Wait, People Like Co-op??

Image
            Hello party people ! It’s yer boi! There’s been a lot on my plate recently aside from Splatoon, Helldivers with the boys, some Star Wars blunders and Ghost Recon rumors. My first thoughts with Helldivers, “this is just Deep Rock” and it is, and I’m like why’re we playing this when we already have Deep Rock but like most things, if it’s the only thing we can get @PoeTomic to do then that’s what we do. It has grown on me though, it can be ridiculous and it’s popular which makes me hope that investors and developers will see that and realize again (re-realize?) there’s a whole ass market for coop games. You could almost just pick any sci-fi franchise and do this exact formula. I mean Helldivers are basically Halo ODSTs and Warhammer 40k would fit right in as well. If they did a Halo one though I would really enjoy it if they went with the Elites instead, there’s an opportunity there. Same with 40k really, we always play t...

Mostly Splatoon, Some Other Stuff

Image
                 Hello! It’s been a while. Not much to report really, just wanted to talk about some things on Nintendo’s front. So let’s just dive right into it.             Let’s start with Pokemon. There was a trailer recently for a new Pokemon Legends game, Z-A, ZA, Z through A, however they decide to pronounce it. I think it’s pretty cool, from a title prospective; we’re actually getting a “Pokemon Z.” Not a whole lot is known but either in the trailer or the devs themselves said that the whole game is going to take place in the city of Lumiose , which I don’t quite know what that means. Actual cities are ginormous and have all sorts of shops and restaurants that would probably take you months to visit all of them but how does that apply to Pokemon? How are we going to go about catching, leveling and battling in this game? Maybe the game is going to be completely different. M...

WoW Times 5 SoD Times

Image
                 Hello! I lied! I’m sorry! I’ve got my mains pretty much where I want them to be aside from my priest. She’s 30 right now but I’ve got a 60 boost that I think I’ll use when War Within comes out because I really don’t want to do Dragon Isles again. If we could level in Zaralek Cavern or the Emerald Dream that’d be one thing since I haven’t done those THAT much but I’ve done the other zones about five times. I’m more than over it. So since I’ve been less busy I’ve been playing Season of Discovery here and there and it just makes me happy. Just running from place to place makes me grin, I don’t know why. It’s fun picking up items, like for runes, or coming across an asset that looks out of place and being like hold up, what was that? When doing some quest in Mulgore I came upon a bush by a cage hanging in a tree. Weird . I can click on the bush, I can attack the bush but nothing happens. Wave, kneel, dance, nothing. Google ...

WoW Times 4!

Image
                Hello! I’m sure you’re sick of hearing me talk about how my dumb monkey brain can’t decide on a character/class combo that make me happy but I’m here again! It helps organize my thoughts when I write them down. So you can skip this, I’m just continuing the trend I’ve started. Also I’ll talk a little bit about different things I’ve encountered recently including some things about WoW Classic!             So before I had said that I was going to use my Highmountain shaman as my new main shaman but I think I’ve decided to just keep my OG shaman as my main. I thought about making him into a Highmountain but that seems like more work than it’s worth. I like the Highmountain but I think I’ll just stick with my original Tauren. I’ve been playing with a Void Elf warlock and I’ve come to quite like warlocks. So I’ve got my Pandaren priest, Tauren shaman and a Void Elf warlock but...

Hopes for Wilds and Other Random Things

Image
                 Hello! I’m back! I’ve been playing World here and there and there are some things that I do not miss being gone in Rise/Sunbreak, so I’m gonna talk a little about them along with my hopes and dreams and other stuff.             I’ll just throw out some quick things that I’ve already harped on many many times so I won’t go back over them; better/fun hair options (anime hair), mandatory cutscenes before playing with friends, wind added as an element, helmet options for hub and hunting, more of a hub like Splatoon 3 (random player hunters about), weapon design closer to Rise and less like World, the wishlist was better in World than Rise. One thing that has always been annoying is other monsters constantly fighting your target. It’s cool to see a turf war once in a while but sometimes it’s like the entire fight the other two monsters are just there to make your life h...

WoW Times 3

Image
                 Hello hello! So I’m still wedged between wanting to play Monster Hunter and playing World of WarCraft because I’ve paid for it so now I must play it. This was going to be a split post about MH and WoW but the WoW part just kind of snowballed so I’m going to split it up. The MH one will probably be much shorter but eh, what can you do? So I’m gonna talk about what I hope to see in the next expansions and some things I’ve been seeing videos and forum posts about.             Before I talk about what I’m hoping to see I want to talk a little about my current adventures. @Proxy and I had made some Alliance characters, he made a red Draenei hunter and I made a Void Elf frost mage. We leveled up quite high, got to the same level as my Lightforged paladin so I switched characters. I do not like mages. I’ve tried them a few times in the past and they’re just not for me. ...

Monster Hunter Wilds Trailer Thoughts

Image
  Hello! So, a trailer dropped for the next Monster Hunter at the Game Awards so it’s time to do some speculating! It wasn’t a very long trailer but it did say “2025” so I got that right! Yay! But the Monster Hunter 20 th logo did not get a weapon filled in like I thought it might. So let’s get into it.             The game is called Monster Hunter Wilds so another “MHW.” I hope people in the game don’t call the land you’re in “the wilds” all the time like they would call the area in World “the new world,” it’s just dumb. “The wilds” I can see more than “the new world” but the damage has been done so please don’t. People are speculating that it’s an open world game and although I like my concept I had written about before that was back during, and with it in mind, MH Gen graphics. I suppose they could still do it in a similar way but after World/Iceborne and each zone being strikingly different I don’t know if they will or ...
