Start of things to come

Morning folks,
I know the last month as been a little quiet on my side but I've been busy with work and of course gaming. Anyway to change all that starting this month I'm working on updating/changing the blog to have a well sort of fresh start. Already you should notice that several page links at the top are missing which have been deleted since I felt they was not needed, over the next two weeks I will be changing a few more things and probably get rid of some more stuff as well.

Not sure if they overall layout will change yet since I did take a look at some new design templates which looked awesome but I felt they was hard to navigate. We will see anyway as I play about over the next few weeks. So I thought it would be a good time to give you guys an update anyway since there is a lot to talk about. First up I finish the Grand Theft Auto V storyline the other day, a very good game in the end although there was a few disappoints that I really wanted to see. Still it was amazing and I would give it a solid 8/9 if I was to review it, don't think it deserved the 10's I keep seeing though. Looking forward to playing the multiplayer now but going to hang off a few days to allow the teething problems to be sorted first. Hearing huge connection problems, disconnects and loading, plus missing cars which is always good.

Also I'm gutted because the main thing I bought this game for was multiplayer to play some heists with friends, first they delay the multiplayer and now the heists are not in the game and will be patched in "later" with no date. So much for the huge bank robbery with your mates, had it all planned out to the T.

GTA aside I have done some more in Pokemon Black 2 and all I have left is to beat the elite four which should then complete the story campaign, need to get that done this week so I'm ready for Pokemon X/Y. Re-started Diablo 3 again and I mean I've picked up where I left off the other week, in fact I defeated another boss last night which completed Act 2 so I would say I'm at least half-way through. Trying to get this done over the next week since I'm going to trade it in for Beyond Two Souls. Yes originally I was not going to pick up Beyond but I played the demo and walked away stunned with how amazing the game is. In fact check out this link to IGN which shows two videos for the same part of the demo (part of what I played), things can happen differently depending on how you played it. So yeah one more game to pick up this month now thanks to that demo, really cannot wait actually to sit down with it.

Right I'm going to have to shoot since I need to go get myself sorted ready for work but expect some more posts over the next few days while I get back into the swing of things Also keep your eyes open on the blog for some new updated changes as well.

Overload

Good morning readers,
What a week it as been for me and I bet you guys have been busy as well, in fact I bet a lot of you will be playing Grand Theft Auto right now. Yes I picked it up on the day and so far only put in around an hour but I am enjoying it, bit shocked in some ways since the last one really did not appeal to me when I tried it. Looking forward to the multiplayer more though since I want to work with some friends to do all the heists, was a bit annoyed with that being locked for two weeks but oh well least I can try out the controls in the singleplayer campaign.

Nothing really to report this week with games being clocked or anything since I'm still working on them. I did promise myself I would work on Diablo 3 but not had chance so far to be honest, mostly since I could not stop playing Payday 2 over the weekend. Such an amazing game and yes it can get repetitive but it's a lot of fun, in fact I was having a co-op day on the first Payday just last Sunday. Completed all but one mission out of the full list (minus the DLC since not got that yet) since it was extremely hard, never had so much trouble with a level before, but oh well it was a laugh anyway.

So yeah nothing to report but I will report that a lot of my collection was gutted last week, PS4 fund is growing and I really do need to sit down to work out what I want on the launch day. Do I just get one game or two, if so which ones and what accessories will I be wanting.

Speaking of saving and spending, I forgot I had pre-ordered Kingdom Hearts with shopto.net. Such a rookie mistake I know and especially since I was going to just wait for it but yeah it arrived mid-week to my surprise. Had a little go but the start was so boring with the tutorial but I think it's just picking up now finally, won't get to play it too much now though since I will be focusing on Diablo 3 and GTA. Once I've clocked those two I will go back to it ASAP along with Splinter Cell since I really do not want to let my pile of shame regrow again.

Not sure what else to write about now since I think I have covered everything, so before I go I will leave you with this very cool multiplayer trailer for Battlefield 4. How amazing does this look? the flooded level and snow landscape are my favourite two so far.

The Great Clean Up

Morning folks,
Up early since I'm currently having a clean up with my pile of shame. Yesterday I decided enough was enough, I've still got quite a few games in my collection after all the trade-in's over the last year but I still got plenty that are not being played. I love my RPG's and I have tons sitting on shelf, some still sealed from over two years ago. My excuse being I will play them soon and that they would be hard to get again if I trade them in.

Well enough! there is plenty coming out that I really want and I can honestly most of the games I would not play this side of Christmas. Some even I cannot see myself playing after Christmas into 2014, so I'm going through the pile and pulling them out for trade in. Wondering how I'm deciding what to keep? well my most favourite games will be staying, my all time favourite stuff like Halo, Gears and Assassin's etc. Some stuff won't be worth trading in like the £1 and £2 so they will be kept on the side, once I've played them then I might trade them in.

But yeah anyway I'm working on it and all the funds raised will go to the next-generation console, right now my sights is set on the PlayStation 4. If I can raise enough funds then it be games next and maybe if I really do good (doubt it, highly doubt it) I would love to get the Xbox One as well. So yes folks over the next few days I will be busy tiding up and working on to reset my collection. It's not all cleaning though I am playing some great games as well.

First up I'm still working on Diablo 3 although I've not touched in the last few days due to other interests. I will be correcting that today since I really want to put some time into it and get it clocked, might even trade it in after I finish the story. Don't see myself being in the mood to work on the Platinum for a while, especially with so much coming out. That's my first game I'm playing and the second believe it or not is Payday 2. The other night I was watching some "Let's play" youtube videos and got to watch the game in action, it looked awesome.

I tried out Payday the Heist due to getting it free with PlayStation Plus and after two missions I was hooked. Picked up Payday 2 yesterday due to the massive improvements I saw in the video and yesterday I did three quick missions with the A.I. It was brilliant although I did make a rookie mistake during a deposit box robbery, shot the camera outside the bank setting the alarms off before even getting inside the place. Place was swarming with the Police before I had even setup the drill, lesson learnt be more careful!.

So that is my games I'm currently playing right now but I have got several I want to pick up, in fact next GTA 5 is out and it's on my radar now. I like the idea of setting heists and stuff so watching some more videos I want it, plus the idea of the huge multiplayer crew to help just made the deal a lot better. So next week I will be picking up that and I expect my time will be taken up by it, in fact I probably really give Diablo 3 a huge blast this weekend in attempt to try and get it completed it in time.

Busy busy anyway, plenty to play and plenty to tidy up so on this note I'm going to head off and continue with gathering my trade-ins together. Have a good one folks and thanks for reading my nonense!
