Let's Talk MKX and DLC characters

So once again Netherrealm studios will grace us with another edition of Mortal Kombat called Mortal Kombat X or MKX. The epic gore fest is back (or will be in April next year) in an all new edition which features some pretty awesome features like their new gameplay and the option of choosing fighting styles before a fight. The game takes place in a span of 25 years, starting from where Mortal Kombat 9 finished.

As usual, one thing has got the fans in 6s and 7s, The Roster. The dynamic duo, Scorpion and Sub-Zero will obviously be there, Raiden, Kano and Goro(?) have been confirmed as well. There have also been new inclusions such as Ferra & Torr, Cassie Cage, that insect bitch and Kotal Khan. While this is undoubtedly good news, some fans are split over the decision and are still wishing old classics like Fujin, Reiko, Jarek (Lol), Tanya, Lei Mei and so on would be added to the roster.
"I am bad ass"
In as much as it is important that the world of Mortal Kombat must be expanded upon, I still feel that some characters were dumped so unfairly that we didn't get the chance to see them live up to their potential...and X Rays. One prime example is Fujin. If for some reason Ed Boon decides that he wants to add a character who was long forgotten, I feel Fujin must be first in line. Fujin had some of the coolest moves ever seen in Mk, the tornado thingy, the wind thingy and other Cyclone wind 'thingys'. I also felt that Taven kicking his ass in Armageddon was uncalled for, that's just me though. Another character that should be considered is Reiko, mostly because he was like a reincarnation of Shao Khan, it would be cool if he started his own Brotherhood of Shadow army to rebel against Khans forces because he wants to take over Khans throne, or some random sh*t like that.

Now for DLC characters.

Gaming forums have been going wild over who players want to see in the next MK game, especially after discovering that Freddy Krueger would be fitted into the story somehow [insert Dream realm reference here] in the previous installment. Suggestions have gone from Predator to Jason Vorhees to Rorsach? To Master Chief to even Bugs Bunny for some weird reason. Ed really has a plethora of options here you know.
After Sony decided to incorporate the legendary god of war, Kratos, into MK9, Microsoft fan boys have been raging over the possibility of having John 117 in the Xbone version of it. While it does sound pretty exciting to have the chief in mortal kombat, I don't really think the Chiefs profile fits into Mortal Kombats brute and Gore style, perhaps Marcus Fenix would be more comfortable in these situations?
Predator is an interesting one because I feel he would fit the kombat perfect and no not because Cyber Sub Zero did look like him or anything, but if there's a chance he was included, I'm sure his moves would be quite similar, Suicide explosive fatality anyone?

Then comes the curious case of Jason Vorhees. The main reason he was suggested is because Freddy was included and because he's freaking Jason. Think about it? Jason Vorhees kicking Lui kangs ass  while stubbing Johnny Cage with his epic sword? Not bad huh? Voorhees is also the most probable of the lot. It was even reported that he was considered for Mortal Kombat 9 instead of Freddy, and it’s rumored that NetherRealm actually built a full model for of him.

Characters I want to return?
Smoke, Cyrax, Ermac, Sektor, Jade, Mileena, Bo Rai Cho, Shinnok, Reiko, Fujin, kameleon. Atleast half of  please. these

PES 14: Step in the right direction?

Another year, another pes, but this time with an entirely different engine. Many PES fans were anticipating what this new installment of the widely criticized football franchise was going to bring to the plate. But just what exactly did it bring? Is it going in the right direction?

First of all, let's start with gameplay. Pro evolution's gameplay is great, just great. The players movements have been greatly worked on and the ball physics seems more legit than it did in the previous games. However, I just like to point out that the A.I response is very disappointing. I can't stand how retarded players look sometimes when the ball reaches near them and they just stand there like that's not the ball they expected to see. I like the whole jostling thing though, it feels great getting your shirt pulled by another player as it is done in the real game.

Let's go to graphics. Firstly, the menu sucks as always. Why don't Konami focus on presentation first?? I've seen Atari games with better menus than Pes 14. Most players look really realistic, however when I say 'most' I mean like 170 out of a possible 9000 players, Raphael looks like a zebra, Torres looks like a Teen girl who loves Twilight and listens to One Direction and Wayne Rooney is....well Wayne Rooney. The fans in the stadium are surprisingly good but the ambience sucks, like big time. The football jerseys not being attached to the players was a good idea, only problem is they flap around too much, especially on the unlicensed teams and De Gea.

Commentary is as usual, Pes like. Are Jim Begin and Jon Champion the cheapest commentators around or what? There's no other reason I could think of for Pes to stick with them for like 4 years or so. They only have like 100 words to say and the reaction they give when you score a goal is similar to my reaction when I 1st played Singularity.

New game modes? You wish. The master league isn't as good as it was, Become legend is fun but not as fun as it was in 12, league mode returns and blah blah blah.

Despite a this, (and the fact that the games feels unfinished) PES 2014 is a really fun game to play, just make sure to get patches or data packs, because they improve the games greatly. I think it's a step in the right direction and definitely looks promising mainly due to the fact that they're now focusing on what happens on the pitch and not what celebration Ronaldo did against AC Milan. Errors are expected in this game but that's mainly due to switching to a new more advanced engine which is more powerful than this game makes it seem. All Konami need to do is fire the guy in charge of the GUI, get new commentators, hire more artists for player faces and try to do stuff on time. Seriously, the game is realised after a year, what do they do all this time?? It definitely won't challenge FIFA unfortunately but still has potential to gain some new fans.

This is my opinion, Take my Feel.

Far Cry 3 : My Review

I just had to do a review of this game because it's so damn awesome!

Far cry 3, Where do I start? I had been playing this game for about 5 days straight without proper sleep and I don't regret it. It's an amazing game with a storyline that gets you deep into the main character: Jason Brody. How a simple trip to an exotic island turned into a blood bath with pirates and drug lords is what really makes far cry far cry. Aside from that the ability to free roam and discover great things on the island(Like how you can kill a shark with you bare hands apparently) The game also offers some cool upgrade features and things to buy which really extends this games life span.

Firstly you and your friends decided you go to some island to have a great time and all(Which none of you even thought about researching on) and that fun gets cut short by the infamous Vaas Montenegro who then captures your friends and kills your brother. It's that moment when the game kicks in and you discover you're really good with weapons despite never handling one ever in your life. Great acting, amazing graphics and insane fun make this game a definite Game to play. You'l find yourself being chased by Pirates to been eaten up by crocodiles, Tigers and even rabid dogs to riding a jetski to skinning animals! It's that diverse and that's where this game beats many.

However ofcourse not everything can be perfect in life so this is the part where i list what I thought where the games main pros and cons.

Pros:
-Great storyline and acting to go along with it.
-Characters had some emotions attached to them(You could feel what they were feeling)
-The island is beautiful, that's a plus.
-Plenty of things to do in the game so you never get bored
-So many things to discover, and very unpredictable animals, which is great!
-Weapon upgrades were fun
-I played poker

Cons:
-Missions get repitive
-Activating Radio Towers was so annoying
-Nothing special about Multiplayer, just the normal mainstream stuff
-A few strange glitches here and there.

That's just my opinion though, other people may find the multiplayer great or the radio towers very fun. There are some flaws in the game just like every other game out there that make you wonder what sort of logic is being applied, Here are the flaws I found, Maybe you can answer them:(Warning Spoilers! If you haven't played the game Stop reading NOW)

-Jason had a cellphone but never called anyone like the police maybe?
-All those boats on the island and he still let his friends fix that abandoned boat.
-How does pulling your finger restore your health?
-Why did Citra have sex with Jason infront of the whole tribe?
-Plants make plastic syringes?
-Shooting a goat with like 20 bullets kills it. I thought 2 were enough?
[Add more]

That's me though, this is officially one of my favourite games of all time (No lie). I give it a 9.8/10 Because nothing on earth deserves a perfect 10 ;-)

My Review on Pro Evolution Soccer 2013

PES 13 is the latest installment in the pro evolution soccer(Or Pro Evo) series which sees the game go back to what it was known for, What happens on the football pitch..along with some new great improvements which have seen the game go from been ridiculed for taking a step back last year to being back to almost the PES we know and loved.

Firstly i must admit that i became a PES fan after playing PES06 (I had been a stounge fifa boy before that), but PES at that time felt different, unique..& awesome, I loved it! but when PES09 came out my God what a dissapointment that was, it felt like being dumped by your 2nd girlfriend after believing that the relationship would go on for a long time. Things just went bad for PES after that..with 12 being significant. But alas hope arose, PES 13 is by far the Best PES i've ever played, the gameplay has been revamped, New types of shots, player graphics awesome as usual, goal keepers Retardedness levels aren't as ridiculous as they were before, new features like Nutmegging, player IDs & professional dribbling (Not that fifa thing of just rotating the right analog stick & Boom! Marseille roulette) but actual dribbling that might ACTUALLY happen in a real game, lets face it..even Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't do those fifa street like dribbles in real life(reference to fifa).

So after playing the game here are my Pros and Cons;

PROs:
- Awesome player graphics.
- The player ID thing was an amazing idea.
- Finese shots feel okay (Strange at times)
- It's somewhat not as easy to score from 30yards out as it was before
- Goal keepers seem more intelligent (despite a few moments of Epic retardness)
- The Master League & become a legend are still cool.
- The crowd ambiance is also great too.
- The AI is now slightly more intelligent
- Performance training is great but feels too short.

CONS:
- Only 13tracks in the game most of which are from old games like Contra, few of them are good.
- Jon Champion and Jim Beglin are still terrible.
- A few things were removed from the become a legend mode (like the photo gallery, which in my opinion was amazing).
- The running is cool but feels abit Robotic
- The licensing is too terrible (Netherlands with generic names?? Zambia the African champions with generic names?? Etc)
- The interface was abit lame compared to 12.
- Some moments in the game were players seem to not notice what the hell is going on.
- Keeper animations still unrealistic.
- Ronaldo is a superhuman.
- Players have no tackling Attribute?? WTF?

Despite all my positivity about the game, it still lacks ALOT! And hopefullt PES14 with a new game engine will be a whole lot better.
