You know, I said that I would be covering stuff for E3 and I failed. I apologize. I was more into Mortal Kombat X than anything else at this show.
Well, since I already announced it, let me go ahead and tell you about this game...
So the trailer opens up with our two iconic characters from the series, Sub-Zero and Scorpion, battling against each other again. This time, they're doing things we've never seen them do before, such as ripping branches off of trees and using them to bash the other's brains out, twirling around on branches like they're a gymnast, and Sub-Zero throws his ice clone. HE THROWS HIS ICE CLONE!
Of course, you have the fatalities looking as beautiful as ever.
We then come across this:
The heck are these guys? There's four of them! Well... (Do note, we got no bios yet, just descriptions!)
Ferra/Torr
The next two character in one fighter. Ferra is the little midget woman who can torture Torr to make him more aggressive in fights, or be used as a weapon for him to throw at opponents.
Kotal Kahn
A god-like warrior who shares similarities to an Aztec god. He is the only known descendant of Shao Kahn (uh oh). He enjoys feasting on blood, so be careful when he's hungry!
D'Vorah
A female bug-like creature. She can fly, throw larva, and is bald. I must say, she is one of the best new looking characters I've seen so far!
Cassie Cage
I am not lying when I say she is the daughter of Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage, you heard me right. She is the daughter of fan fiction that came to life.
As of right now, the only thing about the story for this game is that it's going on a span of 25 years after 2011's story. What will we discover? Most importantly, how is Sub-Zero human when we saw him die as a cyborg? Meh, time will tell.
We're going to have at least the same amount of characters as 2011, and even a bit more, so we're looking at an estimate of thirty characters! I am completely satisfied with that number, especially after hearing that we're going to be introduced to more new characters! Many are puzzled as to what fate lies in store with the favorites, but as I said before, time will tell.
So we have fatalities, we also have the x-rays returning, but we're shown a new feature called Variations. Each character has three different variations for them. It's a change up to their fighting. So let's say you're playing as Scorpion. You have the option to either use summoned demons to use at your disposal, you can be a sword fighter, or you can use the ability of fire to burn your opponent. I say it's much better to have rather than just learning a bunch of combos in the same old stance!
The arenas are also new. We have the Kove, the Outlands Market, and the Frozen Forest to name a few. As of right now the Outlands Market is my favorite for two reasons: You can jump on a tiger, and you can throw an old woman named Blanche at your opponent. Yeah, did I mention that you can use your surroundings as weapons? See a barrel flashing? Just pick it up and hurl it at your opponent! You can even jump off of buildings and objects in the area to escape a possible attack from your opponent! They really did a great job with these arenas, it's much better to have interactive arenas rather than something just for show.
There's so much more news coming that I cannot possibly cover in one sitting. So when we get more news, I'll make sure to update. And I'll do a better job with the updating unlike how I did with the E3 stuff. Whoopsies!
Miis are added with three different types of characters. Gunner, Brawler, Swordfighter. Each with different kind of abilities (duh!) The trailer showing this was really cool, I have to admit. Watching two men in a suit fighting the way they did was really cool.
Amiibo - Only on Nintendo products (they're kind of like Skylanders and Disney Infinity characters), place the toy on the Wii U controller and the figure will appear and evolve in Super Smash. Super Smash is the first game to have this. These guys can either help you fight against other Amiibos, or they can team up with you in the fight.
Also, Plaenta fights.
(I can't stop laughing at this)
Yoshi Yarn
Going into detail as to how yarn is being played into this kind of game. How would you move yarn? Also explains how with Mario games, you have to do certain tasks within a time limit, however with Yoshi Yarn, there is no time limit.
You also have two players. So Yoshi can eat the other Yoshi and use him/her in advantage to the levels.
Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker
It's like a 3DS Mario game, except you're playing as Toad instead of Mario. He has abilities such as digging throughout tunnels for coins, picking up veggies to throw at enemies, and exploring new areas by being the small little guy he is!
Legend of Zelda - Hyrule Warriors
It's exactly like Dynasty Warriors. Where there's tons of armies around and you (or you and another player) are fighting by themselves. Zelda is actually playable, and several other fan favorite characters will be playable.
Pokemon
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, showing the mega evolutions of the three Pokemon announced. Excited?
Bayonetta 2
Of course, they have to add Nintendo stuff to make it more interesting. Not sure why they made this game Nintendo exclusive (despite that I never even played the first game) but still...
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
A trailer
Xenoblade Chronicles
A trailer
Mario Maker
Create your own courses!!! Oh geeze, Kaizo Mario anyone?
Splatoon
You're a human and a squid fighting against players using their colored ink. You have to basically shoot your ink to claim more territory. You can move freely throughout your colored ink, while enemy ink either slows you down or damages you. You can look at your map to see what areas of the level has been colored either by your team or the enemies' team. You can also somewhat "teleport" to areas of the map by clicking a specific area. You can also see where your enemies are shooting because they designed the "ink gun" to show you its bullets.
Today started the opening and the rest of the week begins the show! I am definitely looking forward to the newly announced Mortal Kombat game that is scheduled to be released early 2015 (time obviously may change for that). Super stoked!
A few other games that I am looking forward to seeing are: Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain, Borderlands the Pre-Sequel, Destiny, basically anything from Sony, and I'm crossing my fingers for a Dishonored sequel!
I will be covering E3 over the next few days with this blog in case any of you have missed out on seeing certain things, so stay tuned folks! I know you're reading this other wise I would have over 7000 views!
There is this company called Necrostorm. It's an Italian movie company that is fixated on slasher films. Back in 2011, they announced that they were going to go for their first fighting game, trying to bring back the 90s with it. From the Youtube videos they showed at the time, it looked horrible. In fact, a lot of people thought it was nothing more but a college project. People thought this company was a fake, and boy did it brought out the ugly with this one person apart of their team. I am going to show you majority of what this woman has done throughout the years as being apart of Necrostorm's team. I am also going to give you a little insight about what this "game" is supposed to be about. Mind you, I am using the word "game" very loosely with this company. Why? Because I have no idea if this is even existing in the world. But we'll get to that later. This might be my longest blog to date.
I am apart of a fan site for a very popular fighting game. And on this site, people were talking about this "game" and mentioning that it looked like crap. They never heard of this company before, and thought that it was nothing but a hoax. What did we get after two pages of people stating that they didn't like the looks of this "game?" This:
*Facepalm* Boy, do I have some things to say about this.
1.) You are a "young company" as you stated, therefore people didn't know you. Not everyone in this world knows every single company there is in the entire world. So forgive those who have never heard of you and thought that you were a fake. You're upset that people said that you're a hoax or whatever, if you're so upset about that, how about you promote what your company does rather than blast people with this nonsense?
2.) The fact that you stated that we're not Italian is completely wrong. I AM Italian, thank you. And for the record, stating that people wouldn't know something makes you look like a jackass. I'm not apologizing for that comment, you're a real jackass for stating that we don't know what something is. We have something called Google. If we're unsure about something, we can always look it up. So don't sit here and think you outsmarted us by using a term people may not have heard of. But then again, they would have heard it because you used it, and if they were unsure of it, they would have looked it up and know what you were talking about. Like I said, you didn't "show" anyone that you know a term maybe not too many of us were familiar with.
3.) You're asking for "respect" for your efforts? Lady, the only respect I'm giving you is none. The fact that you actually made your own account to tell off a bunch of people who thought your company was a fake does not deserve any ounce of respect whatsoever. You rudely barged your way onto this site so you can be very rude to people who might later become interested in your product. This doesn't show that you're asking for respect, the only thing it shows is that you should get a big kick in the ass and should get fired. No company would ever allow their own employees do such a thing like this.
And it gets worse. I would have posted all of the comments that she made, unfortunately she had to delete them and I did not grab all of them in time before she did that. However, this is proof that she at least said what I told you:
The problem here is that I do not care about their products. Because this woman decided to be so rude with her comments, to the point where she calls them "idiots" and "zeroes" made me totally against getting their product. Despite that I, later on, become interested slightly again. Still, this woman came on to a fan site and deliberately attack people because they thought Necrostorm was a hoax. If I was the boss of this company, I would have so fired her ass on the spot. How dare someone do this while representing their company. Because after this happened, the only impression I got was that this company was filled with nothing but rude, moronic idiots who tries to rub their products in everyone's faces.
So now the "game" is being brought about because they're talking about releasing it to the public. However, I cannot tell you how many times they had to delay their game because of some random issue that popped up. Here someone decided to post their message that they received about the delay:
Mind you, this was more than once that they had to delay something. Every single thing they released was delayed. People were getting very frustrated with this product because of their delay. You know, it's understandable if maybe one or two things had to be pushed back for some random reason, but if it's everything, maybe you should not announce a release date until you're absolutely certain that it's going to be released the day you announce it. If you can't keep a simple promise to your fans, you're going to lose them. And may I say, for the times that these videos were up, for all the announcements that were made, I can assure you that there were some angry folks.
Angry indeed, just look at how their "fans" react to someone who criticize their "game."
Their fans take critics "too much seriously"? You've got to be kidding me. Their fans deliberately attacks anyone who says anything negative about the product, even if it was said in the nicest way! It disturbs me on how their "fans" acted so immaturely towards anyone against this "game!" Believe me when I say this, these people have to be the rudest bunch of idiots I have ever met. And I'm trying really hard not to stoop to their level of maturity and be like them, however, in this case, no dice. They're a bunch of idiots who can't be nice to people who don't like what they see. Seeing how Johanna here thinks that everyone is entitled to their opinion, obviously they cannot speak for their "fans." A lot of people speculated that their "fans" are a bunch of disguised Necrostorm employees, and to be honest, I still believe this was from their own employee rather than a psychotic fan. The reason why I state that is because of certain actions that were later made by the same woman in this video:
I'm going to repeat some of the stuff that she wrote to this person:
I didn't had any problems to cancel the "copyright infringement" and gently talk with you. If you actually were a well mannered person. But you are not, and your first message is the proof with that message you could piss off also a Gandhi.
Considering I din't have time to waste here teaching you well manners, and Im not paid to receive insults from random idiots, I don't remove anything. It's already said that I'm wasting time explaining you what was the problem, considering how did yo started this. Try to do something like that with another company and lets see if you receive a letter.
I feel the need to act like I am responding to her personally, despite I know I really shouldn't.
First of all, this person only reviewed this game and it got taken down due to a copyright infringement claim by Necrostorm. He politely told them in the message that he did nothing wrong. And how does this woman respond back? By rudely acting like a cunt and deliberately insult someone when no insult was made to her. I don't use the word "cunt" unless it is meant to be used. Sadly, I have to use it in this instance, because there is no reason why she needed to lash out at this person who merely asked to appeal the fact that his video was taken down. I said this once and I'm saying it again, this woman obviously represents this company. By the looks of how well she acts towards anyone who decides to message her, clearly she is making this company look like a piece of crap. How anyone can sit here and try to promote their stuff when they have a member of their own community acting like a child should be ashamed. Necrostorm obviously doesn't care though, I'm sure they enjoy having this woman being around so that she can tell off every single person that decides to write nice stuff to them.
I also have to show you some more that she wrote to him:
We are good with people, and there are thousands of people that know that
We are rude with arrogant peoples, you just get a taste of your own medicine fat kid.
Excuse me? You are good with people? No, that is a big fat lie and you know it. You damn well know you are certainly not good with people. Why do I say that? This review right here explains it:
There are people running to you and stating that their copy of YOUR "game" doesn't work. And how are they being treated? By getting their money sent back to them, getting called a "troll" and getting blocked. You have people saying that they cannot play their game yet you have "fans" that state that they have working proof. However, no one can tell who has what because this company refuses to let anyone show off Death Cargo. So how can we even tell this "game" truly exists? We can't, because this company is THAT rude towards its customers.
The second part of what Johanna here had to say (and I know it's Johanna because she's the contacts manager and these messages came from the contact manager, as well as the attitude that comes along with it), you're rude to arrogant people? First off, companies don't get back at rude customers, they mostly write them off and could care less. Haters gonna hate. But to retaliate and "get a taste of your own medicine" you're giving off this horrible vibe that you guys should not work in the gaming industry. You obviously cannot take any heat, positive or negative, and the fact that you viciously attack other customers WHO ARE TRYING TO BUY YOUR "GAME" MIND YOU, it clearly shows that you don't want these people even touching your so-called Holy Grail.
You are not talking with some random companies, you are talking with Necrostorm, probably you won't never realize the difference.
Oooh, big scary Necrostorm! I fear you ever so... /sarcasm. Wow, you're seriously threatening people now? You're something else, really.
Don't even try to play those cards "I'm a player, you are a company, you should be professional" with us. We are common people and we take seriously insults fat kid. We are not forced to be well mannered with assholes that insults us and pretend to be saluted with a "thank you". You insult us, you receive a big FUCK YOU in your fucking FAT face.
Excuse me? We can't sit here and say that you need to be professional? I thought companies are supposed to be professional. Oh wait, you're Necrostorm, according to you, acting nice towards customers isn't in your policy.
"We are common people and we take seriously insults" I'm not going to make fun of your broken English, I'm more so going to make fun of the fact that you think what this person wrote to you was an insult when I read his message three times and saw absolutely nothing in there that was insulting. I feel like this is what Johanna reads any time she gets a nice message to her:
Dear cunt,
fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you I like kitties fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you
Sincerely,
fuck you X2
I mean really. What insult did this guy throw in his letter? If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go to the first link I showed you and read the first message that shows.
"fat kid" I'm going to assume that you're stereotyping people now? Oh, because this guy claims to be a gamer, he's automatically deemed a fat kid for that? I have no idea why you think this guy is fat but it just makes you look more of a cunt than before.
"We are not forced to be well mannered with assholes that insults us and pretend to be saluted with a "thank you."" I am going to assume you guys are not forced to be well mannered at all. Seeing how majority of the people I have talked to about this company seems to be stating that you're nothing more but ill-mannered people, it's no wonder why you stated this. Insulted or not, you're not nice to anyone it seems, and let me tell you something... IT SHOWS!!!
"You insult us, you receive a big FUCK YOU in your fucking FAT face." That is just rude.
Conclusion:
At least you have something to tell your friends tomorrow, and I bet my boobs this was your main intention kid. Have something to say like "I know them personally they are a bunch of idiots."
Well you realize your life is sad when you understand this mail I sent is the most "important" answer you will ever receive from a company. THIS IS REALLY SAD, and if I were you I would start to change something in my life. "Be a fat teenager is not an excuse."
Where to begin? Um, let's see, he actually did tell friends... Actually, he told more than just friends. He publicly displayed your little temper tantrum and now more and more people are seeing the truth. Necrostorm has a vicious little monster being their contact manager, and frankly, this does not help their case at all. How are they letting this woman get away responding to people like this when people have no said anything mean to them? I mean literally, the kind of response that this woman replied to when all he wrote was this to them:
"Thank you for revealing the true nature of your company. It's been insightful."
That is literally what this guy wrote and he receives this giant letter from this woman who has a problem with this two sentenced post. Mind you, I'm not writing all of what she wrote, just some of the stuff that really caught my attention. (Even though the entire thing did) But he's right here. This woman alone showed the true nature of Necrostorm. That they are not a nice company. If they were, they would have fired this woman months ago and apologize to every single person that she had lashed out at personally. At least that is what I would do if I ever had this kind of stuff happening in a company I own.
"I bet my boobs this was your main intention kid." You bet your boobs huh? So if he was wrong, he'd be owning your pair right about now? That is a very odd thing to say, even coming from being a very rude person. That's just... really flipping weird.
"Well you realize your life is sad when you understand this mail I sent is the most "important" answer you will ever receive from a company." I really don't think his life is sad. In fact, I think your life is sad. Getting this ticked off at a reply that was "Thank you for revealing the true nature of your company. It's been insightful.," really makes it seems that your life is sadder than his. You're blowing off so much steam at this person because you did not like his reply, and that you're trying to make him feel sad that he got you upset. But the problem is, his life isn't sad. (I may not know that entirely but I'm going to assume that he's not a sad person.) I'm going to assume that he's probably laughing right now because of the way he got these messages.
"THIS IS REALLY SAD, and if I were you I would start to change something in my life." I actually think you should start changing something in YOUR life, Johanna. I mean, you're getting so upset over this person's response, I think that says a lot about yourself. I think it is clearly you who needs a good change of their life, not this person.
"Be a fat teenager is not an excuse." I really don't think this person is fat.
These two exchange a bit more and the last bit of this:
Now I'll teach you what happen when you attack people without a reason, even after they gave you an opportunity. How do you say in America? ""You mess with a bull you get the horns""
Ps: for your record we sold over 30,000 copies with our movies, this "that's company no one know" as you said kid, earn in a year. more than what you will earn in your entire life.
This little point is only to show you how much you know about us, and how much idiot you are attacking us without a reason.
Except, this guy never insulted you! I truly believe what I wrote before is what you saw in his letter to you. Nowhere did this guy wrote was an insult! How are you so blind to that? "Now I'll teach you what happen when you attack people without a reason, even after they gave you an opportunity." What exactly do you mean by that? This is what happens when we insult you after you gave us an opportunity? I mean that is what I'm getting off of this sentence.
The last part, the whole "we sold over 30,000 with our movies," hey, Disney called, they wanted to tell you how much they sold with Frozen. You really think trying to "own" this person by telling them how many movie copies you sold is such a huge insult to throw back? That's not "owning" anyone, it's just making you sound so arrogant and very asinine. "earn in a year" Earn what in a year? If it's also 30,000... that's not really a lot. "This little point is only to show you how much you know about us" No, I'm pretty certain he could care less how many copies you've sold, the only thing he knows about you is that you're covering your rear ends because you're all acting like a bunch of idiots yourselves with this horrendous backlash over nothing. "and how much idiot you are attacking us without a reason." And again, he never attacked you. I don't know what you were reading, but what I read, and probably a whole lot of other people read, nothing in his messages to you were insulting.
If I were to ever write to this contact manager, this is literally what I would have to say:
Dear Johanna,
I don't understand where you come off thinking that it's totally necessary to answer every question people bring to you with childish insults. People are coming to your company claiming that your game is broken, it's not working, and what do they get in response? A big FUCK YOU from the entire company themselves. I've seen various people making videos about how rude you are to customers of Necrostorm, and it should be allowed to be made public. No company should ever have this rude of an employee, no matter where they stand with the company themselves. You have no business being this rude to anyone, especially when they never attacked you in the first place. You've wasted time by making accounts on fan sites of more popular fighting games to make statements and lash out at those people, you really made Necrostom look really "awesome." And that's sarcasm if you didn't catch it the first time. You are a very rude person and it's an insult to know you're Italian. I am also Italian myself, and I am never this rude to anyone. I don't think I've ever met a person who is Italian that is rude. So please, get your head out of your ass and stop thinking you're so high and mighty. You're not. You're a contact manager working for an indy company not too many people have actually heard of.
Sincerely,
Kitty.
Now... what is this game even about?
Did you get that? Yeah, this is what the game is about. It's a fighting game. I want you to also notice how many dislikes this video has received.
For the record, this game has a story. Unfortunately, they didn't bother putting any of that in their trailer. They thought just jamming a bunch of random fight scenes from the "game" would be more suitable to watch rather than figuring out what the point to this game is. Sad, really, because to be honest, the "game" kinda has a neat little story behind it. I wouldn't say it's great, it's just it's different. The whole point of the story is that this Death Cargo ship was carrying these special weapons and it got destroyed but some of the weapons survived and now they're like... infecting people with it, giving them abilities and such... Something like that.
So, who's playable? Well, according to their site, there's twenty characters in total. Twelve of them are playable while eight of them are still unknown to the public. I am going to go into detail as to what these characters are supposed to be seeing how the trailer had no care in sharing who these little sunshines are:
For more than 10 years FBI agent Malcolm Strainer has been the chief of "Black Ray." a secret operation mainly create to investigate the secret R&D department of the Japanese group Hankei.
Although agent Malcolm fully committed himself to the operation, his superiors decided to suspend him from duty to the poor results obtained in his search. On the 15th of December, 2067 something really unusual happened. Four agents belonging to the "Black Ray" operation vanished while undergoing a covert operation in one of Hankei's labs. Their shredded corpses were inexplicably found by Agent Malcolm in the FBI's personal archives with a weird weapon, the Mag-GUN. Before the operation against Hankei went into full motion, Agent Malcolm secretly departed toward Tokyo, at the side of the strange weapon.
My Thoughts: I feel like this is their only character that they put more effort in with the story about the character itself rather than doing something random or hardly explaining who they are. I mean, this is a legit background of who this Malcolm guy is. I'll give them this one, he's legit.
The capsule which contained Leach crashed in a rural village in Western Europe. As soon as a farmer got infected, the population thought he was under demonic possession and entrusted him (still in an embrionc mutation state) to the local monastery's care. The Monks built a cell in the sewers beneath the monastery, hoping to save him with rites and prayers... poor fools.
My Thoughts: First off, the appearance of this guy is a joke. He looks like a long-haired, skinny Hulk. He was also one of two characters that had a finisher, one of them was that he grabs you and somehow rips your entire skin off while having your entire body be stuck into the background wall. It makes no sense. This biography also seems very short compared to Malcolm's. Would have liked to know more about how this farmer got infected. Like, did he go near the crash site? Did this weapon just mysteriously picked him out of the crowd?
Xander's scientists have exploited aracnhoyds' physical structure (frightening predators that are experts in mimicry, similar to Earths arachnids) to obtain the living weapon that is endowed with devastating power and intelligence.
When eliminating the original primordial brain and replacing it with a sofisticate bio-orgnical governer this creature is capable of:
Altering its own internal and external structure to assume any enemy form
Imitate and replicate accurately the enemy's behavior and communication systems.
When its goal is achieved, Aracno doesn't need a disguise anymore and can go back to its lethal original structure.
My Thoughts: I did not misspell anything, that's how they have it on their site. This hardly tells me what this character is only that it's a shapeshifter. That's it. This entire biography is just to tell you that this character is a shapeshifter. Does she really need that outfit though? Doesn't matter, everything in this "game" is too dark to see anything anyways.
When the military patrol recovered the "thinking weapon" which crashed in the Russian steppe, the had to face a spine-chilling scene. The corpses shredded by the impact were lying close to the strange metal collar. They displayed living convulsions though they were dead. The soldiers took the strange collar back to the base and the Major decided to entrust it to the scientists to run some tests on it. They couldn't know what they were in front of the Puppet Master which was supposed to take control of the Leach weapon.
Completely confident about the side effects being valuable property and after several tests on carcasses they fastened the collar on a soldier's corpse. The outcome was astonishing: the man was back to life.
Regrettably for them, the soldier was not a human being anymore.
My Thoughts: So, instead of acting normal, we have to just randomly test this collar that somehow killed people around it? I really don't think human beings are that stupid to just think it's a good idea to test something that appears to be very deadly.
After sustaining the terrible bacteriological attack from U.S.A. in 2045, the Japanese government decided to commit 70% of their economic assets to update their armaments to forestall any future attack from the U.S. government.
They decided to rely on the private society Hankei for the research on warfare equipment.
For more than ten years, in total secrecy, Hankei carried out war and spatial research, exponentially improving the Japanese army's power. Thanks to modern and vanguard equipment.
The strangest thing happened when the Death Cargo crashed on our planet: Hankei knew exactly where the "thinking weapon" that landed in the eastern part of Asia were.
The entire world fears that Japan is not only trying to defend itself, but preparing to colonize and attack the entire planet.
When Hankei's CEO, Yuni Mihashi, ordered the recovery of the two "thinking weapons" that feel in the eastern part of Asia, she decided to test one of those (the Nova eradicator) on her own body. Differently from what she had thought, it's the weapon whom control its owner, not the contrary.
My Thoughts: What's funny is that the second paragraph is the only thing about this character, the first one is about the Hankei story. Really? You thought it would be a good idea to just store what Hankei is in one character's biography rather than having it be apart of the story's background? I mean, two other characters clearly have to do with Hankei themselves, you just thought it would be fine to store the background of this company or whatever it is with her? Not to mention, you gave so much info on that and very little with this character. I would have liked to know as to why she was so stupid to try something out on her. Try something on her that she hardly knows what it is. Why are a lot of your characters very oblivious to these things? This isn't how humans would react if they saw something they were unfamiliar with.
When Crystal fell in Ivan Jackson's cell (a former settler). Inside the South African infernal aquatic penitentiary, the inmate weld the weapon to eliminate the guardians and escaped from the structure.
Determined to prove his innocence and to reach his wife, Ivan begins his long journey: overflowed by horrors and ghosts from the past.
My Thoughts: The first sentence of his biography is a sentence fragment. You might want to actually hire someone who is capable of good writing skills to help you make sense with your character's biographies. And instead of putting more details into the weapons that these character's possess, it would have been more delightful to see effort be put into the actual character's biography. Also, he looks like a woman.
Protein-X crashed in an Indonesian jungle, not far from a mercenary encampment. Hearing the uproar they decided to scour the area: when they reached the crash site, the creature caught them completely unprepared. Protien-X chose through the 4 men who would've been its carrier, killing instantly the other 3. Now the man and the weapon are a unique being.
My Thoughts: I liked him better when he was known as Kuato.
Miguel Peres was born in 2034 in Ultra New Mexico, he started working in the city's huge landfl when he was 6. His cynical colleagues gave him the nickname Toxic due to his repulsive aspects, he is disfigured from prolonged exposure to acid fumes.
After the death of his parents, Miguel started to save every cent to be able to offer his little brother a better life far from misery and desperation. On the 16th of December, on the way back from the landfill, Miguel saw that the entire shantytown he lived in ad been destroyed. Death Cargo's first impact completed razed it. His brother was obviously dead.
The only thing Miguel could spot before the spaceship self destructed was the silhouette of Death Cargo's commander Squalo escaping from the wreckage, completely unscathed.
After the explosion, Toxic was miraculously alive.
My Thoughts: Hey, another character that has a biography that isn't about the weapon. It's actually about this character! I'm surprised, so that's two out of twelve characters that actually have a legit biography that is about the character themselves!
Morbo is the living content of the B.L.A.C.K. Bomb. It's nothing more than a sophisticated canister which releases the black corrosive fluid through specially designed pressured compartments. At the point when soil impact happens, Morbo can start haunting any living being. It only needs to absorb water to survive. When there are no enemies left it terminate, it tends to settle in areas rich in water (like seas or lakes). Chronicles tell of entire planets neutralized by the B.L.A.C.K Bomb which results in lands dry as deserts. When hostile enemies are present, Morbo has a basic disguise system; it can slip into enemies and handle their corpses, eluding any resistance.
My Thoughts: Had they not give you information underneath the character's story about the weapons that they possess, I'm sure you would have no idea what the B.L.A.C.K. Bomb is all about. And I'm showing you that because I don't feel that it is necessary to write down the weapons that they posses. Who is this lucky charmer that got possessed by the weapon? Seems like some sort of factory employee. Who is he? How did he become in contact with this weapon? Also, you really need to tell us what is considered to be areas of rich water? Like we really didn't know that those areas would be near bodies of water?
When Hankei recovered AMAZ-1-NG they quickly understood it was a complex and enigmatic tool. The metallic exoskeleton hides a technology which teh human mind is not capable of understanding.
Hankei's C.E.O. (Yuni Mihashi) made the decision to test it on a female associate: Mizuky. She was revealed to not only be a business parter, but Yuni's loving girlfriend. After attaching the exoskeleton to Mizuky, neither could have imagined the terrible consequences that followed.
My Thoughts: Besides reading that Mizuky is Yuni's girlfriend and a business partner, who is she? I would have liked to know. Did she want this weapon be apart of her? Was she forced by Yuni? WHO IS SHE?
Squalo is the captain of the Death Cargo that fell on Earth on the 16th of December.
before Plasma was created, Xonader entrusted the mission to this extraordinary fighter, which differently from Plasma has never been deprived of his emotions and sexuality.
Despite this factory defect, he had always completed his missions in the most superb way, boasting 850 years of service.
After the crash he went silent, vanishing into nothingness.
Xonader started to think this event was a consequence of his emotions.
My Thoughts: While his story isn't that bad, it's not great. I like to know why most of these characters look very genderless, seeing how it clearly states that this is supposed to be a dude.
Plasma is the new Death Cargo's commander. Xonader created this new "war machine" prototype and deprived him/her of any emotive alteration.
He's only purpose was to recover the weapons and shed some light on what happened after the crash.
My Thoughts: This guy was basically the only character that you could play as in the demo, he had two finishers revealed on their Youtube page. And this is all he gets for a biography? I thought he was like the main guy for the "game" and we get hit with this itty, bitty little biography? Seriously?
These characters also have descriptions as to what their weapons are on their site, but I'm really not going to waste my time with that.
I spent nearly four hours writing this blog because I feel that this is a complete insult to the fighting game industry. I've been playing video games for 22 of 23 years of my life, and I should be able to point out what a good game is compared to a bad game. The fact that this "game" is out there, trying to be released, having to be owned by selfish, immature children who can't take criticism at all is just horrible to the gaming industry. I don't care if this is their first time doing something like this, and I am not going to cut them slack at all. The way that they have acted throughout the three years this "game" has been in production doesn't give me the impression that I need to go out and waste $20 on it. It's ridiculous, really, it is. Obviously, they cannot handle criticism, and I always say, "If you can't handle criticism, then you shouldn't be in the art industry." I am an artist, an animator, I HAVE to live on criticism to get better at what I do with my work. If I can't take the heat, then this industry is not for me. However, I CAN take the heat because that is what artists are supposed to do. If it is insulting, I ignore it. And I can tell the difference between an insult and criticism.
Criticism is something that is being used in a helpful way. Such as, let's say I drew a human and one person came up and said, "The body is oddly posed in an unrealistic way." That tells me that I had drawn the body in a way that wouldn't have made sense. So what do I do? I take that criticism and work off of it by adjusting the body to where its posed in a more realistic way.
Insults are this: "I think your work is fucking stupid. A two-year old can draw better than you with their eyes closed. You suck." That is insulting, and if anyone were to say that to me, I, nine times out of ten, will ignore it. Feeding into insults like that does nothing but causes more issues. And obviously, you don't seem to get the picture.
I also don't believe you know how to work in a company, Miss Johanna. Let's say I own a company and you were my contact manager. Let's also say, people have been contacting me informing me about the amount of bullcrap they have received from you when they have wrote letters upon letters saying my company's product isn't working. I would obviously check all of the emails that I have been told about and, seeing how your childish antics would be what my eyes are viewing, I would kick you out of my company so fast you wouldn't know it hit you. Just because you live in a different country doesn't give you the right to act like a cold-hearted cunt to all the customers that are complaining that your company's product doesn't work. And the fact that your company reacts to anyone that has anything to do with your "game" shows me that you guys obviously need to go back handling slasher films. The gaming industry has no room for cold-hearted rudeness such as yourselves. Gaming companies want to hear feedback, they do not shun it away and ban them from their sites for good because they have a complaint towards their product. You want to know why they don't do that? It's because they're professionals. You guys are not. They know how to handle issues and give what's best to their customers. You guys haven't done that since day one.
As I conclude this blog I must say, I hope this message goes around. Everyone should be aware of this horrendous company and hopefully, no one buys their product as long as they continue acting as rude as they are. And hopefully Necrostorm, you fire that pain in the ass Johanna and realize that you all need to be a bit nicer to your customers. And if somehow this goes to you and you find this so insulting... I will not respond to anything of yours if it has any insults, threats, or harassments. My only warning to you.
Ooh, this game is fun and annoying at the same time. Blizzard finally made an update to the game to allow it to be played on the iPad, soon it'll be available for the iPhone later on this year. This is a card game for those who don't know about it.
You play as the heroes of Warcraft: Malfurion Stormrage (The Druid), Rexxar (The Hunter), Jaina Proudmoore (The Mage), Uther the Lightbringer (The Paladin), Anduin Wrynn (The Priest), Valeera Sanguinar (The Rogue), Thrall (The Shaman), Gul'Dan (The Warlock), and Garrosh Hellscream (The Warrior). Each having their own specific class cards with a combination of neutral cards to throw out to your opponent. I feel that both the Hunter and the Priest are the strongest characters to play as because of the specials they get.
So the objective of the game is to get your opponent's health down to zero. You're both at Thirty. Each player has a number of "gems" you gain one per round. Each card you play has a number of gems you can use. So let's say, you have three gems available to use, but the card you want to play is at five. So you have to wait two more rounds to play that card. Or one, depending on if you have a card that grants you a gem for that round.
Your cards do different things, whether your card allows you to pull off a spell, gives you a minion, gives your minions abilities, heals you, gives you a weapon, etc. Your minions have health as well, and an attack power. So let's say you have a Murloc minion, he has like two health and one attack power. So you can use that minion to either attack the hero of your opponent, or a minion for one health since its attack power is one. You can give your minions more attack power or more health with a spell card that grants your minions this abilities for more power and more intimidation for your opponent. The only case where you can't attack the hero is if they have a minion that grants taunt. You HAVE to attack them, you can't attack anything else unless you go after the minion(s) who have taunt. It's a bit of an annoyance when they continue healing it or gives it more health or it has more attack power and you don't have anything in your artillery to get rid of it for one round.
You also have Legendaries. This is where the game gets more annoying. I have in my possession a golden Elite Tauren Chieftan card (because I watched Blizzcon) most of the time, I can tell this shocks the other player because you can see that they have their mouse scrolled over the card or they allow their hero to say, "Well Played." Yeah, I forgot to mention that you can have your heroes say stuff to your opponent. So anyways, I have this card (and one other Legendary called the Beast). This card gives not only me another card to play with, but it also gives my opponent a card as well. Sometimes they get a card that's better than the card I got. E.T.C. gives out either "Rogues Do It," in which it allows me to deal four damage to anyone I want, "I Am Murloc" where it allows you to have three, four or five 1/1 Murlocs to be summoned for you, or "Power of the Horde," where it gives you a random Horde hero to fight by your side. Most of the time, I get "Rogues Do It," and most of the time, it's a very useless card in my opinion, while the other side gets a better card (Mostly "I Am Murloc"). The other Legendary I mentioned is called "The Beast." It's a 9 attack, seven health legendary that summons a 3/3 Finkle Einhorn when it's defeated for the opponent. So you see, Legendaries can also backfire.
But note, I have E.T.C. golden version...
Glorious.
There's a heck of a lot more stuff that goes with Hearthstone, and I feel like if I continue, it'll take away the fun for you to learn on your own. It's not that hard to play, it's really simple. If you like card battling games as well as Warcraft, this game is definitely for you. If you're not into it, then don't get it. But it's highly addicting, even though at times it's frustrating. So yeah.
I am huge South Park fan, and I really was excited to see this game. I felt like I was about to pull a Cartman at some point and just keep pacing outside of a Gamestop hoping that time moves faster for the release of the game. So I got the game finally, I put it in my PS3, waited for it to be installed and I get this message:
"Game data corrupted, re-install the game"
Ehh... excuse me? Did I read that right? Game data corrupted? Well this certainly cannot be a good sign at all.
Re-installed, the game plays fine... Up until certain spots in South Park where the game skips badly. And THEN the text gets glitched. I'm afraid to play the game some more because of this. I already had to get my Playstation fixed once because it stopped reading the disks. Do I fear that this game is going to do something bad to my Playstation the more I play it? Well... I don't know. But I might try to beat it soon.
With that all out of the way, let's actually talk about the game. So far, with what I've gotten completed, I can't stop laughing my butt off with what's been happening. I love the nostalgia this game brings by showing us stuff from the episodes such as when you look into the boys' closets, you see stuff that they've worn or possess from certain episodes. I also cannot stop laughing at how horribly evil some of the comedy is. I just got passed killing an aborted Kardashian mutated nazi zombie baby. I really was just having trouble beating it because I was laughing too hard.
Thankfully I did end up beating it.
But I really enjoy that this game makes you think on how to fight against your opponents. You don't just fight them, you have to think what will reduce the opponents' health faster. Some of them are immune to certain powers, others it just devours their health like that. You can also find things in the environment before fighting three-five enemies to use against them so that it reduces how many people you actually fight. You just have to actually use your head for once and I think that is oh-so clever you know?
I like that you have to constantly build your character whenever you get more outfits, weapons and other upgrades because that becomes more useful throughout longer battles. I also enjoy that you have the ability to summon other characters to help you throughout your adventure. I have yet to see what Mr. Slave does, I'm waiting for the perfect chance to use him, but I've already used Mr. Hanky and I totally forgot about the sorcerer's apprentice spoof that he does. Oh, watching a piece of turd using waves of shit to throw at my enemies.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the most hysterical part that I just thought was really funny and hoped that none of my parents were in the room when I was playing this part. You get shrunken down because of gnomes that steals underwear, and during this part, your character's parents are screwing in their bed room. And yes, you do get to see them having sex during certain parts, as well as ending up on their bed to fight the warlock. Ugh, to see your father's ball sack flying at you...
I think this game is cleverly written to where the shock value is extremely high. This game is certainly better than their previous games that they've made in the past and I certainly hope that the game continues to behave so that it doesn't do anything to my Playstation. There's a lot of quests that you can go on, there's a lot of items you can find throughout the town. It's certainly huge enough to where you can do a lot within one sitting time. I am trying to find everything and earn as many trophies as I can throughout my first playthrough. I feel that the replay value is high and it's certainly a game not to pass up on. So go out and spend your money on this... that is if you're a huge South Park fan. If you're not, then this game isn't really for you.
I got this game for Christmas and not too long ago I began playing it. I have this issue where I cannot start a new game unless I beat a game I'm currently playing. Well, that is if I haven't spoiled myself of its ending, which sadly I did for this game.
I don't know why the lack of interest is hurt my chances of actually beating this game. I did not like The Last of Us that much and to be honest, I haven't beaten it because I'm not liking what I'm seeing. And sadly, that's the same thing in this case with Beyond: Two Souls. I was really looking forward to this game when it wasn't released because I LOVE Williem Dafoe, and I love Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain. I thought that I was going to be into this game. But sadly, I had to force myself to continue playing this game.
Now, I'm going to admit here, my boyfriend did kinda spoiled something for me, but it wasn't that crucial to the story. But since he kept mocking me that he knew who Aiden was, I had to look. I needed to know if I was right, and in a way, I was.
And if you don't want to be spoiled, I command you to just stop reading right here.
So, I decided to look up more about this game because everything was getting way too out of control. The story felt liked the latest Superman movie. The flash backs in that movie were so out of whack and it didn't make sense. While here, the story isn't just going forward, it goes back and forth every so often. Sometimes you play as adult Jodie, other times you play as her younger self. But I was getting so aggravated with that because I just wanted to progress. I don't like stories that has you going back in life and see stuff more than once. Flashbacks are fine, but when there are a ton of them, it just loses focus of the main issue.
You want to know who Aiden is, why he's there. Aiden is her twin brother who died during childbirth when the cord was wrapped around his throat. He's been with Jodie all of her life. He's one protective brother, I'll tell you that.
There, that's all you need to know about Aiden.
Now, here's the other thing that bothered me with this game. This is the same developer as Heavy Rain. I was expecting to see more quick time events like Heavy Rain had. But what happened? It gets shortened. You control more of the character walking around rather than their actions. When you control their actions in Heavy Rain, it's like six buttons and random movements with the joystick that you have to do in order to get the character to do something. During the times where you have like that dramatic music playing in the background and you need to do something quickly otherwise something bad would happen, you'd be in a panic and trying to do it so crazy. I actually like that feeling in the game because I didn't want any of the characters to die, and I didn't want to lose anything. But with Beyond: Two Souls, if you fail, there's hardly any consequences. I mean, I kept getting hurt during some of the fighting scenes, but it's not like I'm getting killed. What the hell? I could just ignore the quicktimes and just let her get hit. That's boring.
I don't know if I really want to beat this game, despite that I spoiled the ending for myself. I mean, it's one of those games that the ending you get makes a difference by what you've done in the game. I don't know what kind of ending I'll get with what I've made Aiden do. But then again, I'd like to see what ending I want. To motivate myself before Tuesday to play it before I get South Park: The Stick of Truth is going to be kind of tough. I really have no motivation to play the game more.
