MCM Expo May 2013

Woo, the MCM expo was pretty cool, I made a point of making sure I was attending things I wanted to attend and not do what I did last time which was just wander around aimlessly I mean it's fun to wander aimlessly at these sort of events as there is always wacky stuff going on and that.

So the solution to that was to get a timetable and actually know what events were going to happen and plan the day around events I wanted to go to. Surprising for someone that adores video games I actually didn't play that many games there. It wasn't so much to do with the lack of decent games or anything like that as I still managed to play the soon to be released Deadpool game but it was then when I playing it, I was like...yeah I can't be bothered with this.

The Next Generation

The next generation of consoles already started with the Wii-U but let's face it, I hardly care about the Wii-U, it's not like the Wii before it where I was intrigued by it and that I had to purchase it as it'd be the only way to play the latest Super Smash Brothers and that was all I really wanted to play at the time.

I didn't get the Wii at release date but a bit afterwards but well in advance of the Super Smash Brothers Brawl release date just so I was ready and prepared for when it came out. I do not feel this with the Wii-U, maybe part of it is because there isn't an actual release date for the Wii-U edition of the popular franchise but I feel a large part is due to the fact that for me the Wii-U is extremely underwhelming and doesn't really have any real stand out reason for me to go and purchase one right now. Sure, it has Zombi U which does actually look interesting to me and I played a bit at Eurogamer and it's worth a look at but I really don't want to be getting a console again just for one real game again, I want it to already have a plethora of great titles and must have games, something that personally I feel the Wii-U fails at.

Injustice: Gods Among Us review

Wait what...There was a prequel comic which explained a lot of the events that took place before the game? Why was I not informed of this, I would have loved to have read it and got a heck of a lot more background information on the game and what was happening but hey...it sure as hell did not affect my enjoyment of the game whatsoever.

I recently bought myself Injustice: Gods Among Us which is a beat 'em up, a fighting game on a 2D plane in the mold of Mortal Kombat and personally asides Tekken and Super Smash Brothers I'm not really what you would call a fighting game enthusiast, I mean sure I got Marvel vs Capcom 3 but that was mainly because IT'S FREAKING MARVEL, why wouldn't I want to play as the likes of Iron Man, Magneto, Deadpool and FRICKING CAPCOM who had Christopher Redfield, Tron Bonne and Viewtiful Joe so I was always going to get it but hoooo boy, beginner friendly? I think NOT! It might have just been me but it also didn't help that the story wasn't that brilliant or that memorable.

I notice that I don't really know a single person that actually enjoys fighting games and perhaps that's due to the complexity of the games and things such as juggles, turtling, tech rolls, frame data, recovery frames and general advanced stuff like that, I think it can make it very overwhelming and not fun to play especially when you get matched up against someone that does know all about it and it becomes a bit of a mismatched competition.

I also think that fights can sometimes just not be aesthetically pleasing especially when you watch experts against each other, there are certain exceptions like if you've ever seen the ending of Daigo’s Ken massive comeback vs Justin Wong’s Chun-Li because that right there, that was a thing of beauty and understand the difficulty of what he did but for the most part the fights aren't that exciting and just resort to people dashing, cancelling and repeating the same few moves over and over when you’d want a little more variety and it just looks...like more of a game and less of an actual fight.

I don’t get this with Injustice, the moves and cinematic during fights make it feel like it's a proper superhero battle, the transitions between levels in stages all adds to the experience and makes it feel a lot more engaging as do the super moves that each character has, I especially love the whole over the top feel that they have to it especially Doomsday’s and Aquaman’s supermove, the clash battles also add to it as well but they do feel a bit gimmicky and I could do without it, I don’t remember ever initiating one, it was always the computer that forced one.

The story in itself was quite interesting and involves an alternate dimension which instantly gives you the reason why Batman is fighting the likes of Superman, Flash and Nightwing and similiar confrontations like that. Superman is pretty much running the alternate dimension with an iron fist after a major casualty and it does bring up some questions like what happens when the strongest entity isn't fighting for "your side" anymore. You do see some pretty interesting stuff and decisions taken by some of the characters especially Superman, I would have like to have seen how this world is viewed in the eyes of ordinary civilians but I suppose that’s something that can’t really be done in a game such as this without making the story mode feel long and dragged out.

There are a bunch of other modes like a S.T.A.R.S Labs mode which is like a challenge mode where you fight with certain stipulations which seems fun, I haven't really gotten that far into that yet but I enjoyed Super Smash Brother’s Melee’s challenge mode especially Super Mario 128 so I imagine I’ll enjoy the S.T.A.R.S Labs a great deal. There's a battle mode where you can do the classic fighting game formula and fight random 8 superheroes or villains before fighting the big bad in Superman and of course everyone comes with their own ending.

Finally there is multiplayer including online which I guess is very important to a lot of people but to me? Not really. Mainly because when it comes to fighting games, they require precision timing and being in exact positions to pull of successful combos and you missing a punch which keeps your opponent juggled for to you to do you next combo could make the difference between winning and losing and getting a good control on the match I feel is impossible due to the lag that this game has. The only fighting game I’ve ever been able to play online is Tekken because I don't suffer too badly from lag there, even Brawl online was woeful, so asides me going to local tournaments or playing local multiplayer and the likes there isn't really a way of me getting better at this because the AI are extremely limited in fighting games and just come across as being cheap which ruins the fun.

All in all I found this game to be very fun and enjoyable especially learning about superheroes and villains that I didn't know too much about before like Shazam, that being said...Deathstroke...eurgh...I have problems against that guy what with his guns and him being impossible to approach normally. I definitely enjoyed this and I’d put it in the 80 to 90 out of hundred bracket if I were to do ratings and that but I don’t. Still, great game.

That’s about it for my Injustice review the next game I shall be playing is going to be Tomb Raider as in the 2013 edition but until then this is the Silver Assassin signing out, over and out.

Answering The Call of Duty

I never liked Call of Duty, mainly because I felt I was no good at first person shooters, reason being is that I personally preferred the slow calculated approach and working as a team which Left 4 Dead certainly promoted whereas games like Call of Duty, there was nothing but an influx of lone wolves. In playing Black Ops 2 at times I was like "alright guys you've shown you're awesome by getting a 31-3 kill death ratio now can you please help us capture some flags, pick up tags, set the bomb whatever or however it is you actually win the game?"

Don't get it misconstrued as I am not one of those people that say “I only play the objective which makes me better than you even though my KDR is 13-29, it's your fault we lost” because I personally believe that a good team needs a mixture of people playing the objective and people that are slayers.

The Silver Assassin

Introducing the Silver Assassin

So welcome to the first episode of my Silver Assassin series where the topic is pretty much about videogames

First, a little background, because you never forget your very first I'll start with that, my very first console would have been the Sega Mega Drive and my very first game would have been Kid Chameleon and oh how I loved that game, I used to play on it for ages and I never did actually finish the game properly when I was younger as it was quite difficult, plus the game was like a multi path platformer game meaning that there were different routes you could go which meant you'd get different levels and it would just all be branching off in different directions. If you've ever played the game you'll know the feeling of trying the remember which path it was that DIDN'T lead to...Bloody Swamp...Many a game has been ended on that very level.

Attacking it head on and with force

Hmm, hmm, hmmmmmmmmmmm, my procrastination has led me here, heeeere to my backlog of things to do/watch/play/listen to/whatever else adjectives that spring to mind.

I am writing this waaay before this has even gone up as a blog post so maybe (unlikely somewhat) I've done some things on the list already but so far....nah this isn't going to be a list, it's a muthafugging plan of action bitches.

Right first things first I must finish Final Fantasy XIII-2 within the week or something whilst alternating between watching the anime Claymore and the DVD Deano lent me.

Not only that, I have to also finish Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon on my DS so whether I play that on my travels or before I sleep it's got to be done.

How did I go this long without attending one of these?

This weekend I attended my first ever expo, the London MCM expo and it was quite an event.

For me it was never really about the guests or presentations that was going on and that as I already know how I feel about "celebrities" and there wasn't reeeally any presentations that I was interested in other than the Tekken Tag Tournament 2 one which I attended today. No no, it was always going to be about the occasion and the atmosphere there which did not disappoint me.

People came dressed as all sorts of characters at it was quite fun at trying to recognise all the different characters that showed up and seeing all the good cosplay (and the bad ones as well) that people did.

Zetta cool!

"Listen up, Phones! The world ends with you. If you want to enjoy life, expand your world. You gotta push your horizons out as far as they'll go."

Ahhh really do have to stop playing Fifa as I'm wasting time that I could be playing other games. Okay granted handheld games are probably best played when I'm not at home as I could be playing something on the television or online and all that but The World Ends With You was really a wonderful experience and the battle system uses both screens at once and makes for interesting battles.

Yes you totally are a bi- I mean witch

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, choo. Freezing cold weather isn't cool whatsoever.

The weather has gotten colder than usual as of late which quite frankly makes mornings a bit of a pain seeing as the heating in my room doesn't actually work or anything so yeah.

I really ought to go to sleep earlier and thus wake up earlier because there is always so much to do in the day and waking up earlier would solve a lot of these...timing problems but the problem is not much really happens until night so up I stay.

So what else has been happening? Not much just the same routine really. Found out Phoenix Wright 5 has been confirmed so I look forward to that but it's probably going to be a continuation of the Apollo Justice story which I'm not too pleased about seeing as I found his story to not really be all that interesting but I guess we'll wait and see.

Finished the story of Bayonetta so that's another to my list but now it's all about getting the achievements if I can before locking the game up away forever like Dante's Inferno, Final Fantasy XIII, Sonic Generations and other 100% completed games.

I had heard about Bayonetta and it had received critical acclaim so I decided to try it (plus the fact that I purchased it nearly a year ago and just hadn't gotten round to playing it) and I wouldn't say I was surprised but it really was enjoyable fun.

The controls were easy and simple to get used to and could lead to many combinations while fighting and thus getting into it was incredibly easy. Torture sequences and Wicked weave attacks were glorious to watch and fun to execute and the dialogue and cut scenes were another thing of beauty with all their references to other games and that.

If there was a downside to it from my experience was that the story wasn't exactly easy to follow when starting and a lot of the times I was thinking "what on earth is going on? Wait, what's my journey about anyway" and the questions aren't really answered until the final chapter and by then it was a bit too late to really care and simply just wanted to complete the game especially when I was sooo close to it (incidentally, why is it I only ever seem to finish games late at night, why can't I finish a game at a nice time like in the middle of day or something).

So yeah asides from that it was really fun to play though some of the Alfheim chapters were frustrating as hell and I haven't even finished them all yet. I look forward to trying to complete the game on the hardest of hard mode (Climax mode) and no doubt that will be my last achievement on the game so then I can put the game down.

I just hope that on the final boss it isn't too frustrating and I end up physically not being able to complete it a la I Want To Be The Guy. I'm still annoyed about that to this day.

Shame there’s a lack of 999 Watches

If you are reading this then first things first. Stop reading this and go play 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. Do it, I mean it. Play it. These sort of games need a chance to have exposure and commercial success.

Okay now to the actual post:

So what is on my mind today, music and 999. Though I may as well get these thoughts out before I lose them forever to the next game I decide to play...okay maybe not forever but anyways, 999 is a brilliant game, that's all you need to know about it.

I played this on the recommendation of Foxx and well, I've never looked back. 999 is a visual novel not unlike Ace Attorney (which I may play next) and has a deeply engrossing story and puzzles that are clever and simply amazing. It's a game that requires multiple playthroughs however it is actually done brilliantly and it makes sense to play it again and again, to pick up clues and to get the full story.

You basically start off as Junpei, a 21 year old boy who one day is kidnapped and awakes in a locked room on a sinking ship steadying filling up with water and he must use the items in the room and his wits to escape. Of course, once he does he learns that he is now involved in what is called the Nonary Game, a game of life and death where he only has 9 hours to escape the ship or die a horrible death.

Whether this description of the game sounds interesting or not is irrelevant as you should want to play it and if you don't want to play it then you should feel bad as this is a good game.

In fact, go out and buy it now and thank me later

So now I have finished another game and the question really is, what do I play next as it's not as if there's a shortage of options here but it really does depend on what I feel like playing. I do need to finish Blaze Black and I was thinking of doing some maps on Advance Wars Day Of Ruin but that face keeps propelling me to play Final Fantasy Tactics A2 and Fire Emblem is the other game on my CycloDS at the moment.

The most likely one is probably Final Fantasy but now it's really a matter of getting round to playing it.

Braaaains, braaains

Resident Evil...what have they done to you, you used to be all about fighting ACTUAL zombies and more about survival than about action and upper-cutting boulders and the likes.

My beloved franch- well, to tell the truth I wasn't really that into the series anyway haha, I only ever played Resident Evil 2, the one with Leon S Kennedy and Claire Redfield and that is one of my most cherished games...yes nostalgia does play a part in it but there are plenty of other games I know weren't good but I still like them anyway.

Anyway, so the first game I didn't play but I know somewhat about the storyline along with the third game. Now when it comes to spinoffs and any games that are not part of main entries of a story, I'm hesitant to play them. The reason for that is that when it comes to a story, anything that relates to the plot and is somewhat essential should be in the main entries anyway.

The last thing I want to do is to play a completely separate game to understand something that's vital to the plot. Everything not mentioned in the plot should preferably just be background information and nothing more.
That being said I haven't actually played any of the Resident Evil spinoffs or other games so yeah...wait where was I going with this? Ahh forget it.

So Resident Evil 4 I am a huuuuuuuge fan of because it was different and exciting and it was actually good especially the dialogue ("What 'r you buying strangah", "Your right hand comes off?" and "You're small time!" all brilliance), it was also fun to play for a second time with the better weapons and additions such as the Chicago Typewriter and the infinite rocket launcher (blowing up a villager's head with a rocket launcher has never been so satisfying).

So while Resident Evil 4 was applauded and praised, surely you can't mess up with Resident Evil 5 right? WRONG!

Eurgh how do I start with this. While Resident Evil 5 is by no means a bad game, it's just not that good enough. It's far too similar to RE4 and that it offers very little. I don't mind to use the criticism that it's similar against it but it really just feels like it's Resident Evil 4 IN AFRICA (or Haiti to be more precise, I've always hated it when people say Africa as a catch all term for things set in that continent) and that wait...haven't I played this before?

Yes the co-op was a nice feature but too many times have I been let down by incompetent team-mates who failure to understand that trying the same thing over and over will not bring about results and means we have to redo it again and again and it's frustrating ergh. This feature doesn't make up for the boredom in this game really (AND OH MY GOD WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS JUST CRAWL UNDER THE LASERS, WHY DO I HAVE TO GO AROUND IT) and its blandness and it just wasn't very good.

So with the speculation of Resident Evil 6 along with a leaked shot of the announcement date, I've not checked if it was faked or not, I am wary in what direction this new game will take and how it pans out. Hopefully it'll be another masterpiece as even number entries usually are for me but I guess along with many other things in life, I'll just have to wait and see.

Oh look, yet another Sandstorm team…yay

So I finally got Pokémon Online and it’s quite fun having quick battles though I do miss the animations and movement of the cartridge games and I’m having quite a lot of fun on this thing.
Now it originally was just to test a new team idea I had but I guess it may be some time before I actually get it on the cartridge but oh well I’M HAVING A BLAST

So I noted and not really that surprised at it that people tend to use the most powerful ones and bleh what can you do, but I can’t count how many Tyranitars, Ferrothorns and Latios I've seen but it’s a lot.

Then I look at my team and think yeah it’s not so different but I know I had a team and what I wanted to do with it and that was to use a Rain Dish Ludicolo and the rest of the team kind of fell into place. I like this team and while yes it has some maaaaaajor issues like not really being able beat some of the tougher threats and a lack of Rapid Spin due to me removing Forretress for a Gliscor but that was because before that change it was like “Breloooooom! *shakes fists angrily* and thus a change was actually needed. But anyway yeah, I have fun with it and that’s what matters really.

Also it’s probably better that I use this team on this simulator as opposed to the cartridge games due to the amount of times I’ve been involved in a stall war with just one Pokémon left and their grass or water type against my Milotic or Ludicolo…I’ve gone waaay past turn 100 because of this.

So I’m really thinking of a new team but I need a new theme and idea to play with and I was thinking Magic Bounce so that might be my next thing I play with but of course I will need to look at some other ideas, preferably ones that wouldn’t get much use.

Oh and I’ve also got to make myself a winning team to use on the ladders. May as well see how easy it is to stop and learn more about them for when I face them with my other teams

Just my CycloDS

My CycloDS iEvolution, my CycloDS.

AWWWWWW YEAH!
So after days of telling me about how these things were amazing I listened to Foxx about getting one of these and yep, certainly worth it and now I’m pretty much overwhelmed with the possibilities of this thing that I am not utilising it heh.

Currently…or at least at the time I was typing this out I am playing 999 which is 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors and I’m enjoying that so far despite the fact I haven’t got far in it but the fact that I’m into it already is a good sign as there have been games where it has started off slow and recovered slightly or never really recovered at all and suffice to say it has not been the best of game experiences but I’m glad it most likely won’t happen with this.

So anyway I have this thing which allows me to play so many games and do so many things which means I can never ever be bored with it.

I’ve already played Pokémon Blaze Black…or rather I’m kind of playing it now along with 999 and I find it a new challenge…especially those damned Gym Leaders. I’m currently on the ice type and I am a bit more positive towards that than how I felt about the other gyms (except Elisa, she was easy) and that my team is better prepar- wait nooo I didn’t mean it like that gah haha. So yes my team is ready to take on Pryce and get my next badge.

I have also played Advance Wars Day of Ruin and found it to be vastly different from the Advance Wars before that (that was the whole point) but the storyline was better due to the darker tone. Not saying doom and gloom is all good but this comic pretty much has it summed up. While the battles in the main story mode were quite fun the last battle however is a no. I hated it and groaned the fact that yet again I’m facing a machine or thing as opposed to a proper army and that they have lasers that reduce your HP and mortars that do the same. Not my idea of a fun battle at all but no matter, I beat it anyway.

So yeah I have my CycloDS and from time to time I quickly go onto Tetris as it’s so quick and easy to set up and it is really fun and addictive. I’m actually really glad I got this, now I don’t really have to worry about missing out on good DS games anymore.

Not so final

Okay okay, I'm back, finally completed Final Fantasy XIII 100% and gotten all achievements, it wasn't that hard, the only one that took a while was really the treasure hunting achievement which required me to have,all weapons and accessories at some point in the game cue the time consuming act of upgrading weapons and items that I hadn't yet upgraded. Even had to do it twice because the first time I had actually ran out of money and truthfully was a bit wasteful with the points.
So now that is done I don't really need to play it again for a long long while, only for the story which...wasn't that epic but still, challenges or speedruns which I don't feel like doing with this game.
 
The next game I'll be tackling on the Xbox whenever I feel like it will be Dante's Inferno, an adventure based on the Divine Comedy. Despite whether this game was good or not and the fact that it's a hack and slash sort of adventure, I was always going to play this as I'm a sucker for historical and mythology based games...well, in certain time periods. As I think more about it and my history lesson in schools I guess I felt a bit mislead in what era of history we'd be studying but learning about the French Revolution was really just...well, boring, not enough sense of adventure for me, just learning about laws and similar political things. Ancient history just fascinates me and if I'm playing a game or watching a film or reading a book and having fun at the same time then that's all good I can learn something and even read up more about it and it's all good.
 
Of course I did get a lot of others to go with it and all for cheap, such is the benefit of being behind gaming wise, you don't have to spend absurd prices for new games, so I got myself Dante's Inferno, Bayonetta (another hack and slash but since it's gotten rave reviews I figured I may as well try it, plus it was cheap), Mirror's Edge (yes I am sooo late to this party but at 4 pounds I figured I can't lose), Assassin's Creed (something I've been meaning to try), The Orange Box (I guess I'll see for myself why the cake is a lie) and finally Zak and Wiki.
 
Now, Zak and Wiki is the only Wii game I got (not counting Madworld seeing as I got that afterwards and ordered that online) and I have a problem with that, why? Because the Wii I know has far better games than Family Party Games or the Ninjabread Man (seriously?), most of these are core Nintendo titles and there are others that I wish to try, I'm not a huge fun of Metroid like I am of other titles but they are still games I wish to try out regardless but the problem being, you cannot find them anywhere in shops oohh noo, probably understandably because they isn't a great variety and thus those are more likely to be gone but even so, Super Mario Galaxy for 30 pounds? No. I don't think so, yes yes, it's an amazing game that won lots of awards but no, I refuse to pay more than 20 pounds for a game that came out when the Wii was launched and has already gotten a sequel thus should really be diminishing the price because of that.

Epic Mickey, Kirby's Epic Yarn and Sonic Colors (American spelling urgh but unavoidable) are a little too recent to be a cheap prices so I'll wait it out despite my doubts it'll ever get cheaper than a tenner but I'll wait it out regardless, BUT WHERE ARE ALL THE GOOD CHEAP GAMES? This is just why I was disappointed with the Wii after buying it simply so I'd be able to play Brawl I was hoping that by the time I tired of it there'd be a good amount of other good games for me to try and quite frankly the choice for me isn't that huge.
 

Earlier than expected

Update time, so I got this call today from the Royal Free Hospital and GOOD NEWS, there's actually an earlier slot I can take for my surgery which is actually tomorrow rather than next week but every day counts so I took that slot. I could be back earlier than I thought...huh, feels weird to know that I could soon be playing football again if it all goes to plan but I'm happy if it means I can. First I need to do the pre-op first which I'm on my way to as I type this and will have done already when this gets posted up.

Also I got Tekken 6 and Final Fantasy XIII for my Xbox and got rid of Pro Evolution Soccer as it was just bad, might get it later at a reduced price if I feel like it but we'll see. Played Tekken 6 for the first time last night and first impressions are...it's bloody impossible to read the text on a standard definition television so while I struggle to make heads or tails of the commands and that the gameplay is not bad, takes a fair bit of getting used to with the Xbox controller. Haven't really done much with it yet, just watched the opening movie for scenario campaign, completed arcade mode with Zafina and just been in practise mode a whole lot but I think I like it.

Sure it's different to previous editions in that all the characters a unlocked from the start which means I don't get the sense of excitement at unlocking someone new but I guess it does mean I can pick whoever I want to. Next up is FFXIII and I eagerly await the next chapter in this instalment and hope it's just as much fun to play and the story is just as gripping as the previous games in the storyline.

Still has that annoyingly loud hum though

So now I have my Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii back from Lee I can play things on them really during the evenings and nights I’m not doing anything. YAY!

The only downside of it all is no internet connection which means can’t really go only with most of these games but meh that’s alright to be honest I can deal with that. Got sooo many good games I need to catch up with and all that.

My weekend also consisted of updating my CV and job hunting which I’m hoping maybe some employers will actually get back to me but ya know.

So I got to play all sorts of games like Left 4 Dead 2 and that’s still and fun and exciting as ever so I think I’ll be sticking with that. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the game that everyone raves about about that…yeah, that’s sort of put me off that as did the fact that it’s a serious first person shooting game and I find them to be quite dreary so I don’t think I will have much love for that but I’ll try and complete it but it really isn’t my sort of game. I also learned that perhaps I need to get some more games for the Wii as Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers Brawl isn’t really cutting it anymore, Sonic Colours looks interesting though so I might consider that

Finally there was Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 which yeah…no, that’s awful and is going back. I don’t have much patience for that anymore and I’ll see if I can get something else for that. Just awful.

But what lies in wait for today though?

Well today should involve me going various places and hoping signing on for a computer course and that which no doubt will help my qualifications a bit, more job hunting and all that jazz.
