Monsterverse and September Nintendo Directs

Image
  Hello. Something a little different today, I felt like talking about movies again, like I do from time to time and some videogame stuff like usual. Today I wanted to talk about Godzilla/the “Monsterverse.” Like, I would say overall I don’t reallllly like the movies. They have a few good fights in them but overall they’re not great? The movies just don’t make sense half the time, maybe I’m just stupid. The main thing is I just do not care about the people in these movies at all, I just don’t. I like the people a lot more in the AppleTV show. I think Skull Island was done the best so far. There was a healthy mix of human and monster stuff. I don’t really care about the Monarch family in King of the Monsters and Godzilla X Kong. I like the Iwi tribe and the girl but I thought it was kind of dumb in New Empire they were revealed to be telepathic. I don’t understand how in GxK the Apex people thought there was an energy source in the Hollow Earth and even how they were able to dev...

Game Pacing annnnd Other Ramblings

Image
              Hello. I stated this quite a while ago but kind of didn’t know where to go with it. Like a month ago now I was trying to play and finish games I just haven’t along with playing some classic PlayStation, PlayStation 2 games. I started playing Lollipop Chainsaw RePop on my breaks at work but was in the middle of a level, accidentally, quit out of it, had to restart it, trying to figure out how the hell to heal so I was Googling stuff. I came across some Reddit post of the person saying something like “Why is this game so addicting? I meant to play for only 15 minutes but have been playing for over an hour.” After now finishing the game, playing other older games and still trying to finish Assassin’s Creed Shadow I can say the answer to that question is the pacing. In Lollipop Chainsaw you go from fighting a room of zombies to a minigame of some sort, fight zombies, minigame. Even original God of War is like this. Ro...

Gaming Innovation, Nostalgia and Achievement Hunting

Image
              Hello. I swear I’ve posted some of this before but I cannot find it anywhere. Maybe I’ve posted bits and pieces but oh well, it’s not like anyone reads this thing anyways. IF for some reason I have a dedicated fan that has read all my stuff and this sounds familiar; I’m sorry.             I started playing games when I was still in diapers, so I’m told. It was the NES, my parents got it for my sister but she wasn’t at the house throughout the week so I played it. I remember a lot of Tiny Toons, Mario 3, Mega Man 3, Ninja Turtles 3, Bubble Bobble. We moved when I was seven so my parents gave the NES to my sister since it was for her afterall. I eventually got a Sega Genesis, from a cousin I think but I really liked the Sega. Sonic 2, VectorMan 2, Light Crusader, Mazin Saga Mutant Fighter. I rented Light Crusader a lot and it had a save feature on it, which wa...

Physical VS Digital

Image
                 This whole Sony going discless is still affecting me more than I thought it would. I’m probably more of a digital/PC gamer but it still is a shit move. The more time goes on the more I hate that I’ve sold all my old consoles. I took care of my shit so when I buy second hand stuff, like Wiimotes, they’re not great, buttons kind of stick, yatta yatta. I’ve bought games multiple times, either I had it on the 360, sold it but then got it on PC, probably on a sale, but I have bought games two, sometimes even three times. I’ve bought Monster Hunter World and Iceborne on PS5 and PC, I almost think I bought it on release, returned it and bought it digitally on PS5. I’ve wasted SO much money on re-buying things. If I had kept my old stuff I probably wouldn’t buy some other remakes/remasters as well. If I still had my original Crash Bandicoots I probably wouldn’t have gotten the N. Sane Trilogy because there’s nothing really added...

How to Kill Your Brand

Image
Well well well. After my last post I was planning on going into how I was the biggest Xbox fan back in the day and then have just lost faith in them and now Sony decided they wanted to be a disappointment too. I guess I’ll just try to go in chronological order and start with the 360 and get to now and Sony.             I got into Xbox back during the original Halo CE. During an event at school, my friends had secured a room and several TVs and brought their Xboxs to LAN Halo. It was my first time playing Halo or an Xbox but I was hooked. I can remember playing Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow, thinking of what my gamer tag should be. The 360 came out and I still think it's one of coolest consoles we’ve had. I liked how when you played co-op games on the same Xbox/TV your controller would show you which player number you were, I’m assuming that it corresponded to which screen you were on the split TV but I don’t know for certain, it wo...

Xbox Can't Stop Shitting Themselves, Restarting AC Shadows and GTA 6 Goes Digital

Image
              Helloooo. So Xbox is doing some dumb shit huh? Like, it’s really hard to like them right now. I’ve been interested in Fable but it’s kind of like I don’t want to support Xbox right now because of their dumb practices but at the same time I want to support the devs and maybe by buying the game it would help but it could sell amazingly and then they’d still lay the dev team off like they did to Tango Gameworks after the success of Hi-Fi Rush. I really like Ninja Theory, I liked the first Hellblade a lot, bought the second but admittedly haven’t played it and they go and announce another one and Xbox is going to shut them down? Makes no sense, I don’t even know why anyone still works as a dev for any of their companies anymore. I’d be out of there. Xbox also seems to think that Gears of War is what will get gamers to their console. Personally, I would keep Halo as an Xbox exclusive and have Gears be the multiplatform...

Not E3 2026

Image
                 Hello. The not E3 season has more or less come and gone. Personally there wasn’t a whole lot that got me excited, which is fine, I don’t know what it’d be like if there was a ton of games I wanted to be honest. I’m fine with a few here and there. I think that Xbox’s showcase had the most interesting things for me but I find it funny also that almost all of their games aren’t exclusive. There’s almost no reason to have an Xbox at this point, but that’s beside the point. I’m interested in the new Plague Tale game, the Doom DLC story and so far, still Fable. I’m not a huge fan of Dark Ages gameplay but from what I’ve played so far the story is interesting and the story still seems interesting in the DLC. I like the direction of Fable’s antagonist being the only hero the game needs and your character is just a joke. When she first showed up I was like “Why is she hot? Did the internet win?” I was thinking maybe it was a Crac...
