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.

Ok here are the last sets of GR 12 armor and these by far are the most expensive and most difficult to obtain, some armor requires items from specific quests but are worth it in the end.
I will try and give enhanced stats where I can but even I haven’t got all this armor and the armor that I have got isn’t all the way upgraded. I would consider the two best sets in the game are the Gratos set and the Knightlord Set although I am still trying to acquire the full set of Warlord Set which is also awesome.

8. Hellion Set

Hellion Mail (armor) DEF 65 resists Sleep/Silence Hellion Fists (arm gear) DEF 56 resists Sleep/Silence Hellion Trousers (leg gear) DEF 57 resists Poison/Silence and Hellion Boots (foot gear) DEF 57 resists Poison/Silence

9. Shadow Set

This was my favorite set of armor, it just looks really cool and it went with my character, I never did manage to get the Gauntlets though.

Shadow Armor (armor) DEF 74 resists Poison/Silence Shadow Gauntlets (arm gear) DEF 68 resists Paralysis/Sleep Shadow Cuisses (leg gear) DEF 65 resists Sleep/Silence and Shadow Sollerets (foot gear) DEF 66 resists Poison/Paralysis

The stats on the Shadow armor that I do have are as follows:

Shadow Armor+9 = DEF 83 HP 96 MP+9 INT 26 don’t forget these stats will double at +10 Shadow Cuissess+10 = DEF 75 HP 152 MP 12 SPR 52 Nice chunk of extra HP there. Shadow Sollerets +10 DEF 76 HP 152 STR 54 DEX 44 Now that is some really nice stats for just one piece of armor, a really cool set if you can max it all out.

10. Hero’s Set

Hero’s Plate (armor) DEF 62 with water attribute added +3 resists Sleep Hero’s Gauntlets (arm gear) DEF 53 with wind attribute added of +3 resists Silence Hero’s Breeches (leg gear) DEF 53 with water attribute added of +3 resists Poison and Hero’s Boots (foot gear) DEF 54 with Fire attribute added of +3 resists Paralysis. I don’t have any of this set so can’t say what the end stats will be like but it looks like a good set from the starting stats, probably going to be fairly even all round at +10

11. Warlock Set

Warlock Raiment (armor) DEF 42 RES 20 resists Silence Warlock Gloves (arm gear) DEF 39 RES 18 resists Sleep/Silence Warlock Legging (leg gear) DEF 39 RES 18 resists Paralysis/Silence and Warlock Boots (foot gear) DEF 39 RES 18 resists Poison/Paralysis. This set is extremely good on the starting stats alone. I might just go for maxing this set to find out what the +10 stats will be, i’ve got a feeling this will be a very good set to have in your inventory, I do have the whole set but haven’t upgraded any of it yet but will post the results when I get it to +10

I have another 9 more GR 12 sets to list so i’ll put those in another post or this one will be too long so keep an eye out for those later today, the best is yet to come.

Yes it’s been pretty cool since turning Guild Rank 13, much better items in the general store now thanks to having more room in my town and getting better stats.

I’m going for all of the Shadow armor set which has been difficult up to now but with the opening of another 4 quests two of which actually give drops needed for some of the armor. Still need some rare items to create a better sword but until then i’m stuck with the Devilbringer sword which has been good but it’s a bit worn now if you know what I mean, everyone else at GR13 is going around with Demon blade or Witchblade.

It’s the Witchblade i’m eventually after as it happens to be the best Katana in the game with a starting attack of 182 which is pretty awesome, enhance that baby 10 times and you’ve really got yourself a weapon.

Before I get to the Witchblade i’ve got to get other swords first to combine them to make better swords and eventually get to the Witchblade.

I can’t believe how this game has completely taken over from all other games that I should be playing, I really haven’t touched another game since starting white knight chronicles, it’s so addictive in a good way. Happy questing:)
