Anyway, after 2 weeks of playing you get this guiltiness playing Black Ops, like ths feeling like 'Black ops, you fuckin' ruined my life!!'<br /><br />But I still have fun with it. <br />Still hate Activision.<br /><br />I also got Mass Effect 2. I'm saving the game for later when I have time but I played the first level and it's pretty good. I'd recommend it. <br /><br />As with Minecraft, I've got a "free" copy, so don't know how far I can go with hosting and stuff. I dont have plans of buying Minecraft until the full thing comes out. The price is pretty steep for a story-less game.<br /><br />- DerekAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290096371102545606.post-77303374510076789142011-01-02T02:29:48.354+02:002011-01-02T02:29:48.354+02:00That's just the problem with Black Ops and it&...That's just the problem with Black Ops and it's kind, I don't like first-person multiplayer shooting. Only exceptions have been Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and Battlefield Heroes.<br /><br />I did finish World of Good. I liked it, but after getting through the story once I never went back.<br /><br />I wouldn't have anything in particular against playing more minecraft in any way, but you'd have to host the game. And we'd probably need to have the same version of the game to get it to work. <br />I think I have seen Creepers float around in water, and I don't think they're too aggressive when swimming. Never seen zombies in deep water.Johnny Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079081453213508658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290096371102545606.post-82464299071423769242011-01-01T16:47:21.033+02:002011-01-01T16:47:21.033+02:00Battlefield is a pretty shitty game in comparison ...Battlefield is a pretty shitty game in comparison to Black Ops. The thing with Black Ops is that it's soert of addictive. <br /><br />You want to constantly play to unlock stuff. Its the sort of game you'd enjoy a lot cause there are trophies/achievements, and then trhere are also internal challenges (but you don't get trophies/achievements for them) but they improve your kill/death ratio. Like get 200 kills with the Famas or whatever. All these result in extra experience points. Then there's EXP for headshots, buzz kills, collaterals, triple kills, no scoping etc.<br /><br />The best thing is the killstreaks. It feels highly rewarding to call in the air support to gun down enemies, or set off attack dogs to go and take chunks out of people's asses postman-style. Napalm strikes are also awesome, imagine bombing a complete sector of a particular map with these huge fire blast thingy. Like a mini nuclear explosion sort of. <br /><br />I dunno, it's beyond amazing and extremely rewarding but the connection issues piss me off deeply. From time to time (at least 1 out of 3 matches suffer from this), you get host migrations, which is pissy cause it serves as a huge speed bump, slowing down the action, and could make you lose at times. There are also times where you get disconnected and have to reconnect into XBL by manually testing the connection. Often these occur when I happen to be pwning and at the top of the leaderboard. But I doubt it happens to everyone as frequently as it happens to me as I am using a wifi connection so maybe thats why but my connection according to my XBL is still strong, dont understand why I get disconnected. <br /><br />Anyway, the game is fun and rewarding (well the multiplayer is) but like I said, there are technical problems and always some racist shits (who happen to be Scottish) who think its funny to scream down their headset. Then there are also loads of 6 year olds thinking their all hard and stuff.<br /><br />Yeah, its best you avoid it unless its incredibly cheap (which I doubt seeing as MW2 is still higher than BO - makes no fuckin' sense). <br /><br />By the way, did you happen to finish World of Goo? What was your opinion of that?<br />And do you wanna do Minecraft survival guide multiplayer LP thingy?? I'm building a huge sandcastle in the middle of the ocean. Since you've played it more than me, can the zombies and creeper swim? I've seen some pigs and cows and some spiders too fail at swimming, also the skeleton archer dudes, but never the others. <br /><br />Goin' out<br />- DerekAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290096371102545606.post-68943346020807567942010-12-31T03:29:02.267+02:002010-12-31T03:29:02.267+02:00No fear of me buying Black Ops, I don't think ...No fear of me buying Black Ops, I don't think I'll ever get that game because Battlefield: Bad Company 1 and 2 cover what little it is I need from first-person shooter games of that type.<br /><br />I don't want to do a blind LP of New Vegas, because for one I'm playing so slow that by the time I'm done there'd be 150 hours of footage to sort through and secondly I want to enjoy the HD quality and I can't record HD.<br /><br />I think I'll post something about Dead Rising 2 withing the next 24 hours if the new year of 2011 arriving doesn't distract me too much.Johnny Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079081453213508658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290096371102545606.post-61414149749947908202010-12-31T01:00:33.242+02:002010-12-31T01:00:33.242+02:00Wow you got more for Xmas than I did :P
Glad to h...Wow you got more for Xmas than I did :P<br /><br />Glad to hear you got Dead Rising 2 and New Vegas. Two awesome games. I still don't quite understand why New Vegas is so cheap now (£20 - which is £5 more than what GTA IV is being sold at now), even though it sold more copies than Fallout 3 (or am I wrong)?<br /><br />Since I was so hooked on New Vegas, I decided to touch Fallout 3, a game I truly hate - or till I played it again, hated. I just understand now how awesome the game is. My first time through the game, I just disliked it cause it wasn't my sort of thing. I just wanted to shoot stuff up and didn't have patience for a non-linear game (other than GTA) and well, I just wanted every game to be a GTA. Now after playing through the game, I really find the story engaging. The main reason why I started playing Fallout 3 was cause I had a second viewing of your Fallout LP. It was awesome, so much it wanted me to play it and apply some of your crazy styles to find out the outcomes on my own screen. This is exactly the reason why you should continue that LP. Anyway, I played through quite a bit, and I just can't believe the fact that I DONT want to blow up Megaton so quickly like you did. I find it hard to leave Megaton as it's the safest place I have discovered so far. I've been doing loads of chores for the psychotic Moira (who the fuck would want to injure themself for an experiment!?)<br /><br />Anyway, even after 9 hours of game time, I'm still doing tasks for the people in Megaton. I'm playing through at my own pace. I also find the violence very much satisfying. Who doesn't like cutting every limb in the victim's fuckin' body!?<br /><br />I also got Black Ops for the 360 this Christmas. It's so awesome. You shouldn't get it though. One, I heard the PS3 version has many issues online, and even the 360 version has its fair amount of problems and disconnecting issues. I've only touched the multiplayer, but I played through the first 3 levels of the main campaign and I'm highly impressed by how its full of action and actually felt like you made a difference to the war you were involved within. The best part was the zombie mode. I lasted for 7 rounds playing on solo, but then decided to play on co-op and lasted till round 19. The multiplayer and zombie mode is pretty much the thing which is forcing me to keep coming back for more fun. I've paused Fallout 3 just to play Black Ops. I wish to only progress further in the main campaign after I'm done with my other prioritised games (Fallout 3, Minecraft - you were responsible for making me play this too, and perhaps Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare - which is amazing, I prefer it over the actual game). <br /><br />By the way, you simply MUST do a LP for New Vegas ASAP. If you want me and others to return to it, you gotta do an LP. Preferably now cause a blind run would be better for all of us. You should also do an LP of Dead Rising 2. I played it at a friends house, it's quite fun but it's too arcadey. Ever since playing gems such as Black Ops and Fallout, a strong plot really matters to me, so I probably won't be purchasing Dead Rising 2 till prices go so low so much that owners would practically want to throw it out for free. <br /><br />Anyway - thats all. I'm so tired. Nower days I wake up at 12PM and go to bed at 4:30AM<br />It's like a must-do thing, I simply cannot get any sleep till its around 4 or 5, some bad habit as I've been occupying myself with games lately. Even now I'm super tired after playing shit loads of GTA IV multiplayer, so I apologise for any grammatical errors.<br /><br />And less than 2 more days for the new year. Can you believe it? I hope you return to the walkthroughing business fairly soon, hopefully with a new start from next year onwards. <br /><br />Cheers<br />- DerekAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
