Belial: Art of the Devil: I like what I see!!!


  A game influenced by Castlevania Symphony of the Night...now THAT is something that I would love to see! I recently got an e-mail asking if I would like to contribute to this through kickstarter...my answer? HELL YES! From what I read it will be available on the PC(through Steam),iOS,and Android meaning that I can play this at home,at school,and at work! It's not like anything important happens at those locations right? Right! I'm going to be keeping this article short because well to be honest...they basically covered everything on the site! I am hyped though about a few features especially a skill tree based on the unholy trinity...OH THAT IS SO AWESOME! I would love if I could distribute my points where ever I wanted to and mix it up a bit for a few different feel to the game! I'm all for diversity like the original Diablo had! I spent hours working on my necromancer and even though there were a few builds that were more end game centric people could still do well with what they had come up with!

  Another feature is the equipment forging! It's stated on the site that you can dissolve gear into better gear which means I can farm till my eyes bleed and be covered in epic loot! Also the story isn't half bad! It revolves around your main character Belial a half human,half demon being who was abandoned in hell and his throne taken over by Satan! What really caught my interest was who Belials mother is...it's Eve! Since she committed the first sin it would make sense for Belial to have been born shortly after! Although...I am still wondering how that happened? But whatever I'll figure it out when it gets released! There is a subplot as well but I've gone on long enough! Here is a link to the website describing everything in detail from the skills to the story and subplot! There are a few spoilers though but that is fine! I still look forward to owning and playing this game soon! Check it out here!

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
