The World 2: Not .hack but another World!

  After having watched a gameplay video for The World 2 I must say...I AM PUMPED FOR THIS GAME! It reminds me of monster hunter with different parts of the monster breaking off or the monster falling over! Also what caught my interest is the promise of actual online play with a group of players! Nothing like seeing someone be eaten by a giant worm...or a giant gorilla or t-rex! This game looks promising and I must say that I am really hoping this releases soon! If you are interested in following and staying up to date with any news from the developers feel free to check out their facebook page here! The World Online 2

How do you feel about private servers?

 
  Private servers for online games have been popping up and even more so as the years have passed! Games like World of Warcraft,Ragnarok Online,MU Online,and many other online games have a large amount of private servers! To those that are not familiar with what a private server is it is basically a copy of the official game with higher experience rates,higher drop rates,higher quest exp,and so on. It also has some custom features such as balancing classes more than the official or making it so you can exchange in game currency for cash shop currency to buy your goods! But that's what it is in a nutshell! What I want to know is...how do you feel about these servers? Do you consider it stealing another person's work? Do you encourage it? Do you play on private servers?

  Personally I don't mind them. Often times I would rather play on a private server than the official one. Mainly because on the official servers I am usually fine with the game...but that cash shop kills it for me! That is the only time I will switch to a private server! The cash shop is fine I get it the game needs money but really? Putting a rare or epic grade weapon in the cash shop for $20? That defeats the purpose of even playing the game in the first place! Might as well just tell me from the start "Pay $50 and get epic grade armor and weapons and a flying mount that farts rainbows and one shots everyone on the map"! That is my only pet peeve with some online games and I've played on private servers that either completely remove that factor or make it so that you get more credits for your dollar! Which is fine since,again,servers aren't cheap!

What's your take on private gaming servers?

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate: Killing time at work!

  Been playing so much with the Sword and Shield's in this game that this weapon of choice has become my actual all time favorite weapon! I recently finished creating all the elemental shield and swords I would need for future use as well as FINALLY finishing the Ancientshard sword and shield...and I must say that she is a true beauty! I also recently went to a local comic book store known as Kaboom Comics and found a few other players to join in this game! So far I am not complaining since now that I have a large group of players I can actually finish most quests with ease! Although they kind of hate me for not dying so much(SKILLZ) I tell them that the more they hunt and get used to a weapon they will be able to dance circles around any monster!

  Right now though I am trying to complete a poison sword called Helt Epee just because it looks awesome and goes with my Gigginox X set! The grind is intense though and I've been farming G-Rank Gigginox for the past three hours and haven't gotten one darn foul venom gland haha! Also have been forgetting to take antidotes(stupid of me) so I suppose it's time for me to get some rest before I start forgetting exactly how to dodge and stuff! Night!

Final Fantasy Appears! Type-0 and XV

   Why would I put these two games in the same article? Well because not only are they both Final Fantasy games but Final Fantasy Type-0 will include a demo of Final Fantasy XV! So that's why! Both these games will be releasing on the Playstation 4 and Xbox One! I've never seen a Square Enix game be released on a console other than Nintendos or Sonys but change is good right?! Both Final Fantasy titles will be fast paced and action packed as well as Type-0 allowing you to switch out with members of Class-0,a group of talented individuals,and XV allowing you to drive cars and go on roadtrips with your buddies! March 17 marks the release of Final Fantasy Type-0 so start saving money to buy it and get your hands on the FFXV demo! I know I will! One of the changes I am most looking forward to in XV is the larger open world! I'm hoping to be able to find a few secret items and maybe even secret bosses littered around certain areas! Since I am going to cut this article short due to not really having that much info on the games expect to be updated if I see any more news! :D

Buff Knight: Simple Yet Addictive!

  No this game is NOT about a knight that is buff! But you can buff up your knight! Doesn't make sense at first but you'll get it as you read on! The story is...well...nothing new. Evil dragon kidnapped a princess and you have to go rescue her...oh did I mention the dragon is RED?! Yeah doesn't really change it up much but whatever! You start off your adventure with no artifacts(explained later on) and crappy gear as well as no money. Again nothing new. Now as you play on you start to notice that the bats hit hard...which shouldn't be a surprise since BATman probably trained them...and that every vase and monster that you kill drops money! Expected but what's it for? You have to die(in game) in order to find out! Also note that you will auto move and deal damage if when you bump into an enemy! The only things you need to worry about are your health and mana as well as using the magic attack when needed! Oh and don't forget to tap on monsters you knock into the air...you deal more damage that way! ;)

The volume bar is NOT part of the game!!!

  Ignoring the volume control...you can see that you have different attributes which you can upgrade using certain gems dropped by monsters and boxes and that stupid angel that you have to click on when it appears! Strength for damage,dexterity for critical chance,intelligence for magic attack,and endurance...for health. Death in this game does not mean the end...it just means you get to upgrade and BUFF up your KNIGHT before trying again! But that's not all you can do with the currency you get! You can also upgrade your gear! Let me show you!

Red is in this season for knight armor!

  As you can see gold can be used to upgrade your gear in two ways. The first being that you can choose to add an option to each individual piece of gear! The options range from increased critical chance to absorbing damage! This makes it more interesting and yes you do have to actually think about which to get! If you upgrade your gear you gain defense and can survive longer but if you do that the options DO NOT pass over! This means you better have enough gold to add another option to it or you will have to hope that the defense increase is enough! The options are also randomized so you might get +20% health once and then the next time get +1% health! It's a gamble and it's addictive! You can also upgrade your gear to another tier which as stated before increases the defense but erases the options! Choose wisely!

  After upgrading your weapons and gear you head back out to kick some bat ass! Only to realize that the monsters have also gotten stronger...well then! This adds to the difficulty level as well as keeping things interesting! The stronger and further you get the stronger the monsters get! Don't worry you obviously get your usual health and mana potions as well as that really awesome magic attack that you can use to kill off difficult monsters! But that's just story mode! That's right...there are TWO MODES! Please...hold your applause!

  Like I said there are two modes! Endless mode is the more...competitive mode! In this mode you just...well...go on endlessly like the name suggests until you meet your inevitable death! The perks of getting into this mode is that you unlock artifacts more often! With a total of 20 artifacts and some that level if you get a duplicate one increasing their effects! This means that even if you die you will get stronger and stronger until you are able to keep up with all the Asians(and possibly weaboos) that have a high score of 500,000,000! I'm still trying but I am about...1/100th of the way there! I suspect if I try hard enough and get enough of those freaking artifacts that I will be able to take over the leader board! Maybe...one day...or year! That being said here are all the artifacts I've collected to date and also a shortcut to getting the game!

Thanks for reading! I hope this helped in some way or another and if you enjoyed it and want to hear more about new/old games I play feel free to bookmark or submit an email to receive updates when a new article is posted! Game on like it's a religion! <3
                                                            

Omega and Alpha: Pokemon Fanboy in Me Says YES!!!

  Are you REGI for this pokemon fans? Yeah I know this is kinda late but still I might as well right about the two games that consumed a large portion of my time as a kid! I spent countless hours on these games getting a complete pokedex and adventuring with my Sceptile throughout the Hoenn region! Everything about these two games made my childhood slightly better although I never really competed with my team I might start now! Besides the onslaught of new megas that we will be receiving as well as the primal devolutions of Kyogre and Groudon this game is going to be a blast and hopefully nothing gets screwed up! I heard that a few of the legendaries from past pokemon games will be appearing so maybe they'll be tied into the story or they might just be there after you beat the pokemon leauge? IDK! But excitement is coursing through my very veins right now! Preordered BOTH copies and I already have all the baby forms of my team that I have used since ruby and sapphire with a few variations!

  My team is going to consist of: Sceptile,Gallade,Bisharp,Umbreon,Snorlax,and Klefki(lvl 1)! Leveling all of these bad boys is gonna be awesome and even though I don't really have much "synergy" with each other I always have made it work in pokemon battles against most trainers! Only time I ever really have problems is with trick room...mainly because I just really am too lazy to figure out how to beat it! xD

  What about you guys? What are you most looking forward in these remakes? What team are you gonna go with and what do you think about the new megas? :o

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: Who the hell is ready for this?! -raises hand way up high-

  Having played MH3U for a long LONG time I have been waiting for this next game since I completed the Dire Miralis set and haven't really had much incentives to play since not many of my friends do anymore. Yeah this has been out for a while but ever since I saw the trailer showing you could climb on a monsters back and go to town with your weapon just made things even more interesting! They are adding so many mechanics that make the game more challenging as well as giving you an advantage from time to time! The new weapons also look pretty sweet if you ask me! One lets you use an insect as a pet to attack and give boosts or distract the monster and the other just looks like it's going to freaking hurt if you hit anything with it! JUST LOOK AT THEM!

  I am seriously tempted to get the staff just because I want to see how it works and master it...and kill stuff with it of course! I also read somewhere that the insects have a sort of leveling system similar to the weapon upgrading system! From what I know the insect will shoot a pheromone bullet and attack the area where it hit! This is important since different body parts of the monster will give you different essences or buffs. Thankfully you can enter an aim mode and select which specific part you want to attack! Check out the wiki and read about the other mechanics to this weapon! Monster Hunter Wiki

  The charge axe also looks pretty neat and it's similar to the switch axe with the whole phial charging and charge attacks except that instead of switching from axe to a two handed sword it changes to a sword and shield or an axe! Neat huh? These two new weapons add so much more to the original roster than before and I am going to enjoy crafting and gathering all of them! Going to have to put my sword and shield down for now! 

  Oh and another thing that really caught my attention...ONLINE PLAY! This means I no longer have to stare at my friends screw up or face criminal charges if I lose my temper and punch them in the face! I win TWICE! But seriously this is awesome because that means I can tackle challenges with other players at the usual ungodly hours that I am awake and not have to try and solo anything as much! Friends to play with at all times?! ALL TIMES! This makes me happy! :'D

  They are also releasing a few cameos in the game as dlc which is free from what I hear! This is pretty neat because I mean...COME ON! Mario felyne armor and samus armor?! Awesome! There has been a bunch of complaining about this though and I don't see why not. One of the excuses was that it messed with the lore of the game. Okay explain the lore of the pumpkin armor. Did the hunter get high and think pumpkins would make for good protection? No. If you don't like it don't download it. There problem solved! There were other reasons but that one was the one that stood out the most...and didn't really make sense. A recent release...is...SAMUS! A space bounty hunter hunting monsters...and collecting bounties. Now how the hell is that out of place people? Maybe she needs the money! Really now. I am not sure if there will be a male samus suit but if not I am crossing my fingers for...megaman armor! Hey it could happen! 

  And to finish this off the felynes are back in town! Now instead of annoying break dancing midgets we have cats that will probably do a better job not being as useless as the other two. Seriously they would heal me after AFTER I used a potion and was at full health. Well gee thanks...for nothing! Gah I swear sometimes I would smack them around just to make sure they didn't get in my way! Hate them! 

  Sorry about the rant....anyways! Another thing they released which might appeal to some of the more hardcore hunters or collectors out there...is the collectors edition! Some of the things in it aren't really to die for but I want that chest and the freaking figure! Because those two things are to die for! If they included a mh4u limited edition 3dsxl along with the game and all these goodies I would glady pay $200+ to get it all! Because Japan has a limited edition 3dsxl...and we don't! It's not cool yo! Yeah I'm grateful to even be getting this game over here in America but COME ON! Hopefully they release it over here sometime soon...until then...I will just die of envy! ;-;

  That about sums up this article for now! I am really really dying to play this game right now! What about you guys? Anyone care to you know...exchange friend codes and prepare for the future! Just leave a comment with your friend code and I'll reply with mine! Feel free to add each other as well! :D
