What's up PB,

So I just wanted to drop some random bits (giblets if you will) because I kind of mentioned them last time. Like the Fragile Dreams mini reveiw.Well in a nut shell just like most of the reveiws I read it has great art and character design. Beatiful music, good writing and voice acting for the most part. What kills this game is really bad controls. Not broken but pretty damn rough. Enough that it made me get agrivated enough to just quit playing. But thats just me. Its a real shame because there is lot to like here. It just feels like they ran out of time or were not too expirenced with this style of gameplay.

I have also put a little time into The Deadpool game. I am a fan of the character and his comics and as far as staying true to the flavor of Deadpool the game it is a dead ringer. The gameplay is good but can get a little repetitive. If your keen to old school Devil May cry with a touch of Arkham Asylum, and the ability to teleport short distances then you will likely enjoy it. You can use melee and start with double katanas but you can buy sais and battle hammers. As you would expect the katanas are balenced, the sai are quick, and the hammers hit hard. As for Guns you start with duel pistols, but you can buy shot guns and I think a rocket launcher. And there are grenades and traps too. Worth a rental for sure if your a fan.

Other than that I have been revolving around Borderlands 2, Gran Tourismo 5, and Skyrim. I needed a break from all the shooting and slashing so I knocked the dust off of GT5 after not touching it for over a year. I got back in the groove by replaying all of the license test and trying to get silver and golds. First time through I settled for bronze just to get through them. Got most to silver at least and a few golds. Won some races and bought some cars and tuned some stuff up. I know some people get intimidated by this game and I am not a gear head at all but I get a kick out of this game. You can get really techy and hard core with it or keep it as simple as you want.

As for Borderlands 2, I have been trying to get my Psycho leveled up. Currently at lv54 working for lv72. I have to say he is a lot of fun to play with. He is all about mob control and insane amounts of melee damage. Sounds wierd for that to be a strong focus in a shooter but it works and it works beautifully. His ability Buzz Ax Rampage is similar to Bricks Berzerker skill in the first game. For a short time he heals, gains damage reduction and gets a 450% bonus to melee damage. If you get the cap stone in his Mania tree you can go incredible Hulk on the baddys if you wait until your health is 33% or less before triggering Buzz Ax Rampage. The main two perks are your Bonus to damage is now 850% to melee and your Buzz Ax Rampage will not need to cool down after you change back like it would normaly allowing you to hulk out as often as you want when your health is low.

Other than that it has been a beatiful first week of May, my favorite month of the year. I just really like spring and plus my birthday is this month. And the weather has been mild and no rain, can't ask for more. Any how thats all I know, as usual thanks for reading and dealing with my half ass editing. lol  Laters and peace!

May the Fourth be with you and I'll wish you a happy birthday when it comes up.

Posted on May 5, 2014 12:44 AM

Yep, you can wish us both a hippo birdie since we were both born on the same day, just a couple of decades apart. :)

Will do, so long as you remind me by posting a blog.

Been wanting to get the Deadpool game.  One day it will happen.

Posted on May 5, 2014 2:04 AM

Yeah some of the reveiws I read were overly harsh. Its not a bad game at all, Highmoon did a good job with it. Just don't expect anything revolutionary. Its pretty by the numbers, well other than the crazy Deadpool antics.

I really wanna play borderlands but my console of choice for it is still not in my hands yet. It might seem weird but Id prefer it play it on a PS3. I also thought of giving deadpool a try, but just havent yet. if i see it cheap ill grab it. I dont use any rental services anymore since blockbuster stopped working well for me.

There is a handy glitch that only works in the PS3 version that lets you get unlimited gold keys for the special chest located in Sanctuary. Totally worth opting for vs 360. Also the Game of the Year Eddition is a steal and I have feeling it may get cheaper come fall with the new Pre-Sequel thing coming out. I went with the pre-order and payed way too much before all is said and done.

Nicole if you have psn plus you can get Borderlands 2 for free didnt know if you knew that or not. :)

Lee Im gonna buy the GOTY edition that has a majoirty of the DLC. Normally I would grab something like that but Im gonna  wait.

Put Deadpool on my wishlist. I've heard it's not bad and really funny.

I'm thinking about playing as the Psycho in B2 tomorrow. I picked up all the DLC in a sale a few weeks ago. Want to play the Mechromancer as well.

Posted on May 5, 2014 6:01 AM

 Yep. The Deadpool game was surprising amounts of fun, but I would never recommend it at full price. It's pretty repetitive and not really all that long.

Posted on May 7, 2014 6:26 PM

I'll pick it up on the cheap for sure.

Posted on May 5, 2014 12:25 PM

The Mechromancer is still my favorite of all the classes. She has a lot of flexability in the kinds of build you can run her with.

 

Posted on May 7, 2014 6:27 PM

I'm going to try that one and maybe pull out the commando again. I like using turrets.

Posted on May 6, 2014 2:46 AM

I thought you had put Borderlands 2 to bed lol. It's amazing how much time you've put into that game.

Posted on May 6, 2014 12:28 PM

Well, I have tried, but I always end up coming back.lol  I'm still not close to completing all the challenges or maxing out all my characters, so its still in rotation. Trust me there are folks who have me beat by long shot with time spent in this game.
