“I used to be an adventurer just like you, then I took an arrow to the knee”
How many times have you read that meme and just wanted to kill yourself? Seriously It’s been done to death and now even hearing it during gameplay I wanted to shove an arrow in my ears just so I won’t have to listen to it, but that’s just me. The same person who barely slept more than 3 hours a day and became a troll hiding under my blanket trying to achieve the 100% Platinum trophy for this game. In other words if you value your life, your family & friends, your health then don’t ever buy this game, EVER! It will take over your life because of how good it is. So without further ado, let’s get this review on the road, Arrow in the knee style~
”ReverEND Note: This game was played over all 3 platforms by 3 separate players. Each one will pinpoint some of the finer details that each version offers or some downfalls that one platform may have over another.”
That is right. My little gaming site will be coveraging E3 live in Los Angeles June 15th thru the 17th. This is going to be a tall order to fill as I am only one man, going up against teams..nay!…Gangs..NO!… Armies! Of journalists working for other sites. But, I’ll do my best.. I’m going to try and setup a live feed for the major events. Alongside taking lots of pictures, interviews (hopefully) and so on. From now until E3, updates may he a little slow as I prepare for my journey. Still, keep coming back. I’ll try and post the most important news until then.
As many may know. District 9 releases today. If you are a ps3 owner. There is Zero reason not to get the blu-Ray version. You have even less than zero reason actually because with the blu-Ray version comes a copy of the E3 God of War 3 Demo. Being an insominac I picked up District 9 already and have run through GOW3 a couple times and will now preview the demo. And after having to sit through a 13-minute install process. Here we go. The demo intros onto a cliff cobble road where villagers are being run after be demon/undead soldiers. This is where you take control of Kratos. Controls are pretty identical to the other GOW games. Triangle is heavy attack. Square is light attack. Circle is grapple. X is jump. Left stick controls kratos while the right makes him dodge. Presentation so far. As far as a demo can present. It reminded me ALOT of the others. Much to the point that I, for a second, thought it was just an updated version of the PSP copy! But. Yon some play. That feeling changed. While it does feel extremely similar. Graphically it is far superior. The lighting is good, textures are cery detailed, the amount of gore is grand!, Which you would expect from a next-gen title. In the demo. You get 3 weapons and a head. Yeah. A head. Which lights a path and reveals secret areas. The weapons in the demo are. Of course. His chained blades. A bow. And a set of giant metal gaunlets. So far. The blades feel pretty much the same. Same combos. The gauntlets don’t feel feel as useful. Far too slow. And don’t seem to do enough damage for the speed trade off. Another new play element portrayed in the demo is the use of grappling. Sure “throws” where present in the others. But grappling is a different story. You can grab guys and use them as battering rams. You can grapple from a distant. Etc. Very useful. All in all. Fans will love it. From the impression I get from the demo. People who didn’t like the first 2 for whatever reason. Won’t like this one. It feels very similar to the other games and, from the demo, again. Doesn’t seem like it will [--Read Full Post--]
