The Guildmasters

I know I usually only discuss RPG’s here but this shooter is pretty unique. I don’t particularly like shooters unless they have something different that appeals to me, and this one appeals.

I have my son to thank for this one as I got it for him but got hooked myself, your a cop with a dog for a sidekick, his name is shadow and it’s probably one of the most realistic dogs i’ve seen in any game.

It’s a great fun game, not too long so you get bored and enough to keep your interest, the dog is great fun and I don’t really understand the negative reviews i’ve read on this game, it’s great.

It’s also a fairly easy game to platinum if your into trophies (like me), the hardest two being getting gold on every level and completing the game on detective (hard).

You do have a decent arsenal of weapons to choose from including a sniper rifle, some may be disappointed if they have played previous Dead to Rights games as I believe in earlier games you could use more melee weapons like baseball bats etc..

You do have an array of melee attacks with slow motion available if you need to use it, takedowns are great to watch, gives you a mini cut scene of Jack finishing the move and there are plenty of different ones to enjoy.

Most chapters (10 in all) have a section where you take control of the dog, then you have to switch back to Jack, this is one of the things that keep it interesting, it’s great playing as Jack but it’s also great fun playing as Shadow, you can either charge on in there to rip an enemies throat out or perform stealth kills which is more fun and more score too.

Even if you don’t generally like shooters you’ll probably enjoy this one, and even though it’s not a two player it’s an easy game to take turns with, which is what me and my son did.

The only downside to this game is the fact you can’t play two player, I don’t think it would have been that hard to make it into a two player game, one playing as Jack and one playing as Shadow. Also I was disappointed there was no online play, it could have been a lot of fun.

As far as buying this game, if your into a decent shooter game then yes i’d buy it (I did), if your not a real shooter fan but like a bit of fun now and then and a break from the norm, rent it at least.

Well I decided to get on the game for a couple of hours before bed and ended up playing until almost 6am but it was worth it. I needed a break and it turned out to be a lot of fun.

Cuffy turned up along with a player I hadn’t played before, GR 15 Tyranus and we ran a few quests, Arena 2 and caravan escort 3, no crowns but fun still.

Thanks guys, hope to see Tyranus in the forum soon, I believe he is a friend of Genmei so should be cool having him around and hopefully we will get many more WKC players in there soon.

Well today was a complete turnaround, I managed to get on at a different time and it made all the difference.

What made it even better was that I met up with 3 of my friends from the forum, Cuffy, Genmei and Death, it’s actually the first time for me to get 4 of us running together that actually knew each other, it was cool and a lot of fun.

We mainly ran SA 1 as we are all different Guild Ranks as well as a couple of other quests.

I can’t wait for WKC 2 so we can get six in a quest, that will be so cool, I won’t care if we all die it will be a ton of fun questing with six friends. Thinking about it we would become the mobs,lol.

Hope we can do this again sometime real soon, thanks guys..

Last night was actually the worse for me in terms of helping people, I tried to complete Jackals and Hides with Ryan but it just didn’t happen and I felt bad for that, we did manage to kill the one ahwanee in the area where there is just one but when it came to the boss (2 of them) I just couldn’t keep it together, sorry Ryan. We did manage to get 2 other players to join for the next one so we did complete it once with 4 and he did get his item that he was after so made up for it a bit.

After that things just got worse as I ran with Cuffy and Jeff and we was doing Exterminator I think, I hate that place and have never really worked it all out, felt like a total noob down there, was following cuffy when I knew we was supposed to split but I never know where to go, always get lost, tried it a second time and it was better but i’m certainly not in my element in greede. I did let people down a bit who I was initially trying to help and I have to aplogise for that.

Other than that it was a lot of fun, I still can’t get over the fact 12 people actually came to my town, I believe once BO came in other players came in because BO was there and I thankyou for popping in BO, makes all the difference. I enjoyed it and I think some even got to get my sense of humor.

P.S. We are adding more info in the forum all the time, regular posters posting a few times a day so if your thinking of joining come on in, it’s a friendly place and full of help. We are still looking for more WKC players to join us ready for when WKC 2 comes out so we go in with people we know and in turn can help others with the posts.

Met plenty of new players again tonight, seems to work well doing a post on the WKC message board and hour before I go into town, think we had 6 or 7 overall and I was only there 2hrs.

Good to see BO again, hated doing take your lumps but it was a request so we did it, that particular quest seems a lot to do just for one gold golem whereas you could just do arena and take either two or three gold golems.

We also ran trials, overall it was another good night, made some people happy which is the point of helping out.

Thanks again BO, appreciate it, hopefully get some more in tomorrow.

Had some fun tonight, BO popped in and caught me in my town and while we was waiting for Death to finish a solo quest Henrietta popped in too so we ran belly of the beast quest, pretty cool.

After BO left another person came in and we ran Monumental treasure and the Windwalker quest, S rank and some decent amount of items got, shame we didn’t have longer as I was starting to enjoy it even though I didn’t need any of the items myself it was just good fun running with some friends who I hadn’t caught up with in a while, thanks guys/girls.
