Ok people, the point of this blog is to point out 5 games which I loved, yet the masses seemed to hate. Now im sure I can think of more then 5, but im only gonna talk about 5 right now. Some of these games were either ignored by the mainstream gaming press either because the reviewers didn't play them enough, or because they weren't some big budget titles with a big name attached. At least that is my opinion.
Happy Friday Pixlbit! The weekend has started early for me, so I thought I would add another Quick Hits with Chris Blog.
So word is GTA 5 will have in game cash transaction meaning you will be able to pay real cash for ingame cash for the online game, so is this a bad thing in my opinion yes this means people will be able to buy up realastate and cars stock etc with out actually earning it. The game and its economy have been designed and balanced for the vast majority of players who will not buy extra cash. There is no in-game paywall and nothing that should disrupt the balance of the game. You don't have to spend real money to attain the cars, guns, clothes, flash and style of a high-roller in Los Santos, but can if you wish to get them a little quicker. The economy is balanced differently from the single-player economy, and cash earned in one cannot be taken over to the other. Most players will earn cash much faster online than in story mode.
The late summer, early fall time is what I like to call ‘fair and circus season.’ You don’t see them much anymore, but used to around this time of year, I would always see little travelling circuses and carnivals set up in the parking lots and open fields around town. Plus it’s also the time of year that the Texas State Fair opens. And what do you usually see at all these fairs, circuses, and carnivals? Clowns! So in honor of those silly and sometimes scary merrymakers of mirth, here are my top five favorite clowns in video games! Plus, with Halloween coming up, I thought this would be a good idea since some do find clowns frightening.
I cannt think straight right now, my thought process is all over the place. I do feel the need to sit down and write, so I apologize if I end a paragraph mid-sentence. It has been a while since I have sat down and written anything so I fe
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages was the last game that I have actually finished. That was about 2 weeks ago, and I have not been able to settle into another game since. I bounced around games like Rayman Oranges. While I did enjoy Rayman, I had issues with the controls and set it back down after finishing a couple of worlds. I had picked up a Vita and messed around with that, playing a bit of Killzone: Liberation, Hotline Miami, and Symphony of the Night. Nothing has stuck so far, until last night. I really hate bouncing around games and prefer to just settle into the next one and finish it before moving on. Luckily I may have found it in A Link to the Past. I sat down for 2 hours or so and have been flying through the game. I have finished it a dozen or so times, so I expect to finish it with everything within the week.
I have also been watching a lot of stuff. My wife and I started and caught up on White Collar over the past month or so and are impatiently waiting for it to come back for season 5. I powered through a bunch of classic Doctor Who. Stories like, The Ambassadors of Death, Inferno, The Sea Devils, Planet of the Daleks, Frontier in Space, Ark in Space, Full Circle, and State of Decay. I will finish up th E-space trilogy with Warriors gate sometime this weekend. I also watched Ghostbusters again, love that film, and also Let Sleeping Corpses Lie.
I have also done a lot of beer sampling. I have been getting into rye ales, and have been picking up as many as I can find. I tried Hop Rod Rye, Southern Tier 2x Rye, He'brew R.I.P.A. Schell's Emerald Rye, 3 Floyd's Rye'da Tiger and New Holland's Rye Hatter. Most of them were very tasty.
I feel so scatterbrained right now... Oh yeah, I remember enjoying the little bit of Hotline Miami that I played on the PC. That is not the case on the Vita, not sure why... maybe it isn't as good as everybody says.
Super Meat Boy is one of the best modern platformers out there, and I think that this is in part due to the music. This is my cover of Betus Blues. This version shifts genres about 4 times, from world music to rock to jazz to electronica.
I put this show on my Netflix Instant Queue a couple years ago and never got around to watching it. Now, with the series finale airing this Sunday, I've decided to binge through all 5 seasons in time to avoid having the show spoiled for me.
Hey, did you know there's a new Armored Core game out today? I bet you didn't realize it. We received an announcement months ago that Armored Core: Verdict Day would be coming out soon, and then heard nothing until today, the day the game launches. Sure there are some minor YouTube videos out there and other blurbs, but you'd have to know to look for them, and even then it ain't much.
So get this Pixlbit, Fall is here and what is the first thing that greeted me to the end of Summer? The sniffles. Yep, oh cruel, cruel Fall, trying to sneak in a cold so I could be miserable instead of not having to worry about the heat (it’s still going to hit 100° in my little part of Southern Californaia)
Finished the Fighter's Guild quests today. There's an interrogation segment but all you do is the persuade mini-game until it's maxed and then bribe a few times. The guy who tells you to interrogate the prisoner then does a stick figure painting of it later on. I got a chuckle out of that. And I caught Vampirism but cured it right away. I killed a whole bunch of Ogres, bandits, and what I thought were goblins, but were actually innocents, because I was on a drug given to me by the Blackwood Company, a rival of the Fighter's Guild. It reminded me of the PS3 game Haze where you're a soldier on a drug, doing the dirty work for some evil corporation. I was redeemed though and got to the top rank of Master in the Guild.
