I've been eyeing this game ever since it got announced back in the year 2013 and I would say, basing on the overwhelmingly positive reviews it received, my expectations for this game is VERY high. I bought this game on September of last year(2015) and I have to admit, I can't wait to try it out on my newly built gaming rig this week. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has garnered multiple awards before and after it's release that it felt like it caught the entire gaming world's attention. And that's probably everything we need to care about at this point.
Stunning Graphics
From the looks of it, the graphics on this game is VERY detailed. I see nothing but high quality textures and particles. And apparently, it is also an open world game which means you can do all kinds of sh*t - I've seen people ride horseback, ride a boat and even ride people. Yea, you read that right. The weather and environment looks very realistic. And the armour designs, character models and all other graphical elements work perfectly together to create an absolutely stunning picture.
Story-telling
I have not played any of the The Witcher series so I cannot speak on behalf of everybody about how the story of TW3 will unfold. I am, however, glad to say that I have watched my fair share of Trailers regarding this particular game so I can say there's a bunch of hunting and nakedness involved. *Yea I don't know, stop asking me. This trailer is my favorite, and also the first one I saw so...
My Take
All in all, I do think this game will blow my head off out of the window once I start playing it. I'm expecting to play 20 plus hours of gaming with this specific title - goodbye social life. I have huge expectations from this game, I just hope it lives up to the hype. Happy Gaming! Peace out! *Mic Drop*
After a decade of waiting, stalking(yes stalking), and going in and out of google in search of news about this game I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Scheduled to officially release on
September 30, 2016
, this game is riding the hype train. A lot of people, including myself, are expecting big things from this game and I hope it'll live up to it. But with all honesty, I really don't care if it does live up to the hype or not. I just want to fulfill my childhood dreams and play it! *Cough* Boasting some kick-ass, free-roam combat system and a vast open world operating within the latest gen console, this game has pulled my long lost RPG fanatic soul back on track. I can feel the excitement burning in my belly!
10 years in the making
Eh- not really.
I heard about this game back in 2006. That was waaay back when I was in friggin grade school! I've watched the first trailer from E3 and I fell in love with the game ever since. Back then, the title was
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
and I remember reading that Versus was supposed to be a spin-off from the main gun Final Fantasy 13. FFXIII? Isn't that the one where the leading character is a cutie with a pink hair named Lightning?YES, that's the one! Yeah, okay. I have a crush on her too. Big deal.
Alongside FF Versus XIII was Final Fantasy XIII: Agito. Now I don't know what exactly happened to Agito but I'm sure of one thing, it was meant for mobile devices operating under iOS and Android, and of course PSP. Duh, everyone knows that. But seriously, my friend says it's a really good game - I trust him, so I ask you guys to trust me in trusting him. And I need to get my hands on that game fast. Now back to Versus, after it's appearance in 2006 all the news following that year were about delays, technical difficulties and everything an eager beaver like myself don't want to hear.
Ghostly PS3-Exclusive
Like the sub-header suggests, it was meant to be a PS3-exclusive. Square Enix said it was only PS3 so yea, I bought the console JUST TO PLAY THE GAME. Well I didn't buy a PS3, I begged for it. And the people of earth were actually very kind to me that they bought me one. So you can imagine how frustrated I am after hearing that they were porting Versus to PS4 back in March of 2013. I was so disappointed that I stopped playing PS3 and left it in the hands of my good siblings.So much for waiting 7 years huh.
Kick-ass Gameplay
Have you guys seen the 2016 trailer of this game? If you haven't, here's a link Watch Now. Fortunately for me I don't have a PS4 yet - I'm waiting for Square Enix to drop the news that Final Fantasy XV will be released for PS5 and all resources will be ported to the next gen console. *grins* Seriously.
Jokes aside, the gameplay for Final Fantasy XV is pretty good. For me at least. I'm a person who grew up to pixelated games, with cartoonish cutscenes and turn-based combat system. Man, those were the days. And now that I look at this game, I can only say one thing: this game is going to be big. I mean, it has everything a die hard Final Fantasy fan is looking for. Well, everything except for job change.. And adding more party members. And gender change(Not that I personally WANT a gender change). At least give the free people of Bravos some choice. I'm not quite sure yet if you can add more people to your party, but from what I heard and from what I've seen thus far, I don't think you can do either of the two.
If you're looking for explosions, and lightning-quick movements, and Titans, and rhinos then this is your game! I'm not sure how the magic system works, I mean if you consume MP to cast a spell, or if you're using magic per unit, or if you can keeping casting to your hearts content. Oh but I'm sure of one thing, magic changes the environment! When you cast blizzard, the game invokes an actual blizzard to the scene. That's the coolest s**t I've seen! *cough* Excuse me. Weapons? What about weapons? Noctis wields multiple weapons in the game. You can assign a weapon to any button you so choose, this allows Noctis(Yes, it allows Noctis not you) to swap weapons during a combo. Meaning you can execute countless combinations of attack patterns. And don't forget the warping abilities! You can target a specific location in-game, Noctis throws a dagger at it and poof! You warp towards it. Pretty cool huh?
Photo-realistic
The graphics in this game is damn amazing. The city looks VERY realistic, the Guardian Forces you can summon is super awesome and the characters - the characters look like a bunch of boyband dudes who are out seeking for world domination. For real though. Anyway, back to the main topic. Everything in-game looks very realistic and I'm VERY impressed. I think I'm starting to love the next Gen gaming.
My Take
Taking into account all the pretty graphics, and explosions, and Titans, and the kick-ass combat system, the boyband, and the fact that it's open world - my take on this game is it's a MUST HAVE game. I'm getting it. I don't have a PS4, that means I'm buying a PS4, which means this game is making me buy a PS4. The logic isn't there but hey, it's me. I mean why not? This could be the NEXT BIG THING from Square Enix after a very long while.

Impressive, shocking, and fun is how I would describe this game on the get-go. I had the chance to try this out the night after I posted my "Expectations" in my previous blog, and man, it actually met my expectations. The script is filled with humour, it encourages you to build from scratch, and the zombie AI keeps you on your toes.
Hordes and Horror
Fighting zombies can be fun. Smashing through hordes of zombies is a lot more enjoyable, especially if you have military-grade guns and some backup buddies to fight with. You also have the choice to run them over with a 4x4 truck if you're feeling the urge to do so. Headshot kills takes a little bit of practice, but melee combat is just a matter of mashing your attack button on your mouse or your dual shock. Also, beware of other human beings. Some of them aren't that welcoming. There are also a number of upper classes of zombies. You better watch your back for these bad boys.
Scavenger Hunt
I love looting and searching for items that I want. And I certainly welcome the challenge to scavenge for materials that I need. This game caters to both of these concepts, and for the most part, I do think the game revolves around securing items and materials to fortify your security. Guns and other weapons can be found around town. And the game also encourages you to upgrade your base, your upgrade choices include adding a mini farm land, workbench and some sleeping areas. These building upgrades can sometimes avert issues within your group. You can also tell them to chill the f**k out.
My Take
All in all, I think this game is really good. Aside from the graphic quality, the game as a whole has a lot of potential. You can play countless hours just to keep your base afloat, or you can spend your time smashing zombie heads or collecting perforated zombie bodies. Whatever you decide to do, watch out for uniformed military dudes. They aren't as friendly as you think.
There's nothing more enjoyable that an open world, post apocalyptic zombie game. Let's leave it at that. I'm getting good vibes from this game - my brother has been showering it with lots and lots of praise enough to make a king grow horns. Although it garnered "Mixed Reviews" from the Steam Community, IGN gave it a humble score of 8.9, that's rated as "Great" in simple English. And the YouTube videos about this game - eh.. I haven't really watched any YouTube videos about it still. But I'm expecting big things from this game nonetheless.
Rags and Riches
Although the game looks "a little bit old and clunky", as all reviews would say, I think the script and story line will make up for it. I heard you fight hordes of zombies, use towers to scout, and use vehicles to make your supply runs. You can get friendly NPCs to join your squad. And there's some defend-your-base action too. That's sounds like the type of game for me eh.
Loot and Loiter
The game is open-world (and I really hope we can swim too), seems like you can loot any house, and loot anything from the look of things. I hope we can loot dead friends too? The game has a wide variety of gun selections but you have to fight through hordes and crowds to get them. Not a bad thing! I want that kind of action.
My Take
With everything put side by side, I think this game will keep me up late at night for weeks to come. I feel like fighting my way through wave after wave of zombie hordes already. I'm gonna buy this game and have a go at it. Peace!
