Demon Souls Remaster Up To Sony Says Miyazaki

Many people have been curious over the years and especially this year being the Demon Souls 10 year anniversary, are we looking at a remaster of the game that first introduced us to the way Miyazaki designed games that later would become Dark Souls and Bloodborne.  In recent interviews, however, Miyazaki has revealed that even if he wanted to, which the idea makes him nervous, it would, in the end, be up to Sony, not From Software since Sony holds the IP.

If it happens or not, I don’t know but it wouldn’t be the most surprising thing ever. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Farming Simulator, E-Sports.

Not gonna lie, that seems like a satire article doesn’t it? Maybe some sort of click bait? Well, it’s being reported by The Verge and Kotaku and Motherboard. This is legitimately a thing, and as news to me, this is apparently quite real in life. Don’t get me wrong always knew bull riding was real and stuff like that but it seems like there is an entire world of farm games out there. Not like Farming Simulator 17 (Xbox One) farming games but like people having competitions type.

Well, the e-sports league will see people stacking hay bails and such for a chance at their chunk of 100k Euros (just over 113 thousand US dollars) in 10 tournaments across Europe, tho sadly us over here in the states are a bit out of luck. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Farming Simulator 15 (PS4)

Some of you may remember a while back, got curious and bought Farming Simulator 17 (Xbox One) to see what it was like. Well, Farming Simulator 15 was on sale and I had to see what that game was like and not surprisingly it is quite a bit like Farming Simulator 17. There are of course some added tools, crops and animals and the graphics are better but the game is basically the same, even at least one of the farms seems exactly the same.

Now clearly I could be wrong, there may be slight differences as I didn’t go and examine things carefully but they are at least quite similar. There as also some things missing that I liked from 17, such as the ability to tie things down on your trailers. This, of course, isn’t a deal breaker and if you simply want to see if you like the genre, by all means, pick it up on sale. The 2 are similar enough I don’t see a reason to purchase one over the other if you simply want to experiment and see if you like it.

That being said, if you played 15 and never played 17 and are looking to upgrade I would suggest just buying  Farming Simulator 19. I haven’t played it yet but these two are so similar I can’t imagine 19 being vastly different to the point you would dislike it but like these. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Bonkers, brilliant and ready to break necks — Later Levels

It’s 1992, I’m a teenager in the arcades with my mates and we’re pumping 20p after 20p into the Street Fighter II machine in a vain attempt to beat enough CPU opponents in order to face the final four. Then, from nowhere a cabinet shouts out ‘FINISH HIM!’ and all our heads turn. That’s my […]

Cultist Simulator

Cultist Simulator is a rather interesting game. In fact, it is actually a rather interesting review to try to write since to tell you how to play the game in itself would actually mess up a huge part of the game. The game is a card game, you use the card to make choices. Each card is used to do a different thing such as go to work or study. You will need to manage your money, health, and even your mental health, or your dread. Yes, you can go insane and die. You can die in a whole host of ways actually, then pick up as a new character. Once I died and restarted as a detective that had a file on my last character.

This all seems pretty vague, and the reason it sounds vague is telling you too much would actually ruin the game. The idea of the game is mostly figuring out how and what to do and what happens when you do it. I have included a video so you can see it in action, but I suggest just trying it for yourself. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Portal Knights (PS4)

Portal Knights is one of this month’s free games and honestly, I wanted to enjoy this one. It is kind of like Minecraft except with a purpose I can get behind. You build things, fight enemies and explore. That his more or less the entire purpose of the game, as opposed to Minecraft where you simply build stuff. So I was excited to be able to do the same thing for a reason.

The sad fact is the game just wasn’t fun or good. I was constantly hitting slowdowns, framerate drops and being disconnected. Not just once but many times over various attempts. This saddens me because the bit I got to play was fun. Regardless the game is free so feel free to try it, and I hope your luck it better than mine. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Meeple Station (PC)

Meeple Station developed by Vox games and punished by Modularity can be purchased on Steam. The premise is quite simple, build a space station, mine resources, trade with other ships, increase the size of your station and crew, repeat. It sounds easy, but it does take quite a bit of effort and time to learn. You will also be fending off space pirates and, well squids. They will both honestly screw your day up. Honestly, there isn’t much to the game, yet.

Some of the future promised content however is quite impressive if true. They are talking about a co-op mode that would be amazing for this type of game as its rarely done and even rarer is that it is done well. There is also talk that they will be implementing a way to build your own trade ships. The game is in early access and they claim it is only about 20% done which if true means there is a ton more stuff coming in. definitely, do not count this as a complete review but as more of a preview combined with a review as I will be revisiting this time in the future. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

Elite Dangerous Distant Worlds Omega Station

Distant Worlds is sort of on a break for some good old fashioned community goals. One is to gather the stuff for building a station new the center of the galaxy, the other is simply killing some stuff. I actually got here pretty fast, to be honest, did a little mining and decided I don’t like it and went exploring.

We won’t be leaving for the next leg of the journey until these are done since building the next station is part of the journey. The area is rather nice tho sitting near a nebula there is plenty to see. The real interesting thing tho is all the people. Every time I sign in there are new people to talk to, many still discussing The View where many have already lost ships to the extra gravity. The people on this journey are equal parts helpful and at times lonely. Numerous times people have been looking for wings, just to hear someone else’s voice. The whole thing is rather interesting to follow, and I will keep you all updated once the journey continues. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
