Next Gen Consoles

Alright, so we've got the XBox 1 and the PS4. Well, there's the Wii U but nobody really thinks about it too much. I'm really hoping to see a lot more stuff come onto the Wii U over the next year though.

So, right now I'm liking the PS4 better. I don't really care for any of the exclusives coming to the XBox 1, and the PS4 exclusives catch my eye more. I think the only XBox 1 exclusives I'll care about at any point could possibly be the Halo games, but even then I'm not too sure about that. The price tag does help a little bit right now as well, since I can't afford to be spending much. I may end up getting an XBox 1 at some point if the line-up starts to shape up, but for now I don't really have any reason to.

Now, about the rest of the games for next-gen consoles. Watch Dogs is something I'm really looking forward to! It's the kind of game I've been thinking about ever since I've started gaming, an open world modern game. The new Final Fantasy XV also looks pretty interesting, I'm looking forward to see how SE does with this new entry in the series. The two MMO games, Tom Clancy's The Division and Destiny, I'm thinking it will be good for a lot of fun with friends. These kinds of MMO games are what I've been hoping to see ever since I played my first MMORPG, Dark Age of Camelot. Ah, good old times.

I'm really quite excited for the games coming out next-gen, as these are the kinds of games I've been desiring to see come out of game companies! Now that we have the technology, the capability to create the games is here, and I'm definitely way too excited for this! I can't wait to play it all, and I'm looking forward to everything that will be created in the future!

Thoughts on The Last of Us

The Last of Us released on the 14th, so after picking it up I got to playing this game, and so far I've been having an awesome time! The Last of Us is an action-adventure survival horror game developed by Naughty Dog for the PS3. The game tells the tale of a man traveling cross-country to smuggle a girl to a group called the Fireflies.

Rambling about Roguelikes

I've played... wait, scratch that, tried playing several roguelikes. I've probably only made it for 10 minutes in most of them for each of my lives, never really getting very far. I guess I'm just not very good at planning out things, or I've been screwed by the RNG every time. Even though it's clear I'm pretty bad at playing roguelikes, I do like them a lot because I can't breeze through even the most basic of levels. That and random stuff happening is always awesome.

Horror Games and Their Scares

I hate horror games. I'm easily scared, I don't enjoy getting scared, but I still play some of them anyways. Some horror games have very tense atmospheres, and for whatever reason, I like getting that feeling now and then. It still doesn't change the fact that I hate it when the tension breaks and the screaming begins, but I'll keep going and try to play if I can.

The Modern Day Shooter

We see a lot of shooting games these days, probably because they're popular, easy to make, and some are just yearly series that just keep going, and going, and going. We've got Battlefield, Call of Duty, Halo, and many more, and in a way, they all feel similar. You shoot stuff, blow stuff up, and try to win. Of course, while they are still quite different in their own ways, it doesn't feel like anything innovative is being created with each new game.

Blast About the Past

I was playing Beyond Good and Evil, and I was thinking to myself, it's been a good while since this game has come out. It hasn't changed the fact that it's a fun game, and I was thinking about all the great games I used to play. I think I only played action games, and jRPGs in the past.

League of Legends Talk

I play a lot of League of Legends. Not as much as some people, but I play a fair amount, a few times a week. I really enjoy the game, I've always had a ton of fun, playing with my friends, and everybody I know plays League of Legends as their main MOBA. There are other great MOBAs out there, but League of Legends is the one I'm addicted to.

My Gaming for the Day

Just beat Dead Space 3 today, and I can say it was a fun game. It might not have the horror of the previous games, and on normal difficulty it didn't have really any survival aspect either, but it was still very enjoyable. I had a blast playing through the whole game with a friend in co-op. It was really neat to see the little extra back story of the 2nd character, gives him a bit of depth beneath that merciless guy surface.
