The Guildmasters

Hi all,

Yes got myself to GR 17 last night, taking a lot longer than I wanted to but moving up a guild rank once a day isn’t too bad. Done a few quests that were way out of my league but thanks to the guys who ran them with me I didn’t die and got a ton of materials that were worth a fair bit.

This meant that I could donate more items to the frog and get that rank up to 16, which in turn means more items for me to bind in the shop. Now i’m running round with a level 65 weapon instead of a level 45 weapon, makes all the difference.

Looking forward to the event this weekend at the guild as it’s for helping members get their GR up, which is exactly what i’m looking to do.

I’m working on taking some video of some of the quests so that will be fun, I started to do that on WKC 1 but at that time is was a lengthy process and I gave up, think I actually got one video on you tube, hopefully this time i’ll be able to get more up there.

More updates over the weekend.

Wow,
I’ve never really bothered checking before but today I was running Best Served Cold 3 (big red) and before entering the quest I caught a glimpse of the stats, you know it says ‘Best Grade’ ‘Times Completed’ ‘Fastest Time’ etc..Well I noticed that ‘Times Completed’ was 1000, it’s now 1002, lol.

That is ridiculous, it doesn’t feel like i’ve ran that quest that much. It’s not as though i’ve run that over a couple of weeks but still it has to be the most times i’ve ever completed any kind of quest online or offline on any game, wow.

If only I had saved the items and cash from those quests I would have had the 10 mill trophy months ago. Incidentally although i’ve ran this quest so many times it has been since I was GR 11 so it’s not as bad as it sounds (yes it is). I’ve been playing this game now for about 6 months and I must admit i’ve probably played on it every day, now that sounds bad but i’m including days I only go on it for an hour but i’ve always managed to play some every day, apart from 3 I think.

Although there are and have been better games out there this one has to be one of top in terms of hours you can put in to get the platinum trophy. There are games which are harder to obtain the platinum, this one is hard in terms of time, there is no quick way even though some have got platinum at GR 12 or 13 we are still looking at racking up a minimum 1000hrs.

My hours played are registered at around 1800 but that is not entirely true as at times I just leave it on all night even though i’m not playing, plus it’s left on when i’m charging the controller. Having said that I bet my actual game play is well over the 1,000hrs.

I know there are many more players who have clocked up even more than me, I was just dumbstruck when I realised I had ran big red that many times.

How many times have you ran big red? 1, 2 or 3??

Hi again,
Time really gets away with me, been a while since my last post and that wasn’t my intention but with Christmas being such a hectic time of the year I just haven’t had the chance.

I will be posting some more new games over the coming days which are due for release in January and also give you all a heads up on new releases coming after that.

I haven’t had much time for playing much over Christmas although I did get to play a few hours on Madden NFL 10, it’s not my kind of game but if your a sports fan this game is probably as realistic as it gets.

I was talked into playing it with my son Eric who absolutely loves the game, there are loads of features in this game of american football, I just wish I could understand the game, especially the rules, it was good fun to play along with one of my boys though.

You can buy and sell players, upgrade them as you work your way through the leagues, there are mini challenges which can earn you extra points or players etc..

With me being a strictly RPG gamer it’s hard for me to give a sports game any credit at all so if I had fun playing this game then a sports fan would almost definitely want this one in their collection.

Well i’ll wish you all a happy new year and look forward to posting much more in the days and weeks to come. I will be frequenting PS Home as usual if anyone wants to pop over and have a game of poker so I will see you there.

Well Assassins Creed 2 arrived in the mail today and i’ve been playing it for about 3 hrs. It would be hard not to call this game awesome, cool and all the other great words that come to mind when discovering a new game that doesn’t let you down.

After only 3hrs this game is way beyond expectations, there is so much to do, the story is unbelievable and it’s an enjoyment to play at every turn.

For the first two hours I didn’t even have a weapon but it didn’t give me that feeling of “where the hell is my weapons”, there is so much to do and explore, and just when you think you’ve got most of the moves down it gives you something new to learn.

The graphics are excellent and it’s as close as it gets to playing like a movie.

So far i’ve learnt to steal, to blend in with a crowd to avoid detection by guards, and i’ve just had my dad’s glove and dagger repaired by my friend leonardo.

It seems i’ve now taken on my fathers role of an assassin since he was betrayed, carted off to prison and hanged, yes I witnessed the hanging which is why the guards are now after me, it’s so cool.

To distract you can throw coins on the floor, there are many different moves when fighting, I like the idea of grabbing an enemy and being able to throw him in the line of fire.

You can swim, dive, steal, upgrade weapons, there looks like there are plenty of unlockables, you can easily scale walls and the scenery at the top of some of the highest buildings is very cool, then after a look around dive off and land in a cart load of hay.

I’m thoroughly enjoying this game and i’m going to take my time, I want to find all the hidden treasures so i’ll go on a bit over the next week or so, it really is amazing, if you can’t afford to buy this game at least definitely rent it, i’ll definitely pay the keep price for this one.

Will post more tomorrow night as I progress through the game.
