Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Shadow of mordor man what a game truly a great game from monolith and wb games and during the past 3 weeks I think I’ve put in 15 hours for a completion of 50% sorry but the game has way to much to find and do and honestly I was getting bored and wanted to finish the story.

So the story follows talion and celebrimbor in there journey for revenge and trying to piece there memories back. After being murdered by the black hand of sauron celebrimbor attaches his soul self to talion and they journey through mordor for answers.

The game has you doing a bit of everything from finding forgotten treasure to hunting caragors there’s even an appearance by gollum in it. The story itself is simple go here start quest go there kill orcs or destroy this gain new power here, it’s a great rpg with an ability tree as well as a power up system for your weapons you get 3 a sword a bow and a dagger all really cool with there own secrets but all that is nothing compared to what makes this game truly amazing and that’s the nemesis system.

The nemesis system monoliths and wb games baby a system that gives the npc characters a brain and almost will of there own you see the orcs in the game evolve and get stronger either by killing each other or killing you the player and it’s this system that provides hours of orc killing goodness and keeps your busy as you progress for no matter how good you are you will die by there hand and they will get a rank up thanks to this system I know shadow of war probably made greater use of this system but with shadow of mordor being the start it’s a great system and one I hope they rent out and let others have a chance with it.

I’m sorry I know this review isn’t the greatest I’ve been away from this blog for a while and I gotta get my briches going again and doing better, now about the game if you have never played shadow of mordor please give it a chance it’s a great game solid story but the nemesis system is where the game shines there’s lots to do in the game for those hard-core completionist I can’t wait to see how that system grew in the sequel but thank you all have a great day and game on

One more dungeon 2

So I’ve been trying to play this dungeon crawler and it’s not a bad game for what it’s trying to be but it’s obvious it still needs work.

Your a prisoner in a slug kingdom and in order to win your freedom you must conquer the maze which doesn’t seem bad right pretty simple rules beat the maze find the boss kill it and your free right it’s what I thought until I started playing.

You start in a jail cell you get to explore the area a bit you see the slug king his guards and some other small areas but there’s no indicators telling you much of anything there’s a priest near a donation box that does… you guessed it nothing then just passed him is a statue room with 7 pedestals all empty but one when you approach it seems to be you the player your looking at a statue of yourself which seems pretty cool so onto the maze then.

The maze is randomly generated which I’m assuming is to try and produce more playtime and different runs which to me is a massive plus a different run each time is better then repeating the same stage over and over you get to explore new rooms long hallways different doors and portals all of which offer something the basic 3 monsters you find are a giant rat a flying bat and different skeletal solders not bad a bit of variety until you fight them and realize they take your 35 points of life down in 3 hits but you would think basic combat would be good I mean you start with a sword and staff but the biggest issue with the game you find the minute you start moving the camera sucks it’s trash compared to other games indy included it’s so clunky that to get any movement you gotta move the right thumb stick over completely there’s no light movements at all and that makes combat even worse there’s no lock on system just free movement which would be fine if you could increase movement speed but you can’t it makes everything so infuriating that you lose interest immediately, the game itself it’s premise the art style it’s all good but it feels they invested more time with looks then getting the movement down at its current stage you do yourself more harm trying to play then waiting for a fix I hope they can fix it I would love to go back and play more but sadly movement is something I won’t compromise on I do thank ratalaika games for sending me the key but please go back and spend sometime on making the movement smoother add some control sliders something

Thank you all for your time and game on

Uno

Today we are talking about the legendary friend killer uno for PC not the card game even though it’s just an online game to play with friends.

So uno is exactly what it is the epic card game brought to PC by Ubisoft and if your a fan of the card game and have se friends to play with them you will have an awesome time.

The game has all the rules that the official card game has so you know it’s legit.

The cards have different back grounds from different games that add some special mixes to the games flow and trust me there fun surprises.

I know this is a short blog post but it’s uno there’s not much to really add to it’s already awesome nature thank you all for stopping by and game on

Apex Legends Deja Vu event

So apex legends blessed us with another event for the launch of the octane heirloom and I gotta say I wasnt a big fan of the event even though I grinded out the normal quest part.

So for the deja vu event everything stayed exactly the same except the circle and the ship path, the guns and armor all stayed in the same spot so with enough rounds you could learn all the best spots but so could everyone else, which depending the area gave for some great fights and other times not so much, the issue I always had is this promoted camping by 1 or 2 teams at the end circle and really just made the game no fun I gotta say I’m glad the event is over I wasnt a fan of it.

Along with this event was a new armor introduced called the evo shield, a shield that upgrades as you land damage upon other players, you start with a 25 health white and could end with a lvl 5 125 health red which even though it had extra health it wasnt better then the gold armor. But it was a bad ass piece of armor to try out.

So octane got his heirloom set which was a sweet butterfly knife which in the middle built in had his needle in it but sadly the devs missed the chance to make the heirloom injection take over instead of the normal needle which I feel was a massive miss.

All in all the event was fun and I cant wait to see what the next event brings I’m hoping for a new map next season thank you all for stopping by have a great day and game on

Apex Legends Season 4

Hello everyone so if you haven’t noticed by now I’m a huge apex legends fan, my favorite legends to play are pathfinder caustic and the newly released revenant.

So yes season 4 has started and along with it some new changes and some bugs and nerfs the newest change being the new assassin revenant, a stone cold killer who clearly doesnt let anyone get in his way even his own team along with the new legend are his abilities the first being Silence, a dark energy grenade that silences anyone who touches it abilities, and the ultimate being death totem, a small diamond totem that gives your team a temporary death protection that comes with some big drawbacks seeing as you get hit straight to your health and the minute you take enough damage are sent back to the totem with a sliver of health leaving you very vulnerable and his passive is the ability to crouch walk very fast. I admit I expected revenant to be a game changer and sadly he isnt as his silence ability is more about luck then an actual useful tactic and death totem honestly if you dont have gold armor is kinda a bummer.

Now onto the other changes the map got some changes a new area called the harvester which isnt that great in the loot department and capital city was split into 2 fragments as the harvester destroys the planet which means next season we might either get a new map or maybe go back to kings canyon I hope for both.

The only weapon buff that I’m aware of is the prowler SMG got a tiny buff, the R-99 got a nerf in dps and the g7 scout was changed from a sniper to an assault rifle since the new sentinel sniper takes its spot which honestly sucks either way it’s only good if you have batteries and a good shot.

So far I’m having fun but the map is getting boring to me I’m working on my rank hoping to get pass silver 4 this season wish me luck I hope everyone is having a great day and thank you all for stopping by and game on.

Apex Legends Kings Canyon

So the devs decided to give us players a treat for the whole weekend and man do I gotta say it was such an awesome fucking weekend being back home on the original kings canyon map man did I miss home.

So it started friday and ended monday but we had season 1 kings canyon to play on good old cascade was back man did I miss the map I got 1 win on the map but I had fun kicking butts left and right dropping over and over in skulltown praying to be the last squad out was the best time of my life, as well as dropping bunker as caustic and trapping people in rooms was so much fun it brought back plenty of memories.

I’m thankful to the devs for giving us a fun weekend and I’m curious as hell to what season 5 will bring even though 4 just started I’m hoping for a new map since clearly worlds end is gonna be destroyed since the new spot on the map is called planet harvester but I guess that’s a lot of speculation let’s see what we get season 5

Thank you all for stopping by have a great day and game on

Titanfall 2 Campaign

So this is the first time I’ve ever played the campaign for a shooter game normally I stick to the multiplayer but man I am so glad I played this games story.

So what got me curious was apex legends takes place in the same universe so I wanted to learn about the connection and theres what I learned.

In the story mode the SRS faction is trying to save there home planet of harmony from the malicious IMC which created a massive fold weapon which can destroy a whole planet, think of the death star in starwars but on a planet. So you take control of a pilot named jack cooper who after completing the training is thrown into a starting mission where everything goes wrong and I do mean wrong since the drop unit your part of gets destroyed as the intel was wrong soon you see the pilot who trained you killed in front of you as you make your way over he has enough life in him to reset his titan so you can take control giving you your new friend BT-7274 man it gets real from here as bt learns from us and surprisingly has very close to human emotions for a robot. So you play out the missions learning the IMC’s intentions and trying to stop them but along the way things get complicated as you get the chance to use a device to time travel it’s insane everything they added to the games story. And if you have played apex legends you will definitely love seeing all the weaponry home where they belong.

Now onto the connection between both games in season 3 of apex legends respawn added a ranked mode and the highest rank is Apex Predator, which if you played the story mode in titanfall 2 you will realize there a mercenary organization that only recruits the best of the best and you get to fight against them as there the boss battles in the story and it’s so cool seeing that connection for both games.

I won’t spoil the ending for the campaign but it was a fun rollercoaster of emotions to be a part of and I really can’t wait to see if respawn ever makes a 3rd game to the series I hope they do thank you all for taking time to read my post take care and have a great day and game on.

Bungie after Activision

So it’s been a while now since bungie brought destiny 2 and turned it free to play on steam and consoles alike and I gotta say the game is doing better now then it ever did.

Now why is that I mean were Activision really choking the life out of bungies IP and trying to destroy it or were they out for money and didn’t care what got ruined short answer yes and yes.

Bungie and destiny have been on steam for about 2 months and it has had more amazing numbers thanks to its free to play approach has really given people plenty to play as you get everything before the massive forsaken expansion for free and I mean that’s a huge amount of content as well as an amazing story because the destiny 2 story truly is amazing, and I feel the more people experience this the better.

Now I’m grateful Activision didnt want anything to do with destiny after the companies parted ways and I’m glad bungie is doing there best to keep the game going and keep it interesting with the season passes and the fact that it seems bungie finally realizes that the infinite forest is literally a gold mine waiting to be explored as the recent season gave us back the great and mighty Saint-14.

But destiny is proof that if it’s not call of duty Activision doesnt want jack shit to do with it and in my opinion companies should lean toward blizzard since they have experience with mmo/rpgs since they have world of warcraft and diablo hell they even kicked ass with overwatch but activision is to stuck on the cod train, or honestly maybe companies should do like digital extremes and take the risk and publish there own game.

I look forward to what the future holds for destiny and bungie and I hope they listen more to there fans and work better with all the parts of there community.

Thank you all for stopping by and game on

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Wow, I can’t believe this amazing journey has come to an end and somehow out of all the ending’s available I got the best one and reunited my family what a feat and what a game truly a great masterpiece in my opinion.

So odyssey takes place in ancient Greece in the time of the great war between Sparta and Athens and you play as a mercenary trying to make end’s meat and have a better life. at the start of the game you get to choose between Kassandra or Alexios me being me I picked Kassandra and set off on my amazing journey and what a journey it was 55 hours into the game and I still have so much to do as well as hopefully getting the DLC for the game and continuing my journey throughout ancient Greece.

I’m a sucker for mythology and both odyssey and origin’s gave me a huge amount of love and I in return can not wait to see what Ubisoft has in store for the franchise, now i admit this was the first game where it seemed to drift away from the assassins creed life you see it felt amazing a full-fledged RPG not held back by the secrecy of the assassin’s and i really liked it only twice did I ever leave the animus for the real world and they were both short jaunts and I loved it I had a blast I got to fall in love more with the game and at times I completely forgot it was an assassins creed game, the enjoyment I got from odyssey was insane and I can’t wait to go back and clean up the massive list of quest I have.

now I played origin’s and now I’ve beaten odyssey and I feel odysseys map was much bigger then origin’s since it was more spread out and you had to sail around like in old times.odyssey

I also loved that Ubisoft expanded on everything that made origin’s good and used it to make odyssey great, you have the map, quest tab, inventory, but also a ship tab to work on upgrading every aspect of your ship as well as the crew on board, but you also have a mercenary tab which show’s you every mercenary around so you can kill them and take there rank and position on this list and I am 6 levels away from challenging the rank 1 mercenary I want that title, and finally you have the cult tab which is essential to the game as you use this to track and kill every person on there which this alone gives you a good 15 to 20 hours extra of gameplay since there’s so many of them as you can see below.Assassin's Creed® Odyssey_20180926121200

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has officially become my favorite game in the entire franchise and the 3rd one I have beaten from start to finish and it is on my recommendations list for those looking for a great RPG to sink plenty of time into I loved every minute of the time I spent playing this game and I cant wait to see what’s next from the franchise thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
