My thoughts on CyberPunk 2077 game play.

8/30/2018

0 Comments

 
Gamescom was this past week over with in Germany. I was had some idea that there was no new deals on any games that I on my radar or just never really cared about Gamescom in the first place. I was hoping to hear something about a game that I had idea that was at the event.

As many people already kinda know what we will get from the trailer at E3, but never got any kind of game play that we thought that was got to be there that was open to the pubic. We finally got something early this week & it looks amazing well.

Now the look  & feel can change over the next few times that we see any kind of trailer or screen shots in the future. I do say that we can put this game back on your radar. Because I did forget that is game was coming out, but don't get too much on the development time line.

I was very impressed to to see the level of detail that in the first trailer that drop over 5 year ago & at a point of call it a fake, but now after all the recant trailer & game play. I'm changing my mind about the game completely.

There are a few things that I seem to be wore about that seem to be a bit normal at this point in to the development of the game as of now, Like how much is going to change in the level & character designs. In the past many games that did change or removed some levels & characters for some kind of reasons that are not that know to us today.

As a person that don't seem to mind a small change that makes scene to the final product. I do see that a change to a character is a mix idea that will make us think this was a good/bad idea to go with. I know that most of the changes do come from the top of the company that is founding the game & there is very little we can do about that.

Let's talk about on how well the game looks. From the E3 trailer that we got I was hoping to see a bit of both day & night time game play, but we didn't get that at all. I was impressed with the  customize options, combat & play styles that we may get in the game. I'm very open to see if we do get more things to chose from in the future.

Is some of the dialog that we got to hear in the game going to be change or stay the same? This is one of the many things that we don't know yet till we all get that final build of the game. I just can't wait to get my hands on this game play it.

Now I will like to see on what more things will be add to the current build of the game going on. I do hear some fans of the board game seem point out that some of the character sates where missing from the demo & was hoping to see them in the final build.

Over all I think that we may a franchise in the works here. With that said I wish that this game will be out before to long. I just know that this looks like a grand idea of us gamers.

Today is a special day for those that grew up the 1990's. Just like me. I just like to take a bit of my time today to wish very special Happy 25th Anniversary to a little series called Power Rangers. I'm very happy to say that I did grow up on this series a kid in the 1990's & still love it.

I did out grew it as I got older, but I still loved it for how good of a show that it was. I did see some of the different versions of the series & some of them where just a crazy as can be. I never seem to get in to them like I did with the original series.

Yes I did see both the original & reboot movies. I just can't believe on how cheesy the first two movies now look. As for the reboot that we got it looked like a Power Rangers with a bought that was needed.

With that said. Just like to say think you to Saban for bring the Power Rangers to life & thank you for all the great series that I enjoyed thought the years. I wish you the best of luck on all your future projects that he is a part of.

Lexicon 4 review.

8/27/2018

This past weekend was a small little convention that I tried out last year & was very happy to go back to it again. Now I was very excited to see on how much bigger this event was going to be. Do to the fact that it was in a small part of the library & there was a lot of great vendors at the event. So this was going to be a surprise to see how they will pull it off.

I was able to get my dad to come with me & let me see all the things that I normally see at all the conventions for once. He was shocked to see some of the people there dressed up as their favorite character & most of them where very well done. I was tell him that you have nothing yet. I've seen a few time that a few cosplayers. Have been know to put in a lot of time & money in to their costumes.

Now this was the biggest changes that I have to get out. As my dad I got to the library. We seen a few "Road Closed" signs that where up blocking streets that we passed on the way. We found a parking spot. got out to go into the library & later found out that they had to expand the event into two other buildings. Just to fit everything that they needed to get into the event.

At that point I just know that this was going to be a event. They had their panels, some video game tournaments, contest & special events in the area of the library that it was last year. They had drawing events, diy clay magnets & LexiCon shirts at a local art center. Finally the vendors, anime viewings, table top gaming, photo ops & artiest ally was in a community center.

I was very happy to see that this small event from last year. Grow so much this year. I was just so amazed that this event was put together very well. I know that it was going to be a much bigger this year, but don't know on how much bigger it will get. The level commitment to this year. Must of been a big one to pull it off without a problem.

Over all I think that Lexicon will have a bright future in the next few years. If they can keep up the good vendors & events that will be going on there for the next year's showing. I really just can't stop thinking about what will going on for years after that,

Is Anime Gate just around the corner or not?

8/23/2018

For as long that I can remember. I always seem to love a great anime that just makes me love the level creative worlds & characters that I can love for any reason. Knowing there is a limitless amount of amazing worlds to go to & be thankful for those that work hard day in & day out. Just to show off their great work to the world.

Now for that last few days I been hearing that CrunchyRoll just announced that they going to start having some original anime on their platform is was like "Cool I hope that we see about the show something very soon." Boy some people are not liking it at all.

As a anime fan that is open to any kind of anime that is on the market. I feel that this anime that was just announced by CrunchyRoll will not be well received by some hardcore anime fans like me, but I will one day give this anime a try when I can.

The anime that I'm talking about is called "High Guardian Spice" & I that this is a "Magical Girl" kind of anime. I personally got nothing against that kind of anime, but when all the writers are women. It dose make me wonder on how well the stories in the show will be & if they will be very entertaining as well.

I'm not bashing it from what I got from the trailer, but I just dot think that it can be a as great of a show with only women writers may hold up to some of the quality of the anime. I do think that this is a test of the waters for any anime fan that maybe good. If this anime gets good feedback that dose change my mind on it. Then I think that this will not start up Anime Gate, but start conversation on weather or not men or women only writer groups these are good or bad?

Now if this goes start up Anime Gate. Then we need to look at what not to do & see if we can learn a lesson from this. I think that we all can see if CrunchyRoll is going to do more anime like this or not, but it will be nice to see if this a good idea or not.

With so many people trying push something in a medium nowadays. It's getting very hard to tell a good forum of entertainment that is not going to full of hate & toxic opinions that are not true at all. I do like the art style that High Guardian Spice is going, but without knowing the story or any of the characters are. I do think this may start the thing that people will call "Anime Gate."

Are old comics better then modern comics?

8/21/2018

For the past few years I been getting into comics & I been very lucky to find out at most of them have been entertaining to read. Some of them are from the 70's, 80s &90's witch was the highlight of the era that comics was a great way to escape the real world at times.

Lately some of the comic publishers are not doing very well. Marvel has been pushing heavy politics ideas & having a lot of canceled runs that is making them look like fools. Then try to relaunch them as if nothing was happen. IDW then been pushing not to heavy on the politics, but still has it's ugly head up in some of the stories that they have.

The thing that hurts me the most is that. Most of the greatest stories now days are about sexual identity, feminism, personal politics, race or religion. This is not how story is done. It's now just a place for a writer or artist to use for them & there views on the world that they see fit.

If this is the reason that comic shops that are going out of business around the country? I'm sick to hear that a comic shop owner has to lock the doors to a place that had countless amount of people go thru there doors over the many years that they where open to.

Seeing that most comics now days are just making the smallest minority happy is just sick. I beat that most of them never seen the great adventures that some of these heroes have been on. See this is not right at all.

The only thing that I like to see about a character change is their costume. Yeah some of the older styles of some heroes have changed for the better than others, but never their morals that made them the hero that they are. That is what I hope will never ever happen to any of them.

I will say this. If stop buying the comics that are killing the industry & the publishers may see that the product that their giving to us is what we like to read. Then they will have no choice to stop their stupid politics & give us great stories again soon after that.

Seeing all of the comic book publishers in the industry is very nice for all that read them. I don't like to fine a old comic book that is way better than what we got in the modern era. We all know that we can push a company to the top if they just hear us all them that their stories stink & you can do better then that,.

The case against filip miucin.

8/18/2018

I was not going to talk about this topic, but I think that I need to talk for one reason. Now I think that it needs to be say, because I do see some of the actuation against him & it dose make me want to start questioning some of his work that has done.

Now after first hearing that a review on IGN was in question. I thought that it was just error or something, Then as I got more reports of a review of a game was being pulled do to a claim of plagiarism. Shortly after that then I got into the story. It came to a point that the Dead Cells review that Filip did on IGN got pull from their site & then we all heard that he was fired from IGN. Do to the fact that the claims where against him where true.

After this Filip did upload a apology to IGN & Motion Twin, but not to Boomstick gaming. Then he deleted the video to hit what he know that he got away with in his past & have been trying to make shore that the video is not reloaded. I just had to see the video in full context some how. Yes I do think that is I was his shoes. I would of said that I was sorry to the person I stolen their work from & move on, but he don't do that. He just shoot himself in the foot & blaming his failure on us.

There is just so much that I like to say right now, but I think that we need to attacking those that are down on their luck. What I think that we should just let them reflect on there mistakes & hope that they will not do it again.

I wish that I can just say "That I wish Filip the best of luck on his future." To be far I just can't do it all. Why you ask, because there too many claims that he faces that he has plagiarize a lot in his other reviews, opinion pieces & who know what else he has done.

Shortly before I started this post. I watch a video that some way that this is part of the Gamer Gate movement. How is Filip connect to Gamer Gate? Got me, but I think that this can be a good way to learn that ethics are still needed in this world that we live in.

After taking the time to tape this. I do feel a bit sorry that Filip is a lot of hate fr his actions & all, but I think that we all need to name our sources what we using there's hard work & show that we truly care about time that they put in to get it out in the world.

There is just so many people that will take the short way around the track to get to that finish line without a care in the world. I try to tell all those that come to my site from my heart & tell you what I think about things that I really care about in this out of control landscape of popculture.

Will I still trust IGN on their reviews, opinion pieces & still go to their site? As of today I will still love to go to their site, but I think that I may not trust them on their opinions & reviews for a awhile. I can see why that people will not trust them right. I hope that we can forgive IGN & move away form this dark moment to learn that we can't blame the site for one person's actions.

Now I do wish the best to Boomstick Gaming the very best in their adventures & hopefully I like talk to both Boomstick & Filip on this matter one day.

Backlash on Doom Eternal's Anti SJWs jokes

8/15/2018

0 Comments

 
I was very happy to hear that there was going to be a sequel to DOOM 2016 at this years E3. All we got was a trailer that showed off the enemies & all the things to expect form the game that is coming out. We don't get a release date on the game. I was just hoping that was at the mid way point of the development cycle & that more time was needed to finish up the game.

At QuakeCon this past weekend. Bethesda showed off some game play footage & it looked great, but don't like what that heard during the video at all. There was a few lines that some of them lost their minds to what was said during the footage that seem to very tame to me. So lets look at what is making the SJWs lose their minds.

Lets start with the first one. “My brothers and sisters, let’s help top make our friends transition into our world a comfortable one." As far as I can see that is just a nice message to people to tell those to be nice to those that are coming to a new country & show them that their welcome to a new place for a new start.

This one was a just a crazy one to be a bit of slapstick humor. “[…] Remember: ‘Demon’ can be an offensive term, refer to them as ‘mortally challenged’. To me this is a jab at the "pronouns" that a few of the SJWs like to cry about in some of the videos that I see. Now I really think that if they don't like that one. Do to the fact that it calls them out for there own stupid ideas being used against them at all.

Now this one was a odd to me, but I kind can see why they will go nuts about in the first place. “[…] Earth is the melting pot of the universe.” I think that Bethesda was trying to make fun of the fact that America is the melting pot of the world & then thought that it would be nice to see if that poke fun it that ides in there game. Is far as I can see it worked very well to anger the SJWs outrage.

I just love it when a developer jokes fun at the expense of the ones that hate video games of any kind. To me I just wish that these SJWs just grow up & live in their little bubble that one day going to pop. Due to the fact that they can't take a joke that is not hurting a single person in the real world.

There is a small chance that these jokes may get taken out, but I think that if the jokes do get taken out. Then I will only get the game only. If some how the jokes are going to stay in the game. Then I will get the biggest package of the game that I can get my hands on. Then I will take a picture of me kissing the box & upload it to site. Just to anger the SJWs even more.

With that said I hope that Bethesda the best to finish making the game & takes there time to make the best game that possibly can make it. I think that they can wait & see on how well the game can be on the day that it hit store shelves.

Old games that could be rebooted.

8/13/2018

With a lot of classic games that are out there & some of them seem to have a very loyal following in there own right. I do see that most of some games that people think that need to be have more excess to. Like have them on a digital store so they play there favorite game over & over, but it's not available do to what ever reason that is given. I do try to understand the reason that is given to the public & all, but I do see that some reasons are kinda weak to me.

Now here are some video games series that I think that need to be rebooted. My first game is a bit of personal favorite & currently replay now is BloodRayne. This gem of a forgotten classic game that had a small, but had its fans that loved the franchise & was mixed about the three movies that was released. Now there has been talk about a reboot & nothing has happen since 2015. Now I will still have some hope that this franchise can be rebooted & have a fresh start in the modern era of video games.

This next game is a bit odd pick, but I think that it maybe a long shot. Parasite Eve was a based off a book of the same name. The game takes place after the events from the book & really was one of the best games of its time. it did very well that got a sequel, but the sequel did get a lot critical reviews on the fact that it did feel like the same as the first one. I can see the diffidence in some of the play thoughts that are out there. I think that it should go back to the survival horror roots & Just can't see that any other way.

Another game franchise that I have the highest hope that will be rebooted is Onimusha. This series has about four games in the main series. I played the first games & a bit of the second installment. To me that was about it for me. It was a OK game to me, but see way that it was a very popular game series for its time. This is one of many games that I been trying to get into, but never seem to fully got into the franchise. After that I hearing that CapCom has been renewing the trademark to the series. I got a bit of a surprises that this forgotten game maybe getting a reboot in the future.

Now this one is a really good franchise that needs to be rebooted. Dino Crisis. Fans for years have been asking for years that this series needs to be rebooted. The first game was a hit with everyone. The second one was a bit of a let down, but was still good by some people. By the time that the third installment hit the shelves. It got panned very hard by everyone that had played it. Now I'm not going to say much about it. I think that it needs to be rebooted for the right reasons.

This last game that I like to talk about is in a bit of a odd state. Shadow Hearts series has always been a mixed bag of opinions for a video game series. I do understand that try anything that is new can be very risky, but it was a nice to see something new. From what I remember of the franchise it had a nice size of a fan base that still like to have a new installment of the series. The combat was looked like that could change the way that most RPGs where at the time. The biggest thing that some people don't like was that most of the characters where to not that different  in their back stories & just too Gothic throw out the series. I get that some people don't like a setting at times, but what can you do.

Here are just a few games that I think that can use a bit a reboot here. So what do you think?

Old movies that still hold up today

8/9/2018

0 Comments

 
If there one thing that love to do from time to time. Is watch a old movie & see if that it still holds up in today's world. Now I know that I some movies don't seem to hold up as well do to the way that it was shoot, but others seem to hold up very for there age & all.

Now I can name a lot of great movies that I still look very good, but do seem a bit dated in some areas of the movie. To me one of the best movies that came out of the 1980's was a film called "Clash of the Titans." It was a film that center around Greek Mythology & truly a cult classic film that was a under preform in the theaters. Some of the stop motion bits don't look that great today, but as child that was amazing to see. Because you it looked like that the monsters that was in the film was right there fighting the men on the screen. There is a spot that was a bit awkward, but due to the times that came out in. I guess I can give it a pass & highly recommend it to anyone that loves Greek Mythology films.

Another film that I think that everyone may like is the original Godzilla. Yes I'm talking about the very first one that was made in 1954. OK this is a bit of a odd pick, but just hear me out on this. Look at it this way. A giant monster that rampage thru an country that is attacking him with all their might & with no luck at all. I don't see all the one that are from Japan, but I hope that one day that I do see them all. Then I can really do see all the hard work that was put into it

For my next film that I think that I like to talk about is a mix bag to some people, but I think is a good film to talk about. I'm talking about the 1987 film RoboCop. At first glace it look that good, but at the time it was release it a hit. It got two OK squeals & a poor reboot out of it. I am still a fan of this great film that is today. I know that it was it moments that seem to me now that its just a robot Jesus story, but I still love it.

The next film has its following for many reason. The Boondock Saints is one of those late 1990's film that film that had a good story to tell & was not a hit in the theaters. After some time it started to get following years later & did get a sequel many years later. Once I seen this film in the first few moments I was trying to get why is this was a big deal with this film. Then out of nowhere I seen why this film has its cult following. The action scenes where some of the best & story was just as good to match the action.

Now for my last pick. This film is just for fun & all, but I think that it can just for eye candy. My last film that I like to talk about is Ultraviolet. Now this film dose have a very heavy usage of CGI throw the film, but the story is not that bad. Just the standard group of rebels fighting the government. The way that the was told wasn't too bad of a film to watch. I'm go to say that it was a eye candy from beginning to the end, but I think that it is a good to try out. Yes I do think that it was a good film for it's time. With the heavy CGI in the film, I think that it do a nice usage of the effects & all, but can't say that it was a amazing film.

So I hope that you can try out some of these films that I still think are good films that we all may or may not of seen. If you haven't seen them. You may like to try them out & see if you enjoy them as much as I do.

SJW attack on the quartering at GenCon.

8/7/2018

0 Comments

 
This past weekend was GenCon. A 4 day event that broad & card games are at. I got nothing against those types of game. I just don't play them as much. Now I like to go there & check it out just to see if I like it or not.

Now there was a YouTuber that was going to cover GenCon name Jeremy that runs a channel called "The Quartering" & another channel as well. Most of his stuff that he talks about on his other channel is Magic the gathering & stuff that is related to it, but on The Quartering he talks about news stories that he likes to talk about.

On August 2 he was at a bar & talking to fans that follow him. He was having a great time till a man came up to him & ask is his name Jeremy. He said yes & was going to shake the man's hand. As he was doing so. The man just grab his shirt & attacked Jeremy for no real reason. There was about 4 other people that was with Jeremy & was able to him into the bar. The attacker was mad that Jeremy had got lose & was safe from him.

As most of you can ask yourself "Why did this guy just attack Jeremy?" I can tell you that the person in question. Is a big supporter of Anita Sarkeesian & he didn't like the fact that Jeremy was a critic of her opinions. Plus Jeremy was not very happy to see that she was coming to GenCon as a guest of honor.

Now is there some kind of connection between the fact a random person attacks Jeremy & that Anita was going to be at GenCon. This sounds like it, but I think that it was just fluke that the attack did happen & now their is a bigger problem that we will have to mess with in the future.

I do think that this was politically motivated. Do the fact Jeremy is a very neutral person & all, but he does dislike both sides of the political spectrum. He don't like ideas that force us to think like these fools & has not call for blood on the streets.

Jeremy has been very vocal about the things that he talk about in his video & active in the for call for better judges in the Magic the Gathering community for some time now. As a person that don't play some kind of card games. I think that is a good way to call out bad practice that needs to stop.

There is just one more thing that I like to point out. Jeremy has been called left wing, right wing, Nazi & many other names. I think that the only thing that I think we should call him is a Friend. That is the only thing that I will call ever call Jeremy,

Mark Waid's return to Social Media.

8/2/2018

0 Comments

 
You know if there on thing that I hate to hear is that a person that quits social media after a hate mob gets to them & then goes quite for some time after there last post, but if someone quits social media after a personal attacking someone that is doing nothing wrong & think that there doing something that is righteous. Is another story.

Comic book writer Mark Waid just came on to social media this week & all seems to be nice, but some of his critics are taking jabs at him on seeing how long that he will be up to his old tricks & will get off of social media for good.

Now I try my best i the past doing this & it seems to work at times, but not every time. I try my best to separate the art from the artist, but are many things that he has said that is uncalled for by anyone to say or do.

If call a person hurtful names, tell your fan base to kick them out of any convention that there at or ask them to tell you where they are. So you can kick their ass. This is not a very professional person at all to me.

Yous can hate my opinions as much as you like. I will take that feedback like a man & hear you out on my issues with people like Mark. I just can't see that Mark as a bad person. Even with all the trouble that he has gotten into with the critics & some of the fans that he alienated in the past.

Can he be a good boy for now on? I just don't know the answer to that question. There is some hope that Mark can change to be a better man then what we see now. With that said I just wish that what ever made Mark lose his mind can be fixed so that he himself can be a normal person.

Now do think that we all can forgive a person on their actions that they know where wrong & was not in the full control of themselves. I can give Mark a pass on some of the things that we posted on his social media & see if he as learned a lesson from it, but if he is up to his old tricks again. I don't think that he will be in the comic book industry fr much longer.

I just wish that people like Mark just quit hating the real world & putting in his comics that are failing hard & nobody is liking at all.
