The Guildmasters

Hi All,
Yes, we can finally view exactly what the PS 4 looks like now that it is readily available for ordering, and if you get it now you can have it in time for Christmas, how cool is that. Keep on reading for pics and specs. Firstly, let’s have a look at what we’ve all been waiting for:

Even though Sony has done away with the curves, this latest machine looks very cool. It looks chunky, rugged, yet still elegant. It really looks like there is something big under the hood if you know what I mean.
Many have said they weren’t surprised at the price, but I think they all said that afterward. I was extremely surprised seeing as that was the price of the PS 3 when it first hit the shelves. I thought for sure this one was going to be much higher if not more, Therefore,  I am impressed with that.
So what exactly is the PS4 offering us that we don’t already have? Let see what we now know:

This is the official info as on the Amazon website:

PlayStation 4 redefines rich and immersive gameplay with powerful graphics and speed, intelligent personalization, deeply integrated social capabilities, and innovative second-screen features
“Suspend mode” eliminates the load time on your saved game and allows you to immediately return to where you left off by pressing the power button.

Background downloading and updating capability also allows you to immediately play digital titles as they download, or update the system when the hardware is powered off.

PlayStation 4 lets you instantly share images and videos of your favorite gameplay moments on Facebook with a single press of the “share” button on the Dualshock 4 controller.

Broadcast while you play in real-time through Ustream, allowing friends to comment or jump into your game in new ways.
Games already announced for the PlayStation 4 include first-party titles Killzone: Shadow Fall, inFamous Second Son, Driveclub and Knack as well as partner titles Destiny, Diablo III, Deep Down and Watch Dogs.

I will post more news on the PS 4 as I get it. I also believe that most games will be made at 60 frames per second to give an even better gameplay. In the meantime, if you’re one of those who can’t wait to get your hands on one Amazon is taking orders right now!!!  Just click this link here to take you there, or you can also click on the picture below to take you right there too.

Hi all,

The Evil Within is an RPG/survival game that will be on all platforms. It will run at 30fps (which means you’ll get a really good experience), and I have just viewed a couple of trailers.

My initial opinion is that we have been waiting quite a while for a decent scare game to come out. For those of you who are getting a little bored of playing Resident Evil 5/6 this might well be for you.  The graphics are like you would imagine, fantastic and should be a great play for horror fans, like me.

I have only seen a few minutes of the trailer, but from that, it does look like a cross between Resident Evil games and Silent Hill, with maybe a little Doom type shock moments thrown in.  I want to see more and I’m going to be checking out some of the walkthroughs that is now available to view and I’ll comment more when I’ve done that.

What are your thoughts on this one, I’m interested to get some other viewpoints. Happy Gaming.

Hi all,

Well i’ve been caught up playing AC 3 for the last week so I apologize for not writing anything here. That is seriously how good this game is, really. If any of you loved Skyrim, I mean, who didn’t? Then you will love this game too, lets put it this way, it’s like Assassins Creed in skyrim, only bigger, much bigger.

It’s such an open world, it was three days before I came across a part where I couldn’t access due to the edge of the map, crazy huge this game is. So much to do, the main story is great but the side quests are so many, and it doesn’t get boring, it makes you want to complete everything. Graphics are amazing but there are a few glitches that can be forgiven.

They say you can platinum this game in around 60 hrs, to be honest, if you were playing it properly, investigating everything and enjoying the playtime, you could spend a few weeks on this without getting the platinum. I’m one week into this game and i’ve got around 70% but there are a few hard trophies, and a couple of time consuming ones, so you may as well do what I did, simply enjoy the game, do everything, and eventually that platinum will pop.

Last night I had a go on the multiplayer for a couple of hours and that puts yet another whole new aspect to the game, very enjoyable and very similar to Assassins Creed: Revelations. There is a good tutorial that I recommend playing before actually going into a match, and I see me playing multiplayer for a good couple of weeks, maybe longer. I will also play this game through again, it’s that good.

I really can’t say too much more without giving spoilers away, and believe me, I sooo want to tell more about this game, just go get it, rent it, buy it and play it, you won’t regret it, got to give it a 5 out of 5, nothing bad about it, seriously, you’ll love it too.

Hi all,

Christmas was busy on and offline so haven’t had the chance to post much here. That’s all going to change from now due to the fact that I got myself a new 250gig PS3, and not only that, my boys each got one too, so no more sharing my system, very nice:)

This means i’ll not only be getting more game time, but also that i’ll be able to start making the gaming videos again (yes I used to do that once). So since I now have a brand new system with almost 200gigs more than my previous system, I’ve decided to create a completely new online ID, yep, starting all over from scratch and dedicating this new system to playing strictly the best games, mostly RPG’s of course, with some action/adventure ones too.

On top of that I am looking for about 50 new friends, and it will be fairly hard to be accepted by me as i’m really going to be looking for players who spend a decent amount of time online playing but also, and more importantly, players who tend to play the same genre as me. So basically to be accepted by me as a friend, at least on this account, you need to really enjoy playing games like Skyrim, AC3, Dishonored, Uncharted etc..really what I call the top of the range RPG’s and Action/Adventure type games.

I will be going back into reviewing every game I play, and since I have acquired the Dazzle, thanks to christmas presents, I will now be putting videos up on my youtube site, this will be a few weeks from now as I have to purchase some extra cables and scarts and stuff. Also please don’t send me a friend request unless your willing to be in my videos as I will be recording a lot of my online multiplayer gametime.

Later in the new year i’ll also be setting up my gaming forum and i’ll review that at a later date and explain more about that. So for now I would like to wish everyone a happy new year and good luck gaming.

Hi all,

I decided to resign from the guild I was in today, there were several reasons behind this decision. I first want to say that it had nothing to do with the guild itself, the guild “In God We Trust” is an excellent guild, run by Kiya who is a great guildmaster, very helpful members too.

My decision was partly personal and partly selfish if i’m honest, one reason is that my friend Abu resigned (I do not know the reason why) and started a guild himself. He was probably the one who helped me the most, also he will also make a very good guildmaster as he always started a room in his home town offering help to other lower guild rank members.

Another reason for me leaving is because i’m getting a few new games that are just amazing, Assassins Creed 3, Dishonored, Borderlands 2 and Resident Evil 6. AC 3 and Dishonored are two games i’ve been waiting to play for a long time and I don’t think i’m going to get online with WKC 2 as much as I would like when I start playing these. This in turn means that if I don’t get online as much with WKC 2 I won’t get too far behind as i’m going to be with a new guild that will be starting at level 1.

This will also give me the opportunity to grow with a guild from the beginning to end, also hopefully getting some new members who have just started playing. I still would recommend my old guild, especially if your above guild rank 10 as they have a ton of experience and will always help out, especially on event nights.

I have left on good terms and hopefully will keep my friends i’ve made while in the guild and hopefully will be able to pop in and catch up and quest with a few from time to time.

Now I have to wait 3 days before I can join Abu and his new guild so I will try and finish up any bounties I have outstanding and try and get some S ranks on the lower ranked quests that I haven’t yet done. I’m looking forward to my new games as well as starting a fresh new chapter in the White Knight Chronicles 2

Hi all,

Didn’t get much in the way of quests, did a Free Monster Quest (fmq) and one or two others but then time got away with me again and it was time for bed:(

There was a new member of the guild who had not yet really started story mode on WKC 1 so I would like to offer some advice to new players getting hold of WKC 1 or/and 2. One of the first things you should do is to complete story mode, there are many reasons for this.

Firstly if you go straight online as soon as you can, you limit yourself to what you can do, only low guild rank quests will be open to you and eventually you will have to finish story mode, especially in WKC 2, so you can open up other areas.

In WKC 1 if you finish story mode then you will be at a reasonable level and guild rank to be able to go online and hold your own with other similar leveled players. Also on WKC 1 if you start a new game+ you can get yourself extra items free, up to guild rank 7 and 8 armors and weapons as there are more chests with better items in them.

On WKC 2 you have to finish story mode in order to get Vellgander opened up, this is an area that everyone needs in order to get better equipment and weapons at higher guild rank and levels. If you do not finish story mode in both games you will seriously miss out on a lot of stuff and many quests. With Vell, you cannot join a vell quest even if another player has it, you just won’t be able to join unless you open it up by completing the story.

I know there are many games out there where you don’t have to even play story mode to go online, and playing online is fun, but with these two particular games I would advice very strongly that you really need to complete story mode in order to fully enjoy the experience.

Will update more tomorrow, happy gaming.

Hi all,

I’ve just been over to youtube and watched this amazing footage of one of the first videos online of the first part of Assassins Creed 3, it doesn’t really spoil anything as it just shows the introduction and part of the tutorial. It’s worth checking out so you can see how good it is compared to previous Assassins Creed games, so if you don’t have it yet this will give you a taste.

There are more of them but if you don’t want to spoil anything for yourself I would recommend just watching the first one, this guy is pretty cool too. And giving you a chance to win a collectors edition AC3 and console, very nice. Hope I win one, lol.

Hi all,

Well another era of showtime is coming to an end. Personally I stopped watching Attack of the Show when it got stupid and started talking less and less about games. X-play on the other hand I watched all the time, and when I missed a show I got it on demand which was great as they always showed the latest releases, had many exclusive trailers and demos which you saw for the first time, it’s a shame that show is coming to an end.

And no, they haven’t given a reason, personally I thought it was just really taking off, with over 1,000 episodes, and a change of presenters, it was looking better than ever, but then, that’s the way things are, you usually get a really good show and start really getting into it just as the producers axe it.

Considering there aren’t any other game shows out there, it now means if you want to see the latest game trailers, you will have to hope they put them on youtube or in the PSN.

At least E3 2013 is still going ahead, these two shows will be finishing at the end of 2012 and most of the last shows will be about previous episodes, yeah great ending guys, let’s finish off in style, with shows that everyone has already seen, good job.

Another new game released by Bethesda, yes that got your attention, because they make some of the best games ever, is called Dishonored.

This one is an extremely good stepping stone for those who was hoping for a Thief 4 release, as your pretty much an assassin, lots of dark shadows and places to hide, making kills or choosing not to. Of course you never started out that way, you was a bodyguard of an Empress, until you were framed for her murder. Already interesting isn’t it?

So now you have to set out to get those that framed you, sounds easy, and fun, yet there is a lot more to it than that.

The game is a vast open world and you have numerous weapons and abilities some of which will quite amaze you. A very realistic game of stealth, or not, depending how you want it to play out. See you can either kill all your targets head on, or you can choose to surprise them and kill them stealthily. Ahh, but it has also been said that you can go through the entire game without killing anyone, how cool is that?

This game has a lot of playability, and when I say that I mean you won’t mind playing through it a second or even a third time.

There are so many different ways to kill someone in this game you won’t get bored of it, and the scenery, graphics and animation puts this at the top with all those other epic movie type games out there. The story could have been more detailed and slightly better but that takes nothing away from the gameplay.

This is another one on my personal list and it’s already available to buy, on both the PS3 and XBox360, so if your looking for a cool assassin game to play while waiting for AC 3? Go buy this one, you won’t regret it.

Hi all,

Yes there are at least two gameplay videos of the new Assassins Creed 3 on PSN which I really recommend you download and watch. One is of the city and one is out of the city and surrounding area.

After watching them several times, and yes it is addictive just to watch, I couldn’t believe how everything flows so well, very natural and seamless. I love the part where you can blend into cover, a little brush and you can crouch and become almost invisible.

This becomes part of not only stealth play for assassinations, but also for hunting game so you can sell for profit to stalls in towns.

There are also many new ways to distract guards, like using the dart rope to hang a person which, in turn attracts the guards while you sneak around another way. Also assassinating from moving carts is a new area. Before you could only do this from stationary carts, now you can jump onto and into things while they are moving.

You won’t be able to heal while in battle, although this seems like a downside it is more true to life, you can heal once a battle is over. The idea is to keep all the movement, even in battle, flowing and getting the right moves performed so you can get through in one piece.

Much of it sounds complicated but as with all the great games it always takes a little while to get used to the mechanics of the game but it is always worth it in the end and I think this will take little time to get all the controls down pat.

Check the two downloads out, you won’t regret it and you will be even more desperate to get your hand on a copy of this, I can’t wait, lol. The downloads only take a few minutes on a good connection and you can watch them while they are downloading.
