Death Stranding

A game From Hideo Kojimo that for the longest time nobody knew anything about, and at E3 we finally got some game play from and now we know, basically still not much about. But Norman Reedus carries a baby around. There is a video that I will of course share later. The game play is a bit weird, a lot of time walking as a delivery guy avoiding something. Kinda looks like hand prints forming in the ground fast forwarding time. Look its Kojimo, there is going to be some weird and awesome shit.

The weirdest part tho, is that character seem to be some how immortal unless these invisible creatures kill them. The babies that are carried around in the jars seem to act as some sort of sensor system, which is quite interesting in itself but the real question for me is this. Can I weaponize this baby? Seriously that is the whole reason I want to play this game, to see if I can weaponize a baby. So enjoy the video and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

StarCraft (Retro Review)

Oh StarCraft, you make me feel so damn old. I remember playing you to the early hours of the morning. Both on PC and the Nintendo 64. Hell me and a friend figured out it was possible on the N64 to build 36 nukes as the Terran then pretty much fill the screen with their explosions. It was a good time for all. I mean not the place you dropped them, that was dead. The game itself is a real-time strategy game where you build troops as one of 3 very distinct races, the humans known as Terran, the insect like Zerg or the technologically superior Protoss. They all have their own strengths and weaknesses so pick your poison and practice away, I always liked the Protoss personally.

The game is amazing and to this day has a heavy online community even in multiplayer, tho most people have moved on to Starcraft 2 or the Remaster of the original. You can play the original for free however, and there is no reason not to at least try it out. the game still is a lot of fun if not graphically inferior to look at, I mean it is about 20 years old. It is still fun to play and not bad to look at compared to many games from its time, and its easy to see why all these years later it is still big online. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Jurassic Park Evolution Review

DfshIHnWAAEOTi_

See that sleeping T-Rex? That is my first T-Rex, Rexy. Cute lil guy isn’t he? He decided to go for a walk because he didn’t like his specially made area and eat people. So I make him take a nap, took a picture and put him back. He was apparently really pissed off about the lack of trees in his fenced in area. So I put more trees in there and woke him up. He busted out again and ate more people. Now he was mad about way to many trees. This happened 2 more times before I sold Rexy. I don’t know who the hell I sold him to, but I sold him.

This is the kind of thing that happens, Dinos break out occasionally and kill your guest for weird reasons. It was actually part of the fun. All the dinosaurs look amazing and go about their days and have things they like and dislike, and if they are unhappy long enough they break out. I still haven’t kept a T-Rex happy enough to stay in his cage. The game is a blast but has plenty of issues. For example until you create one of these beast you really have no way of knowing what it wants in its pen.

There also isn’t much of a way of knowing what it will or won’t live with or how many it wants in its pack. For example some carnivores want a few to play with. Others simply want to live alone or don’t have a preference. Some herbivores will panic and try to escape almost immediately without others of its kind around. Some species also simply don’t get along, raptors for example seem to hate everything.

I also have no idea why if you help 1 of the 3 factions more than the other ( security, entertainment or science) the other 2 might start sabotaging you by giving dinosaurs random illnesses or shutting off your power. It makes very little sense that people who work in your park for you and will die themselves would sabotage their own stuff.

Minor issues aside the game is a lot of fun, tho I do wish I had the option to run the sandbox island with the money on or off. It’s cool to just build whatever I want however I want,but for me part of the fun is setting up a successful part, and with unlimited funding that is pretty much kills that possibility. Is the game worth buying tho? Well yes and no. If you love sim and business management games, this is a fun game that fills a spot like nothing else. It will also appeal to dinosaur and Jurassic Park fans. For most people however, definitely wait for a sale. A solid 7.5 our of 10. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Super Smash Brothers (Switch)

Admittedly I am not a huge fan of this series, and I think it’s because the fan base annoys me to no end. The game is fun but I have spent years listening to fans claim it was the greatest fighting game of all time while simultaneously listening to them slam each iteration for any number of reasons from the characters to the controls, the lack of Gamecube controller. You name it there was always something. The game is however fun and unpredictable.

I won’t bother the usual showing you guys the video from E3 tho, by now either you have seen it, or you won’t bother watching it because it is long as hell. So I will just touch some of the highlights that I thought were impressive. First, they are all here. Every character that has ever been in the game as DLC or just part of the game is now a playable character, and so is Ridley. This is amazing and something fans have been wanting, and yes there are new characters as well.

Another great thing fans have been crying for, and I do mean crying, is they can now use a Gamecube controller. That can now also be checked of their wishlist, and honestly I don’t think people realize the significance of this. I doubt they gave smash fans an entire controller for themselves. I think we will now see Gamecube games on the Switch. Just my thoughts. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Quiet Man (Preview)

download

The quiet man is an interesting concept to say the least. According to the press release from Square Enix “THE QUIET MAN takes players beyond sound and words to deliver an immersive story-driven cinematic action experience, which players can complete in one sitting, seamlessly blending high-production live action, realistic CG and pulse-pounding action gameplay.”

Now this all sounds pretty cool, but at the same time, this could be pretty awful. We have seen games like this before turn out pretty bad when they try to blend real life stuff into game play. Tho the reveal trailer (below) was pretty damn amazing. It will release on Steam and PlayStation 4 in 2019. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Jump Force

Jump Force is a Shonen Jump fans wet dream come true. An evil force, and all their favorite characters unite to fight it. I won’t lie, I am I huge dragon ball fan. Loved everything from The original thru super. This game however to me, just doesn’t need to exist. But I see why it does, there is money in it. And that is honestly all this is, one huge cash grab. I have heard these arguments before, who would win in a fight X character or Y character, and if you go into most comic book stores they will happily explain to you why one or 2 people in this game will probably kill everyone else no issue. But, that being said it looks good, and will most likely play beautifully and at the end of the day that is all the fans will care about, and if there is a beta, I will sign up. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Just Cause 4

download (7)

Just Cause 4, what can be said about this series that can’t be said about this series that can’t be summed up with the fact that I have shot cows up into the air for half an hour for the fun of it. I have waited for bikers to drive by and stuck them to buildings. Why? I don’t really know. See when you give gamers the option to do basically whatever they want, gamers will do the most random things they can think of. Yes we will do the story, but we will do other insane stuff to.

This brings me to Just Cause 4. They have now given us bigger and better ways to do all the messed up things we have all loved to do. Tho they seem to have gone above and beyond in certain areas. The game looks beautiful, as expected, but now we have weather. I know, lots of games have weather. However now we have things like a tornado ripping buildings apart and not just small scale. This is something you can no use to your advantage, just don’t be flying anywhere near it because apparently you will get sucked in. Of course there is a video, and it is below. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Black Desert

Black Desert made its showing at E3 for the Xbox one. Here is that beautiful trailer.

And make no mistake, it does look beautiful. But no need to fear Playstation fans, it isn’t likely to be an Xbox exclusive, at least not for long, as at one point at least there was a PS4 version being worked on. For more details on that and the number of players check polygon.

The other thing to point out is if you look up many of the reviews, they aren’t that great. For example on steam its at about 6/10 and metacritic puts it at a 73 and 7.3. Now to down a game before it comes out, but the game is already out for a fairly substantial amount of time. Is isn’t unreasonable to assume this won’t get any better and there isn’t much reason to get excited about it. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Rapture Rejects Cyanide&Happiness

Look you read the name, so you already know this is going to be messed up. It is exactly what it sounds like. This is a Battle Royale. The rapture happens, those that don’t get taken, kill each other. Last man standing wins. Watch the hilarious and amazing trailer wins.

The Lost Child (PS4)

Ok everyone, first I would like to say a HUGE thank you to NIS America for sending us a review copy. It is always an honor to be chosen to receive one. I like to say thanks up before we get this review started.

Now back to The Lost child, the entire reason you are here. The story is simple in some ways. You are a journalist for an occultist magazine working on a story about a woman about some mysterious deaths in a subway. Suicides to be exact, while investigating these deaths you find yourself on what will become a wild ride as you meet an angel and are chosen to go on a mission from God. And yes, I do mean a literal angel and actually god. I won’t go too deep into the story, but it wont take long for this story to branch from being a simple Angel leading you to fight demons and fallen angels and capturing them using a weapon known as a Gangour to turn them into allies and becoming an all out battle with evil deities and so much more. You will question Heaven and Hell and everything between at times. The story alone is worth checking this out.

The visuals are beautifully crafted with both battles and exploration taking place in a first person art style, here is an example of the combat system.

The turn based combat functions amazingly, at no point did I feel winning or losing was a matter of anything other than my own personal skill and preparation. There are over 100 astrals you can choose and well over 200 moves to learn and customize your astrals with, and they pretty much are all viable for some sort of use whether it be helping unlock chest that are locked with traps, buffing your characters, healing or attacking.

The sound is another area the game is solid,with each area sounding great. I don’t have a lot to add here except I know many of you like to choose between the English or Japanese voices in your games when they come west, and for you I have some great news. That is an option for you. You not only will be given the option at the start but the in-game option menu will also let you choose.

The game is not perfect, but let’s be honest no game is. The Lost Child doesn’t reinvent the wheel as they say. At its core this is still a turn based RPG, and while I LOVE them and this game, and even the first person art style many people don’t. I understand this and I am 100% sure NIS America does. This game isn’t for everyone. If you aren’t a fan of the genre this game probably won’t be the game that wins you over. Many of the NPC characters are pretty bland characters and are very forgettable. In fact I’m not even sure if many of them are the same person in different spots or if they are just the same people moving around the area, and they have names like “nerd” and “maid” This isn’t to say they were lazy, far from. This is actually pretty par for the course in the genre and some of you may not like it. However fans of the genre expect this.

However we now come to why you are all here, should you buy this? wait for a sale? or just exorcise this demon back to the depths of hell? Honestly the answer is simple. This is a solid 8/10. And I honestly will probably never give a game a 10 on this page because that implies a level close to perfection I don’t think exist in gaming.I happily recommend buying this one. I will put a small asterisk on my buy recommendation tho. That only goes for fans of Japanese RPG’s. Everyone else is going to want to watch a few videos or streams and proceed with cation. This is an amazing game, but it is also made for a certain fan base.
