Valley Born From Blood

I've been playing a lot.
I have to confess or I won't be able to sleep.
Sheaaah right.

I would love to say a few something about two games I've played.
They have kept me sane and I'm grateful.
It feels like I've attained immortality. Like always.
Before that high wears out, I shall discuss their amazing-ness and also turn-off-ing-ness.

But before that.........

GAME OF THRONES - SEASON 5!!
More dragons!!!!!!!!!!! -mostlikelynot-
YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!

Bloodborne is a pretty good game.
I give it a thumbs up.
Yes. I love it. Not just because of the over-display of blood on people and monsters.
The bosses are fun to beat over and over.
It's never the same even if I had one strategy locked down.
That's essentially the beauty of action adventure and fluid gameplay.
You can do pretty much anything with some limitations.
I like how everything is not given to the player.
Like how I had to figure out what to do next.
Maybe I'm just dense but I had to go around gathering pieces in order to progress and I loved that.
I did spend a great deal of time looking for stuff and it was quite wearisome at times but hey, a game isn't worth playing if it's easy-peasy.
What killed the fun though not seriously was unreachable loot.
I don't know if anyone had this glitch but I couldn't get my loot at times because it's stuck.
The increased difficulty and further exploration to find lore and other secrets make this a replay-able game somewhat.
Replay value is one of the characteristics that makes me love a game so this one gets a B.
Music/sounds is good and befitting.
Graphics is great, as expected of a PS4 game and detailed.
Monsters look great. I love their designs and look at them walking tampons!
Can't get enough of blood from shows and animes?
Play. This. Game.

Next up!
Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley by Natsume.
Let us first explore the name.
It's a HARVEST MOON GAME as the name says.
I don't know what's up with the argument about the name.
People claiming that this isn't a real HM game and SoS is.
Which means you're saying TLV is a fake HM game?
This whole name thing is a legal issue. Natsume owns the right to the name. That's it guys.
Honestly, to me, it's just a name.
What makes it HM in the first place?
Is it the farming part? The marriage part? The animal part? Befriending neighbours? The art style?
The style varies with each installment....so what's up really?? 
Hmmmm.......
Does that mean The Sims is a fake HM game?
You can plant stuff, have pets and get married with the extra bow-chicka-bow-wow part.
Not only that, you can get a divorce or sleep around and jinx people.
Wouldn't that make The Sims far more superior in terms of interaction than HM?
Please don't get me started on Farmville.
Don Mattrick clearly can't.
HM is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better.
Anyway, onwards to Minecraft TLV!
It's fun. The land is your playground. Shape it however you want because you're the only one there! 
No one cares if you destroy everything.
Excessive deforestation? Go ahead.
Landslide? Yes, make them bleeeeeeeeed.
Drill, fill, till, kill!!
That's a fun factor - personalizing your farm land.
The one important mission - unlocking seasons.
The villagers are unlocked from certain activities like fishing as you progress with the story and season unlocking.
That's not as bad as it sounds. It's like ANB except no access to the season and facilities instead of just the facilities which also means your potential spouse and friends.
If you're the kind who gets bored of seeing the same thing, you might flip.
It's pretty much winter the whole time. It takes quite awhile to unlock the next season and the next one. 
You could unlock a season but if it's not currently that time of the year, the effect of the crystal reviving that season is moot.
It's amazing how we can save the land with strawberry jam.
I like how we don't have to pull our tools out without ripping our pants.
Actions are initiated upon contact.
Want to milk your cow and water your veges? Just stand there and look pretty.
Something to think about would be the soil quality. A bit of RF4 for you there.
Have to be careful so that they don't dry out, depending of how fertile the soil is of course.
As for flowers, can't just plant them anywhere.
Bone-picking time!
What is up with the Harvest Sprites??? Not talking about their looks.
Diligence people!!
They can't work for an appropriate amount of time.
I have to ring the barn bell to get my animals out and in? Cool. Better than pushing.
So...........
Why do I need the sprite???!!!!!!
Why can't I do this on my own???!!!
My social links!! Where fore art thou fun social life????
I can't go anywhere! People come to me but not every day?? Hanging around my house? Looking into my windows? No way! Are you spying???
Don't really like that. I've always enjoyed walking around town, talking to people and giving them gifts.
Drawing graffiti on their homes! 
Yeah, I live a thug's life.
I wish we could travel to town but no.
We could go to Heaven, but not town. Can't you flipping believe it!!
That makes me salty........ 
If they aren't there on that day, you don't see them......at........all.
Anyway, music and art style!!
HM music is always good. Relaxing and filled with serenity, more so than yoga.
Art style - cute and realistic!
Realistic in a way that people are like that in real life!
So arrogant up there that their heads expand to the size of a pumpkin leaving the torso unattended.
That makes no sense but seriously......I think the characters are pretty and bubbly and item avatars are just swell XD
I'll end this with a note worthy of your attention.
Dewey sucks.
