I know this isn't breaking news—the story I first saw was posted January 30—but the Deus Ex franchise has apparently been put on hiatus after Mankind Divided failed to meet sales expectations. As a big fan of the series that waited five painstaking years for this sequel, this news is crushing, especially considering how Mankind Divided left the story just hanging there. What if we have to wait another five years? WHAT IF WE NEVER GET ANOTHER? I am very frustrated. And so they can work on Guardians of the Galaxy? *grumble grumble*
Man, it's been a while since I've done a proper update blog. It's been even longer since I've written anything even approaching article quality. The last thing was maybe my Plus10damage Bloodborne review... at the beginning of 2015. Christ. Well, one of my new years resolution is to actually publish an article to the front page rather than finishing a first draft and then shelving them for no apparent reason.
Dishonored, Definitive Edition, AND the first episode of the new Hitman game. I was a fan of the early hitman games, and these are pretty well-reviewed, so I figure... why not? I almost bought Setsuna, but it was still pretty pricy. I'll wait for a more drastic sale on that.
Halloween is fast approaching and Im celebrating technically with my move. Im pretty nervous, however I do feel positive about everything. Im going on a new journey!
Oh! Hello there, sorry to have left this place..........again. :|
So, there's been some E3 stuff, and I'm going to talk about it. If you want a better intro than that, think of some vaguely menacing threat that I'd usually concoct and then follow through with it on yourself.
Grabbed this from PC Gamer site. E3 starts Sunday afternoon with EA then later Bethesda, MS/Sony Monday, Square Enix Tues.
I went back to the same used media shop and they did not have anything new on the shelf. I think that I might make more regular stops, just to see if they get any new NES or even SNES games in. Gamestop has been offering Retro classic on their website at competetive prices, and they still had Crystalis in stock. So, I ordered that and a first-party NES controller. I still don't have the means to play the games, but I am still looking into the clone machines. The Retron 5 sounds appealing to me, I like the idea of playing my GBA games on the big screen.
I couldn't come up with an alliteration for both Friday and something game-themed except fragging, flanking, and I'm not really a huge shooter gamer, so ....
This will be the third iteration of this blog so far this week. I just can't seem to nail down exactly what I want to say. Let me start with what I have been up to and go from there. My wife and I finished up all of the Star Wars movies and it was fun seeing all of the little things that they brought over from all the old ones to Episode VII. I finished up Part 1 in Abomination and took a little break, I hope to get back to it shortly. I have gone indie at the moment, in regards to games. I booted up Knytt Underground and The Adventures of Pip, enjoying both of them. I just wish Pip was on Vita like Knytt. Indie games just FEEL better on Vita. Thankfully Banner Saga is still coming to Vita and Volume was just released. My brothers and I have started to brew beer, and we are about to start our third batch... the one that I am most excited for, a Heady Topper clone. CANNOT WAIT!!!
So 2016 is here and while its looking at the moment to be another promising year 2015 did do well in itself. I think Next Gen did pick up and is finally making good track speed. I also even think the Wii U has done the best by far in itself. If you didnt buy one, then you missed out on some good games. This is my Top 10 list of games released this year.
I have begun to embrace digital distribution. It first started with the Vita and 3DS and came from a place of practicality. I take my handhelds on vacations and trips all the time. I hate the idea of losing any of my games because the cartridges are so dang small. So I have been downloading more and more handheld games over the past few years.
Every once in a while I have a strong desire to sit down and try to write or blog. I just wish that they came around more often. It is rather depressing seeing that the last blog that I posted here was almost six weeks ago, back when I was finishing up Wild Arms.
I just find myself with little that I want to really say in regards to videogames. It is either that, or the fact that it is summer and I get dragged out to New York, Upper Michigan, Chicago and wedding after wedding. I guess I am just busy.
E3 has been good for me this year. I've seen a lot of great things announced. I just hope I can afford it down the road. My job situation isn't bad atm but job searching isn't going so hot. I do have hours which I pray are around for a few months. Anywho here's what I enjoyed most:
