27th of March, 2018- Dead Rising 3 Review

*Image gotten from wikipedia

Hello, and today I am going to do a review on Dead Rising three. Keep in mind this is a Rated M game, so anybody who is not legally over the age of seventeen (In the US at least, I do not have a clue for other countries age restrictions) shouldn’t play this. I do have to say, this game has a special place in my heart, as this was my first rated M game that I purchased as a seventeen year old, around two weeks ago. Ah, the joys of being 17. I can now waltz right into rated R movies (Purchasing a ticket of course), and N-17 movies. I can also get M games. I did gloss over I turned 17 a while back, so now I almost have free reign. I just have to wait a year then here I come Ao. Not that I would actually play an Ao game. I am getting off topic so here I go.

Dead Rising three is a Survival shooter game where you play as Nick Ramos, a young mechanic who is a survivor to the zombie apocalypse. Unlike previous games in the series (Or so I am told) you have a lax time limit to do different missions in the story. You can decide to do classic difficulty from the get go in nightmare mode, so if you have nerves of steel you can be a maniac if this is your first dead rising game. In this game the ultimate goal is to escape los Peridos in this hack and slash title. Before I even go to different mechanics and pros and cons, I do have to say with what I have experienced so far, I would give this game a 9.5 out of 10. I have experienced little to no problems on my part. There sadly is no major glitches (using sadly loosely), and this is an extremely well made game. There is no BS mechanics I have presently found. If I found a problem it was quickly resolved with this game, as it was me being an idiot. Now on to individualities.

Soundtrack- Honestly I can’t say much about the soundtrack. I was too immersed in gameplay to even notice it. Something similar to the sound track, the voice actors. I found the voice actors perfect for this game. In all honesty, if someone has an annoying voice it can ruin something easily. Even monotone voice is better than high pitched or annoying for me, and I hate monotone voices. I won’t really rate the soundtrack because it doesn’t matter, I get too caught up in the game to care about the sounds, with the exceptions of cutscenes.

Gameplay (10/10)- To me, this game has solid gameplay. I would even say it is way too solid, as I can ignore my surroundings with ho fun it is. You can drive around, craft weapons, hack and slash, run over masses of zombies, ignore the story or play the game to its fullest. There is something for everybody out there in this game (except for anyone under the age of 17)

Story (9 out of 10)- I actually really liked the plot on this game. At one point I went say what. Mostly because I have some background knowledge of the Dead Rising series. I liked how the different bosses have stories. I was skeptical with some on the contrary. Honestly there should of been a secret ending for beating all of the seven sin bosses. That really is my only qualm, how all you get was a shiny weapon and/or vehicle. Shame on me for being slightly biased, but the plot other than that is amazing. I should just change that to a decimal, but it would be a hassle to do extremely complex math.

In all honesty, for my first dead rising game that I played and didn’t watch someone else play, I really liked this game. I liked the nod off to Frank from the first game by all the statues. Like before, I give this game a 9.5 out of 10. That is all for now-

Jan 5th 2018- Battletoads

*Image is original artwork (also pulled from gamestop.com)
Hello, and today I am doing a review on Battletoads. You may be wondering hey, why the HUGE delay. I honestly forgot where I put my laptop in my room. Come when school starts up again I’ll probably find it in my locker or satchel. So you also now may be wondering what is he doing this on. My phone. So sorry if quality is bad. (*Post edit, halfway through I found my laptop.)

Battletoads is an old game by rare in which you play as Rash or Zit. It’s a old beat em up that is easily a classic. I recently beat it last week, and holy cow is it tough. But it is fun.

If you ask any 80’s through early 2000 kid about a beat ’em up, most will think about Battletoads. It has good graphics (For its time) and very solid gameplay. It is a very fun game, but, however there is a major bug that makes this game hard to beat completely (so I would recommend the Rare Replay version, as it fixes the bug and makes this game immensely easier) but still playable to the end (Keyterm end if playing non Rare Replay). This games gameplay is solid, and the music is addicting (a little too addicting, I got it stuck in my head) . This game is overall a pretty good game, so I would recommend this to everyone, but I wouldn’t recommend a completionist play through, but a beat it play through. Overall I would give this game a 3.5 out of 5. That’s all for now-

Punch out NES tips- April 21st, 2017

This game is recommended to veteran gamer’s, but anyone can enjoy it. It is a little hard, and it took me a year to beat. Please don’t blame me if you rage out, I am innocent. It is fun nevertheless though. Beginner gamer’s might  give up on gaming if they play that, but I highly doubt it. It would be funny to see though. But you shouldn’t give up if you play this and it’s too hard.

Today I am going to give tips on how to beat some of the characters from Punch Out.

Glass Joe – Punch him, with an uppercut right before he hits to give him a star punch. You can also punch him when his arms are lowered, but you attack normally.

Von Kaiser – When he is about to punch he turns yellow, so punch him in the gut to receive a star. Not very easy though, so one should try either blocking his punch or dodging then uppercut wail on him, but if you have a star, after uppercutting star punch him.

Piston Honda – Whenever he raises his eye brows, punch him to get a star.  Whenever he is about to punch, with a funny look on his face, uppercut him. After he uppercuts you, star punch him.

Don Flamenco – Punch him, dodge his attacks, and then punch to the rhythm of the noise made when you hit him.

King Hippo – He attacks when he opens his mouth, so uppercut him before he punches, and when he bandages appear on his stomach, punch him there.

Great Tiger – When his gem glows, uppercut him to get a star. When he leans, punch in the same direction to get a star. When he does his special move, the magic punches, block each punch until you see his face all confused and dizzy; then do an uppercut to knock him out.

Bald Bill – He shuffles his fists, RIGHT BEFORE he punches, so uppercut him then, this should get you a star. If you punch anytime before he punches, you should get a star regardless. When he goes all the way back hit him. When he comes to you to knock him out.

Piston Honda 2 – He is about to piston punch you, when he raises his eyebrows, so uppercut him. Same as before, but in the second round, after he tries to uppercut you, when you uppercut him then star punch him, for some strange reason it’s counts as an instant KO.

Soda Popinski – Dodge his punches, then uppercut straight afterwards. Block whenever he crouches, he’ll wait, and punch him to get a star. Star punches are instant KOs from the sheer difficulty to actually get one, you’ll get the opportunity to do it after he punches and you dodge, you also have to uppercut twice.

Bald Bill 2 – Same as before, but he will now taunt you with a duck and raise, just punch when he ducks and uppercut whens he is up. Also only when he lounges at you Upper cut  use or star punches to knock him out.

Don Flamenco 2 – When he chenches his left arm, upper cut him, dodge, and wail on him. When he is about to uppercut you, uppercut him for a star. When he is about to punch you in the face punch him in the gut for a star

Sandman – when he shuffles his fists, dodge and Uppercut. When he does the Uppercut (1 in a row) dodge, uppercut, then punch repetitively. When he does the three in a row uppercut, dodge left left right, then uppercut him, then punch repetitively

Super Macho Man- Dodge his attacks then Uppercut repetitively. When he swings around dodge down (do this by double tapping down) repetitively (as many times as he spins) when he shows his back uppercut

Mr. Dream- He is completely randomized. Look at his eyebrows for when he is about to punch, dodge, and Uppercut.
