Looking Forward

Evening folks,

After writing the earlier post about last week I thought it be a good idea to do a post about my thoughts for the upcoming week. It’s going to be a very busy week for non-gaming since I’m heading off on holiday at the end of the week and I got a trip to the Microsoft HQ mid-week there is plenty to do.

Gaming for this week though is huge! It’s the week to start off the end of year releases for me. Starting on Tuesday sees the release of Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition on the consoles. Picking this up on the PlayStation 4 so I can play with the Shadow of Colossus armour and the Last of Us dungeon. Really looking forward to playing Reaper of Souls content since I’ve not had chance to touch it on the PC yet. Going to transfer my save over from the PS3 so I can jump straight into the expansion on the PS4.

So yeah that’s the first game to start off my end of year releases although the next one will not be coming out until September (probably Destiny first). Although I did just find out Swords Art Online for the Vita is releasing this week. I completely forgot this was coming out since the last I heard it was meant to hit the marketplace back in July. Not sure about this game fully yet since I’ve not had time to the watch anime TV show but the concept sounds amazing. Will have to wait and see what the price is for the game, probably have to wait until after my holiday to pick it up.

So that’s it for releases this week but I do need to start working on some gaming though, not sure where I will fit it in though with the less free time this week. Oh wow I just remember there is one more thing releasing this week! The next expansion for Star Wars Old Republic hits on Tuesday as well. Wow I’m really shocked I forgot the early access starts this week because I was subscribed. This expansion introduces strongholds so player houses/bases basically which will be awesome to store all the cool loot. Player housing in Star Wars Galaxies was one of my favourite things for that game so I have high expectations for it in SWTOR.

So this game along with World of Warcraft is on my list to start replaying again since I’ve recently not been giving it the time of day it deserves, plus I’m wasting timecards which is never a good thing.

It’s going to be a busy week with everything I want to play and should be playing. Warcraft, SWTOR, Diablo and so on, need to get some games completed before the big October rush hits. 

How about you folks? Got plenty to play? Or have you been keeping on top of you gaming pile? On that note I’m going to head off and play some games.

Night folks,

Last Week

Morning folks,

It’s been a while since I’ve really last posted on here but the last few months have been chaos for me. It was coming to the point getting spare time to write out a blog post was becoming impossible. It’s even made it a struggle to get game time in the last few weeks as well. 

Anyway good news I will try harder to at least get one post done each week to keep you folks up to date, plus I really do enjoy talking about games here.

So I’m not sure what to cover in this post or where to start since there has been a ton of new announcements since the last time we spoke. In the end I’ve decided to focus on what my thoughts have been this week concerning my gaming life and go from there.

Of course this week is all about GAMESCON which has pretty much all I’ve been talking about this week with the new announcements. Started off with the Tomb Raider 2 announcement about it being exclusive to the Xbox next holiday season. That really shocked me and I was floored by the news, of course with the wording “holiday exclusive” it was crystal clear that it was a timed exclusive but still shocking. Keep hearing Crystal Dynamics was scared of Uncharted being released so it does make sense to target the Xbox market while Uncharted comes out then do a second release later on for the PlayStation fans.

Also on that day another item was added to my buy list and that was the amazing limited edition Xbox One console in Call of Duty Advanced Warfare theme. I love the three colour scheme with the gold trim and to be honest it doesn’t really look like a Call of Duty theme which is probably why I like it so much. Plus the added bonus of a 1TB hard drive is a must since I found out the day that my Xbox One hard drive is at 41% full. I’ve barely got anything on it and with so many games coming out in the next few months I think I will need the upgrade.

I’ve put the order down anyway and I can decide closer to the date if I need to cancel but right now I want to upgrade. After Tomb Raider and the Xbox One the last thing on my mind this week was the World of Warcraft announcement. Think every fan has been awaiting for the announcement for the release date and finally on Thursday we had it. 13^th November we will see the release of Warlords of Draenor along with the awesome looking cinematic trailer for the expansion.

All through the video I was shouting “you cannot do that”, so many questions to be answers and could we be seeing a full alternate timeline to play around with. Blizzard could go full force with this and bring the Burning Legion into it in the next expansion, messing around with time opens up so much stuff to play with for the future expansions I just cannot wait to see what happens.

Shortly after announcing all this the physical collector’s edition was put up finally after months of waiting, everyone knew it was coming but of course we had to wait. Although we did have to wait nearly a day to confirm that collector’s box matches the rest in the series. Check it out below but I will be picking this up on day of launch.

That’s it for me today folks so have a good one folks,
