Forever At Freddy's

So take a gander at the pictures above. Really beautiful aren't they? Don't you wish that these were the actual gameplay visuals of the original Five Nights Of Freddy's? Well....as far as right now that is not going to happen. Adam Sklar is the genius behind these pictures and he used the Unreal Engine to make these just to bring FNAF to their full potential. But he says that they are not making a remake of the game using the Unreal Engine, yet he also made a short intro video(which you an see on my page)of the phone ringing, like right before you stat to play a night.....weird. Personally I think that this Adam Sklar might be in talks with Scott Cawthon to reproduce the first 3 games of FNAF to make another small fortune on games that already exist. Because let's face it, wouldn't you buy the game again if it looked this good? And it's not like the games cost 60 bucks at retail like most new games. They run at a misely 7 or 8 bucks on Steam and usually 5 bucks on Android. So why not throw the idea in the air and see what you can make of it? Even if Scott Cawthon does not know about this possibility, I'm sure it will not take long for him to find out, they are already all over the Internet, and after I'm done the word will be out even more so tick tock tick tock, can we make Forever At Freddy's a full blown remake series now? And why we are at it....can we get Markiplier to test run all these games too? Why not use the best on the best. I love entertainment as much as everyone else does and I don't know anybody more entertaining than Markiplier when it comes to playing the FNAF series. So that's all I got on this one. If I find out more about the possibility of Forever At Freddy's happening, I will be sure to keep you all up to date. Appreciate all the love and feedback, let me know what you think about these pictures and the possibility of a remake using the Unreal Engine.

Batman Man Arkham Knight Review

So I know that I am behind reviewing this game compared to everyone else who has already played and reviewed the DLC for this title. But I was still playing Elder Scrolls Online and its glitch riddled mess....but that's a story all on its own and we will leave that be for now lol. So Batman Arkham Knight Review! Lets address the things I liked first. The story in Arkham Knight is a really dark story for Batman as he is fighting to keep his own humanity against the Joker who is trying to take over his body via the ''Bad Blood'' from previous installment ''Arkham City''.  While trying to save the city from Scarecrow and friends, you have to deal with the Joker every step of the way. I'm not going to lie, this was very interesting, and at times very distracting, but not to the point where you could not play the game, it was a great spin on things and I don't know if the game would have been as good without the Joker....even though he was dead and just living in your mind pretty much. Having Scarecrow as the final boss actually was better then I thought it was going to be, he played his part very well, and even though the last fight with him is just a let down(seriously it's just a cut scene), he was definitely the best choice for main threat here in Arkham Knight. The better part of the story has you fighting back and forth with Scarecrows main general; The Arkham Knight', who I'm not going to lie, I thought it was going to be Deathstroke the whole time and out of nowhere it was the old Robin that was tortured by Joker for  months....thought he was dead. Arkham Knight, later to be known as the Red Hood, played his role to the T, he was in your face almost every step of the way and even saves your hide in the end via cut scene off course. The only part that I was let down about with the Arkham Knight was there was no actually hand to hand combat fight with him......I was really disappointed with this, guess they didn't want Batman beating on his former prodigy or something. Overall the story was really good, better then Arkham City and Asylum, but to me not as good as Origins...sorry that was the best story to me, get over it. The story has enough in it for you to want to play it again in the New Game +, just don't know if it will play well considering how hard the game is already! Seriously, this game is hard as hell for  Batman game, it at times will have you pulling your hair out and even wondering how the hell you are suppose to complete a part in the story.

Now lets get to the bad....there a lot of that too. Lets start with the elephant in the room. The Batmobile. I know a lot of people loved the Batmobile in this title and to them it was the best thing in the whole game....but in reality, it takes away in the story and the combat as well. They used and abused the Batmobile in every way possible. You will literally be climbing walls and descending them to complete some missions. So if you are ever stuck in the story, you probably have to use the Batmobile for something. Some of the fights with the Batmobile are beyond hard as well. On the street mines mission, you get attacked by an onslaught of unmanned drone tanks and they will kick your ass all over Gotham. And the final defend GCPD mission with the Batmobile is ridiculous, 60 armed tanks! Really? Who thought this was a good idea? Just saying...this was stupid. The weapons on the Batmobile are pretty cool as well, they are not mind blowing like some people are making them out to be, but its fun to play with the different weapons on the tanks. Combat can get really dumb with the Batmobile too, if you are ever having a hard time defeating street thugs, call in the Batmobile and one shot them....or run them over....this was overkill for me, but guess some genius at Rocksteady thought it was funny. The Boss battles with the Batmobile were inventive to some point, one of them made me think of Halo and trying to escape the exploding Halo ring, but they were pretty good, no big bads here. The combat in some points was way too difficult. They would have you go up against sometimes 20+ goons, and all of them will either have weapons, electric hands, shields, or other weapons. They would literally over match you and leave it to chance for you to win. My advice is get your armor to max as fast as you can because you will die in combat...over an over again, get use to it. The mini bosses, or other crime lords in the city are ok, it feels like these were rushed really bad, some of them are just one fight battles with the Batmobile or one hit knockouts. They really could have drawn them out more and made the game a little more interesting in this part of the game but guess they felt the game had enough or something. And no KIller Croc?!? What the hell happened here? You go through the sewers plenty so you think you would have seen him at least once, but nope, nowhere to be found, DLC maybe I guess. You do see him in one cut scene in Batman's mind, but that does not count, sorry Rocksteady, you dropped the ball with his appearance too, he looks like shit. The challenge modes are pretty much gone and replaced with challenges that are no where near as much fun. I guess if you want to play challenge mode you can always go back to Origins or City because nothing worth mention here either. The DLC I have not played yet so I can not judge or rate, I have had that its good but short so as soon as I lay through it I will make a note of it in another short blog.

Overall the game was really good, the Dark Story was great, and they really strung everything together well. I had no glitches in my whole playthrough, and only had to look online to find out where to go a couple times.

Overall 8 out of 10

I would have gave it a better rating if there wasn't so much need for the Batmobile to complete parts of the story, the hand to hand combat fights were more equally matched, the side bosses had more time put into them, and if they would have adopted the challenge modes from Origins and City. But still, I would recommend if you have not played this title to get it and play through yourself. It was a good game and you will have a lot of fun playing Batman's Dark Story here. Hopefully they make some major updates for DLC, if not, it will fall out of your most played games really fast.

Child Of Light

So, to all of you 'Child of Light' fans, I need you to know that I truly did enjoy the game...right up until the end. I loved the idea they had for the game. The concept, itself, wasn't new (Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time being one of the firsts); however, it was amazing how they took that idea and changed it. I also loved the complete and utter TWIST they put on the story of Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) itself. That was a BEAUTIFUL twist. I also loved that it was a side scrolling game, I haven't played a side scrolling game in...well..a very long time.

So...if I am so in love with this game, and praising it..then why am I so torn to write about it? Well, because I am extremely disappointed in it as well. First, let us talk about the ending (SPOILER ALERT: AVOID IF GAME IS NOT PLAYED THROUGH). So the ending to me, where Aurora's WICKED STEP-MOTHER ends up being the final boss that you have to beat, turned into a flop. I'm not sure if it is because I some how accidentally power leveled...but the final boss was EASIER to beat than the second major boss. There are three major bosses in the game, then there are the temple bosses that you have to beat, and then the mini bosses. The first major boss I faced was actually pretty difficult, I actually had a few of my characters die in that round. Second major boss was a BITCH to fight, there was a moment where I thought I was gonna get the “This is the end of your journey” message or “Game Over” or “You Lost” SOMETHING. Surprisingly, this did not occur. But it was pretty nail biting for me. The final boss should have been just has hard, if not harder, in my opinion. Instead, I was able to beat in in less time that it took me to beat the second boss.

SERIOUSLY!? How do you give me a final boss that is EASIER to beat than the SECOND BOSS!!!??? WTF. I can get over that though...the story line has been pretty epic up until this point so I can give them a little leeway on the whole 'final boss flop'. However, after I beat the final boss...the story just...the end game ruined the entire experience for me. NO joke either. The Step-mother's last words were, “I just wanted a place to call home, a place to call my own.” Like...really? All of this fighting and epic game play and battle...just so I can hear your sobby cry about how my mother banished your mother which started a witch fight...and then Aurora's dad died as well! That was just...ya know what, I'm not even getting into that. That is a whole other vent session for later, hey! Don't worry though, her mother is ALIVE! Yeah...for a moment I felt like I was watching another “How to train your Dragon 2” moment. So the game ends, you beat the queen, and save your people by bringing them to the new land, since your old land had been destroyed via a flood (also caused by the queen). Whooray!...so...what happens now?

I just can't help how I feel about this game. I was having so much fun playing it! It was even driving my husband crazy with my addiction to the game! But the ending of it left me so damn angry I was spitting curse words and disappointments for DAYS! It felt as if they had put so much effort into this game, to make it beautiful, and the story line excellent, and the twist was amazing...and either gave up at the end or ran into writers block and so just threw that in there because, lets face it, writers block or not, you have a deadline to meet. I am honestly not sure what else I can say about this game without being to harsh about it. But I can say that the excellent 10 out of 10 that I was going to get it dropped dramatically to a 5 out of  10 after I came to the end. For anybody who reads this, I hope you take it for what it is, a review of a personal play through. For those who have yet to actually play it, I DO recommend it, it is an adorable game and has beautiful water color like graphics that's very pleasing to the eyes, AND like I said, Up until the end, the story like was kick ass. However, if you choose to play it, keep in mind that the ending is weak. I give this warning in hopes to spare SOMEONE the pain I suffered from the weak ending. I love my games like I love my books, strong from start to finish. I cannot stand reading a book or playing a game that gets weaker and weaker throughout the game play/chapter read or the ending just feels like a writer's block moment. I need epic from start to finish, period; and unfortunately, Child of Light did not provide that for me.

Rise Of Tomb Raider.....Timed Exclusive

So I have to rant. First off, I am excited to see that the new Tomb Raider game ''Rise of Tomb Raider'' is coming to Xbox One first. Since I play ''MOST'' of my games on the Xbox, this will make it easier to pick it up, play it and review it before 2 million other people do the same thing on multiple consoles. Here is where my problem begins, at E3 it was announced as an Xbox (Timed) Exclusive, and all the Xbox fans were happy and jumping up and down for joy, but on that blue side of the room, there was nothing but silence. Since then, Playstation and PC fans have been all over Square Enix about when the game was coming to their platforms. And so have all the other Gaming Network sites as well, and I just want to say on record to these site; ''Give them a Dam Break Break Will Ya!'' I am a huge PS4 fan, love the way it looks, feels, plays, and shares. I am also a big PC fan, if I wasn't, I wouldn't have a website, a Nexus Tablet, or my laptops....just saying. But when a game is announced as an ''EXCLUSIVE'', or a ''TIME EXCLUSIVE'', that means that you it will be released on that given console, and eventually for everything else.....and that's all the information you get! You don't go crying to every social media that you can because Square Enix decided to make a deal with Microsoft and not Sony. It happens, deal with it, I am tired of reading all these so called 'Video Game News Articles'' about when the game in being released on PS4 and PC. It's beginning to become very sad, with all the crap on Twitter, and all the sad blogs on Blogger, Tumblr, and any other Blog Forum you are using to rant. Leave Square Enix to produce the game! If they have to spend most of their time defending their decision to make the game on Xbox first and not concentrating on producing the actual game, then the game will suck and be as glitch riddled as Elder Scrolls Online....just saying, it happens. Playstation and PC, you guys are awesome and make some of he best games out there, but leave this alone, you will get Tomb Raider eventually, no need to wet your pants about it. Because if you cry about this, then that gives Microsoft the right to cry about other games being released as a Time Exclusive such as Final Fantasy 7 Remake....yea it works both ways! So chill, sit back, relax, makes some awesome games of your own for now, and when Tomb Raider comes to your platform, you can play, review, and judge the game too! Thats all I got on this, I just had to rant about what was going on since this is one of the only things I see on Video Game News right now, so sorry if you had to hear my ranting, but could be worse.....you could be hearing people cry over Exclusives lol

Elder Scrolls Online...The Review!

Ok, I just want to start by throwing it out there that in this review, I WILL SPOIL THE ENDING, SO DO NOT READ IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS! Ok, so now that that's out of the way, let move on to the review and how I really feel about this game. First off, I know that some of you read my first couple of blogs on this title, but sorry to disappoint, but I finished the game with the Dagger Fall Covenant, not the Ebonheart Pact...sorry. Its not that I didn't like the Pact, I just have 5 characters, and I liked the Covenant better, Pact second, and well the other one just sucks...sorry Dominion fans lol. In the Covenant, most of the areas you will travel with either be nicely designed forest, or vast deserts, no where will you find floating jelly fish, still getting use to that. Pretty much in a nut shell you travel from City to Town, Town to City, helping to rebuilding the kingdom, while defending against invaders, vampires, and Molag Bal. Each city is linked really well, and the story is pretty good too. You get a lot of choices in your travels for the kingdom, and a lot of the times you get to pick whether someone lives or dies...that was a lot of fun. Eventually after many MAIN mission, and tons of endless side missions, the factions come to the realization that the alliances aren't the threat to the world, Molag Bal is. But you have a little meeting with the three kings and that turns out horribly. They all think your ideas are stupid and that each of the other leaders are full of crap and just want them to drop their man power so they can be overcome. That's where the fun kicks in, Molag Bal attacks the island that you are on and tried to kill all three leaders. You save them, they thank you, and agree to have YOU and the fighters guild and mages guild make an assault on Molag Bal in the Cold Harbor. When you get in there, you find out that everyone was separated and have to rescue pretty much everyone and gather your strength for a final assault on Molag Bal. This was the art of the game that I liked the most. Elder Scrolls takes a page out of Saints Row IV and gives you Elder Scrolls in Hell! Literally there is a really cool town in Hell and you get to shop, dress, chat with friends, trade crap, all that good stuff. There is even a fighters guild and mages guild too unlocked eventually down the line. So you eventually save everyone, break all Molag Bal's badnick toys that make his World Conquering possible and in the end you have a Horde Mode with him flinging crap at you(while you are behind an invisible force field), while you kill everything until it ends...tadda! Its over..literally. There ain't much details from the characters after that except that they want to go home and the High Elf King died...sadness lol. It was really weak...big let down. Now that was what I call the MAIN ALLIANCE STORY. The actual MAIN STORY with Varen the old Blind Emperor and all his Power Ranger friends is a lot shorter and less entertaining. Pretty much what you do is one at a time go into Cold Harbor via Blind Man portal, and rescue the Power Rangers one by one. Then you get to go through I think about 1 or 2 dungeons and Horde Mode until you get the Amulet Of Kings. You kills the King Of Worms during the last one, and then gather for one final mission into Cold Harbor to fight Molag Bal. You cannot do the FINAL MAIN MISSION unless you have beat the final mission of the alliance story...as far as I know. Once in Cold Harbor....again, you Horde Mode until you get to the torture chamber where you see the King Of Worms being whipped like a dog, and tortured by other Daedra. You know get to talk to him after killing everything and he tells you he hate you blah blah blah and you one day will join him in being tortured forever. You then get to either free him or let him suffer, I freed him and he told me I would regret it and he teleported away...lame lol, Varen said I would regret it, but he dies anyway...in my story, so screw him! At the end, you get to choose who dies as a sacrifice so you can get God Like powers to fight Molag Bal. You can choose between Snow Lily, Sci Sci, or the Varen the Blind Emperor. I chose the blind man because he is already blind anyway, so the hell with him. So he dies and you get this super groovy armor and super strength. Literally you have to now go up flights of steps and fight endless Daedra while pursuing Molag Bal, but don't worry, because no you are pretty much invisible, and can one shot everything! Yup, that right, you can't die! So eventually you get to Molag Bal and he grabs you with his Darth Vader powers and you!!!! Get to push a button to shrink him down to your size and strength lol. It was a let down. I was thinking the whole time, man this guy is huge, how am I supposed to beat someone who is like 50 stories tall.....with a bottom sequence of course! lol When he shrinks you get to fight him, he has a mace and does some magic, but you still pretty much can't die, so all you have to to is attack him until he dies. After you mortally wound him. you get teleported to the clouds whether Molag Bals ghost soul threatens you and you get your soul back. You eventually go back to the Harbridge where the rest of your allies say they are going to Disney Land!  And you...well you get told by Caldwell, the Soul Shriven guy from the beginning, that if your not done adventuring you can now play in the other factions of the war and see how their story is! Yay! But just to piss you off, you don't get to choose what alliance you are in...its random, so enjoy lol.

Overall, what I would rate this game. And take it that I have played PVP, I have beat the Main Story, the Alliance Story, and played through hundreds of quests with glitches all along the way and hours of game maintenance due to servers being down lol. I would have to rate this game a...

7 Out Of 10

With the game being, as glitchy as it is, and the MAIN STORY lacking in lore, length, and excitement I can't bring myself to rate this game any higher then this. And the ending was just awful, on both the Main Story and the Alliance Story. After endless hours of quests, missions, throwing controllers, and glitches, they could of at least gave a better ending to the game! I mean this is the company that brought us Oblivion and Skyrim! So....what happened??? I understand it's their first big MMO game, but come one, you can't blame it on that. I would definitely say that if you have not played the game, get it. If you have friends you can have endless fun with them just exploring the world. But remember in the end, that this game is a work in progress, and that it does need some serious work to live up to its other previous installments before.

R.I.P... ;_; ...Iwata-San, you will surely be missed!

Now that I am a little better off to run of what I have been holding in for the past few days, I just want to put out a couple things about this subject. First off, its hard to blog about something so devastating as this. Since the Wii went out, I have not really even been a Nintendo fan, the Wii U just never really caught my eye, and didn't have any kind of games that I wanted to play with the exception of its usual exclusives such as: Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Zelda...ect. The third party games dropped out, the controller is unattractive to your typical hardcore, or semi-hardcore gamer, and the price for what they offer on the Console Bundles is unreasonable to me....sorry but its true. So Nintendo hasn't really even played an important gaming factor in my life for at least the last 2 years. Yet all of a sudden, President Iwata-San passes at an early age (God rest his soul, and nothing but the deepest sympathies to his family) of 55, and I felt like a part of my gaming life just died...I didn't really even know this man, barely heard about him in all the time I have spent as a gamer/gamer informative, yet the urge to fight back the toughest sadness still hits me whenever I think about it. I feel like someone I knew personally and as close as a family member has just been ripped away from me and can barely stand it. I know that some people are not affected by this, but I know as well that thousands if not millions more people like me, feel the same way. How can you feel this way about a total stranger? About someone you've never met? About someone that is a non-factor in your daily life? Well I'm not the most spiritual person in the world but I can tell you how. I believe in great passions, and behind them passions is a burning soul that I believe lives in everyone one that shares that same passion. Whether your passion may be about Art, Music, Reading, or Video Games, there are people out there, that have the same passion, the same desire to love the same thing that you do. And if that passion is corrupted, broken, hurt, ripped, or changed in anyway, we all feel it. And something as passionate, and as devastating as Mr. Iwata-San passing, has made us all feel a little incomplete. The Video Game World lost one of its best, whether everyone realizes it or acknowledges it or not.  The industry will have less emotion, less guidance, and less passion for some time. I just want to say ''Thank You Iwata-San, for everything that you gave to the Video Game Universe. You gave it everything you had, your mind, your heart, and your soul, and we ''The Gamers'' are eternally grateful! I hope wherever you are, and whatever you are doing, you have a Nintendo Controller in your hand and you are smiling! You will be forever missed, but never forgotten. Whenever I played Nintendo for now on, I will be thinking about you. Rest in piece.

World Of Warcraft: Tomb Rage!

So, I will admit I have been playing world of warcraft on and off ever since “The Burning Crusade”. However, my ability to ‘maximize’ my toons skill, talents, abilities, weaponry, and armor…is…well, appalling. So much so, that I had actually had a total stranger come up to me and freak out on me. Mind you, if I am running an elemental shaman I am good to go! However, I decided to branch out and try all other classes, and was met with failure. I created a Draenei Death Knight for the Alliance (go a head Horde and have your hoots and hollers about that). However, I did not do ANY research into this and just jumped right in. So every time I gained a new talent, I would simply pick one that sounded like it could help me. Now, playing as long as I have played, you would have THOUGHT I would have KNOWN better…but I wasn't thinking. So here I am, sitting in Hellfire Peninsula on Overlook waiting for the damn flag to move up so that I could claim overlook for the alliance and complete this stupid pvp quest…and another Alliance death knight walked up to me and started freaking out on me! First words out of his mouth (well..out of the chat) were “DUDE! YOUR SET UP IS HORRIBLE! YOUR TALENTS SUCK! THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE!”. Now…most people would have taken offense to that. Okay, let us be honest, almost EVERYONE would have taken offense to that. I, however, busted out laughing about the whole thing because, unfortunately, it was true, and I knew it. What made me laugh even harder, and had my husband who was raiding in Destiny looking at me funny, was his guild mate was whispering me and apologizing saying that he means well, and just gets over excited and cannot control himself. So I told the guild mate, “I'm not offended, I think it's funny because I know it is true, any other tips and pointers you can give me?” so he sends his guild mate back after me! The amount of information that came pouring out of him for a death knight was AMAZING to say the least. Now remember, I said I played on and off since “The Burning Crusade”. What I really mean to say, is that I have three kids and they come first so if I'm tight on money, my games are the first to get cut off. So much had changed with World of Warcraft since I had last hardcore played. He gave me tips on the glyphs that would work best for me, which talents would maximize my survival rate with the particular specialty I had chosen to go with. Some of the tips he had given me, I would have NEVER picked on my own just because it didn't sound very useful. Boy! Was I EVER wrong! Remember, I did NO research into this prior, and I have never really played Dungeons ‘n’ Dragons so I am not very strong with character stats. So after he explained everything to me, I went and changed up my talents…and lo and behold! I was dying OH SO MUCH LESS! Who knew! So Before you go into a TOON RAGE because someone said your setup sucked, give'em a chance to explain WHY the setup is bad, and decide for yourself if you choose to listen or not…because, honestly, chances are, you're probably not as much of a noob as I am when it comes to creating your toons. Even, still, any and all advise that could improve or maximize your toon, could always help turn the tide for your choice of either Alliance or HORDE!
