Dimming Luminosity

Dying Light will be the topic of the day! I played this game quite a bit before Monster Hunter took over my life and I have to say it was quite the interesting game. It was a mix of Mirror's Edge (A old PS3 game involving parkour) and zombie slaying. Sounds wicked right? Yes you are right! Congratulations!

You start off this game as a sort of secret agent getting air dropped into an area that is said to have the cure for this zombie outbreak. You level up based off of combat, jumping and missions. From there you choose which you want to put more skill points in, Combat for more damage/ stronger weapons(literally and because you can actually break weapons), acrobatics being your use of stamina and sweet jump kicks, and survival which helps you with crafting items which is super important for survival as you will be making a lot of med kits. As your progress through the game you quickly find out night time is terrifying....and I mean like....TERRIFYING. The zombies or more so monsters that come out at night are fast, strong and will basically stop at nothing to kill you. Sounds fun right? Nope, nope and a whole lot of nope. 

I have not actually completed this game yet so I can't go into to much detail about the story line but it goes along the line of "hey idiot you're infected with the virus, find the cure or you know you're like dead. K thanks bye." Hopefully this peaked your interest. Oh and one last thing, if you're getting this for PC make sure your graphics card can handle it because let me tell you this is one pretty looking game I tell you what. Oh yeah and here's a video of the difference between night and day. Also it's pretty gory. 

Told you it was spoopy. 

Devil Might Cry or something?

Devil May Cry. This is a franchise that I have been devoted to since I picked my first PS2 many many moons ago. I have played and beaten every single game in the franchise with about being disappointed....okay maybe Devil May Cry 2.....let's pretend that game didn't happen. Anyway, this game basically took hack and slash games to a completely different level, with it's unique fighting dynamic, bad ass (pardon my french) character and awesome boss fights, this game set the standard for hack and slash.

You play the game as Dante, a smart ass who owns a shop that specializes in demon killing (kinda like the ghost busters but with guns and swords rather than vacuums). A mysterious women enters his shop and basically sets him on his first adventure in the franchise to a weird demon infested island. From here Dante will fight off demons while descending deeper into the island and what seems to be hell. Here he runs into many demons and monsters that know who he is. Now why do they know him you might ask? One little thing I left out....he is the son of Sparda who is basically the strongest demon fighter of hell who chose to go against everything evil only to be sent to the deepest pits of hell to be tortured. How wicked am I right? I know. All these demons see the resemblance not only in Dante himself but his fighting style as he proceeds to kill these demons with ease.

To end this little bit of my favourite franchise I would say skip the trying of this game and just buy it. They actually just revamped the series with a new art style and gave the Devil May Cry universe and new starting point as it takes place far before many of the older Devil May Cry games. So I leave you as always with a neat video on the game which hopefully inspires you to play the game.

Diablo the 3rd

No this isn't going to be some satanic post about the devil. Today i'll be talking to you about my adventures with a game called Diablo 3. This is an interesting game as there is a story to it, but you basically rush to get your character to the highest level as that is when the game really "starts". To people who don't play games they might think that doesn't sound fun at all, it is.

You choose from a select number of classes such as monk (my personal favourite), demon hunter, barbarian, witch doctor, crusader, and wizard. From there you rush to level 70 and basically start playing a game of chance, what I mean by this is you fight monsters and wait for them to drop really good gear for you to increase your characters stats. When these items drop the stat bonuses on them can "roll" differently, by roll I mean they can be either better or worse then the last exact same item you picked up, from there the game is just trying to get that item drop that is 1% better then the last.

Now I know you're asking, why is this fun? This is because it is and don't you question me on this.....okay it's fun because you start seeing yourself clear out monsters faster and start seeing your damage reaching ridiculously high numbers. I leave you now with a video of a friend of mines wizard doing a stupid amount of damage.

Day of Pay the Second

Today I am going to be talking about my adventures with Payday 2. This is a game that is heavily heavily based on cooperating with teammates. Without your team you are basically up a creek without a paddle, you have to basically strategize before you get into the game how you will rob the bank (oh yeah this game is about robbing banks), take out any security guards or cameras and get everyone in the bank down on the ground without raising any alarms. This is game actually isn't that violent for the most part as it actually requires you to think about your actions and how it will affect everyone else.

So i'll get into a bit more detail now. When I say it isn't that violent I mean you will only take out 4 people max per job and if you're really good, none because you can just sneak around security and steal the money. A huge aspect of this game is your concealment. You don't want to bring in giant guns on this mission as it will get you targeted quicker, you want small weapons and minimal body armour. The basic heist you will do is, go in and take out security without civilians noticing, after that you will shout everyone on the ground and tie up their hands so no one tries calling the cops, then drill into the fault, bag up all the gold and money, buddy system it out by throwing bag from person to person till it reaches the van, and lastly get in the van and drive away like with nobody noticing. See, nobody gets hurt!....ish. On top of all that you wear a mask to make it so they don't know who you are and as well with that you can get new masks and customize them to make you unique. Hopefully this made sense to you but if didn't I totally get that. That has been my little bit on Payday 2.
