Super Smash... I mean All-Stars, Yeah!

Okay, let's totally drop the fact that Playstation All-Stars plays so much like Super Smash. I mean I can literally point out all of the similarities but I'm not going to because this blog isn't going to be about that. Instead, I'm going to talk mainly on most of the characters that I've played and actually liked, piss all over the ones I dislikes, and continue to tell you how much I enjoy watching Hades get demolished by two-dimensional creatures with pitchforks singing a cute little tune.

After playing through some of the characters that I actually know, I found Raiden to be my best. He' quick, he's got good range on him, and his third phase is freaking hilarious. Yeah, he's not that strong, however, that makes up for Colonel Radec. He might not be that quick when it comes to attacks, but boy he can sure bring some heavy damage. I also really enjoyed his third phase too.

Raiden's main special is that all of the characters are hidden underneath boxes with several other boxes added too. You must search and attack your enemies as they are crawling around with boxes covering them. Radec's special is more like Solid Snake's special in Brawl where he takes control of the entire screen and start shooting at his enemies. I prefer his more over Raiden's because at least I can get more kills that way rather than just finding everyone. However, with Raiden's special, the enemies aren't going to try to run away from you, they're pretty much immobile, despite that the computer is making them move sluggishly around for you to be skeptical about.

My boyfriend chose Kratos, and Nathan Drake, although Drake isn't that much liked by him as he does with Kratos. With Kratos... goddamnit, they made him cheap in certain ways that pisses me off. I understand that a lot of people like this guy but come on... he's got long range, he's got powerful attacks, his third phase, if you perform this well enough, can give you so many kills... It's unbelievable on what this guy can do and honestly, I feel like he's one of those "broken" characters. I haven't gotten around in playing online yet, do I dare say that there are many Kratos users out there?  With Drake's, he's an average at best, but his first phase special is pretty weak. You basically have to time this perfectly well in order to do some heavy damage with it, otherwise, you just wasted it entirely. You also have to make sure it's at the same level as everyone, since the terrain of each level tends to change every so often.

That's the best thing about this game, unlike Super Smash, the background can literally change within a few minutes to something completely new. I mean you're in the Underworld at one moment, Hades is interacting with you guys by stunning you every so often. Then out of nowhere, these one-eyed, two-dimensional creatures with pitchforks comes down and begins attacking Hades, while also attacking you guys as well. These levels change between two games put together, and they really blend in well together.

My only complaint with this game is the constant annoying introductions that these characters have. Yeah, you can obviously skip them whenever you want, but if I have to hear Nathan say that he's not in Shambhala anymore, oh man.... It's funny the first two times, but then... that's when you want to beat the game with him in Arcade mode just to unlock more of his intros so you don't have to hear that again.

Oh, I didn't talk about the characters that I deeply didn't care for. I didn't get a chance to play as Sack Boy, but after watching my boyfriend play as him, I saw that he's nothing but a weak freaking character that can't do that much at all. And it's not like the boy wasn't trying, he really was. Sack Boy proved to be a useless character. Maybe over time, he could prove that he's worth playing as, but as of right now, the only thing I'm interested in with Sack Boy is mainly racing with them. The other character that proved to be really, really worthless was one that I played... Nariko. I'm sorry, as much as I really liked Heavenly Sword, I would have preferred her sister Kai over her. Nariko hardly did anything for me. I get that her first phase special is like Nathan's where you have to time it perfectly to connect, but hers is so slow, her second one isn't that much of an improvement either. I never managed to make it to phase three because that's just how much she sucked. Even with her attacks... Going from Raiden with 12 kills in a matter of three minutes to Nariko getting -4, that's horrible.

I will say, when I get the chance to own this game, I'll totally buy it and sit down and get to know more of who I'm good with, so I can't really go on much further. I mean I only got to play this game twice within a matter of two days and out of those two times, I really felt that Raiden and Radec were honestly the best characters out of the entire game. You guys might think otherwise, however, I found my calling with these guys, I've done the most damage and gotten the most kills with them... I think I found a good game so far.

Now... will I get to see familiar faces with DLC soon, or will we be disappointed?

Metal Gear Phantom Pain?

So, recently there's been this new trailer for a game that's called "Phantom Pain," it shows two guys trying to escape from this hospital where gunmen are entering in it and killing all the patients around them. If you guys watched this trailer, you'd probably think that it's not Metal Gear because it's so different than most of the other games that they've released:

There's only one thing that's kinda bugging me about this whole thing and that is clearly...

 The main character:

 The main guy of Phantom Pain, where at times we can actually see him, has a bandage around his face and a hook for a hand. He can hardly use his legs in this trailer because of the injuries he sustained from wherever. But if you look closely at the end of the trailer for Phantom Pain and take a look at Big Boss for Ground Zeroes, you can see a huge resemblance:

 Big Boss from Ground Zeros, looking quite older than what he has looked like in previous MGS games.

What the mysterious, injured man looks like in this trailer

Here's one more, of a much better shot for you:

 They look nearly identical don't they? But earlier in the Phantom Pain trailer, we see the main character having a hook for a hand. Does Big Boss have one?

No, he doesn't. This is what Big Boss looked like in Metal Gear Solid 4, having both hands intact. So what does this actually mean? It could mean that we're either in some dream of his, or he's hallucinated or something, but no, Big Boss doesn't have a hook for a hand.

Where would this have taken place? We already know how Big Boss got his eye taken out, thank you Ocelot, guy if this guy has his eye bandaged, then where does this take place? Did he re-injure it somehow? People were also mentioning that this could have been taken place during the Les Enfants Terribles, but then what's all of these killings going on? Who's the man that's helping the main character out?

Well, that's the only thing that is bothering me with this trailer, of course I'm not the only one bothered by it... There are other similarities that this trailer shows, such as the similar engine these games both used, the fact that there's a hidden word behind the "Phantom Pain" word when it shows, Moby Dick Studios is a company NO ONE has ever heard of...

Also, the texts that are popping up throughout the Phantom Pain trailer... take a deeper look at it...

Kills Count To Your Manhood, Boys

Another Call of Duty blog. I promise this will be the last one for a while. So, I'm playing the game online with my boyfriend only this time, no friend (due to work) and we're playing in team deathmatch. We're in a room filled with the most idiotic human beings that I've encountered in the game so far. What I heard from these guys, you honestly couldn't make up.

Of course, first thing these guys see in the lobby is my username. Whenever you see the word "Kitty" you can obviously tell there's a girl hiding behind that name. Unless you're probably one of those guys that likes to get everyone's hype up. They begin doing the most unoriginal thing towards me and start saying my name repeatedly. "Kitty, kitty, kitty. Here kitty. Kitty wanna play?" These guys kept at it, and once they realize that I'm ignoring them and only talking to the boy, they start to play that game where they think whatever I'm saying to someone is also being said to them. I get that everyone who's got a headset can talk to people, but really, shut up.

I'd mute them, however, I have sort of a funny thing about listening to idiots talk. Only to believe that maybe one day I could hear something different from people.

One of these guys just continued to think he'll break me or something by having me talk to him. I wasn't gong to give him or his annoying friends the satisfaction of actually responding to their immaturity. They continue making reckless and pathetic sexual shit towards me that I honestly could care less about. If you're going to try to hit on me, could you ditch anything that has to do with sex?

The guys also directed their attention towards my boyfriend by saying how horrible of a gamer he is, he's "got nothing" on him that's good. Why should I be with someone who can't play a game correctly? I'm better off with a guy who can supply.

I think my favorite one is this: "Kitty, you's boyfriend got less kills dan you. How's dat? You're a girl! Girls aren't supposed to be good in video games! Fuck dat shit!"

Yes, because gender plays a crucial role in how good you are in a first-person shooter.

Oh my goodness gracious, towards the very last round that we managed to play while sucking up the tolerance with these guys, the one that said the girl comment was just getting angrier and angrier. He was getting all pissed off at me that I was ignoring what he was saying, but was telling my boyfriend what he was saying, since my boyfriend put them all on mute. This guy, by the end of the round, was like this: I know you’re fucking hearing what I fucking have to fucking say you fucking bitch. Fuck yo boyfriend and you, you fucking bitch. Your boyfriend has no bawls, you have bawls in your fucking mouth.”

What in the Jebus-titty-fucking-Christ are you angry about? That I ignored every one of you come-ons? That your stupidity actually reached a level I didn't know existed? That you really think you could make me be pissed off at you?

Here's something that everyone should understand. I never take any video game seriously, like a life or death situation, unlike most people do. There's nothing to be angry about. Being frustrated about something is one thing, but being so angry about it, no... There's nothing to get angry about, and next time buddy, if you ever somehow come across this blog, if you really want a girl to pay attention to you in Call of Duty, try acting like a gentlemen, not a mentally challenged lunatic.

Even though that will never, ever happen.

You Mad Br--- Oh Shut UP!!!

I've been playing a lot of Call of Duty recently, and I cannot stop laughing at the people online that I randomly play with. These guys get so angry within a heartbeat, I cannot understand why that is. I'm going to go off on a limb here and tell you all that I don't really give a damn if I'm the best first-person shooter or not, I just like to play. The only time the game annoys me is when the damn lag starts acting up and I know I knifed someone first. However, I don't sit on my couch, screaming into my head set, "You fucking faggot" at least fifty times to one person that got a cheap shot on me.
Here's something I thought was really funny when I was playing with my boyfriend and a few other friends the other day, and I'm not trying to be racist here at all but you have to believe this is somewhat true. We recently discovered that if you're a gay black man, the online folks will love you. The amount of times I heard the words "faggot" and "nigger" pop up was astronomical. I'm not sure if they really truly believe that all the people they play against is black, or they think that the word serves other purposes. I was just hoping that they would change their vocabulary soon. But unfortunately, they never did, which disappointed me because I really wanted to hear something different.

Actually, I take that back, someone actually called me a "fucking slut" because I knifed them in the back while playing "Sticks and Stones." Sorry mate, you left yourself open... I always say that to myself when I get someone with a knife. It's too funny, well for me that is.

I don't know why these two words have to repeat themselves, especially the word "nigger." I can tell when I'm playing against someone that is black because they have a distinct voice, however, when I know I'm playing against a bunch of nerdy ten-year-olds, there's no way one of them has to be black, so using the word "nigger" serves absolutely no purpose. And even when there is a black person in the game, they honestly don't get offended by it, why? Well, simple, they obviously don't take shit from other people, just like me.

I've been called a "bitch" before all because I was in the lead as a very low level. I'll admit, it's really fun taking any of the top three places while being an extremely low level user, and it probably hurts a lot of people's feelings when they see that. But you know, calling me a "bitch" because I'm better than you doesn't make any difference whatsoever, nor does it bother me. It just shows that you can't handle someone being better than you. It's quite laughable to hear the mad reactions from these users becuase honestly, they get so fucking pissed off that it's great. I just sit back, put my headset on mute, and just hear all the shit these guys throw out of their mouths. At times I want to respond to them, but I know it's totally not worth it because I know how it's going to go down:

I say something that makes them aware that they're getting so angry over a video game, they'll either respond back to me that I'm a fucking whore who needs to go back into the kitchen or just shout some more profanity with them thinking that it's really hurting my widdle feelings.

When I hear something that's absolutely original is when I'll actually start caring about the name callings, but I haven't heard anything new from any of these guys. When you overuse the words "fuck," "faggot," "bitch," "nigger," and "asshole," they really don't affect me that much as you think it should be. I just normally shake my head, laugh a bit, and go hunt down some more people who have a hard time understanding that it's just a game.


I have yet to hear anyone use the phrase, "you mad bro?" I'm waiting for someone to use it... or is this the wrong game to hear that?

Twilight Ruined Vampires... Obviously.

It's sad to see such a cool race go down in history as a mockery all due to some love book girls are so mad over. I don't understand the success over Twilight, maybe it's because I was never a fan and never will be. So some whimpy, skinny white boy who happens to be a vampire is suddenly in love with a human. That's all I know about Twilight, oh, and there's some weird love triangle, of course, going on with some wolfman. Ugh, damnit! This is ridiculous, I can't enjoy any games that has vampires in them all because of this shitty book.

The series that I can no longer enjoy anymore is the Legacy of Kain series.

Back in the 90s, this game was freaking cool, getting to play as a vampire, sucking blood from humans and kicking ass. And then when they introduced Raziel to the scene, oh ho, you're an undead vampire sucking souls from your jawless body. Raziel was one of the coolest characters I've ever played in the past, and now, all because of this damn book, I can't enjoy my time playing any of the games. All I keep thinking is if there's going to be some random twist in the game where Raziel falls in love with a human and try to keep her away from Kain's destruction. However, I know this won't happen because I've played through the entire game before, still, I keep thinking this, and it's pathetic.

Vampires used to be a cool species to play around with becuase they were terrifyingly awesome. I mean, there were so many vampire movies and stories that weren't about some stupid romance between them and a human. But because of this book, it's now being flooded everywhere with love and compassion. They're being overused in the same kind of direction with Twilight as much as the zombies are being overused. Come on, where's the fun in this? I can't find any.

I'm sorry to say this, but I can't find any kind of enjoyment with the Legacy of Kain series due to this book, and it sickens me that I say this because the series used to be my favorite series in the past. Granted that there will never be another game for it (due to several voice actors didn't want to continue and the death of Tony Jay (the Elder God)) still, it never hurts me to play it again just for funzeis, however I can't enjoy it anymore thanks to that stupid book.

Hopefully, this Twilight obsession amongst the fans can fade away by next year. As long as the movies are done for, seriously... I want to enjoy vampires as much as I wanted to again.

Decapitating Confusion Of Zombie Killings

I dunno, I'm debating whether or not it's worth having Resident Evil 6 as a present for me when my birthday comes up. I mean, I am a fan of the series, no doubt about that, but the last two games that recently came out for the series, I wasn't a big fan of them. I'm pretty sure you've all read my review about Operation: Raccoon City, and I haven't really played that much of the fifth game due to the lackluster additions that they provided in the game.

I guess I just don't want to be disappointed again. The game has obviously gone away from what it used to be, I get that, and I'm not really that bothered by it. However, at least don't design the game to where it freaking sucks like the fifth game. I'm sorry, but I was not happy when I found out that they had to censor a few things since the fourth game was that scary towards some people. I didn't like that.

Of course, you can tell that I'm against censorship. So Leon gets his head decapitated by Dr. Salvador, a character I've come to be afraid of when I hear him coming. Now, when Chris or Sheva gets their heads decapitated... you don't see it... at all... why? Because people thought that it was too fucking scary in the previous game to continue having it here.

Seriously? You have games like God of War and Manhunt existing and you think a puny head decapitation is really scary? Okay. I thought that the fifth game was going to double what the fourth had... despite that I'm not that big of a fan of the Redfields. Still, it wouldn't have killed to leave that in untouched.

It's things like that minor detail that makes me want to see if the sixth game is really worth getting into.

Can Never Be Spotted!

I am terrible at stealth games. Let me tell you why:

So, you see that there are soldiers in the area that you're in, and you somehow memorized their walking patterns. However, there's always a chance you'll miss their heads with a headshot, or there's one lonesome soldier standing in an area that you cannot see from where you're standing.

You missed the shot, the soldier gets alerted, tells his comrades around him, and they're on high alert.

You get caught with that soldier that you couldn't see, now you're being chased everywhere until you kill them all, or  you somehow escaped with your life intact.


This ALWAYS happens to me, and yet, I still continue playing these games. Metal Gear Solid is one of those games.Dishonored is another. Tenchu is a perfect example of a game I truly suck at.

Metal Gear Solid is fairly simple in making sure that you don't get caught because the soldiers are on a path that you have to wait until the soldiers turn their back onto you. However, the latest Metal Gear Solid game, the fourth one, things aren't so easy. The soldiers don't have memorized patterns that much, especially in the first act because you're in the middle of a war. No matter where I end up going, I somehow get caught, and it's because those soldiers somehow come out from a place I thought I'd be safe in hiding, but no matter where I go, there's two soldiers that walk around the corner and spot me.

Damnit!

Dishonored, a game I just beat, is another example on why I suck at stealth. You're in a large area with several guards roaming around the area. Of course, you haven't gotte an upgrade with your mask yet, so you can zoom in to get a better look around the place. So, you're stuck aiming really far toawrds a guard. You have less then ten arrows in your hands to shoot at the guards, and of course, somehow you managed to aim at the head and they landed in the torso. The gaurds are on high alert, and just because you're standing still on a rooftop, you get spotted, just like that.

What the fuck!?

Tenchu is  the last game I'll bring in for an example. You're playing as a ninja and have to get to one point of the level to the other without getting spotted, without killing the innocents, avoiding the pitfalls, and just managing to be alive throughout the entire level. I get off gaurd when there's two soldiers around and I don't see the first guy. I mean, I hear him walking around the area, the meter that alerts you if an enemy is near by is flashing and the icon is getting bigger and bigger. But for some reason, I just can't find this guy, but he finds me. So I get spotted, and the "Grand Master" title is officially lost right after there.

Oh Sonofabitch!

Yeap, it's official, I suck at stealth... Probably have happened to you, but hey, these games are still super duper fun to play every now and then.
