Another E3 has come and gone, so I thought I’d write a blog about my favorite games and news stories from the show. But before we get to that, I have to rant a little bit. I do apologize in advance, but for the second year in a row I was denied a press pass to E3. So I have to gripe about that a second.
Up until the PS2 days, buying games at retail was a pretty straightforward process. Most games were "what you see is what you get" affairs, where the game you picked up in the store that day was a locked-in, static product for the entire time you spent with it. Now? Not so much.
Happy Wednesday Pixlbit! Hope everyone is having a good week so far. Recently I picked up a few games. The first one I picked up was Ys: Memories of Celceta. This PS Vita game has been on my pickup list for a while. I've been reading so many forums on GameFAQS to justify my decision of picking it up. Luckily I found a used copy at my local GameStop. So I tried it out for a few hours. I know this game is rated high to most people, but I just couldn't get into it. I felt like I needed to know more about the series in order to fully enjoy it. It was my first Ys title so I couldn't relate it to any of the games that are common to it or it's previous titles in the series.
I made so many purchases in February its ridiclous! However Feb was a tough month, it had a lot of good of course but its share of depression and bad. Sadly I love to buy shit when Im down, normally though instead of clothes and shoes like some chicks I swing toward other things like Games, Music, Movies, and Books.
Despite the variety of games classified as brawlers, they typically fall into one of two camps: Those that have deep, complex mechanics and require thoughtful, strategic combat decisions and memorization of enemy tactics, and those that are simple, fun, and generally don’t require a whole lot of thought. These are games like Streets of Rage, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or Musou games like Dynasty Warriors. Senran Kagura Burst falls squarely into this second camp, but that doesn't mean it’s not a unique experience. Senran Kagura Burst is probably the most Japanese game I've ever played, and that’s really saying quite a lot.
Happy New Year everyone! At this time of year I like to write about what games I’m looking forward to playing and reviewing in 2014. Now I know there will still be lots of games announced as the year goes on, but these are what popped into my head at the time.
Sony's Gamescom presentation continued a central theme that's driven the game division's approach for a while now: "Sony <3 Indies!"
I know I've been quiet guys. I'm really wrapped up in my game & dead set on getting it done. I simply want to prove I can contribute something. Having been on disability much of my life there have been many nights where I questioned my own worth and wondered if I could make anything of value. This is the "man's dilehma". We don't feel confident or secure in ourselves unless we're working hard on some kind of project. A man without a purpose or a goal is an empty & sad shell of his former self. Believe me, I know that from personal experience!
I've owned my Vita for almost a year now. I love the system and I've gotten a lot out of it. But one thing that's always gotten on my nerves has been the overpriced Memory Cards.
Those of you who followed me at 1up may remember a blog entitled, "I Feel Like Pissing People Off, So Here's Opinions," which was exactly what it sounded like. Well, I thought it was about time to give a part two to this because well that's just the kind of guy I am.
August is gonna be a crazy month for game releases. Its like lets end summer with a bang in video games!!!! Well even though there are several Id like to pick up Im sadly gonna have to make scarficies. While I dont have to save up the entire ammount for the PS4 in August I need to start saving up for it and atleast have 200 something saved up by the end of the month so that the last bit which will prolly be around 245 can be saved up between September and October. I preordered it off Amazon so I cant put money down on it like someone who preordered at Gamestop. I get paid 3 times in August so that will be achieveable since I can separete bills in 3 ways and save any spare cash up. The games I am for sure getting in August are Dragons Crown and Final Fantasy 14: Realm Reborn. I wanted to get Tales of Xillia, Killer is Dead, The Bureau: Xcom Declassified, and Saints Row 4. I most likely will have to wait though until I know its okay to spend spare cash on them. What are your current buys for August or are you staying away from buying any new games?
I apologize for not being in action. Got to working more in rpg-maker and finally devised a system in which I can finish the project with less agonizing busy work. Aka, I haven't given up on it but truthfully I was coming dangerously close to doing so earlier on. Matt Snee can probably tell you, being a one man studio/developer isn't easy! (Hey,Matt! How is it going?) Be that as it may,everything finally "clicked". It was like a "Big Bang" going off in my skull that gave me all the answers I so desperately needed.
I was reading an article on Game Rant about 3 titles that have been kind of in limbo for a while that might make an apperance at E3. How they came to this info is quite interesting because I went to the site they talked about and it shows whos attending E3 and some show their products when you click on the link for them. Im gonna post a few with their products under their name. The 3 games by the way are Warriors Lair, Beyond Good and Evil 2, and The Last Guardian.
Urgh, after the con I had a few... problems, so i didn't get home till 12 at night.
