Dark Souls - ???

A revised version after I realized there are people who probably like the game lol.

I just got done with Dark Souls, and I was wondering what people thought on the game? If anyone has played it? I see a lot of 9.5 and 9 reviews. But honestly it just eludes me how it got such a good review. It's not a bad game, and it's certainly aimed at a very select audience.

But I mean even within that audience surely they must realize that the only hook to it is that it's challenging, in which case the only thing challenging is the lack of information, not knowing monsters with melee weapons can extend their arms in some graphical glitch type way to send unblockable attacks at you that do half your health in damage. And then you die and fight back through a bunch of easy mobs since you already know what they do up to your corpse and do the same thing again with the next ridiculous enemy you find.

Mass Effect 3 - Review (PS3)

Pros

• Appeals to a wide audience with multiple ways to play.

1. Great involving story with many dialog choices to make.
2. Has the option as well to play as a straight action game where you will not have to make any choices.

• Amazing visuals even on console systems.
• A lot of character development available to make your character to suit your play style.
• Content taken from Mass Effect 2 and 1 works flawlessly.
• Removal of pointless time sinks like hacking, scanning planets for resources, etc..

Cons

• (PS3) Lots of graphical stuttering, I would suggest not playing on a console platform if possible.
• Lots of bugs on the new content they have developed for mass effect 3.
• Abilities occasionally glitch out.
• Some missions are broken making them near impossible to complete without doing things in a specific way.
• Pretty much the same as Mass Effect 2 and 1 with a new story.
• Published by EA.

NOTICE - Blog Update

You know when I first started this blog I did it because I was tired of all the mainstream sites telling me how I was supposed to feel about a game or anime, giving it 7s and 9s arbitrary numbers with little to no meaning.

But sadly I have ended up in the same pattern because it seemed like the most effective method to convey how I feel about a game or anime, but the whole point in my blog was to convey things on a personal level.

Share my experiences with the readers get them excited about games or animes they might not try otherwise, increase their horizons as a gamer or watcher, sadly I feel I have failed to do this with my past reviews.

So at this moment I am working towards developing a better system that involves the person as a individual and to write more about my personal experience rather then information you can obtain anywhere on the internet.

So far I have a few ideas that I will be trying out in future reviews, as well as I might update old reviews if I find a system I really like.

Guild Wars 2 - Preview

Guild Wars 2 is being created by ArenaNet and so far it is quite a interesting game. It is a fullfledged MMORPG, in Guild Wars 1 you were often instanced off from the rest of the world, While this was not a huge problem to me it felt more like a Multi-player game with a visual chat lobby then a MMO. 

It is still currently in beta so there should still be chances to try and participate in the game's creation before it is actually launched. I personally have not made it into the beta so I won't have many pictures or videos to give you myself, however I have been following a few people creating Guild Wars 2 videos from the beta which I will link you to.

Infamous 2 - Review

Infamous 2 is quite a interesting game, you play as Cole a normal guy who was delivering a package when it exploded, the explosion was a Ray Sphere or at least I think that's how you spell it. This Ray Sphere gave Cole superpowers, more so it gave him the power to control electricity.

Being someone who controls electricity there is various things you can do with said electricity, for instance using it to horribly fry people to death, or using it to surf along power lines, or even gliding for short durations. However you will run out of electricity eventually then you will need to siphon some more from well anything that has electricity in it. TVs, AC units, Cars, even random pedestrians you can use to bio leech electricity from.
