Well as it happens yesterday was one of my friend of the families 50th Birthdays, Saturday and he had a house party, I had work this morning at 10 so i had to leave early.
So a recent Nintendo Direct came out and it was...as expected. I can't say anything wowed me. Games you knew were coming were given more extensive trailers or a broader understanding. And the thing is...I kind of don't like directs. They leave fans a certain unfullfillment. What I mean by that is say you expect something like Yoshi Yarn. This was a game we were promised was being developed...but since then mum is the word. No trailers, no information, are they even still working on it?
No game is perfect. No matter how close it gets to perfection, even the absolute best titles fall short, whether it be in areas large or small. Here are a few examples from my personal favorites:
So yesterday, all my friends were busy doing Valentine's stuff and my date from Sunday was still in Dallas, meaning I didn't get any laundry done or see The LEGO Movie.
So I missed Friday. My girl wanted to spend all day with me and so it was challenging with classes and practice to be able to blog. Even today it was hard do anything because we had our second Valentines Day. I don't know why we decided to make it two days but it happened. She doesn't cook so she wanted to cook me dinner so that was my gift which the meal turned out pretty well. I got her some jewelry and all in all it was a very successful first valentines day for us.
*To everyone who has commented on my last blog, I am still workng on repying to everyone. No one shall be left out. I plan to finish replys tomorrow, its just something I still need to take my time with. I appreciate yall so much ^_^
I didn't post anything yesterday for a reason. It's a holiday for couples, and I didn't want to bother anyone with my whining and complaining. Yes, this is one of THOSE blogs. I urge you, please don't read if you don't want your day ruined with my pathetic tale of lost loves and broken hearts. That being said, I'm not a woman hater or anything. I just want to share why it is so hard for me on this particular day.
Still time to hazard a guess for this week's Trivia Thusday, so please do if you want.
Just watched video impressions of the Titanfall beta, by popular Youtuber,TotalBiscuit. I haven't thought much of this game, seeing it as little more than Xboy hype (nothing against sensible Xbox users, but I thought "why does this game get so much hype as being the next big FPS thing, but Planetside 2 and Tribes: Agenda didn't get anywhere near the same hype when they were new)...until now. I'm very digging it. Sure, I still think some games get immediate hype because of politics, but It looks like loads of fun and has potential for many badass moments. It looks purely video gamey in the way a Mario game is, or more appropriately, Unreal Tournament. Not that it's a similar kind of FPS, but there is little in the way of concessions being made to realism or "immersion" (you know the kind of talking about). Very arcade, fast paced, physics defying stuff. Unfortunately I can't afford a new console or PC upgrade anytime soon.
No, Netflix isn't adding ads to its content, don't worry.
Just sitting here at Mark's place waiting for Pirate's Booty DLC to download for Borderlands 2. We finished the main story line last Thursday and today we mopped up all but one side mission in the main game. There's one final side mission labeled "Impossible" difficulty that apparently requires four players at level 50 or better to beat. I figure we'll be able to do it with two once we finish all the DLC and are above level 50, or maybe we'll have to find some more players. I am going for a complete achievement run of this game. According to xbox360achievements.com, it's not a hard game to get a perfect score.
Most people have a top 10 or top 5 favorite games list. Most people have games that they'll replay over and over and over. I have enjoyed many games in my 15+ years of gaming. But these are my top 5 in no particular order. These are games I will always go back to.
Firstly, I missed a day. I apologise but I had to move out of college so I was a touch busy. Any way let's finish this list shall we?
So from what I've heard the Robocop remake sucked. It was pretty apparant it would when you heard the movie wouldn't be as wonderfully gory as the original. But, enough negativity, let's do something positive. Like my all time favorite remakes of video games. Which, unlike the film industry, can actually be pretty damn good. I'm more avoiding the fresh coat of paint ones though, so I can get real remakes though. Ones that take the basis of the original and revamp them for something more modern. Basically, they don't just look different like Halo Anniversary, they play and feel different too.
