The Daily Grind - Day Eleven

Afternoon all,
No post yesterday since I did nothing on gaming, spent most of the day working and the rest of the evening with the family and girlfriend. This morning I've been catching up on what I've missed and done a few E3 posts which you probably already seen and read. So what's my plans for today? Resistance 2 marathon of course! and I think tonight the lads from work are doing a COD night so might be on that later. Depends if they do come on!

Ohhh that reminds me before I go on Resistance, I need to pop on Home and check out that White Knight Chronicles area. I was trying to get my PSPGo sorted last night with the welcome back free games but could not see the link in the store. Will do that first then jump on Home, lol so much to do!

Ah found it, the store is working better today and I guess less people are on today. So thinking I'm going to have Modnation Racers and Killzone Liberation, picked inFamous and Dead Nation for the PS3 ones. Hmmm 60 minute download, maybe I should had downloaded it through MediaGo first then transfer it over.

-------------------------------------------------------

Finally updated the MediaGo software after the third attempt and its now downloading Modnations and Killzone for me, also found out I've still got 1 token left on my PSPGo Switch over offer. Going to take a look at what I can get for free, too many too choose from and most are not really what I would go. Think I will question my mates on twitter and see if I can get their opinion.

Anyway time for PlayStation 3 Home!

Well first a mini update is needed, what is with today and updates! oh wait that mini update was the pre-update before the big update. Guess some Internet browsing is in order while I wait.

-------------------------------------------------------

It's still downloading so going to post up some more trailers I found that look amazing. First up Rage, funny thing was I knew nothing about this game until like a week ago when I saw the advertisement at the cinema. Anyway the trailer is all in game footage of a quest to stop a water well from being poisoned by some bandits, check it out below


Looks amazing and reminds me a lot of Fallout,got to say though some of the weapons are sweet. Crossbow type weapon is my favourite so far with the electric crossbow bolts and explosive bolts, ohh and that mind control was pretty sweet as well. Think I will be adding this to the games I want this year

Next up is Dark Souls...


Looks breath taking and the bosses wow, I can start to see why the first one was so hard and starting to think this game will be even worse. But I really want to try it and give it a good shot! Listed as a October release I might pick it up, not sure yet so going to add it to the maybe pile.

Darksiders 2 trailer...


Like I said yesterday and earlier this game will all depend on me finishing the first one and enjoying it, don't want to buy the second one if I hated the first. Although I got to say it does look amazing, why are all the E3 videos looking awesome

Prey 2...


Was disappointed in the first but talk about a 180 change for it's sequel, bounty hunter? lol have to wait and see for some gaming trailers next week to see how it turns out.


Well that's it for the latest trailers I'm interested in and got 3 minutes left on the download, hooray!

-------------------------------------------------------

Got myself the knight suit for my avatar, HOME is pretty good from what I can see and will be checking out the E3 stuff tomorrow when it goes up. Anyway time for Resistance Fall of Man 2

-------------------------------------------------------

Hating the invisible chimera creatures, seven deaths so far! you not beaten me yet.

-------------------------------------------------------

Now a ravager is giving me a hard time, got to say Resistance 2 is a lot harder then the first one but still enjoying it.

Ah great the ravager bugged so got to quit and reload

-------------------------------------------------------

Well it's 4pm and I've stopped for now, going to do some updating on the site, since not updated the challenge stats in a while and I want to add the summer challenge to the site.

Took me nearly an hour but I'm finally done, kinda depressed now and wish I hadn't looked into it lol. Just updated my 2011 progress and realised I've now got a total of 34 games that are 2011 releases and only 9 completed, yeah I know! a lot! really shocked I got that many. Course I set myself a goal to finish the year with 50% completed and I'm on a shocking 26%...*sigh* the only good thing is I've finished 26 games this year at least.

Ohhh just watched the Old Republic trailer for E3 on gamespot.com, really cannot wait for this game! looks awesome, god I hope they announce a launch date finally next week.



Right break is over, time for some more gaming :) thinking Resistance but I am tempted to start up my new rental Batman, got to love that game.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Playing Resistance but sometimes I got to think wtf! why do the normal chimera always charge you? is that bad programming or just the way they meant to be. Anyway just got killed in a theatre, got swarmed by the melee ones had no chance

-------------------------------------------------------

Three ravagers??? overkill much?

Well after 10 minutes of cat and mouse finally got them!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Got to say I'm loving Resistance even with these annoying hard parts, the graphics are a lot better and the game is fecking sweet. Just killed the boss spider on the tower, awesome fight! and now starting chapter 3?? 4? no idea at this point lol

I do feel sorry for the chopper gunners in every cut scene, life span of 10 seconds if you manning that gun, anyway taking a small break to have another cuppa

Right I'm back, time to clear the landing zone!

-------------------------------------------------------------

This level is really peeving me off, two ravagers with shields pop through the door soon as you open it, instant death. Attempt three starting now...

*Sigh* dead again, come on who designed this bit? you really need to play the parts you design, i like a challenge but this is just overboard

...again, attempt five...at this rate I'm just going to turn it off because I'm getting too annoyed with it to enjoy it

hooray did it! soon as the checkpoint loaded i went searching and found a nice rifle with a few grenades, even with that it the last shot was very lucky as I was on the red blood screen and stuck in a corner.

-------------------------------------------------------

ok now some huge swarm that rips you apart, you run away from it yet you cannot out run it??? am i missing something here?

ok got a little father this time, hmmm time for a guide me thinks....ok according to gamespot you need to stop at each turn to shoot the swarm to stun them... *sigh* i know how this will turn out

-------------------------------------------------------

ohhh the story is getting interesting now, apart from the annoying hard parts the game as turned out better then I thought.

second attempt at escorting the doctor since he bugged and let us die, not having much luck in some ways today.

-------------------------------------------------------

hooray swarm is down and I'm guessing another chapter :-D wait no ... titan fight now, oh great two of them, of course! one isn't hard to kill.

Ok where do I hide, there is no place, both titans come from opposite directions blocking escape routes. Right according to gamespot guide fire two rockets at each and few gun shots should finish them off, ok worth a shot.

what the hell!! kill the first titan and die due to the fact those blasted spider leaper bugs appear and overwhelm me.

-------------------------------------------------------

Few! done it, pure bloody luck strikes again, two rockets and 300 bullets from the wraith finished off the first one then mad panic to get rid of the leaper spiders. Luckily the second titan stayed on the opposite side of the rock allowing me time to get ready, two rockets and four grenades finished him off.

-------------------------------------------------------

Ohhh new weapon, the slicer...I'm in love :-D lol

oh dear "contact on the right!" I turn right nothing there? why is everyone shooting left? *sigh*

----------------------------------------------

Currently jumping across car roofs in Chicago which is flooded with chimera infested waters, the graphics are amazing. Wow! what was that ? chimera godzilla in the background lol

-------------------------------------------------------

Right I'm calling it for the day, well with Resistance anyway. Not bad since I'm probably half way through chapter five and according to the Intel list there is only seven chapters. Will finish it off in the week.

Now for some multi player action with the guys from work

----------------------------------------------

Well we played Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, while getting the disc out I broke the outer case (had the steelbook one with that horrible plastic cover that holds the case and artbook in) so that really peeved me off since I like to take care of my things.

Matches went ok but the last two where shotgun spam and grenade spam to the point wasnt enjoying the game, in the end had to quit because we joined a team deathmatch and soon as the lobby loaded there was screams down the microphone. So so far COD MW2 not left it self in a positive light, honestly prefer matches with party chat so don't have to listen to idiots.

Anyway that's it for todays madness and tomorrow post will be all about E3, cannot wait!! so see you all tomorrow and have a good one.
