E3 2013 conferences rant

June 12th, 2013

As usual I do a quick impressions post about all the big 3 conferences. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are showing stuff and I’m just giving my opinion.

I’ll try to do something different from my usual inconsistent ranting… I’ll list the positives and negatives or whatever, with short comments, and then my overall impressions.

Let’s Go!

OUYA first impressions

May 28th, 2013

Ouya blows
The Ouya is somewhat out! And 2 months after they told us shipping began, I finally have mine. My hype for this system was less than positive, and the last 2 months have done this system and company no favors.

So now that I wasted a day with it, I’ll write my first impressions on this unimpressive console! I’ll redo another post about it once/if it starts getting games to play and more features.

Read on!

Games coming out in June 2013

May 25th, 2013

Still being slow on my reviews because, again, not playing a whole lot of stuff, and at this point what I AM playing I’ve either already reviewed, or have been out for a couple months so aren’t really worth reviewing…

So JUNE! E3 time, fuck yeah! Sony will show their launch plans for the PS4 (which I really hope turns out okay), Nintendo will reveal a bunch of Wii U games and make it worth buying… Oh and Microsoft will fail to redeem themselves after their horrible reveal.

But there’s also a couple releases: 2 for 3DS, 1 PS3 exclusive, 2 Vita games (whoa!), 2 Wii U games (WHOA!!!!) and 2 multiplats.

Usual disclaimer: Those include either games I’m interested in, or games that may be/become popular… Basically anything I feel bears mentioning, whether I’m personally hyped for it or not.

All hype is lost: why people don’t care about the 8th gen

May 22nd, 2013

Haven’t posted much in a while, partly because I haven’t been video gaming much in the last month, but today I feel like posting. Might be because of my own E3 hype, or the fact that Microsoft flubbed their Xbox reveal today, I dunno.

The competitors are lined up and the 8th gen is looking!… pretty lame. That’s not to say there’s nothing interesting down the pipeline, but I’m noticing a general lack of excitement for this new generation (not just from myself, but just looking around at the gaming community), as if new consoles weren’t just about to come out… And I think I can actually explain it.

So what I’ll do here is give my personal hype for the 8th gen consoles, and attempt to explain why there’s a general lack of enthusiasm for them in the gaming public.

And I will note that I’ll do another post for my E3 impressions, but there may be some repetition here if some of the companies fail to impress again.

Games coming out in May 2013

April 28th, 2013

Not much to say here, May has basically nothing coming out. This’ll be quick. 1 3DS release, 5 multiplats, nothing else.

Usual disclaimer: Those include either games I’m interested in, or games that may be/become popular… Basically anything I feel bears mentioning, whether I’m personally hyped for it or not.

Let’s go!

Guacamelee review

April 21st, 2013

Guacamelee
From one metroidvania to another! Guacamelee didn’t really catch my
attention for the longest time, but I still decided to pick it up when it came out, just to have something to play on my Vita even if for just a few hours.

This is gonna be fast, read on!

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate review

April 21st, 2013

Castlevania Shits of Shadows Mirror of Fate
I recently put up a post about my impressions of the game’s demo, which didn’t impress me. I still ended up picking up the game, used, for cheaper than usual used prices, happily not giving Konami any of my money.

But I did come out of the experience at least enjoying it a bit, which is more than I was expecting after playing the demo.

Read on and see what I liked, or not!

DmC review

April 21st, 2013

DmC sucks balls
I’ve spewed my hate on this terrible game a few times before, and gave my insanely negative impressions of the terrible demo, and now I’m doing it again!… I actually played through most of the game (I have 2 missions left), so now I can give a more legit opinion.

Games coming out in April 2013

March 24th, 2013

This is a pretty empty month surprisingly, but there’s a couple cool releases upcoming… Oh, and kickstarter backers such as I will be getting their OUYA consoles near the beginning of the month so you can expect a post where I’ll bash the console! … Probably.

Either way… In April we’re getting: 2 3DS titles, a Vita game, a PS3 game, a 360 game and 3 multiplats. As I said, slow month.

Usual disclaimer: Those include either games I’m interested in, or games that may be/become popular… Basically anything I feel bears mentioning, whether I’m personally hyped for it or not. I’m probably missing some stuff (generally the more indie stuff).

Let’s go!

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch review

March 24th, 2013

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the Character that doesn't do anything until 30 hours into the game
I took a while to review this one because… well I wanted to play it to the end and it’s a long RPG, with me not having that much time to play games, and playing other things as well (including other RPGs…), thus I couldn’t really write a review in a timely manner. So here’s my review, finally!

Let’s just go right at it!
