I just recently finished Final Fantasy XV and I am not sure if I have ever played a game that has had given me so many contrasting feelings. For every aspect I love about this game this is something tied to it that makes me hate it. ...
If Dark Souls most famous point is for its difficulty then a close runner up for why people like the series is how it delivers its lore. The broken and unclear story of the dark souls series that you have to piece together from item d...
I have been playing video games for a gigantic chunk of my life. I love these things and all the time I have spent on them has never felt like a waste. Probably the only time they have come close to that is when the game was developed...
Competitive season 2 of Overwatch has started and the game has its hooks in me so deep I actually care about it this time. Waiting for end of season rewards still seems like the most productive way to get golden weapon skins but the G...
With Captain America 3: Civil War and the way Doctor Strange looks Phase 3 is off to a good start. We are almost 14 movies in and so far it has been a pretty good run which has to be something for the cinematic history books. That is ...
Close to the end of the year Rise of the Tomb Raider comes out on the PS4. This is almost one year after it has been released on the Xbox 1 or as it is better known the Xbone so it is not confused the first Xbox.
The reason for this o...
So far Blizzard’s handling of Overwatch seems to be pretty spot on. They have made a really engaging game that is fun to play for a scary amount of time in one sitting. They have made a cast of characters that are more popular t...
One of the bigger games to get announced during E3 this year was Injustice 2 by NetherRealm. From what had been shown this looks like a really big step forward from the first Injustice game. The graphics look amazing and even better t...
Little context before I start talking about a game that came out in 1998.
My PS4 is being shipped back to Sony because of a fault involving the eject system. Without warning the console would just eject any disc that was inside it. Co...
Respect.
There is a respect for how these games portray Nazi’s and all the horrible things they did and represent to this day. Yes this is the same game which has gigantic robot dogs in a future where the Nazi’s have taken...
Seriously. I do not know what you classify Overwatch as. Heroin? Meth? Walter White’s Blue stuff? Am I being extreme comparing Overwatch to a highly addictive drug?
No. I don’t think so.
Both seem to be designed from their...
So two nights ago it was finally done. Everything in the base Bloodborne game has been done. Every weapon has been found, every item, every boss has been killed and every ending has been seen. I have no idea how much time I have spent...
There is a reason why it has been so long since my last post. That reason is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. As stated in the title the game is basically crack. This has to be one of the most addictive time consuming games I have ever playe...
Because this was the best Uncharted image Google gave me taht was not box art.
You ever have one moment that made you lose any love you had for a character? It could be anything. They did something really out of character or the plot a...
So a little bit of context. I had been following the news about how Street Fighter V would be adding new modes to the game as time went by. So buying it day one I knew what I was getting into so if anyone is to blame for my lack of jo...
If you are reading this blog there is a pretty good chance you like reading in general. Considering that this is a video game website there is also a pretty good chance that you have read a comic once in your life. Speaking for myself...
What a good way to end a series that started so poorly!
If you go way back into all the blogs I have done you will see I have done a write up on each of the Life is Strange episodes. In the very first episode I said that the game woul...
You just have to be willing to work around it…a lot.
Okay so a bit of context first. When Resident Evil 6 came out I hated it. I could not even finish it. I thought it was a bloated game that was a husk of what made the series ...
I never had high hopes for Batman Vs Superman. I wanted to have high hopes for this movie but from the first time I heard about it I had worries. I have never been a fan of Zack Synder, I did not like the idea of trying to do what Marve...
No matter how you felt about the last entry into the series everyone can probably agree that Mass Effect was probably one of the best new series to come out last generation. It delivered a space opera that went from small events involving...
Because why wouldn't you want to be able to do this? When I stumbled across the community topic for the month, which I cannot seem to find anymore, it set up a train of thought which took me in a different direction. Character creat...
Kingdom Hearts is still probably one of the weirdest mash ups in popular culture. On paper it sounds like it should not work and hearing the mix of Disney and SquareEnix does not come across as the most appealing thing in the world. The...

I play the good games and the ones you play only because they are painful. ( Looking at you Beyond: Two Souls)
