Gaming thoughts of the day

[Tuffty]

I was lucky to receive two games yesterday for my birthday. Metal Gear Rising and Crysis 3. Rising is great, played up to where the demo has you. But those opening 15 mins are pure gold. Crysis 3 is genuinely really fucking cool too. Keep in mind, this is the first Crysis game I've played and so the story is pretty much eh whatever to me, but the actual gameplay is rock solid. I put it on the second to highest difficulty cause I heard the single player is quite short and so I'm sneaking around a lot, trying to get through as stealthy as possible. The multiplayer is pretty sweet too, it's deep, lots of options, maps and game types and with a ton of options in combat. Always fun to run around a map with a shotgun like a madman. One of the best game modes is Hunter, which is essentially Predator - The Game, as one player is permanently invisible and uses a one hit kill bow while the rest of the players are soldiers who have to survive as long as possible. It creates some tense and exciting moments. I think part of the reason I'm enjoying it so much is down to the fact that this is the only FPS I've played in a little over a year now, the last being Modern Warfare 3. Last year I didn't play any of the popular FPS like Black Ops 2, Halo 4, Borderlands 2, Far Cry 3 etc so to actually play one again is good. If anyone has played any of the aforementioned games extensively or played through them all then I can see why they would be burned out to play another FPS now so it's understandable.

But yeh, a real surprise, I wasn't expecting to play this, but now that I have it, I like it a lot and can see myself playing it and the multiplayer for a long time. It all looks great too, even on 360 (though PC is absolutely the platform to play it on based off the footage I've seen). That is one good looking game. Also has one of the best ads for a game I've seen in a long time.

I had a different origins book called Stay Sonic. I haven't read it in 20 years but if I remember correctly, the slim, good-natured Dr Ovi Kintobor was training the brown Sonic to run fast on a treadmill in his specially developed sneakers. Kintobor was meanwhile harnessing the energy of the gold power rings to trap the world's evil in some kind of machine.

Kintobor was peckish but all he found in the refrigerator was a rotten egg. Possibly caused by his distraction, the machine suddenly malfunctioned and there was an explosion, propelling the rings across all of Mobius and turning Sonic blue, while Kintobor and the rotton egg were fused by the escaping evil into a portly villain whose name badge now read in reverse.

Surprised how many subs I have on Youtube. 110 people want to watch me. It's a weird feeling to me.I always been shy and used to be a hermit crab in never wanting to get out or show myself.Now I get out few days a week just to get out. I'd be out daily if I could. Now I am not afraid to put myself for millions to see. Esp since I used to be really afraid to show how overweight I was. No one cares. I love it. Same time feels like people are in my home watching me.I know there is people with far more subs and have other physical flaws. I remember when sick I was so self conscious any time I posted a pic of myself I felt I had to hide my face in filters or something. Took me a lot of time to muster up enough courage to do the finger push up video. When AxM had a podcast is when I was getting sick so I slurred a lot and was hard to talk. I was so scared. Now I do it just whenever I feel like it. So just an odd feeling


BTW finger pushup is here but the vid is gone

Rayman creator Michel Ancel is rumoured to be considering a move away from Ubisoft once Rayman Legends launches across multiple platforms.

According to said rumour, Ancel is looking to take some of his development team with him as he entertains the possibility of a departure from Ubisoft once Rayman Legends is done and dusted.

The rumour comes off the back of protests at Ubisoft Montpellier in response to Rayman Legends being delayed on Wii U despite being complete and ready to ship. The delay was imposed to enable Ubisoft to launch the game across all platforms

^^I really hope not. What would happen to Beyond Good and Evil 2?
Hope he sticks around long enough to finish that up...

[Who Really Cares?]

I wounder how he felt about being told he had to make another Rayman instead of BG&E2? That plus the delay of a finished game might have pushed him over?

[Segata Sanshiro Jr.]

Yea at this point BG&E2 might be what they're holding over him to stay.

[Let's Get Sweaty]

As much as I'd like to see BG&E 2, it's not a game to sacrifice your principles over. I'd support his decision to leave, if that's what he wants to do.

[Bluecast]

He said that BGE2 was not worked on because of Rayman Legends.

Also this kind of reminds me of when Mikami said if RE4 goes multiplat he would leave Capcom
