The Guildmasters

Well I messed up last night, I decided I would create a new account so I could put my blog address in my profile, so I deleted my account so I could create a new one but I didn’t realize it would take everything out, including my add-on for resident evil 5 which is versus.

After a while I realized it wasn’t that bad as I just re-added my old account as the second account, and I eventually found my download for versus so I got everything back, including my trophies which was a big sigh of relief for me.

Only trouble now is although I can play versus again I only have two characters, Chris and Sheva as re-instating my old username has put the game back to as though I haven’t played it yet, which means I now have to play through the game again at least once to unlock mercs so I can earn enough points to buy the weskers and other characters, Wesker being 50,000 it’s going to take me a while to get my characters back.

The funny thing was I started to play through the game again last night for a bit on amateur mode and i’ve either forgotten where a lot of stuff is or just forgotten how tight ammo was in the beginning because by the time I got to fight the boss “Uroboros”, that’s the wierd oily wormy looking creature your supposed to trap in the incinerator I had no ammo left, believe it or not with my last 6 shotgun shells and Sheva’s last 8 shots in the handgun I had to finish him off with my knife, didn’t think that was possible, it took about 20 minutes but I eventually done him in.

Anyway that’s why I won’t be hosting anymore versus matches for a while, well at least a week anyway.
I will stop over and play some matches but just won’t be hosting any for a while.

Keep your eye out for some upcoming posts when I will be showing you the new 250 gig slim PS3 and where to buy it.

I’ll be hosting a game of slayers most nights between 6:30pm and midnight if anyone wants to join me, i’m just having fun so don’t be shooting me ok?
If you want to shoot another player go survivors not slayers. You can always pop back here and chat about it afterwards, your always welcome.

Since playing versus online i’ve become even more engrossed in this addictive game, I don’t think i’ll ever get all the trophies but that’s what is going to keep me playing this as long as there are players out there playing this game.

That’s not how I know i’m an addict of this game though, this morning I was watching my son play world series of poker on his PS2 system, I like poker but I started thinking of ways to liven up the game.

Imagine the game world series of poker played with all the characters of Resident Evil 5, how cool would that be? You’d have a poker table with the Executioner who would cut the table in half with his axe when he lost a hand.

After watching a cut scene of 4 Majini’s carry a new table into the room you would carry on playing the game, after Wesker lost a hand he would dash around the table finishing with a knee kick shattering the table into a million pieces ( followed by the cut scene of another new table ).

Then you’d have Jill lose a hand only to see her flip-kick the table upside down and finish it off with her double knee drop, and Wesker in the background taunting “it was in your best interest to lose to me”.

I could go on but you get the picture, does this make me a Resident Evil addict or just an over active imagination?

What other games do you like and how would you incorporate other characters into that game?

This one is specially for “lilhunter” who asked me how to perform Jill’s “flip-kick”, here are Jill’s melee attacks including the two specials which are difficult to perform.
It sounds like 3rd strike combo A and B are the most difficult, which is the move in question, i’ve spent an hour trying this and not succeeded, I’ve marked the one attack in bold as I believe that is the attack you do to follow up in order to perform 3rd strikes A and/or B
I’ll keep trying until I get it but in the meantime if you want to see it actually performed there are a few vids on this attack at you tube.

Jill’s Melee:

After a successful headshot: High Kick, Left Roundhouse to the face

After a successful shot to the arm (Front): Spin Kick, a simple,quick Capoeira style kick which sends Jill’s enemies reeling back, open for the devastating combo.

After a successful shot to the leg (Front): Sweep Kick, a straight kick to the face.

After a successful shot to the leg (Back): Head Grab, a violent grapple similar to Sheva’s, Jill lands on her enemies shoulders knee-first and uses her leg strength to snap her victims neck.

After an enemy is dropped to the floor: Double Knee Drop, a violent jumping attack in which Jill drops all her weight onto the enemies chest with her knees.

3rd Strike combo A: Cartwheel Kick, an extremely powerful ValeTudo attack in which Jill performs a cartwheel and drops the enemies tothe floor face first with extreme force.

3rd Strike combo B: Flip Kick, a powerful attack where Jill performs a flash kick, destroying the enemy’s head.

Hi all,
Since playing versus online i’ve met a lot of new friends and some very good players, I thought I was good because i’d completed mercs and completed the main story in amateur, normal and veteran.
When I got online it was completely different, I have no chance at survivors so i’ve started experimenting with the special moves in mercenaries using wesker, i’ve just learnt all his moves including the hardest one of all which is the knee kick, it’s not that hard but if you want to turn while dashing then perform the knee kick it is one of the hardest moves i’ve had to do in a game because of the controls it has made it fairly difficult to perform and it’s a move that you would hardly ever use, but it is very cool.

I’ve also been asked by a couple of people about the special moves, the latest person to ask me about this topic was a very decent player I played on slayers called “lilhunter”

I was asked about the “flip kick” for Jill and had no idea how to perform this move so over the next day or two i’m going to publish all the characters and their individual special moves and how to perform them.

I will also attempt to try each character myself to make sure what i’m writing is correct so bear with me on that.
Ok will update more tomorrow as I need to research these moves and try them out.

Tony

I’ve created a category for this topic because after playing versus I realize this game is still very popular even though some would count it as an old game.

There are hundreds of players playing versus and i’m a bit addicted to it, I already have some new buddies which is cool too.

I really haven’t got the hang of playing survivors yet so I tend to stick to slayers and team slayers and i’m still trying to get 8 of the online trophies, it will be a while before I get the ones for survivors.

If you want to play me just post your username here and i’ll post a request to you next time I see you there.

I have noticed there are quite a few people there who either don’t know how to play properly or they just get mad if your winning as a few times i’ve had people just go crazy on me and that’s in slayers where your not really supposed to attack each other.

Let me know your pet hates and loves of this addictive online game.

So far the two best bundles i’ve found are these two, both at walmart but it’s early days yet, i’m sure closer to christmas, maybe the end of November there will be a few more enticing bundles to choose from as companies try to promote more sales for the month of December. It’s a buyers market out there at the moment with lots of competition and you’ll find some decent deals the closer it gets to December.

Bookmark us as we will be getting first hand info on the latest bundles to hit the market, we’re still keeping our eye out for an uncharted 2 bundle rumored to be hitting stores so we are checking constantly.

First bundle we found worth showing on the ps3 was this system at $299 with Uncharted:Drakes Fortune thrown in also a voucher for a free download of Pain should be worth something:

Product info: This limited edition bundle includes Uncharted: Drake's Fortune game, new DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller, voucher for downloadable PAIN game**, free PLAYSTATION®Network membership, internet ready Wi-Fi, and 160Gb of hard disk storage for all your games, music, videos, and photos. Every PS3" comes with a built-in Blu-ray player to give you the best high-definition viewing experience and pristine picture quality. Plus, the PS3 can play your entire catalog of CDs and DVDs.

The second one we found was the XBox360 bundle, not sure if this is one of those where you hope to get the games advertised but could change depending on availability, you may want to bear this in mind as they do that sometimes, this system comes with two games, the two advertised with the system is Pure and Lego Batman again priced at $299 both systems are good deals but I personally think better bundles will show up:

Product info:
The Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Bundle is a great value with two great games included, a massive hard drive, an HDMI port (HDMI cable sold separately), a black wireless controller and headset, and a premium black finish. With three powerful core processors and full surround sound, the console redefines what games look like, sound like, feel like, and play like to engage you like never before. Every Xbox 360 game title supports a mini¬mum of 720p, and up to 1080p high definition resolution or 480p standard definition resolution, in 16:9 widescreen

I own the PS3 80gig so am very biased but I will list other game systems and bundles which look like a good buy, it's really personal choice which is why i've listed both systems, also in case you were wondering the pictures are large as I wanted you to get a clear look at the offer, most times pictures are too small to see anything.

Let us know what system you prefer and why, anything gaming is up for discussion.
