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.
Heeey........
Just want to share something special with you guys.
I received a very interesting email this afternoon.
I don't know if this is a hoax or not so don't flame my ass.
I just think this mail is dodgy.
If it is legit, please, feel free to tell me.
Look at that business-like guy there.
A white laptop?
White shirt, white building, white walls.
A red tie and black hair?
Really dude?
Is that what Paypal looks like?
That's its avatar?
I mean, why is there the word 'Paypal' at the side of the picture?
The greeting is 'Dear Customer'.
Who does that these days?
People have names yo.
If you want their money, you should address them appropriately.
Why does the word 'Customer' have a capital C?????
Shouldn't it be lowercase?What sort of problem is my account facing anyway?
Did someone use it?
Is there a deposit of a million dollars?
Or a withdrawal of a million dollars?
It's too vague.
Give me a solid reason to click the link.
You should know by now there are lots of scammers out there who enjoy sending money-sucking links.
At the third bullet point, what's with the exclamation mark after the full stop?
I'm not being a punctuation Nazi but you know.
This is un-befitting of a formal mail.
If you're going to have a professional avatar, you should deliver a professional job.
He may look like a generic professional dude but nonetheless, a professional.
At least, a projection of one.
Give the model some credit.
I also think that it's strange that you would ask me to get more out of my account in the mail that says my account has a problem.
Jeeberz man, one thing at a time.
Calm your panties down.
If the service is good, I will go back for more.
This might not be strange to some people but it is to me.
Ohhhhhh all this bitching.
Paypal, do a better job next time if you want me to update my account.
I promise I'll do as instructed.
By the way, did I mention that I don't have a Paypal account?
Damn right it's a hoax!
Lalalalalalalalalala.
Let's start with the usual opening.
Can't wait for the New 3DS and Story of Seasons.
Waiting for my Angora rabbit.
Still looking for a permanent job.
Still playing Super Smash because it's not old yet, to me at least.
Still unpacking for some reason.
Waiting for the second episode of Game Of Thrones.
A shout-out to the books. Love them. George RRRRRRRR, get moving.........now.
Can't wait for Final Fantasy Type-O and XV - #butthey'resogay #hatecomments #XVisK-pop #XVhasnoboobs #themgraphicsyo #whyyoudothiscarlzodin
Yeah well, I love the trailers people!!
Also, it's not nice to use the word 'gay' to describe things you consider negative or you think they exude evil aura that makes you behave like a pussy.
Bad people, bad bad Sleipnirs.
Garage is bursting with maggots.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D looks good, not because it's 3D.
It's because it has a cool story.
To me, graphics is just a bonus yo.
A new atelier game - Atelier Shallie.
Annnnnnnnnnnnd finally, the sickest (in a bad way, not good way) thing.
Club Nintendo is closing.
I'm not going to bitch about it.
There's still time to spend my lovelies.
Gonna get some nostalgic titles like Zelda and Ice Climber.
I haven't seen what's available but I have a pretty clear idea of what I want and what they have.
With all that said,there is this question bugging me.
Why stop now?
Is it bringing the company to a loss?
To the point that they have to strike a deal with Youtubers?
Youtubers are getting stuff out of the deal too of course.
Maybe all these things are just one big fad?
Seasonal money-making techniques.....pooeee.....
Just greedy?
I'm going to go with that.
Because that reason is almost always the one.
But I'll still give you the BOD, so you have that from me Nintendo.
Ahhhhhh Telltale.......
Murderer of favourite/awesome characters since 2009.
Kill in an impressive fashion though so you may pass my anger.
I understand that it makes the story more memorable.
It's a human thing. I get it.
George RRRRRRRRRRRRR gets it too and he's famous for it.
Jaime Lannister..........you got the first line of the game.
Always the first one to make the first move to introduce the first episode.
I hope Mira isn't a psycho. She has crazy eyes.
Then again all of them do......
Ramsay is an ass, like always.
I feel bad for Ethan.
At least he died intact. Both skin and his little best friend still there.
I called it the moment they said Ramsay was going there to meet him.
We all know Ramsay is a dick.
Who collects dicks.
So what is in store in the next episode?
How about someone from the Targaryen side?
Come on..............
We know one thing - no one can be trusted.
As demonstrated countless time.
Even the loyal ones become the 'loyal' ones at some point.
Mira's little boyfriend, can he be trusted?
I don't know!
That guard who stares at her all the time......
Is it Asher?
From the description they gave, he's a fighter yeah...but someone who lurks around, silently watching his enemies.....?
I don't think so.
If he's there looking after Mira........I buy that.
Is Sera a good person...?
Don't know........she could be Cersei's bitch.
Everyone is everyone's bitch in that universe.
That's how everyone rolls.
Movie of the day - The Knights Of Badassdom.
This movie makes me want to LARP.
Right........now........
Must Tyrion be the bad-lucky one all the time?
SERIOUSLY GUYS!!
What did I say about coming games?
Reboots, HD-fied, 3D-ied.
Where are the truly new games yo!!
Majora Mask? Really...?
BTW, wasn't kidding about my garage and maggots.
Though the number isn't enough to heal the wound of anger in me.
It seems the previous tenants rejoiced in playing hide-and-seek with food.
I've finally settled in!
Done unpacking!
Have boxes to get rid of!
Why do I even bother?
Yippy kai-eh!
Good news - Release date for the New 3DS!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!
Bad news - Can't get a permanent job!
Happy and satisfied....???????????
What a great new year!
More posts to come!!!
I'm moving to a new place..........so...um.....
I'm packing!
Can't blog without breaking a plate or two, here and there but eh....
As long as I get my fun blogging about it.
Apart from that, sis is getting married and my graduation ceremony will take place in the same week as the wedding, in two different, far-away-from-each-other places!
November and December are very action-packed months for me this year.......
I'm so looking forward to everything!!! I just love the idea of tormenting myself!! Such despair!
Junko fucking Enoshima must be very proud of me!
I've been on my handhelds a WHOLE darn lot.
Ain't kidding ma dear Sleipnirs.
I played Bayonetta 2 for only a few hours before my Wii U went into the box.
A few hours isn't enough to satisfy my fix nor is it enough to tell what's going on yet.
Such is the trauma I'm going through, haha...........
Some may think I'm exaggerating but you know.....
You're not me! You don't know my struggles! You don't what I've been through! =P
Gaming is my life! Kweeeehhhhh.....
And moving destroyed that!
My clan! My dignity! My everythingggggggg......
And on top of that........
My favourite Pokémon, Rayquaza, mega-evolves into a semi-decayed floating green anchovy.
At least there's something sweet coming on the way.
Mewtwo in Super Smash Bros/Hoes!! -give the ladies some attention-
Thank you Sakurai!
I dreamt about Mewtwo in SSB/H before the 3DS version was released.
Not a perverted dream, as if Mewtwo hadn't suffered enough.
It was literally playing as Mewtwo.
Anyway, what I can really talk about are Fantasy Life and HM: The Lost Valley.
Not going to spoil anything, don't worry.
I've been on those two amidst the boxes of crap in my room.
I don't claim to be an expert, I'm still trying to uncover more of the games like forging armors and weapons and ranking and mining, all the usual stuff in RF/HM.
You know how there's a certain bonus that we can have depending on materials used in forging or special crops I can grow, yeah, I'm trying to find out if all these things are in these two games.
Do they share these things with their sort-of predecessors?
FL is somewhat like RF, pretty much the same team or only some of the RF dudes worked on it.
I can tell you that there's a lot to do in FL and TLV.
Day 1 itself - I started FL and was quite impressed by the extent of character customization.
The 3DS card can only hold so much data without sacrificing other features yeah?
By the way, I started as an alchemist.....
Hey, never forget October 3rd, 1910 right?
I would definitely recommend these two games.
WHY can't I play as a Targaryen in Telltale GoT?
WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS?
We once again begin as a Stark....well, a supporter of the Stark.
Still, I can't wait.
Fire And Ice - Sounds pretty good already.
