I traded my dark souls a while back and Dark Souls is free for Xbox live gold so if anyone can dig through your games and see if I can get a 1 day 1 month whatever free trial you can spare it would be awesome so I can get Darksouls without buying a 3 month scrypt which I really cant afford at presrnt time so if you can awesome if not thanks for looking. And if you do just put the code in my inbox :)
Well I saw Flash Sale today on PSN but when I took a look in the store there were games listed at their regular price like FFX/X-2 HD for the low low price of $39.99, the very same price it was yesterday annd has been since it was released.
I played Wolfenstein: New Order a bit on Saturday, about two and half hours, and on Sunday I started out by watching youtube epic fails and sling shot ride videos on my 360. Laughed myself to tears. Then I watched a bunch of Twitch live play of a bunch of games like: Arma III, Eve Online, World of Tanks, and Elder Scrolls Online just to see what those games look like in action. Then I watched a longer Twitch stream of Borderlands 2 and this Hunt 3.0 thing. I guess it's a challenge on Twitch to get a number of legendary equipment in the game. I watched this one guy farm for one of the weapons by beating the same boss over and over until it dropped. I can't believe people go to such lengths for this stuff. Still, the list of items was kinda neat. It shows where each item is in the world, or, where it has the chance to be dropped. I may utilize that sometime in the future.
One problem I have noticed with reviewing games is that you sometimes have to put a lot of filler into what you write. Some games it just flows naturally, The Last of Us and Saints Row 4 I had to cut myself really short for instance. But established series like Mario Kart which always refine and polish what you previously have? There's not that much to talk about. So I'm going to put the meat and potatoes, here's five ways 8 improves on the MK formula.
just wanted to shoot a small update: i finished up Dark Souls 2. In total I spent 84 hours on my first playthrough. To be fair, I did almost all of what Drangleic has to offer, even netting 74% of the trophies.
Good Morning Pixlbit! As I sit and type my latest blog I am currently listening to the Beach Boys album I picked up last week on clearance, and well I’m starting to think I might have overpaid. A little harsh but it happens. Anyways since I am currently listening to some music, waiting for the World Wide Developer’s Conference to start (the only time I use Safari), and waiting for them to finally announce the iPod Pequeno (one of my favorite SNL skits), I thought I’d update you good people on what I have been playing, but first something interesting I saw on my Twitter feed
May was a good month for games! At least for me. I've had far too many games going at once these last couple of months and I've finally finished most of them (there are a few stragglers). And not too many new games!
Up until the PS2 days, buying games at retail was a pretty straightforward process. Most games were "what you see is what you get" affairs, where the game you picked up in the store that day was a locked-in, static product for the entire time you spent with it. Now? Not so much.
When I tried to get on this morning it downloaded and installed what looked like the same patch as yesterday. Once it finished I was able to get into the store.
Hey Pixlbit. Just wanted to give you readers a quick heads up about TRU's clearance sale that's currently going on. At my local store, there's tons of games that were clearanced out to make room for newer games. Depending on the color of the price tag will tell you how much percentage you will get off the original price. I only paid attention to the green and blue price tags because that gives you 70% off the game.
So I got Mario Kart 8 today and it was awesome, haven't tried the online yet but might in a bit. As you all know, when you register Mario Kart 8 at Club Nintendo, you get a free code for 4 games, they are New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, and Wii Party U. The thing is, I have all of those games, well except Wii U Party or whatever, and rather than letting it go to waste, why not trade for it? I mean someone else will make better use of that code than me, so I'm looking for a trade.
Earlier this week I posted my opinion on what the Game of the Generation was the Wii/PS3/360. (Check out the blog here or in the forums here.) But that game is not my favorite game from these last eight or nine years, and I was happy to see plenty of others seemed to agree with me. You see, my favorite game from last gen is definitely Super Mario Galaxy. I won't go into great detail (Alex-C25 wrote a great love letter to the game not long ago, which you should totally read if you haven't) but let me paint with some broad strokes. Super Mario Galaxy is the essence of fun, boiled down its purest form. The game is simply a joy to play, and the amount of creativity on display is astounding. It looks great and I love the orchestrated soundtrack. But mainly...it's just so dang fun, and isn't that the point of games in the first place?
I went to access the Playstation store tonight and it said there was an update available. Wasn't optional so I let it download and install the 65 MB update and now I can't get into the store. It tells me to press the PS button to exit and then reload the app but that just repeats the loop.
The week is here; I’m ready to enjoy the weekend…and small doses of the triple digit heat. How are you Pixlbit? Are you ready for the weekend? For some reason short weeks always seem the longest. Of course my short week started off with me waking up freaking out that I forgot to take the trashcans to the curb, only to remember that the trash guys were going to be skipping the day after Memorial Day and show up on Wednesday. Since it is Friday its another edition of Quick Hits with Chris. For today I’m adding a new show I want to talk about, stuff that has been going on, and of course pickups! Sound good? Well let’s get started!
