It dawned on me I haven't really replayed all the God of War games on PS3, and I thought I'd add the first two Skylanders games to the list for trophy hunting reasons, and... REASONS!
2013 is really the start Console Generation 8, but to me it's still Gen 7 because the Xbox One and PS4 came out late in that year, and I didn't get either one until maybe a year later. Yes the Wii-U was out in 2012, the 3DS and PS Vita in 2011, but it really felt like Gen 8 fully to me in 2014. So this is the last year I'll review until I get past all the Gen 7 systems in my retro journey this year.
So I kinda like going trophy hunting in games, but I hate how I have to look up what some of the descriptions mean and that I can't track my progress. I thought you meant jump 100 meters 8 times from a tall building as Batman, how was I supposed to know you meant his car when you didn't specify what was supposed to be jumping? In fact, that whole thing would be a lot less frustrating if you told me I completed 1/8 or 7/8 of the jump so I wouldn't be in the dark as far as where I'm at.
Pixlbit Nation how are you on this fine Friday Morning? I’ve been stop and go this morning, which included a trip to the local Starbucks for a croissant for breakfast. While there I five folks on laptops and one random dude with an iPad and headphones. I think he was watching something interesting, while everyone else was pretending to be doing some work. I couldn’t do much there, its too noisy, and I would just feel awkward, but that’s just my opinion. Since it is Friday, let’s get some Quick Hits started, before I make my way out to find some Fish and Chips.
I thought I'd take an intermission and do something a bit different than the BrokeLeg Blog.
Whoa. Fuck me. I emptied my mailbox, come back 2 a day later and have 92 messages. How the hell am I going to keep up with all of these blogs?!
Lots of games provide a main story that lasts ten or less hours that I can say I finished in 2013. Some I still didn’t finish in that time, but at ten hours, I’d say I was interested enough to spend a weekend or two playing them and for that they deserve a mention.
I got stuck in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team trying to find Big Masiff but I think I figured it out. You have to use the Luiginoids to bat a bomb towards a target. I was just letting the bombs bounce off me to no effect. I think I just have to hit the bomb with the Luiginoids at the right moment like a baseball with a bat. I’ve seen several baseball references in this game and it makes me think of the Japanese infatuation with that sport.
The comic Last of Us #3 came out today and I read it. Finally most of the major players of the game are present, the Infected and the Fireflies. Both the art and story are very good. The game still hasn't risen in my interest to more than a curiosity. I have the Last of Us demo that came with God of War Ascension that's still sitting shrink wrapped on my TV table. Maybe when I play that it'll move up to a must buy.
I got the Collector's Edition at Launch and have been enjoying it immensly. This entry is not anything special. If you love God of War then it's good, Otherwise if you happen to be a new comer to the series, your best bet is to spend your money on the hd release of god of war 1 and 2. I haven't played 3 yet so I can't testify to how much better it is, but I've played all the others.
Well here I am on PixlBit, a former blogger, Xcite79 on 1up. Not only that but I am now in USA. I been back for just over a week now. I been just hanging with the family and as for gaming, I been playing a lot of Dead Space 3. I am currently on Chapter 17. The only other games I played is Little Inferno and New Super Mario Bros U. I have a lot of other games to play. A lot that has been waiting for me and those I got through the mail since then...
Sony's press conference this year started off with a bang with a video that served as an overview of what would be shown. The video featured a stable of first party titles as well as some functionality announcements. Assassin's Creed III and Far Cry 3 also made their presence known.
Details about the upcoming prequel in the God of War series have surfaced and chief among them is the inclusion of multiplayer. A full description of this new addition to the series can be read here. I had a feeling that this might happen and I know it makes sense from a business perspective but I just have to ask the question: do we need multiplayer in a God of War game?
