I Spoke Too Soon, But I Became A Farmer Instead

So, my Playstation wasn't fixed from it's reading issue, so it's back in the shop, delaying my Borderlands 2 play even more. But you know what? Tilling made it okay for me to not play the game for a while. You see, I'm going to be in some sort of WoW frenzy for quite some time, at least until the game begins to grow more of a tiresome towards me, and I have no idea when that's going to take place. However, it's not going to stop me from enjoying so much of the new features Mists of Pandaria shows. 

The level cap is now 90, which is okay, so I get five more levels being added. However, I'm not really going to be digging the priests' new move. Void Shift. It's where me and some other player switch health bars for a moment. What? How is that supposed to help me when I'm not in a raid? Damnit, once again priests gets the suckier part of new additions. They never get good looking gear, and I really don't want to rely on transmogging all the time because my gear looks like I just walked out of a circus tent.

A new feature to this game is Tilling. We get to farm, and I found it to be quite an interesting little new feature, despite that I have to wait a day until my scallions grow to its fullness. However, I see that there are a lot of varieties going on with what we can farm, and I cannot wait until my farm grows even larger to experience this.

I am digging the quests and the story behind Mists of Pandaria, they definitely did things much better than Cataclysm. Lets be honest, Cataclysm really just wasn't remotely fascinating whatsoever and it was dreadfully boring. So yes, thumbs up for a new and improve story.

However, I am not digging this double teaming bullshit from the Alliance when I'm trying to do my quests. It seems that the Horde never plays together and the Alliance do. And when they do, they double team the lower leveled characters, mostly a healer and a dps. It pisses me off when I'm facing against a druid and a rogue because it's just not fair. And when you have someone camping the area, making it nearly impossible for you to just quest and not bother them, it just gets so darn annoying.

I hate it when it looks like I'm sucking, but honestly, it's not fair when you immediately attack someone when they just rez and their life and mana meters are down at half full half empty. I'm that kind of player who plays fair... unless you tick me off... then I'll just do the same thing to you if given the chance.

Anyways, yeah, I'm a Blood Elf shadow priest, almost 87 right now. I'm digging what I'm playing, and I WANT MY FREAKING PLAYSTATION BACK!!!

My Playstation Returns!!! WoW!!!!

Today I get my Playstation back into my hands. After getting the disc drive repaired, it's finally time to play Borderlands 2. But there's one problem... Today is the release of World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, and you know what? I got back into the game.

Every now and then I have long breaks of the game because it just grows tiresome, but this time, I think I'm going to be having more time with the game since they have new features that seems like I'll be attached to the game a bit longer than playing it a few weeks or so. Also, I have Borderlands 2, and I really want to play that game... So, I think I might do it where I play WoW for one day, Borderlands the other day and so on and so on.

I'm also kinda in slump, I'm trying to do video reviews now instead of writing them, but I can't come around in making a good review... Well, the first one isn't really a review, it's more of a remembrance of a game series that I truly love and such.

Oh well, I'm sure this little Kitty will get it soo.

Borderlands 2 Comes Out This Tuesday!!!

I'm so excited and completely pissed off at the same time. Borderlands 2, one of three games that I am looking forward to on getting and I won't be able to play it immediately. You see, my Playstation 3 began to act up on me last week. I was playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, wanted to play the story mode a little bit. I got through the first mission and all of a sudden, the characters are not talking to me or anything towards the end of the level. They're standing where they needed to be to finish the level and nothing is happening. So, I decided to shoot them down dead and restart from the checkpoint.

Friendly Fire Will Not Be Tolerated...

Okay I got that, but then the screen just remains frozen on that screen. Okay? So, I had nothing working with the controller and I had to turn off the Playstation from behind with the swtich. After everything restarted and such, I see no CD logo for Modern Warfare. I'm confused. Switched a game, put in Mortal Kombat 2011, and still no CD logo. I was confused more.

My Playstation games that are loaded on the system works fine, Netflix works fine... I waited a day to play another game on the Playstation and still no CD logo. Oh, there's an update for the system, I'll just update my system... No CD logo.

So, I have to wait for the damn thing to get repaired. Thankfully, no yellow light showed, so that's a good thing. However, I can't play my Borderlands 2 game and probably won't at all for this entire week.

Meh, I could potentially go to Six Flags this weekend, so there's a bit more of some happiness inside of me.

These Guys Should Be Included...

With the game that many are claiming to be Super Smash Bros.' copier, Playstation All-Stars, coming out,  I'm not really liking some of the characters that they're dragging in. I think that there should totally be a good handful of characters that are Playstation only characters, or have been for a very long time. Instead, I'm seeing characters that are from this era only, and I don't really find that fair enough that some of the more classic characters aren't being given a chance to shine again.

First off, Crash Bandicoot is nowhere to be found and I strongly doubt he's going to make an appearance in this game. He was last seen on the Playstation 2 and yes, his games were extremely horrible... But given the chance that he could make an awesome comeback, that is if Naughty Dog ever feels the need to get this character back into their hands, we could see an awesome character be apart of the roster.

Lara Croft should also be in there. I mean you have Nathan Drake from Uncharted, why not make every gamers' dream come true and have a tomb raider vs. tomb raider in one game? Not to mention, she was a Playstation mascot herself for the longest time. And she's the kind of character that could really be cool to play as... And that this game needs more females in it besides the Fat Princess, whoever the hell she is.

I know that the voice actor, Phil Hartman, was murdered back in the 90s, but damnit, Blasto was an awesome character in his own little game. Sure, the series didn't go anywhere, most likely because of the death of Hartman,  but I don't think it would be that bad to bring back this character for some nastalgic memories. We have Papparappa and I can't remember the last time we even saw that character.

We could also have Spyro, sure the mechanics could be weird, but I'm sure that it can totally work. Despite that he's a bit butchered in Skylanders, come on, that doesn't look like him whatsoever, we could make him look like what he did during the Playstaton era and be cool again.

Rikimaru from Tenchu is another. I remember Tenchu being really big on the Playstation when the series first came out. He was the cooler ninja and I feel like he could be a great addition to the game as well. Ayame would be something to see too, but I know that with a name like Rikimaru, having a scar, and looking really badass, we'd probably would prefer him.

Raziel from Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. Yeah, despite that Twilight made me lose interest in this series for a while, it's still good to see the half faced undead vampire known as Raziel. Armed with the soul reaver, this guy means business. And it would totally be awesome to see him, or even Kain, (he did came first) to be in this game.



There's a few that I'm not really digging... Kratos has been in a lot of games, we really need him in this one? His last appearance in a different game was Mortal Kombat 2011, unless I did not see another. He's been in so many games under different titles, it's just... tiresome now. You don't see the Gears of War character, Marcus Fenix, being dragged onto other games like crazy. Sweetooth, hmm... I actually don't mind him being in this game. Big Daddy, him either. Nathan Drake, I don't mind. Fat Princess, yeah, I don't know who or where she belongs and for that she needs to get out. I just don't feel the Playstation nostalgia with this. I thought for sure that we were going to see characters that we haven't seen for a while come back into this game.

Maybe, just maybe, we could see some of the characters that I listed? Hopefully, otherwise, I'll get the game and be mildly disappointed.

Big Boss Is Back... Well, Old Boss That Is...

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeros... holy moley did the trailer look stunning! Absolutely stunning! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this in previous blogs, but I am a HUGE Metal Gear Solid fan. The story is creatively well-written, the gameplay never fails, the graphics are always phenomenal... Words literally cannot describe how much I'm in love with the series.

So, a little bit about the trailer that's out. It's eleven minutes long and it doesn't show that much of gameplay... at all really. It first shows a group of soldiers walking around this camp that are holding children in cages. It's believed that these children are being turned into soldiers. The soldiers that are roaming around the camp are members of XOF. They've received several reports of an agent that's being held in Cuba, who has information that could undermine the child training regime. These guys board a chopper to "silence" her. The leader of this pack is a man with a disfigured face, that I've seen some people saying that this could be "Zero." The man that was helping Naked Snake during Snake: Eater since it kinda resembles his look in the ending of Metal Gear Solid 4. I can kinda see it.

The next part shows Big Boss making his way to the base. But this isn't just your average Big Boss, no. He's got the eye patch, he's got the Sean Connery look, he's got the gray hair, and he's back working for Fox. Yeah, that's right, in this game, you get to play as Big Boss again, but you're playing an older Big Boss. Cool huh? The demo ends with him crawling to the base and being spotted by a search light.

It's stated that this game is to be a prologue to Metal Gear Solid 5.

I'm still in awe about this trailer. I mean every single new Metal Gear game they come out with, it looks way more beautiful than the last one. Not saying that the previous Metal Gears are horrible, oh-ho... no way. I've never played a Metal Gear game that I haven't liked... And no, I really never touched the hand-held ones because I don't own a hand-held console.  But wow, the series never managed to disappoint me. I am still touched by the ending of Metal Gear Solid 4. The one-hour length cutscene that features Old Snake and Big Boss together at a graveyard. It made me cry... Yes, the first time I've ever cried playing a video game was watching this hour long cutscene.

Here's the link to the video for Ground Zeros: http://www.examiner.com/video/metal-gear-solid-ground-zeroes-english-subtitled-demo

Check it out when you have the chance!!!
