this movie is crazy amazing action showing him get his car back which in the process takes so much damage that it barely makes it back to his home and he needs to have it completely repaired . The car doesn't make another appearance in the movie, but I have a feeling it will be back for part 3. Yes , there will be a part 3.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigq6BSYdGmIZlYYebBRhikBX-mnvy06x5FdDziQj2hvdlnvhIXzKngZxtNRcDfdmVZMZXyb6i4dMHhL1SO8-5V0Z1vW3O7T4Cz8CTia7NHVZtLLXABYpSqYpCDUIGq3pVxG0kRfXoNMNl0/s1600/qweqwe.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigq6BSYdGmIZlYYebBRhikBX-mnvy06x5FdDziQj2hvdlnvhIXzKngZxtNRcDfdmVZMZXyb6i4dMHhL1SO8-5V0Z1vW3O7T4Cz8CTia7NHVZtLLXABYpSqYpCDUIGq3pVxG0kRfXoNMNl0/s400/qweqwe.png" width="258" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The action picks up in the third act after a slight slowdown in act 2 where he is getting his gear and so on, but it doesn't let up again once it starts. He kills so many people trying to get to the main guy. And its not so much action that it gets boring, its all entertaining and brutal. <br />
<br />
John though does something that breaks the rules right at the end of the movie, which sets into motion a very intense end sequence that made me want to see John Wick 3 right now. Not an action packed ending, but very intense. The movies leaves John with no friends, no home, no help and nowhere to go. Just one debt marker given to him by the head of the continental. I hope they start on John Wick 3 right away. I cant wait another 3 years.<br />

<br />
This is just a reminder for people that Killer Instinct Season 2 will be free starting tomorrow (January 16th) For Xbox LIVE gold members. <br />
There are 4 seasons total at this point in the game and having half of it free is great. (first season was free a while back)<br />
<br />
The great thing is that you don't need an XBOX ONE to claim the game. You can use an xbox 360, or go the the XBOX.com site to claim the game. Then either you can use this content for the PC version (which I do) or it will be in your digital library for if you ever upgrade to the XBOX ONE system. <br />
<br />
You MUST have XBOX LIVE GOLD to claim this. <br />

ANyway today I'm going to review a game called Bad Ass Babes! <br />
The game is a side scrolling beat em up that features women wearing nothing but their underwear for the most part. <br />

After the intro and a brief description of the story which has to do with an alien invasion , you get to a character select screen and can choose one of two characters to start the game with. As you go through the game and beat bosses, they will join you and you can select them as playable characters from then on in the game. Though some bosses wont join you if you took a certain path through the level. The levels are linear but at points, a girl will show up and if you hit her she shows her boobs and opens a portal which takes you on an alternate path. <br />

The characters are digitized actors and they look good for the most part. Each character has their own combos and special attacks. Special attacks can be done if you have enough green meter built up from collecting green orbs from breaking items or killing enemies. <br />
<br />
Other than the side scrolling beat em up levels there are also side scrolling vehicle levels where you are on a motorcycle and people in cars and vans attack you. I didn't like these levels much because they are boring and its tough to not get hit and lose lives in these levels. Also no matter which character you pick for these levels, the sprite is the same so there really is not point to selecting a character for these parts. <br />

<br />
There are also arcade shooter levels where you control a crosshair and enemies pop up on screen and you have to shoot them before they shoot you. You have a shield button you can hold down so that you don't get shot, and these levels are a decent break from the rest of the game and I liked them.<br />
<br />
The game has gone through some changes in its short life. Some bosses were replaced, then brought back but along with another boss , and enemy locations and frequency of appearing has changed. Through all the changes though the game has been fun to go through. <br />

<br />
The game has flaws. For instance the story telling is horrible. Though the story is supposed to be cheesy so that didn't really bother me, but others might hate the game just for the bad writing and story. <br />

<br />
Some bosses have moves that are near impossible to avoid and you can lose a few lives to this. Usually though once you figure out the pattern these fights get a lot easier. <br />
Some of the sound effects are pretty bad. Like in the shooting levels when you bring up the shield and an enemy shoots it. The ping sound it ridiculous. <br />

<br />
<br />
Those are small issues though and this is a cheap game so for the price and the amount of fun I had with it so far, the small issues are pretty insignificant. <br />
<br />
The music in the game is pretty good. Its upbeat and to me it didn't get repetitive. I actually liked it and felt it didn't overwhelm the sounds in the game or distract me. It was pretty competent and suited the game pretty well. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
This game is 10.99 on steam and I think it was even cheaper when I bought it. Its a fun simple game , but if you're offended by nudity then stay away because it has quite a bit of that. It also have an enemy that flashes you then sends out a giant penis to attack you. <br />

<br />
I personally hope that this game gets a sequel because as cheesy as it is, its actually really fun and I have played through the game quite a few times now. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Gears of War 4 came out on October 11, 2016 and lots of people were hyped up for this game and a lot of those people were also worried that it wouldn't be up to the quality of the previous entries in the series. Gears of War 1 is a classic, and I bought the game 3 times. First on its initial release for the xbox 360, then I bought the windows port and lastly I bought the PC version of the Ultimate Edition. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I loved the game each time and really loved the multiplayer. I didn't like Gears 2 as much. I don't know what it was but I think that for the most part the levels were bland and boring. I didn't even play much of the MP is part 2. Gears 3 though, I really liked. Lots of it was outside with some great looking graphics. They brought in a bunch of new characters and integrated them really well into the story and gameplay. There were enough new features to make the multiplayer fresh, but kept it similar at its core. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lots of Gears of War fans really dislike Judgment though. I personally really like it and still play it online. I thought the campaign was really fun and the multiplayer felt like it could have been a new mode in gears 3 but stood on its own really well. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Now for Gears of War 4 (PC) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There aren't many video games that I get excited over anymore, being 35 I have played many, many games. I have always been excited for this series though. When Gears 3 came out I was at work counting the minutes until I could go home, pick up my copy and go play. Same for this one. The second midnight struck I loaded up the game and went straight into multiplayer. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I felt right at home with this game. It controls just like the previous games but the weapons after some play felt more balanced than previous games. I felt like given the right amount of distance, the lancers were very good against opponents using the gnasher, as opposed to other games where the gnasher would pop heads from far away. All the old weapons are back , including the snub pistol, the boltok, the Hammerburst, the Retro Lancer and the Longshot. There are a bunch of new weapons now as well. The Embar is a new sniper rifle, there is an Overkill which is a crazy powerful shotgun, I think its called the Enforcer, which is like an Uzi, and there are even more weapons to use. Though in Multiplayer the go to weapon is still the gnasher.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All the game modes are in there like Warzone, King of the Hill, Team Death Match, and Guardian, along with new modes Dodgeball and Arms Race. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is customization where you can choose which characters to use in multiplayer and what gun skins to use as well. I find the character choices really lacking compared to the previous games. For the main characters JD, Del and Kait you have their outsider version, their armored version and then you have these weird color blast version where they look like they got nailed by tons of paintballs of different colours , and then they each have a day of the dead skin. Also each main character also has a zombie version...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are skins for Anya. There is a version of her from E-Day, and one called Tomorrow Anya which is her in the outsider looking clothes. There is a male and female V-Day Gear, a male and female E-Day gear, old Baird , old Cole, E-Day Minh and even a zombie Dom.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are a couple others as well from the story but the campaign has young Dom, and it even has Bernie in it as well as a bunch of other characters which would have made great skins for multiplayer. If they don't add them in via DLC then that will be a big missed opportunity. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In my opinion a huge miss step was the decision to have you unlock skins by buying Operations and Elite packs. You can buy them with credits you earn in game from multiplayer matches, or you can buy them for (Canadian) $2.50 for the Operations pack, $6.50 for Elite packs and horde and versus boosters are $1.29</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The coalition made the amount of credits you earn very low. It costs 3,500 credits to get an elite pack but you get about 75 credits per match. It can take a lot of time. And when you get a pack there is no guarantee what is in it. Its random. You can even get doubles. Leveling up doesn't unlock anything, so it doesn't feel like there is much point in the leveling system. I'm not even sure that you get anything when you re-up.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Multiplayer is still really fun though but I just cant get on board with this type of thing in video games. I know companies want to make as much money as possible , but this is the sleaziest way to do it and ruins a great gaming experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The campaign was something I was afraid to start. I didn't want to play it and be disappointed in it so I put it off for a while. I beat it the other night though and was really impressed with it luckily.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let me say though, that the new characters don't have the personality and charisma that the main characters from the previous games had. For the most part I even forgot that Del was even there. I wouldn't call the interactions between characters through the campaign banter because rarely was it witty or fun, it was just talk. "This looks bad." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"yeah, very. Lets keep moving"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Though near the end there was a funny joke about kings and wizards, but I cant think of any other time I enjoyed the dialogue between the three main characters.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The graphics looked great. The weather effects were awesome and I really liked the design of the levels and the pacing of the battles. I was hooked and pretty much played through the campaign in two sittings. I loved it. I was disappointed in the story though. I know they are trying to set up future games, but all the story consisted of was pushing forward to find people. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First, Kait's mom gets taken, so we need to find her. So you go for Marcus for help. He gets taken and you spend a bunch of time trying to get him back. You do, then back to tracking down Kait's mom. Then you call in some help. Baird and Cole show up , you find Kait's mom , game over. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You do learn some stuff , like the locust are back and using people to create more of them. You also learn something I thought was cool and wonder how it will play out later but I wont mention it here, you will have to play the campaign to find out, or watch my gameplay videos on Youtube of the campaign which shows what I'm talking about. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, overall the game is really good. I haven't mentioned Horde mode but its similar to previous Horde modes. Its fun if you have people you know to play with. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You can get a lot of entertainment out of this game, it's just unfortunate that The Coalition decided to go the way they did with unlocking skins. </div>

<br />
OK so a bit about Suicide Squad.<br />
<br />
I'm going to say something that people would probably come to my house and murder me for. Jared Leto's Joker was better than Heath Ledgers.... OMG WTF? well he was.<br />
<br />
He portrayed him more accurately than Heath's version. There was also a great scene showing the relationship between Joker and Harley and there were shots that were straight out of the comics that were superb. We also got to see how joker abused Harley mentally and physically which shaped her into what she became.<br />
<br />
Joker didn't get all that much screen time, but to me that left me wanting more because every time he was on screen you couldn't help but be glued to his performance. It was spot on.<br />
So how about the other characters?<br />
<br />
one complaint I hear is that there were lots of characters with little to no development.<br />
that's true and not true.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdQgLhAf5ZFRuqyrqu4eOeaoAjeUyFiuitZGl0PmUlPNaq0kb5wqkzqMoCPrfUP-F9SKFy16mZEvWb6y7ymyaSZQwrS2rp7uOWLJZuf0H-lL7IiphWexMDzW-PrpV8GiMkHi6KBelD5Zg0/s1600/suicide-squad-will-smith-margot-robbie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdQgLhAf5ZFRuqyrqu4eOeaoAjeUyFiuitZGl0PmUlPNaq0kb5wqkzqMoCPrfUP-F9SKFy16mZEvWb6y7ymyaSZQwrS2rp7uOWLJZuf0H-lL7IiphWexMDzW-PrpV8GiMkHi6KBelD5Zg0/s640/suicide-squad-will-smith-margot-robbie.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Killer Croc had the same kind of intro as the rest but not as in depth. He was just there to be some extra muscle in the group and for the most part was just in the background kicking butt.<br />
Katana? I think her name was, wasn't really apart of the squad, she was part of the government goons there to keep them in line. we hear about how her sword absorbs souls and that the sword was used to kill her husband , and she talks to it on occasion. She did some fighting and such but again was just there.<br />
The fire guy , I forget his name, started out to be just a in the background character but as the movie went on became awesome. we learned that he killed his wife and kids and there was a scene where Harley calls him out and tells him to own that shit because it happened.<br />
He becomes totally badass by the end.<br />
the enchantress wo is the main villain was really cool. the first time the girl transforms into her was so cool.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwzAuVM_3oWWT_pmBkLuK9YGv6E6mVuGGXtLVJbHlJsYT1ETs4yG8HXojD6bTRSzWQFIaMpRY-u-KKMJH4LOsrBeYTaaQtog9gBQoyaHm8POja3Mioepv_pskzqhG8YshFvfo-Rq7e1Akl/s1600/suicide-squad-posters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwzAuVM_3oWWT_pmBkLuK9YGv6E6mVuGGXtLVJbHlJsYT1ETs4yG8HXojD6bTRSzWQFIaMpRY-u-KKMJH4LOsrBeYTaaQtog9gBQoyaHm8POja3Mioepv_pskzqhG8YshFvfo-Rq7e1Akl/s640/suicide-squad-posters.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
then in her enchantress form she moves so oddly that I couldn't stop looking at her. They did a great job with her. She ended up being a really cool character even though the plot and her plan were pretty weak.<br />
<br />
Boomerang was some comedy relief<br />
Slipknot was used by boomerang to test if they really had explosive devices in their neck and he falls for it and gets his head popped right away.<br />
<br />
There were government soldiers with the group and the squad had to listen to one guy in particular who had a relationship with the woman possessed by enchantress and he was there to try to help her. but his character development was pretty good too and he was also just a pawn in the whole thing. It was cool to see that one of his soldiers just gave up his life at his command. Very interesting that DC has the balls to do stuff like this while marvel would have found a way to save everyone.<br />
Now to the main two.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Deadshot. He had a great backstory involving his daughter. she knew he was a bad guy and killed people and that's why they cant live together. but Deadshot really wants to fix that. he shows regret for what he does and in a great scene batman confronts him while he's with is daughter. She convinces him to give up.<br />
<br />
the great thing this film did was show that these characters do bad things. They know it, they own it but they still have morals and regrets and they care about people and sometimes they do the right thing.<br />
<br />
Harley had tons of great moments. She was crazy, she was funny and she was tragic. near the end the enchantress shows them she can give them what they all want, and Harleys vision was really cool but totally impossible but deep in her crazy warped brain that was what she wanted. I wont give that detail away.<br />
<br />
So what else?<br />
<br />
The music throughout the movie was great. <br />
The cinematography was well done with some great action shots.<br />
the biggest badass in the movie was someone who wasn't super powered or in the squad but the person who created the squad.<br />

<br />
<br />
this movie didn't shy away from killing , it didn't shy away from being a dark movie with fun elements and that's why I really like DC movies.<br />
don't forget to stay for the after credits scene which was pretty cool/ Also just watch the credits since they were really fun and colourful.<br />
<br />
<br />
was it perfect? no, is any movie perfect and without flaws? no<br />
but was it entertaining ? definitely. the pacing was tight , the action was great , the characters were spot on and I have no complaints about it. If you nitpick you can find stuff, but that's if you go watch it looking for the flaws.<br />
<br />
if you go in to enjoy a movie about DC characters then you will love this film.<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>Law212http://www.blogger.com/profile/14874142830400328378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881217702303949447.post-29997607537697536282016-06-25T12:44:00.001-07:002016-06-25T12:44:24.704-07:00<div style="text-align: center;">

I have never finished a Max Payne game even though I have owned them all for years. I think I got the first two in a steam dale package for about five dollars and I picked up Max Payne 3 on sale on steam for about 10. I have tried to play through the first game and for one reason or another I gave up and never went back to it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Same goes for the third game. I started playing it and never finished and never went back to it until now. I did play quite a bit of the multiplayer though when it was still populated and it was pretty decent. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I never even started up Max Payne 2 , but some parts of the third game make me want to go and play the previous ones through to get the references. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I just had an unexplainable urge to play Max Payne 3 again, so I started it up and this time started the campaign on hard. I'm glad I did because this game is incredible. It has graphics that hold up against many of todays games, it has great voice acting by the entire cast and it also has great motion capture.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It does a lot of other things really well too. One thing I really love and don't get tired of are the deaths. When you kill someone ( and you kill thousands of people) they stumble and react in different ways. One guy I shot in a cemetery, grabbed his wound then stumbled sideways. There was a tombstone in front of him which he put his hands on to brace himself as he fell and it was incredibly realistic. There were many more times where I was in awe at how enemies reacted to being shot and killed. I cant think of another game that does it this well. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This game is very cinematic and the narration from the voice actor playing Max is great. He reminisces about his experience as you play through it giving insight into his thoughts at the time of the events , and you can come across clues in the missions that add more voice overs about the situation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The camera moves around the characters and camera effects quickly flash around which puts you into Max's drug and alcohol induced state of mind. Really, the entire time you're playing as Max, he's drunk and on lots of pain killers so he is never fully focused and clear headed. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are moments when you kill the last of a group of bad guys and the camera will pull in to a cool shot of Max firing his gun, then you will see the bullets in slow motion tearing through the last enemy and you can stop firing , or keep unloading while the camera moves to show the poor guy get ripped apart by your bullets. It's so fun to see and very satisfying. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The story is actually interesting and keeps you invested by making all the characters engaging. It starts off as a simple story about going after a girl who gets abducted on your watch. It slowly twists into something more with Max being a pawn in a bigger scheme.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The story goes back and forth between the present and the past which was pretty neat. You get to see old style Max with his classic trench coat and full head of hair, to him bald with a full beard wearing a bright shirt with palm trees and parrots on it.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The gameplay is top notch. The basic gunplay is really fun and there are lots of weapons to use. Handguns, sniper rifles, assault rifles, shotguns and grenade launchers. Also, each level has 2 golden guns you can find. Each gun has 3 pieces you need to find and when you do you unlock the golden gun which I assume is more powerful but it doesn't really say. The gold guns also look cooler.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On top of the basic gunplay you have the bullet time. When you press the bullet time button, time slows and you can take out a bunch of enemies before they have a chance to do much. It helps when you are outnumbered and you need to get up from cover to take the group out. Without bullet time they would mow you down quick but with it you can aim and kill them before they do that .</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Also, if you dive , time will slow down and you can fly through the air and pick off baddies in a really cool looking way before you hit the ground and time goes back to normal speed. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The music in the game is very intense and keeps with the mood of the situation at all times. I really enjoyed the music in the game and stopped a few times as I realized just how tense I was feeling about what was happening in the game. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hard mode is definitely hard, and I had to replay certain sections over many many times because of how hard it can be when you are outnumbered, only have so much ammo and health and your survival relies on how good you are at headshots and if luck is on your side. I saw the death of Max too many times to count. It did get frustrating but beating those sections felt very rewarding. </div>

Yes, this game is old, the game came out in 2012, but I personally don't feel the need to purchase every new game that comes out for 80 dollars. I am more selective on new games, but there are always steam sales and even just going through your backlog of game when you're bored and don't know what to play. That's pretty much what brought me to playing through Max Payne 3. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I recommend this game. If you want a great shooter to play through and you have never played this one, then go try it out. Its always on sale on steam and its worth what you'll pay for it. It has great production value and I didn't run into any game breaking bugs and you will have a ton of fun with it. </div>

</div>
out now. Do you need the new call of duty or assassins creed at 80 bucks a pop? I say wait for those games to come down in price or go on sale on steam and in the meantime go to your backlog and finish an old gem of a game that you might have overlooked.</div>

What does that mean? I have no idea, but the last part "chaos" really does fit the game. I did play another Onechanbara game for the Xbox 360 and that one was subtitles "bikini samurai squad" It was about female characters in bikinis killing zombies and it was pretty fun. I also came across a live action movie based on these characters but I never watched it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This one is similar. You have the same 2 main characters Aya and Saki, but this time they are joined by another set of sisters Kagura and saaya. There might have been some kind of story to the game, but I didn't pick up much between the boob jokes and hints of lesbianism in the dialogue between characters. </div>

The gameplay however had me hooked on the game and I played through the story on normal and I have beaten all the missions on normal so far and jumped into hard mode. The game plays similarly to Bayonetta, though the fight system isn't as in depth as that one, but it is good enough to keep you learning new moves and having a good time annihilating monsters throughout the levels of the game. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can switch between all 4 characters on the fly which leads to some cool combos where you start a combo with one character then switch to the next to have her finish the combo. Also, you can call in the other girls to fight alongside you which is neat because of how much chaos happens on screen when you have all 4 girls battling it out against hordes of monsters. It's really cool and part of me thinks they missed an opportunity for co-op play here. </div>

<div>
Each character can build up a meter and use that to unleash a special powerful attack that can deal a lot of damage to enemies in a large area , or that meter can be used to tag in the other girls for the all out carnage I talked about. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The two sisters Kagura and Saaya have an ability to change into powerful beasts as well which look really cool and deal a lot of damage. Aya and Saki get this ability near the end of the game, but you can carry that ability over to a new game and have it right from the start.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are regular combos, there are COOL combos which involve you hitting the button for the next attack and the right moment, there are partner combos and so on. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can also learn new combos for each girl by spending orbs, which are dropped when you kill enemies. </div>
<div>

Along with new combos, you can spend orbs on new weapons and rings. Weapons are specific to each girl, but rings can be worn by anyone though only one girl can wear a particular ring so if she has it on no one else can have it. Each character can wear 3 rings at a time. Rings give you bonuses such as causing more orbs to drop meaning more currency to upgrade with, or another ring gives you more attack power and so on. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you tear through enemies, your weapon gets blood and guts on it and there is a gauge on the screen showing how bloody your sword it. The more on it, the less damage you do so you have to hit the shoulder button to have your character clean it off so that your weapon does full damage again. </div>

This serves two purposes. First, just a fight mechanic to keep your eye on and second, because there are quests. And one quest wants you to do a 500 hit combo 30 times. So if you do this while your sword is fully coated and doing little damage , then you can rack up the hits on surrounding enemies without killing them, letting you get those 500 hits in. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are other "quests" such as defeating a large number of bosses, or beating level section without taking damage. These quests are what unlock art illustrations for you to view.</div>

There are 16 chapters to play through and each level is neither too long or too short and they throw in boss battles at the right times to keep you on your toes. Finishing a boss is pretty neat since you have to use QTE movements with the directional pad. I know, I know, most of you hate QTE's but this time it adds to feeling like you're actually slicing the boss apart with your sword. I don't know if you can fail the QTE because I never did even with presing the wrong direction accidently once or twice. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The campaign was fun to play through and after normal , there is hard and then I think 3 more difficulties after that. I unlocked a new outfit that any of the characters can use. Speaking of outfits, as you play mission mode you unlock new items that you can put on your characters as you beat each mission.</div>

Missions are pretty fun. The normal missions were mostly easy enough with some harder ones that took more time near the end. They consist of killing a set amount of enemies, or you can only hurt enemies using COOL Combos or only using secondary weapons. After each mission you unlock another wearable item and some of them are pretty cool. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are 20 missions for normal and I'm guessing 20 for Hard as well, each unlocking new items.</div>
<div>
You can dress your characters as skimpy or as covered as you want, that's up to you. </div>

There is a good amount of replayability to this game and with all the unlockable content , which also features illustrations (game art) the price of this game was a steal. This game might not be for everyone because of the TNA or just the playstyle of the game, but if you're like myself who plays a wide range of games and doesn't get wierded out because of digital female bodies then you might have a lot of fun with the game.</div>
<div>

This game was initially released on PS4 and was ported to PC not long ago. I bought the game instantly when I saw it was on steam for a couple reasons. First, the first game I played on the xbox 360 was really fun and second, I want more of these developers to bring their games to steam as well.</div>

<div>
The price tag was about $30 dollars which also helped. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Being a PS4 port the graphics are pretty decent, but don't expect anything spectacular as the characters look like expressionless plastic dolls at times and background textures and enemy textures can look pretty dull and low resolution. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The animation though is pretty good. The girls move fluidly and not stiff or clunky which was nice, and the best part is that the game runs very smooth. I had it constantly at 60 FPS and I never ran into a hitch with this port.</div>

<div>
Though, some people on steam had issues with crashes, but apparently there was a patch that resolved the issue.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, to reiterate, this game is tons of fun and you should definitely give it a try if you like beat-em ups and hack and slash Bayonetta type games. I thoroughly enjoyed it and still have a few playthroughs to do before I'm done with it.</div>

This game has been out for a while now and I bought it maybe a month ago now for 39.99. At that price point I was willing to give it a shot even though I heard that there isn't too much content in the base game and like most games today, you need to shell out another $60 bucks for a season pass to get more padding to feel like a complete game. <br />

Well, at $40 bucks I didn't feel ripped off. The game is tons of fun if you're a Star Wars fan and or a fan of Dice shooters like the Battlefield series which I am a fan. <br />
<br />
If you were still on the fence at $40 bucks, then maybe give it a shot now since it is $20 bucks on Origin. There are always full servers and people always use the chat and help out new players when you ask questions. <br />

<br />
Personally I plan to get the season pass, but not before it drops to $20 dollars, which is what I did for Battlefield Hardline. I just cant justify spending all this money on a game then the same amount for a season pass. Some people defend this by saying that it costs a lot of money to develop this content, but you can definitely tell when a game feels lacking for the price tag and then content that seems like it was cut out gets added with the season pass. <br />

<br />
The way you get to pilot those vehicles is by grabbing a pick up in the level. Then you can choose to activate it or not. Flying can be tough but rewarding when you get the hang of it. <br />
<br />
Piloting the walkers is really fun as well and easier than flying. The other cool pick up in the game is the hero pick up. When you get one and activate it you can choose a hero to use. The empire has heroes like Darth Vader, Palpatine and Boba Fett, while the Rebels have Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia. <br />

<br />
<br />
Heroes have more health and have special abilities they can use to wreak havoc on the enemy team. Darth Vader for example can throw his light saber, force choke people or just slice his way through lots of troops in no time.<br />
<br />
Star wars isn't known for having a ton of different weapons. In the movies you have the storm troopers all using the same blaster , and Han has his blaster and there isn't much in the way of handheld weapons. This game has a lot of different blasters to use and they have different uses. Some are great from far away , some are close combat blasters and they sound different but they can feel the same as they all fire out the same red laser blast. There are definitely some overpowered blasters in the game though most of which you need to buy in the season pass which can be frustrating when you keep getting killed by the same two players on the other team who have the season pass and these overpowered weapons. <br />

<br />
<br />
The game is surprisingly team oriented. If you stick with your team you are far more likely to take out enemies and take over objectives. If you try to go solo you will die a lot. I usually play freelance and take off to wherever my team would need me more. I might help out people taking an objective, or try to flank the enemy who are trying to take an objective from my team. <br />
<br />
<br />
No matter how you decide to play though you will have a fun time. This game is definitely not boring. <br />

Bombshell</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A friend posted an early video of Bombshell quite some time before the game came out and I didn't think much of it when I saw it. Mainly because it didn't show much except for the character. This is the trailer if you don't remember.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This game was developed by a small team who took over the 3D Realms title and apparently this was supposed to be a Duke Nukem game, but because of rights issues they couldn't use Duke. So instead, they made a new character, Bombshell. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So how did the game turn out? Well that depends on who plays it. This game isn't for everyone. There are people who will only play AAA titles and will only play games that get rave reviews from every major review site. I'm not one of those people. I feel that games like Call of Duty are terrible, but they get great reviews every time while being nothing more than rehashes of all the previous titles.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bombshell on the other hand didn't have the budget or manpower that other games get. To me, that's not a bad thing though. The game has its share of bugs but other games that had huge budgets had more and worse bugs than this game had. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The game did crash to desktop a few times, once at the final boss and other times through the campaign. There were also graphical glitches including some enemies bodies stretching when killed , animations for executions not being animated properly and having a trail of Ky (currency) trail me for a while instead of disappearing when picked up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The game also wouldn't load my campaign at one point until I went to settings and turned everything down to low. Then It loaded and I turned up the graphics again and the problem didn't happen again.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The other major glitch that was pretty frustrating was late in the game. I had to collect 4 crystals but the very first one wouldn't register as being picked up so I couldn't complete the level. It took a couple level restarts to get it to fix itself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Aside from the crashes and crystal glitch, I had a good time playing through this game. I actually wanted to keep playing and that's not a feeling too many games give me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Voice acting from the main characters ranged from good to OK. Bombshell's voice acting was well done, while the main enemy, Shelly's (Bombshell's) (spoiler warning) sister was ok and so was the colonel's) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The random soldiers you come across in the game though had some atrocious voice acting and I couldn't tell if it was done that badly on purpose or they just ran out of money to do a decent job. Once NPC almost made me fall asleep with his really tired sounding voice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I enjoyed the graphics in the game. The enemies looked neat and there was a good variety of them and I like that as you progress through the game's levels you go up against more variety and different weapons are more effective against certain enemies. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The weapons were really cool as well. There are standard action game weapons such as a rocket launcher, shotgun, machine gun, and flamethrower, but there are also some less standard ones like a weapon that shoots out a wave that blows up mechanical enemies. Each gun also has a secondary function. The shotgun for example shoots out a charge that freezes mech enemies for a short time.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I enjoyed all the weapons in the game. Though the one I used the least was the Amiga, which is Bombshell's AI arm and when you use it , it separates from her body and becomes a spiderlike robot that can shoot at enemies and can get into places that Shelly can't.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The level design was interesting for the most part. Lots of it looks similar, but there were sections that looked impressive. I found myself wanting to explore as much as I could. It paid off because there is at least one weapon that you can miss if you don't find the parts to it. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You level up as you kill enemies and complete secondary and primary objectives. When you level up you get points that you can spend on upgrading your health, energy, and shield. You can also upgrade your dash, punch and bubble shield abilities. The higher your level , the more you can upgrade your weapons. You upgrade weapons by spending Ky which is the game's currency which you find around the levels or by killing enemies. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is a good mix of action and puzzle solving/exploring. There are times when a ton of enemies will surround you and things can get very hectic. I have killed myself too many times trying to use my bombs on them and blowing myself up in the process and I have been killed just by being overwhelmed and had my health drop to zero from being attacked from all sides. </div>

Some enemies can be executed. You will see them kneel and above them there will be a prompt to do an execution. These are pretty cool but after you've seen them all you might want to avoid doing them but you do get extra XP when you do an execution. Some of the execution animations are bugged. In one, shelly takes a bomb and shoves it into the enemies mouth. Though the bomb doesn't move with her hand , so it floats in the air while the rest of the animation playes out. There was also a bugged animation where she takes the enemies shotgun and used it on the enemy.</div>

There are a few boss fights, but I found them to be pretty easy. They were still fun, but the only reason I died in the first one was because I fell in a hole. I also would have beaten the final boss the first time had the game not crashed. I will see though if the boss fights are more challenging on the harder game mode. </div>

The game pokes fun at its own story and how ridiculous it is. I wasn't paying too much attention to the story this time around but it had something to do with the bad guy trying to turn everyone into a machine hybrid, and something about finding out who your sister and father are.</div>

I found myself really enjoying the music in the game. When things got hectic the music would change to something faster and more exciting. It was definitely a good soundtrack.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Bombshell also references other video game characters like Lara Croft, and I even came across the corpse of another 3D Realms character that I used to love when I was a kid. I played all the games he was in and was a bit sad to see how he ended up. </div>

Those things didn't detract from the game for me at all though. One thing I liked were parts in the game where you will come across a mounted turrent. If you hold the aim button down time slows down and you can mow down a ton of enemies in bloody slow motion. It seems pointless but it was fun each time I did it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Bombshell herself looks cool. In my opinion. I know that on certain forums there were complaints about her looks but you have to take that with a grain of salt because on the internet people say some ridiculous things. She has changed from the announcement trailer though. She is more covered up and her hair isn't black and the side of her head isn't shaved.</div>

Also, in the trailer she takes a shotgun with her but in the game her arm turns into one so she doesn't need to take one with her. Steam says that I played the game for 11 hours. I think that was a good amount of time and I enjoyed most of it. </div>

There was free DLC released for the game in the form of challenge missions which I haven't spent much time at all with but I might at some point. I also want to do an new game + and try a harder difficulty. I also heard that the game is getting a prequel which will be an FPS game. That sounds interesting to me and I'd definitely want to play it. </div>

I hope that enough people supported this game that the developers end up making a sequel. I would recommend this game to people who like old school games and shooting and blowing up lots of stuff. I had fun with the game and that's more than I can say for a lot of big budget titles that are riddled with microtransactions and feel incomplete without the map packs they put out for extra cash.</div>

I have played a lot of Gears of War. When I first saw gameplay footage of Gears multiplayer I was floored. It looked incredible, and when it came out it turned out it actually was incredible. I had never played a game like it before. The chainsaw making chunks of beef out of other players was amazing and so fun to watch. The curb stomp was such an F-U to whoever you did it to and made you feel badass. <br />

I played quite a lot, but not as much as those people who got the Seriously achievement , but for an average gamer, I put in some serious hours. The game was also released on PC and I didn't get that for quite a few years later, mainly because I could never find a copy of the game. I finally did years later, but by that time online multiplayer was long dead. Also, to this day you need a patch for the game after you install it, and finding that patch isn't easy. Without it, the game things youre running a modified version of the EXE file and wont start. <br />

(Ultimate VS Original)<br />
<br />
Anyway, MS released Ultimate Edition for Xbox One in August of 2015. The PC version came out recently in 2016. There were reports of the game not running well on release. I wouldn't know about that because I picked it up more recently. Also people complain that the game only runs in Windows 10 and can only be bought through the Microsoft Online Store. <br />

If you're wearing a tinfoil had and cursing Windows 10 for trying to spy on you and sell your data , just read this because I don't want to do a write-up about it. <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/article/no-microsoft-is-not-spying-on-you-with-windows-10/" target="_blank">Read This</a><br />
<br />
MS is offering Windows 10 free to anyone with a valid windows 7 or 8 Key. I suggest taking them up on the offer since its their most solid OS so far and really runs fast. <br />

Back to the game. The Ultimate Edition has enhanced graphics (uses Direct X 12) and has the extra mission from the original PC version. The game also features the same terrible AI that the original had. During the campaign in act 1 there is a section where you break off to either the left or right and I chose left. So me and Carmine went that way while Dom and Ming went right. On my path I had a Troika blocking me so I had to wait for the AI buddies to flank and take out the gunner. They refused to though. They stood in the room beside the gunner and wouldn't do anything. I went to check on Carmine and he was a few rooms back in a doorway spinning. <br />

<br />
So I had to reload and choose the right path. The campaign also doesn't seem to run as smooth as the multiplayer. Campaign seems stuck at 30 Frames Per Second while MP feels like a much smoother 60. I hope that gets fixed. Also campaign has texture issues. Some don't seem to fully load , so some textures will look great and others will look terrible. <br />

Movement is the exact same. You are pretty much moving your stiff tank around the levels by roadie running and wall bouncing. Its not very fluid but its just like you remember and once you get used to it its second nature. <br />
<br />
The sound effects seem a bit weak to me. Especially the shotgun blast sound effect. Also the chainsaw rev is so weak sometimes I cant tell if its revving or not. <br />

The cutscenes have been redone and look great. They also changed up the look of a couple characters. Most notable are Hoffman and Anya. As for how the game runs... I run it on high settings and I'm using a GTX 660 Ti and on those settings it runs great. I can't turn it up to Ultra settings though but I will be upgrading to a 970 or 980 to keep up with newer games.<br />

<br />
On High though, the game runs smooth and I haven't noticed any stuttering or slowdown. <br />
<br />
Multiplayer is fun. It felt great to jump back in to Gears 1 MP. As I said the MP runs really smooth and is back to the 4 on 4 gameplay. It also has more characters than the original game did. This one features characters from Gears 3 and because of the addition , you will miss characters that didn't get added. Like Kai and Bernie.<br />

You do get to play as Anya and Jace and even thrashball Cole and thrashball locust. There are also a variety of gun skins to use. Most characters are unlocked from the start but others are unlocked by leveling up.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I have only been able to play one game type. Team Deathmatch. No other modes seem to have players in them which is a shame.<br />
<br />
If you love Gears of War and want to play gears 1 style multiplayer again with added bonuses then you wont really go wrong with the low player base exception. <br />

If you have been there and done that and don't care for playing the campaign again and or aren't a big fan of the multiplayer, then pass on this game completely There isn't enough new content to make this game feel fresh. I personally enjoy both aspects and also wanted to support the game in hopes of seeing a Gears of War 4 PC release.<br />
<br />
To end things off here is some multiplayer video and the first ten minutes of campaign from both ultimate and original.<br />

Yes, this game came out in 2011 but I personally love going back and playing older games because there are lots of hidden gems out there. This game definitely flew under the radar for most people because it wasn't a triple A title. The game also store some game play mechanics from Gears of War like the Roadie Run, the movement and cover mechanic.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Does that really matter? No, because the game is fun and isn't a Gears clone. To me, it's two types of games in one depending on which character you choose to play as. Hunted has two main characters to play as: Caddoc, who uses a sword and shield to hack and slash his way through the game, and E'lara, an elf who uses a bow and arrow to stay back and snipe enemies from a distance while Caddoc acts as the tank. </div>

Which each character specializes in different weapons, they can still use the other weapon though not nearly as well. For example, Caddoc can switch to a crossbow if you want to take out enemies out of reach, or to shoot objects that will trigger the finding of a secret area. He cant however upgrade to better ranged weapons. E'lara can switch to a sword and shield when enemies get too close , but she isn't a heavy hitter so she needs to deal with an enemy fast then get back to a distance to start sniping again. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Both characters can also use magic. E'lara upgrade to use magical arrows. Some that freeze opponents and arrows that break enemy armour. Caddoc has magic that can do area effects to hurt enemies. They both also have spells like fireballs and electric bolts. If you hold down certain spells though, you will hit your ally with the magic and make them stronger for a short time. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are lots of weapons for each character to upgrade to. Weapons get stronger stats and some even also have a magical damage boost that only lasts a certain amount of strikes. You can also pick up stronger more durable shields and even better pieces of armour. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The two characters have some pretty entertaining banter throughout the game. At one point I sprinted too long as Caddoc and he stopped and said "I need to rest for a minute" E'lara chimed in calling him old and telling him to keep moving, though I don't remember how she said it she made it pretty funny.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are lots of secret areas and special weapons to find in the game if you do a bit of exploring and puzzle solving. Mostly though the levels are pretty linear. </div>

Graphically the game looks good. Not great, but good. enemies come in a good variety and while you fight the same bosses over and over, they can be fun to take on. Gold in the game that you pick up only serve to unlock items in the Forge, where you can design your own stages. </div>
<div>

<div>
This game was published by Bethesda but developed by InXile. The game had 4 different DLC packs and each one could only be obtained by buying the game from 4 different retailers. This is a terrible move that other games have done in the past. I recall that Gears of War 3 did the same thing. As for Hunted, the DLC was also tied to your save game and was activated by signing into your GameSpy account. The problem other than having to buy the game 4 times for all the DLC, is that if you lose your save game you also lose your DLC. And now that GameSpy is no more, you cant redeem the DLC anymore.</div>

Luckily, people have put out save game files for everyone to download that have all the DLC. Good thing too other wise that DLC would be lost forever. For those who want to play the game with the DLC here is a link to the download.</div>

If you want the DLC but want to start fresh make sure you select save slot 2 and start a new game.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The DLC is a couple new weapons, some new armour and two character skins to replace Caddoc and E'lara. The Seraphine skin is cool to use IMO because you get to be the mysterious character that is played by Xena herself Lucy Lawless.</div>

There are 4 different endings for the game. Two for each character. The good ending and the bad ending. It is defintely worthwile to play through thei game multiple times. You get better and better gear going through the game again, and its fun to do one playthrough fully as each character even though you can switch between the two at certain spots throughout the game.</div>

I would suggest playing this game as its really fun for a hack and slash/sniping game. I know it wont get a sequel but I would welcome one and buy it if they fixed issues like the tanklike controls, the few glitches that keep you from progressing and little graphical glitches here and there. </div>

I never got to try this game in co op mode unfortunately but maybe ill try it with the new NVIDIA experience beta share feature. Anyway, as you can tell I really like this game and if your not a triple A game snob you might like this one as well.<br />

The Witcher 2</div>

<br />
The Witcher was a game that took me a couple tried to get into. It had a fighting system that took getting used to and not using the right enhancements and oils before a fight could make some fights near impossible to beat. Once I figured out the game though I absolutely loved it. I took time to look for crafting materials to make better blade coatings, to make better armour and potions. <br />
<br />
The Witcher 2 changed the fighting system for the better I think. Instead of clicking the mouse then waiting for the prompt to click again to complete combos, you have a light attack and a heavy attack. You can block and parry as well. Another button will use one of your spells and another button will throw whatever other object you have selected. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
You can easily switch between spells and throwable objects by holding the control button. Time will slow down while you select which spell to use and whether to use throwable daggers, bombs or drop a trap. Its pretty easy to use overall.<br />
<br />
Like the first game, if you don't take time to do side quests to level up and upgrade your character, and if you don't take time to get better crafting materials to have people craft better amour and weapons for you then you will find lots of the battles pretty tough. <br />

<br />
There are lots of returning characters and plenty of new ones to help flesh out the story and to tag along with Geralt to help him recover his memory. There is a part in the game where you are to make a decision about which direction to take in the story. I chose the path of following after Triss because to me it seemed more appropriate for the story, however I made a save before the option so I can go back and play through the section I miss for making the other choice. <br />
<br />
In this game, Geralt is on the trail of a Kingslayer to clear his name after people accuse him of killing the King he failed to protect early in the game. Like the first game there are politics, personal relationships, side quests and lots of monster slaying. <br />

<br />
<br />
The graphics have taken a nice upgrade as everything has great detail from castle walls, to the water, sky and characters. The different weapons you use like the steel sword and the silver swords as well as the different armours all have different and distinct looks to them.<br />
<br />
Another thing the game has going for it is choice. There are many times where you choose how to solve an issue. Will you kill a troll that is causing trouble for the town or will you listen to people who sympathize with it and help the troll out so that he goes back to maintaining his bridge?<br />

<br />
<br />
Will you side with the elves or with the humans? Will you kill the kingslayer or let him go on his way because you understand his reasons for what he did? <br />
<br />
You get lots of choice in this game and you really can play it how you want. If you're wondering if you should play this game before starting The Witcher 3, I would personally say "yes" you should. I would even recommend playing through the first game as well because you will get a greater sense of the characters and the world that you are spending all this time in. Its very immersive. <br />

CD Project Red delivered a great sequel, and they even delivered another enhanced edition for free, and its a game you can pick up on sale frequently for $5 or less. I'm looking forward to using my Witcher 2 save game and starting the Witcher 3. <br />

<br />
So, the Doom beta came out today on steam. I think the game had an alpha at some point but I never knew about it. I saw that my steam library had the Doom beta so I downloaded it. The trailers for the game looked amazing. Awesome graphics, with cool gore and it looked to me like classic Doom gameplay mixed with today's graphics.<br />
<br />
I thought I would play for about an hour, but I think I ended up playing for 3 or so.... It was pretty addictive. The beta has 2 maps, and a bunch of customizations to unlock for your space marine with different helmets, and other pieces of armour. You can also get different patterns and colours for it as well. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkwy5DRvtgSCkCPdCPO57t6lqj-W8SoivPXviKXkO07bNAJvHWAyVgDUHYg_I3O8oaN6BbybUIyiOLh4cBZgtLyzmB_jgSAKFbth5d3YyocgeQPwN78yPqfB-TeRH6-ak5EkUHIDCad6JO/s1600/DOOMx64+2016-04-01+2_25_29+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkwy5DRvtgSCkCPdCPO57t6lqj-W8SoivPXviKXkO07bNAJvHWAyVgDUHYg_I3O8oaN6BbybUIyiOLh4cBZgtLyzmB_jgSAKFbth5d3YyocgeQPwN78yPqfB-TeRH6-ak5EkUHIDCad6JO/s640/DOOMx64+2016-04-01+2_25_29+AM.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
There are unlockable custom loadout slots and weapons to unlock though you can only take two weapons into battle with you at a time unlike the old Doom and even Doom 3, where you could carry the game's whole arsenal in some magic pocket and switch between them all on the fly. The weapons can also be visually customized with different patters and colours as well as with a slider to adjust the amount of rust and wear on the gun. Those features are actually pretty cool and you can come up with some neat looking sets.<br />
<br />
I only played Team Deathmatch but there were 3 modes total. TDM is just like in any other FPS game, but its a good jumping in point to get a good feel for the game. The game doesn't have regenerating health, so you will need to find health and armour pickups on the map to stay alive and you will need to pick up ammo boxes so that you don't find yourself against a group of enemies and nothing to shoot at them. Though you could resort to the melee attack, but unless your enemy is near death, it wont do much. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX9GdOy1H97o3CCJhWUsuhF53MoVumq7NfdQ3yZ5aBqVV7aiGrR7RdY7nfMngxJUIQ-pFzn1kKHd2MNB0dLaxjRRCrOt_-YnV88B3ubvgSwotVsggqugmAAsx5E1PpG-YBFYzQp5g7H4tM/s1600/DOOMx64+2016-04-01+1_03_05+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX9GdOy1H97o3CCJhWUsuhF53MoVumq7NfdQ3yZ5aBqVV7aiGrR7RdY7nfMngxJUIQ-pFzn1kKHd2MNB0dLaxjRRCrOt_-YnV88B3ubvgSwotVsggqugmAAsx5E1PpG-YBFYzQp5g7H4tM/s640/DOOMx64+2016-04-01+1_03_05+AM.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
If you catch an opened at 10 percent or less health and perform a melee attack on them, you will perform a "glory" kill which is a small animation of you doing a cool finishing move on your enemy. It's actually pretty neat and very satisfying to pull off. <br />
<br />
At some point in the match a power up will show up on the map and the first person to grab it turns into a monster from hell. When you are the monster you are more powerful and can rack up a nice amount of kills for you team. The other team really needs to work together to take you down, and if they do its not that hard to take the monster down because he only has 3 times the amount of health as a regular character. It's a pretty neat gameplay mechanic which spices up a match. <br />
<br />

<br />
I had a blast playing the beta so far, and look forward to playing more, but I'm wondering if its enough to pay $80 dollars for. Depends on what content comes with the game. If there are lots of maps and a really solid campaign then I will buy it for sure. Also it looks like there will be lots of customization and wont have all the micro-transaction BS that lots of games like Halo 5 and Mass Effect have.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
With so many games coming out, and lots of games being disappointing these days I will need to do more research before dropping almost 100 dollars on a game. I'm not into the trend of micro-transactions and season passes and DLC packs. It makes me feel like a slave to rich companies when I end up buying DLC packs for games I already blew a bunch of money on. <br />

Not too long ago on this blog I posted a review for Mortal Kombat X on PC and it was a positive review. That wont change because the game as it is now is pretty solid and still really fun to play. Though not everyone is having luck with running the game. <br />
<br />
The game had a rocky launch. First of all some genius decided that the game should download in 29 separate chunks.....So some people would find that they all would not download correctly leaving the game running glitchy because of missing chunks of the game. <br />
<br />
The big controversy with the game right now though, is that Ed and company (Netherrealm Studios and Warner Bros ) have essentially dropped support for the game on PC by not bringing Kombat Pack 2, or the new net code. <br />
<br />
Technically, they are allowed to do this as it's in the User Agreement for the software. This however is a terrible precedent to set for gaming developers. To leave a big chunk of your fans behind with not so much as a reason or explanation that might help PC gamers understand why this was done. Instead, Ed and gang ghosted us. That's a dating term for when you stop all contact with someone you went on a date with. They might call or text asking what's going on, but you instead of manning up and letting the person down, just take the cowards way out and ignore and avoid the person so that you don't have to explain yourself. <br />

<br />
<br />
The cowards way is the way Ed has chosen to take on this situation. Though lately he has been getting bold and trolling PC gamers with his "500,000" tweet. Gamers know this is the number give or take , of MKX copies sold on PC. The next day he posted that that was the amount of prize money to be given away at the next ESL tourney..... Good job Ed, you are solidifying your place in PC gaming history as the biggest douchebag in history. <br />
<br />
No one is 100 percent sure who to blame for the drop of support. Some say Ed himself, others say Netherrealm Studios and some will say Warner Bros. Though WB had another PC game disaster with Batman Arkham Knight. The game was removed from steam for a while , then brought back with patches and more patches and more patches. They even gave us free DLC and all previous batman games for free to try to make up for the disaster. <br />
<br />
The game got all DLC and still gets patches and support. MKX on the other hand, just got dropped.<br />
Some say Ed blames PC gamers for whining about how badly optimised MKX was..... As if that is the fault of the gamers.....Seems like Ed cant take responsibility for not getting a decent team to port the PC version. <br />

<br />
Look at the release of Killer Instinct. It came out yesterday and runs great at max settings even on mid range machines. On top of that , the online play is very very smooth. <br />
<br />
Then you have smaller fighting games, that even with much less money than Netherrealm they still do what they can to bring their game to PC fans. I'm talking about Guilty Gear Xrd by Arc System Works. <br />
<br />
We also have the newly released Street fighter 5 , and Capcom has not been known to abandon their PC game. Street fighter 4 on PC got all the updates and DLC and fixes so you can be assured that Street Fighter 5 will too. <br />
<br />
Ed on the other hand has a bad track record with is games on PC. Injustice was a disaster. Online play barely worked since day one and it didn't get any patches or updates. Luckily we did get all the DLC but that's it. The game was unplayable online for the most part. <br />
<br />
Before that we had Mortal Kombat 9. Again, we got all the DLC, but online was a shit show. Connecting with friends that lived 5 minutes away was a pain because it wouldn't work with any consistency. Did we get any patches to fix that? no. They just took the money from the initial sales and .... I don't know...jacked off with it. Which looks like what Ed is doing with MKX for PC.<br />
<br />
The way he's trolling on twitter , it seems he's very proud of himself for doing it too. It's a horrible thing that happened with MKX on PC , especially when you basically give a chunk of your fans the middle finger and laugh. <br />
<br />
The good thing is that other developers don't seem to be going along the same douchebag path that Ed is going down. We are seeing some great games coming to PC from some great developers and that is the trend while Ed Boon is the minority in his cowardly handling of the situation. <br />
<br />
Go support devs that know how important their fans are, and ghost Ed like he did to us. Though taking some jabs at him on twitter can still be fun so vote in this poll I made.<br />

<br />
<br />
So Microsoft released Killer Instinct today for Windows 10. This game and Gears of War Untimate Edition are 2 of many more games MS plans to release to merge their LIVE service with Windows 10.<br />
<br />
Killer Instinct requires that you are running Windows 10, and is available only on the Windows store. You wont be able to buy it on any other digital distribution site like Steam. Some people might moan and groan at that, but the fact is that Windows 10 is the most solid MS OS in ages and is even better than Windows 7. It's also more efficient and makes your machine run much smoother. I haven't experience crashes with Windows 10, and I haven't had compatibility issues like I did with windows 7 and 8.<br />
<br />
One thing that annoys me with the Windows games is that they don't support overlays. So you cant use FRAPS or NVIDIA experience to take screenshots or record video. Windows has its own version, but even that wasn't supported with this game. I had to use PrtScr to take screenshots. <br />
<br />
MS even offer a free upgrade to Windows 10 and yes they are pushing their OS, but it's worth the upgrade especially if you want to play Gears of War Ultimate Edition, Killer Instinct and or the Upcoming Forza 6 for PC.<br />

<br />
<br />
As for Killer Instinct on PC. Its free to download.... Yes you read that right. Though the free version only comes with one character, SabreWolf.<br />
<br />
Luckily for me, I took advantage of when MS was giving away Season 1 of Killer Instinct for free for Xbox One. Though you could also claim it for free if you only had an Xbox 360. <br />
<br />
I'm glad I did because from day one, I get to play Killer Instinct with 8 plyable characters , alternate and classic costumes and colours with a handful of stages. <br />
<br />
Killer Instinct has 3 seasons so far. You can buy them all separate, or all together . You can also just buy individual characters from any season.<br />

(I messed this picture up...sorry.)<br />
<br />
I have only put in about an hour so far but I really enjoyed what I played. Even though I don't own any characters from season 2 or 3, I can still play against those characters in single player which is great because you can still learn the matchups for online play. <br />
<br />
Speaking of online play, the 2 matches I played ran silky smooth and this is day one of the release..... When has a fighter in recent history done that? I'm impressed. Edit: Online play features cross platform play, so you can play against console players in online modes. This is a great trend in fighting games because it makes the player pool much bigger. <br />
<br />
The graphics look very sharp, and you don't need a killer rig to run the game well. I have a GTX 660 ti and turned all the settings to max and the game ran flawlessly.<br />

<br />
<br />
Combos can be amazing to see, though really long and if you get caught in one it can be annoying to watch your life gauge go down while you try to complete a combo breaker to get out.<br />
<br />
There are a bunch of game modes to choose from right off the bat. You have single player options like fighting against the CPU in a single fight or you can jump into training to learn combos for the characters you own. You can also go into a story mode, or jump into survival mode and see how many characters you can beat before you lose your health.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(look at those particles!)<br />
<br />
I enjoyed every minute of the hour I put in so far and look forward to putting in much more while I learn how to do combos and take my game online. I even saw a stage "fatality" performed on me which was really cool. It was on the halo stage and a ghost got dropped on my character. <br />
<br />
I would recommend this game to anyone who is into fighting games, those who loved Killer Instinct back in the day and to those who are disappointed that Mortal Kombat has left PC gamers behind with the new XL content. <br />
<br />
It's free to try out so go download it and give it a shot. I don't think you'll be disappointed. <br />

<br />
I bought this game on CD quite a few years ago for $2.50 from EB Games and the first time I played it I got stuck at the end of chapter 1 because I couldn't beat the Barghest. I also wasn't good at the combat system and wasn't using the proper sword or the proper fighting technique for the right enemies. <br />
<br />
I ended up letting this game sit for a long time. Then the sequel came out and I ended up buying that game. For some reason I couldn't get far in that game either. But that was more due to not having time to play.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
That game sat for a while too. I tried a few times to play through both games but never got far. Finally The Witcher 3 came out and I bought that too.... Though I decided that I was going to play through the series from the beginning so that I experienced all I could about the Witcher like I did when I was introduced to the Mass Effect series. <br />
<br />
Well, I finally beat The Witcher. It took about 47 hours to complete and I loved it. I got the hang of the combat this time around and I loved it. Human enemies were weaker against steel swords while monsters were weaker against the silver sword. So you have two swords on you at all times and each sword has 3 styles: strong, fast and crowd. Strong is for big tough enemies, fast is for faster enemies who can evade the slower strong style , and crowd is for when you are swarmed with 2 or more enemies. <br />

You can also carry a third weapon. I carried an axe, but I never used it once in the entire game. You also have a slot for a 4rth weapon. Usually it would be a dagger or a torch for seeing in dark places. I did use the torch on occasion when I didn't have the "cat" potion which helps you see in the dark, but I don't recall ever using the dagger. <br />
<br />
Speaking of potions, alchemy plays a big part in The Witcher. Lots of fights in this game can be really tough, but if you use the right potions or weapon upgrades beforehand then they can be quite a bit easier. There are potions that speed up your vitality regeneration, there are ones that make your weapons more powerful, ones that speed up your reflexes, ones that boost your damage against certain types of enemies and so on. <br />

<br />
To make potions you need ingredients and those come from all over the game world or from merchants. Some require rarer ingredients than others but most of the time its worthwhile to make sure you have a good selection of potions ready for any situation. <br />
<br />
This game came out in 2007 and while the graphics are dated I thought they looked really good for an older game. I'm not sure if it had a slight upgrade when it became "the enhanced edition" but I thought they looked good. I also liked that the game had a day/night cycle and even weather. There was even a mission where you needed there to be a storm. You could either get it done by magic or just wait for a storm and save some money from hiring someone to make a storm.<br />

<br />
The music in the game is really good too and if you have the GOG.com version then you can download the music score, as well as a bunch of other cool extras like behind the scenes videos, maps of the world, interviews with the developers, and artbook and other things as well. <br />
<br />
This game has tons of characters. Geralt Starts of with amnesia (original...) so you can go into the game knowing just as much about the world of the Witcher as he does. You meet people who know you, but you don't know. Some are friends, some are enemies and some turn out friends or enemies depending on choices you make in the game. You get to know lots of these characters through many interactions. There are also relationships that also change depending on your choices. <br />

Fist fights were pretty simple and also the most boring this in the game in my opinion. I enjoyed the Poker Dice game because at times it was a decent way to make money and it was actually fun.<br />
<br />
Leveling up consists of spending bronze , silver and gold talent points to upgrade your weapon styles, the amount of damage you inflict, how well you can do alchemy, unlocking bomb making skills and to strengthen your sign usage (magic). I didn't unlock bomb making at all in this game, but by the end I had most things fully upgraded and Geralt was a total bad ass. Especially after getting the Raven armour in Chapter 5 which is the final chapter of the game. Though if you do finish the mission to get this armour, you can start the Witcher 2 with this armour which is pretty nice. I also noticed I started with the upgraded sword that I finished the first game with.<br />

<br />
Missions are pretty standard for an RPG. They consist of taking quests and going off to find a lost item, or kill a monsters and so on, but I was rarely bored , even at parts with lots of backtracking. This game features politics and racism and as you progress you need to decide what side you're on. Though you can be neutral as well.<br />

<br />
I'm glad I finally took the time to go through this game, it was really awesome and I enjoyed it a lot. I ended up starting up The Witcher 2 right away which is also a blast so far. I cant wait to finish and start the third game. <br />
<br />
I recommend anyone start with the first game in the series so that you get more insight into the characters and motives of all the characters you'll come across in the third game. <br />

Obscure is a survival horror game that takes place in a school and you take control of one of 5 characters. The intro video for the game definitely gives off a Dawson's Creek meets Resident Evil vibe. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The game came out in 2005 and while the graphics do show its age, they were also surprisingly good. On PC at high resolutions the graphics were sharp and I didn't mind them at all. The school had good detail and while there aren't many monster types, they looked pretty good. Especially the final boss.</div>

<div>
Each of the game's 5 characters have a different attribute that separates them from the rest. The good thing is that there is never a time where you HAVE to use a particular character. You can run around with one character, or two and switch between them with the press of a button. You can also play the game in co op mode with a friend. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Josh tells you if there are more items to be picked up in a room or any more areas of interest to check out. </div>
<div>
Stanley tells you if there are any more locks in the area that can be opened.</div>
<div>
Kenny can sprint</div>
<div>
Shannon is Kenny's sister and she gives hints on what to do next and she can heal 20 percent more with health items/</div>
<div>
Ashley is Kenny's girlfriend and can double fire handguns and does more damage with melee weapons.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The tips the characters give out helped me a few times in the game. At one point where you need to find 4 statues, I had 3 and couldn't find the last one anywhere. I had Ashley and her hint at first was "The last statue must be outside of the basement..."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used the hint so much she finally said " I think the last statue is in the library"</div>
<div>
And there is was....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another thing about the game is that if a character dies, they are gone for the rest of the game, unless you reload a save game and try again. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There was a section near the end where you had to go down some stairs that were under an elevator. If you didn't secure the safety lock before going down, then one of your team members gets crushed and killed by the elevator falling. If you secure it, then everyone makes it down safe..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The voice acting in the game is actually pretty good. I've seen games with bigger budgets with far worse voice acting than in Obscure. Also the game isn't overly long. I think I beat it in just under 5 hours. </div>
<div>
There are a few melee weapons which are really just a couple different bats, and a steel bar, and the rest are handguns and shotguns. You can also find flashlights and attach them to your weapons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The story has to do with one of your teachers kidnapping students and doing experiments on them that has to do with plants , and he turns students into monsters that react badly to sunlight. Kenny is kidnapped at the start of the game and you save him later on and then can use him for the rest of the game. Pretty basic story but the gameplay is fun enough that the story doesn't really matter all that much. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The enemies in the games are hurt by light, so if you focus your flashlight beam on the first and dispel the dark stuff circling them, they become weaker and take less damage before being defeated. </div>
<div>
There are some pretty easy puzzles to solve, a bit of backtracking, and some special items to find, like the lazer at the end of the game. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin-A9dyF1PtOq9ZO_b3ZvpraKNRSA9-WXtSYIrBzkBzAmDRJPWw8vjdFOuVMei4e_yNaRRjskOpzK4rseLmY2ZMtwrGPmEWo8DNPpMtqnCaLoFAWvTA6GOSBm_c5_uxgKFYZinEBkt1yoB/s1600/obscure1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin-A9dyF1PtOq9ZO_b3ZvpraKNRSA9-WXtSYIrBzkBzAmDRJPWw8vjdFOuVMei4e_yNaRRjskOpzK4rseLmY2ZMtwrGPmEWo8DNPpMtqnCaLoFAWvTA6GOSBm_c5_uxgKFYZinEBkt1yoB/s640/obscure1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, after beating the game on normal, you unlock hard and special mode and you unlock an extra costumer per character. Apparently you need to finish the game in hard mode to get the real ending. I haven't done that yet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The game has a sequel called Obscure 2: The Aftermath which I haven't beaten before but what I played was fun. It has new characters with Kenny, Shannon and Stan returning. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There was also another game which was supposed to be Obscure 3, but it became Final Exam. A 4 player co op side-scroller. I have no intention of playing that one, but I do recommend the first two games if you want something different that wont take too long and will only cost a couple dollars on a steam sale. </div>

I finally got around to finishing Batman Arkham City. I had the game on Origin , but the version I played and beat was on Steam. I got the steam version free along with Arkham Asylum because I own Arkham Knight on Steam. It was some bonus WB gave out to people who kept arkham Knight even though it was riddled with bugs and performance issues. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I noticed that the Steam version had performance issues that I don't have on the Origin version. The Steam version had dipping FPS issues on a consistent basis on max settings. I didn't have those issues on Origin on max settings though and running Arkham Origins on max which is a nicer looking game ran perfectly smooth.<br />

<br />
The game itself was quite fun to play through. Arkham city is a prison city for Gotham's criminals which the mayor of Gotham let a maniac named Hugo Strange to control because he got money out of it or something. Either way, Strange was using it for his own purposes and now all hell is breaking loose in the city and The Joker is a big part of the goings on as usual. <br />
<br />
Joker is sick with some kind of deadly virus and he traps batman, injects batman with his blood so that he is sick too and is forced to hunt down a cure. This takes Batman on an Easter egg hunt that brings him up against a bunch of his usual baddies, including Ras Al Gul, The Penguin, Mr Freeze, The Joker and countless goons that follow the different bosses.<br />

<br />
Batman analyses crime scenes using detective mode to find clues as to where to go next and when you need to get somewhere you can zipline and glide across the city with relative ease. Its pretty cool to fly around the city and seeing the snow, the lights and the buildings going by below you. <br />
<br />
There are plenty of upgrades to unlock as you gain experience from beating up thugs or destroying security cameras or finding Riddler trophies. The upgrades give you new combat moves, upgrade your equipment or make your armour take less damage from bullets or melee attacks. <br />
<br />
The combat is fairly simple. You just need to press X to hit bad guys and press Y to counter them. You can also use your gadgets in battle and against certain thugs you may need to attack from behind or disarm them first with specific moves before you can beat them into submission. <br />

<br />
<br />
There are times when you need to take out a room of baddies without anyone seeing you or else they shoot the hostages. Those are pretty fun but like the regular combat can get repetitive. <br />
<br />
The boss fights are fun for the most part and the story was really good. I especially liked the part when you had to track down Ras al gul and then take the trials to get his blood. I thought that was the most interesting part of the game and I also felt that his daughter talia was one of the more interesting characters because of her relationship to batman. They have a child together who is now Robin in the comics. <br />
<br />
The game has some side quests to take on that will put you up against other characters from the batman comics. Hush, Deadshot, Bane and The Ridder. Though when you solve those quests the confrontations with those characters is pretty anti climactic. The riddler challenges can get tedious as there are almost 200 of them and you need to find them as batman , then switch to Catwoman and find some that only she can get. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Yes you get to play some parts of the campaign as Catwoman. Though not very much. SO little in fact that I wonder why they shoehorned her in. I thought she would play a bigger part but it was pretty underwhelming. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPeSqeQW1hh0OclNkIswceYnWfPZe9PfVpc1pkLs9D-Q8GDiz8S_iL7h9v3iUlQUVhK47IBFwOa4GLSnVr1AY6YH8TsTaFBZyuj4SDKZCnRRx4zl6x7EfN5Ot2rANefVP2uUW0zwUDlS9F/s1600/screenshot-18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPeSqeQW1hh0OclNkIswceYnWfPZe9PfVpc1pkLs9D-Q8GDiz8S_iL7h9v3iUlQUVhK47IBFwOa4GLSnVr1AY6YH8TsTaFBZyuj4SDKZCnRRx4zl6x7EfN5Ot2rANefVP2uUW0zwUDlS9F/s640/screenshot-18.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
There is also DLC called Harley's Revenge. Dealing with Harley Quinn being upset and blaming Batman for the death of Joker, though I also think it may have to do with her blaming Batman for her lost pregnancy. I'm not 100 percent sure on this and need to look it up, but in the main campaign, you can come across a pregnancy test which shows positive. So it looks like Harley was pregnant. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUBXQT4mcOlS9uM2NHEQMYm1HRcqhHeJiONV3krRMA7_5PRLbT6fhs6k7gZbQ_ys7jLV-nUwoNILQp0__fONCxRlQ-XdGgCnBTbuyPYSocZ6IlfHlQZcHBQvHoz-iNPjoV6Z9iGsLjpdau/s1600/Positive.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUBXQT4mcOlS9uM2NHEQMYm1HRcqhHeJiONV3krRMA7_5PRLbT6fhs6k7gZbQ_ys7jLV-nUwoNILQp0__fONCxRlQ-XdGgCnBTbuyPYSocZ6IlfHlQZcHBQvHoz-iNPjoV6Z9iGsLjpdau/s640/Positive.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Later, in the DLC campaign, if you enter that room again (which you have to) you will see that same test sitting by itself, but in the middle of the room there is now a crib with a small Joker doll in it and all around the crib are a bunch of pregnancy tests scattered around it all showing negative. That to me shows that she lost the child and kept taking tests hoping one would show positive again. I'd blame batman too as early in the game he beats her down pretty hard that any pregnant woman would lose a pregnancy after that hit. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
In the DLC though, you play as Robin trying to save Batman. It was kind of neat to play a robin , and the DLC isn't overly long so it wasn't bad. <br />
<br />
I haven't gotten all the riddler trophies yet because its pretty tedious but I finished everything else in the game. I want to go and finish Arkham Origins before moving on to Arkham Knight.<br />
<br />
In closing, Arkham City was a really good game. When Arkham Asylum came out It was a huge step forward for super hero games and Arkham City built on it very well. <br />

The game tends to go on sale on Steam for about 4.99 pretty often so if you have been on the fence about the game, wait for a sale and then try it out. You get a lot of bang for your buck and you get a really awesome Batman game.

<br />
I know that MKX for the PC is a hot topic right now because of the fact that there was news that the latest DLC will be coming to consoles only. Regardless of that though, the game is pretty great. There are tons of people on Steam now complaining and saying that they want refunds because the game isn't complete and so on and so forth. All that is complete B.S<br />
<br />
The game itself is very complete. It has a large cast of characters at 24, though its 25 if you preordered and got Goro. If not then he is listed as downloadable content. 24 characters is pretty darn good for a fighting game. That gives you a ton of options for play styles that you can try out, dabble in or downright master. <br />

<br />
<br />
If that isn't enough, you could buy Kombat Pack 1 which gives you 4 more characters as well. With all those you have returning favourites such as Sub Zero, Raiden, Sonya Blade (my personal favourite), Kitana, Mileena and Jax. There are also new characters such as Cassie Cage who is the daughter of Sonya and Johnny Cage, there is Jaquie Briggs who is Jax and Sonya's daughter.....Just kidding, it's Jax's kid but Sonya didn't get around THAT much.<br />

<br />
<br />
There is also Kung Jin who is related to Lui Kang and Kung Lao and there are a couple other new characters that are somewhat interesting. <br />
<br />
The graphics in this version are great. Mortal Kombat has done a great job making detailed and interesting costumes for their characters and that is one thing I really appreaciate from a game like this. Compared to other fighting games, this one has the best costume design in my opionion. Other games seem to have very basic and boring designs, and I'm looking right at Street Fighter, one of my favourite games, but man do they ever not know how to do good costumes. Ryu and most of the cast have been wearing the exact same costumes for over 20 years.....<br />

<br />
<br />
Anyway, the backgrounds are also very detailed and nice to look at. Some levels have weather effects such as rain and snow and most just look absolutely vibrant. I also like that you can interact with things from the background which is something they brought over from Injustice:Gods Among US. Though this time you can actually block things that are picked up and thrown at you. In Injustice you couldn't.<br />
<br />
Fatalities are obviously back in this game, though most of them aren't all that great. It shows that more thought and creativity went into the Brutalities. Those are way better than fatalities and flow with the game a lot better. While fatalities are done to the other player after you have defeated them, brutalities are done by meeting certain criteria and usually mean performing a move as the last hit on the other player while holding a button or finishing with an X-ray attack , or having them in the right spot and shooting them with a projectile at the right time to get that brutality finish which is a much cooler and flashier finish than a fatality is. <br />

<br />
There is also one stage fatality that I know of and apparently an old lady from the background can be used to finish a player off as well. Each character has about 6 brutalities, and only about 2 or 3 fatalities. Though there are also faction kills, which like fatalities are done at the end of the match and again aren't as fun as brutalities. Friendships and babalities didn't make this game though and I'm not mad about that.<br />

<br />
While lots of people on Steam complain about the online play, I have had 95 percent great matches in my over 1000 online ranked and player matches. There was so much complaining that NRS included a ping and FPS icon you can view on your opponent before a match so you can decide if you want to play against them or not. <br />
<br />
Some people online are trying to play with red ping and red FPS, so no wonder they are having a bad experience. I do notice that for games like this people try to play them on old hardware and then complain about optimization.....<br />
<br />
Regardless. Another feature brought over to MKX from Injustice is the level select. Player one can choose a level to fight on or select random and a random level will be picked. Though player two can decide to choose a level as well and if they do , then you get a 50/50 chance that your level choice will be chosen over the other player. <br />

Once thing lacking that I wish they added was a double blind player select. Street Fighter has it and MK should as well so that you can avoid the whole issue of people waiting for you to pick your character so they can pick based on your choice. <br />
<br />
There is an option to hide your cursor, but the issue is that you cant see it either and that makes it possible to accidently pick the wrong character to use.<br />
<br />
Since MK9, NRS have done a great job with the story mode for their fighting games. MK9 had a really good story and Injustice had a really good one as well. MKX has a decent one, but its not on par with the previous two games mentioned. There are lots of characters but not enough time to flesh them out, especially the new characters. I kind of wish that instead of a story mode with playable fights in between, they just made a CGI MKX movie that you could watch instead. <br />

<br />
<br />
Street Fighter 4 kind of did this. They released an animated movie that took place before the game, and I liked that the endings in SF4 were also animated in the same style as that movie. MKX though does the usual still images for their endings with a voice over of what happened. <br />
<br />
So, is this game incomplete like people on Steam are saying? No. Not at all. Is this game worth buying right now even though PC owners may never get Kombat Pack 2? I say yes. It still has lots of content and there are still quite a few people playing it online, that it's still a worth purchase. <br />

Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster has just released on PC and consoles not long ago, but I decided to play through RE 5 again just because. I actually really like RE 5. I know that lots of people didn't like the way that the series started to go in the direction of action and not very survival horror anymore, but I think it was just a natural transition over the course of so many years. <br />
<br />
What happens in the story? I don't really know all the details. I know that Chris is looking for Jill and for some reason shes under control of Wesker with some thing on her chest..... Honestly I don't play these games for the story as they are pretty weak for the most part. <br />

<br />
<br />
There are other characters in this game that I have no idea why they are there other than to turn into monster bosses for me to kill. Irving? Some other woman? I don't know. Though I do know Wesker and hes pretty bad ass. I liked fighting him in this game. <br />
<br />
I also really like Sheva. She's a fun new character to the series and I hope they use her again at some point. She should have been Chris' partner instead of the new guy in RE 6, but ah well. <br />

<br />
The locations in the game look great. I love the outdoor sections in Africa the most, but all the locations are pretty interesting. The enemies are pretty neat too. I love the crazy look on the faces of the villagers who are raging and coming to take your head off at every turn. <br />
<br />
This is a typical Resident Evil game, where you go through the levels, pick up ammo and health as well as picking up money and jewels to sell so you can buy ammo , new weapons or upgrade weapon in between levels. As long as you upgrade your guns the game isn't that hard on normal. I cant remember how Veteran was, but I know that for Professional , you pretty much need a human co-op partner because the AI one will get killed and get you killed far too much. <br />
<br />
There is a on rails shooter part which I didn't like very much, but it's short and isn't as bad as rail sections in other games. The boss fights are pretty fun as well because you need to find out how to beat them and sometimes its obvious and other times not so obvious. <br />

<br />
<br />
There is a good amount of replayability in this game, because of the 4 different difficulties, and the amount of guns you can unlock and upgrade. Also there are Emblems to find and shoot which unlocks some special feature in the menus. There are also 4 or 5 costumes for each character. When you finish the game once, you unlock new game + as well as mercenaries reunion which is like a horde mode which can be played in co-op.<br />
<br />
Also, Capcom decided to finally release the Gold Edition DLC content that the consoles had and PC waited years to get afterwards. While I gave up on the PC ever getting this DLC I was surprised to hear an announcement from Capcom that the DLC was coming soon, and when it did, even though it was the full price of 15 dollars, I still bought it. Even though I already had the content for my xbox 360 edition of RE 5. Apparently it took 5 years to come to PC after launching for consoles......<br />

<br />
I personally haven finished the DLC campaigns yet for either console or PC. I will soon though because what the heck am I waiting for? That's not completely true. I finished Lost in Nightmares, but not the Desperate Escape one. The DLC features Jill as playable which is neat. <br />
<br />
I'm sure most of you have played Resident Evil 5, but if you haven't, it really is worth playing through a couple times. I have never seen the DLC go on sale on steam though so if you want that then its another 15 dollars. To me that's a bit pricey for old DLC but being a sucker for RE , I had to have it. <br />
<br />
I'll probably get back to RE 6 soon playing a second time through as the secondary characters this time. RE 6 gets a bad rep but I don't get why.<br />
