Most Frequent Questions Asked

Every now and then, I'd be getting questions from friends and such about certain games I've play. I thought I would share to you what questions I normally get and how I answer them.

1.) What is your favorite game of all time?

"I don't have a favorite game of all time. For me, there isn't a game that is better than the other because there's so much to look into. I can't say that Metal Gear Solid is better than Mortal Kombat because they're two different games from genres to characters to stories... I don't have a specific game that is my all-time favorite, but I do have favorite series of games."

2.) What was your first game ever played?

"For a while, I was under the impression that Sonic the Hedgehog was my first game. But then looking deeper, it was Mortal Kombat."

3.) What game is the most hated on your list?

"There is this snowboarding game I bought for fifteen dollars at Gamestop called Dark Summit. I'd like to explain to you what it's about but even when I Google it, nothing comes up."

4.) Why is Metal Gear Solid your favorite series of all time?

"If you've played the series, you'd understand my reasoning. There's just so much about these games that I feel that it is literally the best series out there for anyone to play. I mean, what goes into making one of these games is just astronomical, I can never find anything I dislike about the series. I mean seriously, there is no problem that I can find when I'm playing these games."

5.) Do you play any other fighting game besides Mortal Kombat?

"Honestly, I've tried getting into Street Fighter and Soul Calibur, but I couldn't. I can't pull off specials or combos. I'm not going to say that these games suck or anything like that. But I just don't have the patience to learn all of these moves."

6.) Ever been scared by a video game?

"Who hasn't? Haha. Yeah, there's been moments where I've gotten scared by something in a game, mostly from Doom and Resident Evil."

7.) What is your favorite boss fight?

"The award goes to "The End" from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. This boss fight was just beautiful. I mean it really made you want to get this guy because he's hiding from you, sniping you down but isn't killing you at all. Yet, you want to defeat him. He's this one-hundred something year old hunter that has you playing this game in three giant areas in the forest. Even when he manages to find you, the screen turns into a first-person view from his point and BAM! Truly awesome."

8.) Most hated boss fight?

"Ugh, I had to admit this, but it's Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat 2011... Story mode Kahn, not arcade. Arcade is simple. But in story mode, you fight against him with Liu Kang and then Raiden at the end. Two characters that I don't play that much with. I liked that story mode in this game made you play as different characters, but I really didn't enjoy myself playing as Kang or Raiden when fighting against skullhead here. Plus, they wanted to make him cheap on purpose to give you this intimidating feeling when going up against him. My feelings were just that I wanted to kill this bastard and let it be the end of it."

9.) What is your favorite first-person shooter game?

"Perfect Dark. Nuff said. Then Dishonored."

10.) Is Lara Croft a perfect role model for women?

"In my opinion... No."

Grand Theft Auto 5

Well of course I was going to write a blog about this game, but I was waiting for the right time to do this. So, I haven't beaten the game, but I kinda get the hint on what you're supposed to do at the end, I'm not going to spoil anything because the game is still fresh so you're all lucky this time.

Characters

So, let's talk about who you play as first, shall we? You get to play as three characters: Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. My personal favorite is Michael, mainly because he reminds me a lot of Tommy Vercetti from Vice City, and of course I have to like Trevor. Who doesn't? Franklin has his moments, but they're not as memorable as Trevor's randomness or Michael's random outbursts with his family.

When you choose to another character, you get them to be at some random location doing something random. I think the best so far is Trevor waking up on a railing in his underpants and combat boots. I didn't even have him dressed as that, he just randomly dressed like that. Michael tends to be around his car a lot and Franklin either plays with his dog Chop or gets drunk.

There's one thing I wanted to mention about a supporting character: Jimmy DeSanta, Michael's son:

When I was playing this game from the beginning, Michael's son Jimmy sounded very familiar, so I had to look up the name, and I was right all along. He's voiced by Danny Tamberelli, the kid who got his fame from All That and Pete and Pete.

Missions

The missions are awesome. I really enjoy going on heists because it's not like the others where you just get a gang at random and go right for the bank. You get to choose who you want to go based on what you want. Do you want a gunman who can shoot quite well or poorly? Do you want a hacker that can get the job done or messes up a bit? Depending on how well they are based on the percentage you see, the more money you get to whip out to them after the job is finished. However, you can always be cheap and stick with the poor guys. With me, I want to get the job done, so of course I am going to pick the guys that can hold their own during these heists.

I love that you can replay the missions to get a better rank. You get a copper, silver, or gold rank depending on your actions during the mission. Get a lot of headshots, do some random stunts, complete within this time, be the first to finish the line all plays a great part in getting a better rank. And if you feel like you want to do better, like I said, you have the option to go back and replay these missions.

Los Santos

All right, I'm getting this out there, this whole area is fucking huge. If you were to put this city out in real life, Los Santos would be as big as New York City. This is a giant city, it literally takes you real life minutes to get to a certain spot depending on where you need to go. I had to take five minutes of my real time to get to a mission halfway across the city. It's huge, and I am glad that there are no barriers restricting you to a particular part of the city unlike the fourth one did. I was never a fan that you had to unlock parts of the city to progress. With this game, you just have the giant place in your face! Bam!

I really enjoy driving through the woods, seeing the wildlife and tasering cows... but not enjoying that Trevor keeps getting mauled by cougars.

My One Issue

There's only one problem I have with this game, and it's not that I can't access GTA Online well. It's the damn police. Before, the cops were not that much of an issue in the previous games, they were quite easy to get away from... But with this game, I really haven't liked cop chases. 

First off, when you run away from them, you're immediately bumped to a two star wanting, which I don't get. In the fourth game, the only time you get bumped to a two start wanting is if you're already putting your arms up when a cop draws his gun on you and you begin to run away from them. With this, it's just when you drive or walk pass them, they're immediately firing at you. 

Another problem is the actual car chasing. They are annoying. They don't stop ramming their cars into you and I cannot stand that. Cars already have an issue of acting really heavy, you can't really back into a cop car thinking that you can just push it away when they have you pinned. No, your car stays there and is pinned down and you cannot get out. They will get you pinned eventually.

Losing them is also an annoyance. You don't really have that much of an area to get out of in order to lose the cops. You just have to keep driving and work your way around areas that are off the map such as allies or fields. You have to drive in areas you wouldn't think a cop would drive to in order to find you. That's how you lose them. Once you have them questioning where you're at, you'll just see the cop's search cone moving all over the map. Just don't get yourself caught in that cone, otherwise it's back to running away from them.

And that's really my issue with this game.

Worthy Enough To Get It?

You damn better get it.
