The Last of Us 2

The Last of Us was one of those games people knew would be solid. But few knew it would be a must play game before it released. The story alone was great but it was also beautiful. There is also some debate as to of you are even the good guy. (Honestly I don’t think you are) Sure you save the girl, but at what cost? Anyway we have a knew trailer and part 2 and it is magnificent. Enjoy.

Daddy’s Home (2015)

No Savior Gaming hasn’t started reviewing porn..I mean we would of you asked. We respect all art mediums. And we also have not started using one of Barney Stinsons catch phrases. Only he can pull it off, this meme says so.

No, this is the movie with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. With the sequel coming up I figure the first was a good movie to review.

Will has a beautiful wife and 2 great step kids. He has an amazing yet weird job at a smooth jazz station making great money. This buys him a great family vehicle and a large dream home. One small issue. His kids father and wife’s first husband is coming to visit. And that husband is rocking a 5 pack and a motorcycle.

Enter Mark. Look this dude has spent the last like 25 years making most men look ugly as hell. And his character? Dude rides a motorcycle and spent a war smuggling weapons with a helicopter to American allies. At one point Will punches him in the face and he doesn’t move. Yea he is that guy. And he is the most likeable guy in the movie.

The movie itself it great and hilarious. Will and Mark work well together and if you see them in a movie together honestly just watch it. Will plays the perfect suburban dad amazingly from his suit and tie and hair cut and his lectures about how to deal with bullies and Mark? He manages to make Will look like a horrible racist human being while coming off as a nice guy and actually becoming friends with the repairman.

Of course the ending is happy with the 2 becoming friends and a twist to it leading to the sequel that I am looking forward to. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Hunter Call of the Wild

This is not my usual game. I have played a few hunting games in the past but I am not usually a fan. Been hunting a few times and I have enjoyed it. The games I’ve played tho just failed in every way to capture that thrill of hunting. The searching, the excitement of seeing your soon to be dinner. The heart break of a miss and the pure joy of a kill. Until now.

Just to get this out of the way, if you don’t have the patience to simply wander around for 30 minutes or an hour or even longer just following a trail, trying to line up the perfect shot then possibly following it some more if your shot fails to hit its mark and drop your animal quickly, this game probably is not for you.

The game is beautiful. Maybe not the best graphically but the views in the two insanely large areas are nice with plenty to see. Ponds, ridges cabins and more to explore. You can easily spend hours just wandering around seeing what you can find. In fact my first 3 hours playing I shot 4 animals and only because I randomly ran into 3 of them. And yes much like the real world if you wander around making a ton of noise chances are you won’t be seeing much of anything.

Wondering around however is not a waste of time. Tracking animals or finding new sites will actually gain you experience and money to buy better weapons, or an ATV to make travel much easier and trust me. You want the ATV, it is a long walk to across the map on foot. Animals won’t stick around so you will want to park it when you want to hunt. I saw someone in the PC version crash the ATV and have to walk and even crash it into a bear, but I don’t know if the PS4 version allows for it.

At the end of the day tho if you like hunting or even just relaxing in a massive open world by all means give this game a shot, but if you like more action this game is not for you. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

5 Horror Movie Logic Mistakes?

This is just a simple list of 5 things about many horror movies never sat right with me.

1. Where are all the damn guns?

This is largely an American issue really. But I live in a country that legitimately has more guns than people and more ammo than people in the world just laying around. That isn’t even a joke. Many Canadians think we shoot them out of T-Shirt guns at ball games. We don’t, but we could. Yet most horror movies is missing any real gun supplies.

2. Why the hell does everyone split up?

I don’t even feel bad when these people die. Every horror movie some idiot decides hey, we are being hunted by some deadly monster/creature/beast or whatever. Lets split up. Because making things far more even for whatever is trying to kill you makes the most sense.

3. Why do so many people shoot deranged killers one time?

So here is the scenario. Some deranged psycho killer has murdered half your friends, and is coming for you. Why do so many killers shoot this guy/girl/thing 1 time then stop? If you ever find yourself in the situation don’t stop until the ammo runs dry people.

4. Looking for the creature?

This move always seemed like high grade stupidity. Whelp some random creature is attempting to kill everything. Our options are leave town, hide or go searching the wilderness or hospital or whatever for this thing. And they always pick the lets go searching option.

5. Sex.

Yea I’m not posting a sex scene sorry guys. But why do most horror movies seem to have one of two sex scenes. Either the early movie one that is fine because shit hasn’t hit the fan yet or the 2nd one. The 2nd one is always random and weird. Hey half our friends are dead, killer is running around or some demon is out there. Lets sneak off for a quick one and never be seen again.

So that is my list. Feel free to add or disagree and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Zombi (PS4)

First a story with this game, I bought it awhile back because it looked interesting. Like 2 weeks later it became the free game for the month. This pissed me off even more than I already was with the game.

The game has sub par visuals, the controls are a bit stiff but passable. Neither of these issues are that big of a deal but are worth mentioning tho for most people they won’t even be an issue.

The concept itself is pretty interesting. Trapped in London during the zombie apocalypse (I’m really getting sick of typing that this month) you will explore various historical locations and other places to find supplies and weapons to move the story along and escape.

Another really cool part is what can only be described as semi permanent death. If your character dies that character is simply gone. You however won’t start the game over. Any items you have stored will still be stored and any progress you made will still be there. You simply get a new character. Your old stuff is actually still with your old character whom is now a zombie at your old location that you can kill and get your stuff back. If running from zombies wasn’t bad enough and nerve wracking having to basically beat yourself to death is pretty sadistic to say the least.

In the end I personally did not enjoy this game and would not recommend it. Others I know thought it was ok, but at the very least you should find it on sale for as cheap as possible. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Bubba the Redneck Werewolf

First thing first, this movie is in no way shape or form to be taken seriously. If you couldn’t tell by the name the opening song will quickly prove that. This is a only a horror movie in the sense that there is a werewolf and the Devil. It is truly a comedy first.

Bubba is just a guy that lives at way out past the corner of the middle of nowhere and you got a purdy mouth. He works at a dog kennel, misses his girlfriend and is not man enough to keep her. He doesn’t even own proper scissors to maintain his cut off flannel shirt. Least that is what his ex woman’s new man tells him right before knocking him out.

Bubba knocks back a few drinks, and makes a deal with the devil. To be the strongest toughest guy in the city with a full head of hair. He is more than happy to wake up as a werewolf.

After some weird antics that nobody even finds odd like ripping out a robbers eyes or knocking another robbers head off with the first robbers arm. Tho the bar keep gets a bit pissed about the mess when he eats the robbers…Fine with the eating part. Pissed about the mess.

Mean while since hell is full the Devil is making deals all over town and collecting souls in Florida, which is apparently normal in Florida. Even in real life weird stuff happens in Florida.

Some of the highlights of weirdness is a random zombie apocalypse that isn’t quite what it seems that results in probably around 20 or so deaths, poor Todd Hu getting his head punched in due to an old Abbot and Costello skit and what can only be described as bestiality. Regardless if you like the horror comedy genre it is worth a watch. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Shaun of the Dead

When I first started watching this movie I thought this will be beyond stupid. About 8 minutes later I knew I was wrong. I imagine an actual zombie apocalypse would be similar to this movie.

Two idiots essentially wake up one morning, and don’t even realise it has started. Maybe on honest mistake. Maybe they were just to dimwitted and oblivious to notice. We may never know.

So after they finally realise whats going on and the 3rd roommate dies, becomes a zombie and dies again. A plan comes to fruition.

And yes that is essentially the story of the movie. Everything between there and the end is simply a roller coaster ride of comedy entertainment intertwined with what is legitimately a very well done story of love and friendship. A classic horror comedy that should not be missed. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Fallout 4 Game of the Year Disappointment?

First a disclaimer. I am not simply taking a shot at Bethesda. They just happen to be the first company I have experienced doing this. I have no doubt others have done this, and if they haven’t they soon will. And it is a slap in the face to customers in my humble opinion. Feel free to comment others that have done this tho.

Anyway, this week I bought the game of the year version of Fallout 4. I picked up the original when it first released, really enjoyed it as did my daughter. Beat it, traded it in bought some new stuff and figured I would do the usual and buy the GOTY edition when it came out. Did this with Fallout 3 and New Vegas, did this with the Elder Scrolls games as well. I have also done this with other companies games that I enjoyed. I never have it in me to wait for all the DLC to trickle out anyway plus they have always just tossed it all in the disk and I like that.

Flash forward to this week. Figure pick it up, me and my daughter can bounce it between systems ( I own a PS4 pro she has my old PS4) and enjoy. I pop that bad boy open and install. No DLC installed. That’s annoying but hey maybe its pretty big and it sort of unlocks and I download it..no. Shoot maybe I missed something on the case..nope a few passes and I see nothing. This shit is hidden if its even there.

I’m hoping I’m wrong. Don’t tell me Bethesda did this to me. Yea. Right there where they used to stick instruction manuals is a code on a card for the season pass. The GOTY edition is literally nothing more than the base game in a new case with a code for the season pass. Suffice it to say this is the most disappointed I have ever been in a GOTY edition of a game. Sure if you don’t own the game its a good deal, but it is a huge disappointment if you do or still like games on a disk. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Survival of the Dead (2010)

Survival of the dead is one of Romero’s last movies, and hey maybe it is because I am old and stuck in my ways but I still prefer the good old fashioned slow moving shoot em in the head zombies. I mean I get it, times change. And I don’t hate the modern zombies. The classics just do it for me. I love that classic feeling of being over run by an ocean of the dead as opposed to watching people be chased down.

This time around the main part of the story revolves some Ex United States military members that went AWOL and stumbled upon another man also robbing people near an island by Delaware when he tricks them into thinking he would help them get to the island as a means to escape the zombie horde.

As it turns out they rob people, send them to the island and unknown to them when they send people to the island the people there kill them. Yes everyone in the zombie apocalypse is an asshole.

What follows is a tale of revenge and a game of one upmanship revolving around being a complete dick to other people. Who is willing to kill their own people when bit? Who is willing to rob people? Shoot strangers? Romero once again does an amazing job setting up his world to seem like real people acting like they may act in a real apocalypse type scenario.

The movie isn’t the best looking but it doesn’t need to be. It does an amazing job at setting a tone of both needing to survive and dread that it may not be possible. It is another worthy addition to the name Romero. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Organ Trail PS4

A while back I wanted to play a game from my childhood. Oregon Trail. The original by the way not the 4 million sub par versions that came after. That is when I stumbled on this and figured why the hell not.

The game plays just like Oregon Trail. You pick a vehicle, in this game you start with a car. Buy some supplies with your limited money and head out to travel across America with whatever you choose to name your party. I recommend Romero because hey its a zombie game and there is a trophy involved if you make it with him alive.

As you travel you will have to make an assortment of decisions such as how to pass a horde of zombies or what to buy in a town or what upgrades to buy with your limited money. You can also choose to help or ignore odd jobs.

While the game is simplistic in both sound and visuals it is still fun if you were a fan of Oregon trail, and the co-op is a nice time kill as well. Give it a shot, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
