The Guildmasters

Yes for the last few days i’ve been watching the E3 live convention, the biggest in america for new game releases and console info.

First let me say the new Wii U looks pretty cool, and i’m not a Wii fan but this looks good. The new ‘controller’ has a screen which means you don’t even need a tv, or it just means you can use it just as a controller, but it does so much more than that, too much info to post here so i’ll give in detail more info on the forum.

New games were coming quick and some of the ones we have been really looking forward to wasn’t disappointing at all.

Elder Scrolls Skyrim was about 30 minutes worth of clips and it looked fantastic, by far the best one yet with over 150 dungeons to explore, free roaming dragons and detail beyond belief.

Assassins Creed Revelations again did not disappoint, definitely another one on my list and again to my amazement looks like a big improvement to the last one, didn’t think that was possible.

More games included the new Twisted Metal, Halo 4, yes I did say Halo 4, bet many didn’t expect that one and tons more which I will post more on in the forum.

Also Sony announced the new playstation vita (vee tah) which I believe will eventually replace the PSP although i’m a bit vague on that, I’ll confirm that later but it looks pretty good.

Hi all,
Yes we now have a definite release date for White Knight Chronicles 2. For those that don’t know it’s going to be out 31st August 2011.

This is America release date for sure but it’s my guess it will be about the same time in Europe, give or take a week or two, Europe usually gets the same game within a short period of time so i’m really looking forward to that.

Recently due to the fact I haven’t been able to get online, i’ve got the platinum trophy for my Bioshock 2 which now brings my total to 7 Platinums.

I will try and get some more new releases posted over the next week or so but i’m pretty busy everywhere so i’m finding myself a bit tight on play time.

For anyone who needs help on WKC still i’ll be popping on once or twice a week, probably at weekends and i’ll be in my town to help anyone out that needs it.

Yes I finally threw away the old longsword and took up spear today, tried it out first on big red and i’m impressed overall.

Next test was to run a quest with others so went to my town and quested with Death, Cuffy and Ko Ko and although it was only a GR 9 quest I think i’m going to be happy using spear from now on.

The damage is better for less and sonic javelin is just great for mobs, especially boars and scorps. I have a way to go to get all my spears and equipment but at last i’m at my final weapon.

I would like to thank BO for all his advice on the spear, very helpful indeed which meant I have got the right armor and weapons for the job, not everything but if I hadn’t been pointed in the right direction I would have got confused with all the DEX/VIT/AGI thrust etc…Thanks.

Next test is a GR 12 quest with others to see if I can hold up ok.

Hi all,
Last night was the first night I didn’t get on the WKC so sorry for those who were expecting me and needed some help, should be on tonight. After Platinum and spending most of the day on the forum I just needed an early night.

Forum is coming along nicely, like to take the opportunity to welcome two more new members, both WKC players.

Welcome aboard wildcuffy and a big welcome to BO, we’ve played together on WKC quite a bit but it’s been sporadic, i’ll run a few quests with BO then we won’t meet up for a few weeks then we’ll find each other and run some more, I hope to get together for a few more quests soon BO welcome to the forum.

For those of you just stopping by the blog the forum is eventually going to be the place to be, the blog will be used just as a daily update on what is going on at the forum, a link to the forum is in the right hand column at the top on the blog.

Been adding more info on WKC 2 and WKC for newcomers with some vid links to check out if you want to, pop on over and check it out, see what you think, haven’t been started long and already over 100 posts have been made and 5 members joined all from WKC.

It’s been a bit awkward trying to get to everyone that needs help, i’m not avoiding anyone so please don’t think that, i’m either online when your not or i’m helping someone else at a particular time, if you see me online just send me a message and i’ll try and get to you, i’m not going anywhere for a while so if you can be patient I will help everyone I can.

It’s always a good idea to hang around my town if you want help as that’s where I always start out.

Hi all,
Yes we decided to open up a forum, after a year of blogging it makes sense, especially with so much being posted about one game.

The forum will be easier to access and to keep an eye on your previous posts, much more user friendly and we hope you will find it fresh, interesting and a great place to hang out and get info on games coming out soon.

Also take requests for games your looking for to discuss wether they are out already or just a rumor.

We have also set up a WKC 2 thread ready for when the game hits internationally, this could be a while but hopefully by the time it does come out we will be going into that game with a fair amount of people who know each other.

Well pop over and check it out and let us know what you think, introduce yourself or get involved in a discussion, we are especially looking for players to put their name in the WKC 2 thread ready for when the game comes out. Better to start a game with friends and people you already know don’t you think?

Any of you that have played Fallout, especially Fallout 3 will probably want to play Fallout New Vegas. Personally as with all games I rent first then buy if it keeps my attention long enough.

My collection of PS3 games isn’t that large simply because there wasn’t that many really good games, or more specifically RPG’s. Now it’s different, things are looking up for us RPG fanatics and when I see a new one I write about it. When I see an unusual offer I write about that too.

This is one of those games that is definitely worth a rent, I liked fallout 3 so much I bought it and seeing as New Vegas is going to be in similar format i’ll probably end up buying this one too.

For those who are interested in specific deals on specific games here is an interesting ‘collectors edition’.

When you purchase Fallout New Vegas from Amazon here is what you get in the collectors edition:

* “Lucky 7” poker chips. Each of the seven poker chips was designed to represent chips from the major casinos found on the New Vegas strip and throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
* A fully customized Fallout: New Vegas deck of cards. Each card in the pack has been uniquely illustrated to depict characters and factions found within the game.
* A recreation of the game’s highly coveted “Lucky 38” platinum chip.
* A hardcover graphic novel “All Roads”, that tells the story of some of the characters and events that lead up to Fallout: New Vegas. “All Roads” was written by Chris Avellone and created in conjunction with Dark Horse Comics.
* The Making of Fallout: New Vegas’ DVD. This documentary DVD will contain exclusive video content, including interviews with the developers in which they take you from concept to creation.

You don’t often come across games with decent side stuff so I didn’t think this was a bad buy.

Want to know more about Fallout New Vegas?? Read on:

Welcome to Vegas. New Vegas.
It’s the kind of town where you dig your own grave prior to being shot in the head and left for dead…and that’s before things really get ugly. It’s a town of dreamers and desperados being torn apart by warring factions vying for complete control of this desert oasis. It’s a place where the right kind of person with the right kind of weaponry can really make a name for themselves, and make more than an enemy or two along the way.

As you battle your way across the heat-blasted Mojave Wasteland, the colossal Hoover Dam, and the neon drenched Vegas Strip, you’ll be introduced to a colorful cast of characters, power-hungry factions, special weapons, mutated creatures and much more. Choose sides in the upcoming war or declare “winner takes all” and crown yourself the King of New Vegas in this follow-up to the 2008 videogame of the year, Fallout 3.

Key Features:

# Feel the Heat in New Vegas! Not even nuclear fallout could slow the hustle of Sin City. Explore the vast expanses of the desert wastelands – from small desert towns to the New Vegas strip – and see the Great Southwest as could only be imagined in Fallout.
# Feuding Factions, Colorful Characters and a Host of Hostiles! A war is brewing between rival factions that will change the lives of everyone in New Vegas. The choices you make will bring you into contact with friends and foes, and determine the final explosive outcome of this epic power struggle.
# New Systems! Enjoy new additions such as a Companion Wheel that streamlines communication with companions, a Reputation System that tracks your actions, and the aptlytitled Hardcore Mode. Plus, special melee moves and real-time combat mechanics give you new ways to fight.
# An Arsenal of Shiny New Guns! With double the amount of weapons found in Fallout 3, you’ll have more than enough exciting, new ways to deal with the threats of the wasteland. In addition, a new weapons configuration system that lets you tinker with your toys and see the modifications in real time.
# Let it Ride! In a huge, open world with unlimited options you can see the sights, choose sides, or go it alone. Peacemaker or Hard Case, House Rules or the Wild Card – it’s all in how you play the game.

That’s about it for now, if I ever get away from WKC this will be one of my next encounters along with Assassins Creed The Brotherhood.

Hi all,
Well I opened up my town today and because of a post on the message board so George could find me I had the most players ever in my room/town, there was 5 at one time which for me is 3 more than my previous ‘most’.

It was good to meet up with George at last (Genmei) and I managed to run one quest with DEATH, good to see your in Earth armor now death, sorry we only managed one quest together.

Also met two more players I hadn’t met before so ran a few quests with Toboe and Yuna, sorry couldn’t be of more help but I try to spread myself around a bit to be fair.

Hope to quest with you all again soon, twas a good day, thankyou.

Tony 🙂

For those who use my town at WKC i’ve uploaded a new one, took me 3 hrs but it was well worth it.

There are now 18 level 10 residents in 3 categories, Mages, Miners and Warriors. 3 in each category are the ones that cost 150K so make sure after a quest you talk to the residents, they will give some great stuff. I’ll also be posting what resident gives me what when they give good items so I can keep track of how good it really is.

Have fun.

Tony 🙂

Yes after achieving my GR12 sword, the Witchblade, I decided to try and check out some of the GR 15 armor. Now if your liking this game as much as me and your on your way to GR 15 here is some major advice. Save as much money (guilder) as you can, i’m not talking about a few thousand, I mean a few million if not more.

Yes the ultimate armor sets are extremely expensive, a good example is the set i’m going for, it’s called the Warlord armor, four seperate pieces and just the chest piece and the pants piece costs around 2 million guilder, then you have to upgrade them, but it is worth it. There are some really cool stats on fully upgraded GR 15 armor sets.

I have had many requests for friends and many mails asking for help so people are still coming into WKC which is great. I’ll be writing a post for the newcomer to WKC as it can be a bit wierd at first, I remember being at GR 1 and felt like I could not run any quests and felt intimidated by even GR 3 or 4 players but everyone is great and will help you out and it really does make for a great game.

I recommend getting involved in this game, i’m probably a little too involved, I love the game but it’s going to make for an even greater game when WKC 2 comes out. My prediction is going to be a release date for christmas, that is only my personal opinion but even if it is next year you still have to time to platinum this game, it’s hard but very possible, just takes a huge amount of time.

Tony 🙂
