The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Super awesome dungeons and filled with other crap

It is interesting to me that when I first played through this game I didn't like it at all and felt that a good chunk of my life had been shit on since I didn't like Twilight Princess one bit and now this game was pissing me off. I went back months later to play it again since I remembered somethings about it that were calling out to me.

First I will explain what I didn't like and still don't like about the game. The first hour and a half of the game is total shit. Fuck all that pre learn how to play the game crap. What about when you replay the game again? All of that is garbage to get through. So the good thing is I can copy a save file at the point where the game picks up for me and start from there each time. The beginning of the game for me is when you go into the first dungeon. Next I do not like that big spiky thing that comes out of the center of the pit three times in the game. I don't even remember what it is called. Some of the sword movements don't work so well with the remote and it pisses me the fuck off that I have to double take most moves. The flying around in the sky part is shit and it wastes my god damn time flying from place to place. This game really has some filler bullshit to make it a longer game. Most of it is ok and adds to the enjoyment, some though is down right crap on Nintendo's part. Going in and out of the cloud to go back and forth for different reasons is a really good huge waste of time. Fuck having to spend huge amounts of time on pointless shit. Windwaker is the worst with this. The dungeons are my favorite parts of Zelda games and it makes me wonder why there isn't more focus on dungeons and less focus on flying around or riding horses. Fuck all that shit. Give me the guts of the game. One more thing that is super dumb is when I would land in the wrong area and realize I need to get to another area right by where I'm at. I have to go back up into the clouds and drop back down again. They should have used the robot to come down and do a quick pick and drop when you are in the same area instead of the waste of time they have in the game. 

Now for the good things. The audio is fantastic and I remember most parts of the game well because of the sound. The wii remote swinging crap is ok with me in this game and I feel like a pussy holding the remote in the air for the skyward move, still I'm ok with it and kind of think it works well. The dungeons are the shit in this game and right up there with Ocarina of time. Windwaker dungeons are ok, nothing like Skyward or Ocarina. These dungeons are clever and have imagination. They are also extremely entertaining to play. Each dungeon mixes it up so there is very little of the same thing in each of them. The game is beautiful, my eyes are pleased to see many cool things in this game (mostly in the dungeons).

This game is one of my favorite games of all time. The shitty parts of the game are so shitty that it distracted me from the beautiful parts of the game on my first play through. After some good time (about a hundred hours) I can focus on the good parts of the game and ignore the shitty parts. Life can be bitter sweet and so can video games. 

Metroid Prime ruined

After writing my post about Metroid I did something horrible dumb and got an itch to play Metroid Prime. This game is ruined by those damn white fucks and especially the enemies that are in most all of the game, the guys that fly around shooting missiles at you. The exploration and kinda outdated graphics are ruined by this repetitive shit. I only played through it once when it first came out a long time ago. The game was cool looking then and even then I thought those enemies ruined the game. Pretty much all the enemies in the game are annoying and ruin the experience of enjoying oneself.

After all these years it definitely looks to me that the developers were pushed for a deadline and filled in the game with this crap. It is totally sucking major dick when you have to go back through the same areas and fight off the same bullshit time after time.

I have never said fuck Metroid Prime, today I am. FUCK you MP.

Advance Wars first class gaming

I purchased Advance Wars for the DS back when it first came out and didn't know anything about the game before I picked it up at a game store. I must have been bored out of my mind to simply buy a game like that without knowing what it was about. In this case it was a good move.

Advance Wars are my favorite strategy games and I like every one that has been released. The simplicity of the game makes the strategy the focus. It is like chess and better than chess in my opinion. My mind can get so involved in those games I don't think any other game can completely own all of my mind at once. I think I would take it personal if there was someone that said they didn't like the games to my face. Oh the respect I would lose for those that didn't find the beauty of the Advance Wars franchise.

Once I had learned about Advance Wars Dual Strike I tried the game boy advanced Advance Wars games and liked those big time as well. Then the latest came out Days of Ruin. That game is also the shit and I like the apocalyptic setting. There are changes in the game that I think improve upon the strategy. Days of Ruin is the most difficult of all of the games and I like the challenge. If I had to pick a favorite it would be Dual Strike.

                                            

                                         

I'm a bit irritated with the fact they haven't released another Advance Wars lately. Instead Fire Emblem has taken front seat. I tried out Fire Emblem games and didn't get into it. It is only a matter of time before there will be another. I will have to be patient. There is plenty to do in the existing games and that should take care of me until the next game. It would be excellent if they put out a console version and no battalion wars doesn't count. I want the real shit. I don't want real time strategy, I want turn base.

If you have not played any of the Advance Wars games and if you have a game boy advance or DS you are in luck and can go straight to Ebay for the goods. If you don't have a game boy advanced or DS, in my opinion it is more than worth buying a used DS to play any of the Advance war games.

Metroid: Nintendo Madness

 Not all Metroid games are in my give a shit about pile. Super Metroid is an epic game. I go back and play this frequently. There are so many things about this game that draw me in. The game flows and keeps me wanting more even after playing it a hundred times. I exercise my brain each time I play remembering everything that has to be done to get to the end a champ. The visuals, the audio, the game play is all first class. Super creative design and unforgettable scenery make this game a classic I will never forget about. You would think that Nintendo would maybe exceed standards with the 2D handheld Metroid games and in my opinion they fall way short. It would be difficult to make a 2D Metroid game better than Super Metroid. Sure some will disagree, which is their problem not mine. 

Metroid corruption is another one of my favorite games. I was living with a friend when the first Metroid Prime came out. I was in his room playing my new copy of Prime on a small ass tv. I didn't give a fuck, I was sucked in big time. I was totally into that game and it was so cool and new I thought I feared I might have been dreaming. I was pumped for Echoes and was let down. I was not a fan of that game and the dark crap you have to move around is boring and annoying. Most people like that game and I say go ahead and play it if you like. When corruption came out I didn't even bother with it because of echoes. I didn't play corruption until years later when I was bored at a game shop and picked it up. Then I started to play the beginning and thought the game was horrible and kind of dumb in  a way. I stuck with it like I should for most games and the juice started to flow. The game got better and better. I'm glad I kept playing because I would have never found out that the game is one of the best games ever made. I don't like the beginning so I played up to the point where I like the game and saved it in first slot. Every time I want to play I copy to second slot and that is the beginning of the game for me. I did this with skyward sword as well and any other game that has shit in the beginning I want to avoid. 

Corruption is so good I don't have any desire to go back and play Prime. I have and it is a waste of time because it doesn't compare to corruption at all. Corruption exceeds the standard by miles and miles. 

Corruption is a well put together game and way more open world. The atmosphere changes up throughout the game and so do ways of progressing. If you haven't played Metroid Corruption or Super Metroid you now know you need to dump your girlfriend and get both games and consoles pronto.

Metroid Other M is not even worth mentioning. Read other peoples opinions elsewhere and that is likely what I think of the game. I think Nintendo learned their lesson with that game. I highly doubt they will team up with that director or tecmo again. 

The very first NES metroid started it all for me and is a classic. I have gone back to play the game and it has lost it's appeal. I skip it for Super Metroid every time. 

Dead Space 3 Hollywood DRAMA and Super TEDIOUS repetitive game play

Dead Space 3 was a major let down. The story would have made a nice graphic cartoon. The game play was utter shit. If that was the very first Dead Space maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Dead Space 2 was killer awesome and built up upon the first Dead Space. DS3 was a pretty game and some of the art to the game was nice. Still the game play doesn't measure up with the other parts of the game and game play is basically the entire fucking game.

The Story with Ellie his girlfriend turned me on because it put some pussy drama into my life. I felt like I had been betrayed by the bitch and her new boyfriend was my arch nemesis. I have a huge hard on for space sci fi movies and games like Event Horizon and even the movie Moon comes to mind. When I saw the previews for the first Dead Space I was pumped hard. This horror style survive some shit game was super cool shit when I got my hands on it. The game was using some movies as idea foundations however this was a new idea for gaming and I was down big time. Dead Space two is over the top with coming through on the awesome game they were promising. The game was packed with life and kind of gave me a headache because there was so much on the screen at one time. I could go on and on about this game. Simply it is one of my favorites.

Dead Space 3 has zero build up with the game play. The music goes back and forth every time a monster pops out which is every three seconds. It reminds me of arcade shooters. This is no good, this is unacceptable. I get that they went where the money is however that is not enough. The money is where games are entertaining ya bunch of morons. I went pretty far into the game and felt it was tedious to keep going any further. I was so bored with the game and wanted to find out if Isaac would get Ellie back and if they would bang at some point. The ending of the second game was pretty cool and even wanting to know how the third game turned out I simply didn't want to progress any further. So I have no idea what happened to those two lovers. Isaac sure was a pussy in this game. Ellie was calling the shots and he was being a little bitch doing everything she told him to do. He was sad and bitter about the pairing with her new man. The new man is a goon and she is using him to make Isaac jealous. This is a Hollywood plot and I was into the drama. The plot stirred up old memories of girlfriends or the lack of girlfriends. To bad the game blows. Hey EA think about making a movie out of this plot.

Ellie teasing Isaac with her slutty bust

Game companies are ruining masterpieces. You get pumped about a game and trust the next one will be the shit. You pre-order the game and pick it up full price only to be utterly disappointed when you play it for three minutes. I can never trust any game right out. I have to find out about games after the release and seek out some kind of rental to spare myself the grief.

I do believe we haven't seen the last of Dead Space. I want Horror, I want to play a new, unique, engaging, experience. Make the game gruesome, make it dark and super tense. Give me heads and bodies exploding. Let me be able to shoot a thousand different enemies, let me shoot a thousand different guns. I want it to be difficult and feel powerful at the same time. I don't want anything predictable. Make the game mechanics smooth like butter. So give it to me mutha fukas. I also want to see Ellie naked. By the way give Isaac his balls back.

Splinter Cell Blacklist has many great Qualities in the gameplay

I finished playing all the way through the single player campaign PC version. At first I was skeptical as I started to play through. Differences were distracting me from seeing all the possibilities that this games has. I pushed through and the game started to reveal more.

You want action or you want stealth, it's up to you with this game and it doesn't feel like you have fucked up if you go the action route. It was satisfying however I chose to go. If you are into the game and learn about the different gadgets and weapons you will excel and play like a strategic champ. If you play the game like a meat head that is used to no brain run and gun games you will get fucked up and blame the game for being shitty.

I got killed a shit load of times and went back for more very pissed off. Since I have my game loaded on a solid state drive my reload time was only around 3-5 seconds. I could imagine this is shitty for people that have to wait each time they die to go back at it again. Reloading and loading times are a real pain in the ass and it would be a relief if gaming systems had SSD.

I haven't even touched the online part of the game and that has to be some great gaming, however I will leave that to other people. I'm not much of an online game guy, I get my ass kicked.

I have disliked cut scenes in video games and have wanted them to stay out and leave that shit to movies. This game is a rare occasion, I actually watched all of them all the way through. Even though the face movements have been better in games years passed the story was compelling and I enjoyed it. I'm surprising myself because I usually don't have this many good things to say about action games.

I am a fan of the old day splinter cells like pandora tomorrow and chaos theory. I liked rainbow six games and ghost recon 2 was good times. I never played splinter cell conviction and didn't really like the first splinter cell that came out with xbox 360. I never know what franchise will surprise me with a hit. This game is a hit and the best new game I've played sadly since Dead Space 2 or Skyward Sword, oh can't forget Donkey Kong country returns. All games that came out a while ago. I play all kinds of games so any kind of game could have been mentioned. Sure I like violence and I like to be involved in a game too. This game is very involving.

The replay will be fun times. I look forward to playing the shit out of this game and buying everything there is to buy. I want to be powerful like replaying Resident Evil 4. I do like to remember how to kill levels and this is cool because you can go through each campaign a different way. I want to be able to go through it hardcore stealth style and slice and dice everyone.

Things get mixed up and some people might not like this. I don't care if franchises change. What I care about is if the game is highly entertaining. The game plays good once you get the hang of how your character moves around. Learning curve will take a few hours. First play through is a learning experience all the way. My skill improved and later in the game I was dancing around enemies.

I looked up reviews and was surprised to see some people having a bad experience. I'm thinking these people are horrible at challenging games and I'm not talking about brutally slow paced hard games like Dark Souls. I'm saying you have to use your brain with this game and you have to accept change. It's not a simple game, there is a lot to it and that is a major part of the game being so awesome.

The Wii U version looks like it has some extras that I'm missing out on. The additional stuff on the pad looks pretty cool and is a good look at what that pad is capable of. When I get a Wii U I will have to give it a play.

While I play the game I'm reminded of games like Snake Eater and Manhunt. Both of these games were the shit and I like being reminded of classics when I play a game. It is a good direction for gaming to go in my opinion.

Like I say there are tons of shitty games put out and very few are gems. This game is a gem. 

Shadow of Colossus Epic game of the century

Shadow of colossus my third favorite game of all time and as far as creativity goes it is my favorite game. When I looked at still images before the game came out I was very interested in the concept. It wasn't clear to me how the game would play. All I knew was the visuals looked amazing. Once I had the game and was playing the first colossus I went ape. I couldn't believe that other game developers couldn't make more games like this one. This game had surpassed so many other games and the originality of the game was way above the norm.

The fact that there are no enemies along the way to the colossus makes the game that more interesting. I am familiar with games having enemies along the way in every adventure game I've played. This was fresh and took balls to stray away from what people are used to. The center focus was exploring this rich world filled with different landscapes and slaying different types of colossus.

One colossus that sticks out in my mind is the bird you hop on over the lake. Once I got to that area and jumped in the water I was liking the art and how the water looked the right shade and the atmosphere felt real. Latching onto the bird colossus as it fly's by is awesome.

Stabbing the colossus in the sweet spot and blood spurting out is a highlight in the game. Now this is gaming and the climax is rewarding. Try to stay a hold of the colossus while they try to shake you off gives the game life. The movements the colossus make are right on the mark. I read an article about how a lot of focus went into making it feel like the colossus where very big in the game. The movements had a lot to do with this illusion.

I have the PS3 HD version and I don't like it. The controls feel different and there is a zooming in I don't like. Also it feels fucked up with climbing around on the colossus. Maybe it's only me I don't know, fuck the HD. If I'm going to play the game I plug my PS2 in and play it how I'm used to playing it.

Ico was an ok game and I enjoyed it kind of. That game is a play it once and that is it game for me game. Don't get me wrong there is some cool shit in the game, nothing like Shadow of Colossus though.

Like many people I have had my sights on The Last Guardian. I will wait ten years for a game to be made epic. This is looking like a PS4 release which is fucked because 80% of the reason why I bought a PS3 was for this game. If the game takes another four years to make then fuck it let it be. That release will be one of the biggest anticipated games of all time. Only a game like Shadow of Colossus could build that much curiosity about what the next game would be like. I think this is why the game is taking so much time to come out. This is a lot of pressure and if the game is going to be better than the previous that is a hefty task.

If you have never played Shadow of Colossus your shit is fucked up and a PS2 slim and the game should be your very next purchase.
