I doubt if anyone reads this blog (yet!), but if you do leave comments or hit the follow button. I tend to get lazy when I don't have anyone to update for.... motivate me dammit! Why am I writing this again? Oh yeah I got a extra code for Modnation for something called the Air Raid, so I decided might as well give it away seeing that I doubt I'm gonna be able to get Modnation anyway (damn my lack of money).
And if you can't see the Image above the code is: FEN5-LHBN-B843.
Oh and if you get the code leave a comment saying you got it so people don't waste their time.
(p.s. Steve/John don't take this code...)
(p.s.s the Steve and John that write for this blog not any Steve's or John's that just read the blog)
I’m not really sure if I can or should call this a review, but I think I’m going to. Basically, a lot of good looking smexy games are coming out next week. It’s bad enough that I won’t have enough money to buy them all, but also not have enough time because of other games. So, I figure if I want Agarest to be reviewed this month I’m gonna have to do it now while I’m on the halfway point in the game (or so it seems anyway). I will however be doing a full review of the game when I do finish it (which will probably be in a couple of months).
Liked:
Soul Breed: I’ll be bloody honest right now, this was the main reason I got this game when I heard about it. There are five chapters in the game. In each chapter, you play the child of the main character from the previous chapter. The interesting part is, depending on who you marry and mate with determines the stats and skills of your child.
Story: While not the best story in the world, it is enjoyable and interesting enough to keep me going instead of outright quitting the game. The basic premise of the story is basically an ancient evil has come back to takeover the world and the first hero who dies at one point is granted strength to help the world defeat this darkness, but he has to give his and his descendants their… freedom I guess would be the best word in this case.
Meh:
English Subtitles: The game only has Japanese voiceovers. This didn’t really bother me, but I may as well mention it just in case this does bother you.
Dislike:
Fighting: I probably should have mentioned this before, but the game is a strategy RPG (like FF: Tactics or Fire Emblem). I tend to enjoy these types of games, but Agarest War has a few issues. Every battlefield is flat, they reuse the battlefields a lot, there’s no feeling of an advantage when you attack from behind or the sides, and my biggest issue with it is the battles just get too tedious too fast.
Stuck: It's possible to get stuck, there’s no way to change the difficulty mid game, and if you can’t get out of your predicament, you're just gonna have to restart. (Yeah I'm an idiot... there's a kind of move menu so you can go straight to town you visited...)
I’m enjoying the story but the fights are really bringing me down. If I had to rate Agarest War from where I am in the game, I would give it a 6/10.
Edit:
I decided to record the intro of the game out of boredom and put it here enjoy.
Anyone who likes or even loves football and follows the NFL knows that it is very likely that some of your favorite players could be saying their good byes to your team, and hello to another over night. That's how the business side of the NFL is. I personally do not like that and some people may be indifferent about it after accepting it...
Well, to get to the point of this post, It has been the off-season for the NFL since February and I think that all of the trading, signing, and releasing of players is starting to wrap up for now. This has been the most busy off-season I have witnessed since I started following football. I find this exciting for the most part. There have been a lot of big moves that everyone knows about, and a bit of smaller signings that only fans of that team would pay attention to.
About the draft...I never really made any kind of big deal about watching the draft in the past, but i watched the 1st round of the 2010 NFL Draft. The reason that I never worried about watching is because it will be covered on ESPN for the next week after. Anyway...every year that I hear about the draft, people seem to be saying that it was the best draft class of all time. I don't see how every draft can be the best draft ever. Maybe that is just me though.
Moves I'm Excited To Follow
New York Jets- The New York Jets picked up a lot of talent this off-season. I want to see how LaDainian Tomlinson and Santonio Holmes perform in this upcoming season. I was dumbfounded when I read online that the Jets picked up former Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes! I was also surprised to hear that they did get L.T. I wasn't surprised that he was picked up, but I was surprised because of the team he went to. Unlike a lot of people, I DO NOT think that L.T. is washed up! You can not blame declining or lack of production on one person. Just like you can give one person all of the credit when things are going great. I think L.T. will do just fine and Santonio will be itching to play when his suspension is up.
Kansas City Chiefs- I can't say that I know why the Jets decided to let go of a great RB like Thomas Jones. All he did was produce for them and he is great in the 4th quarter. The Chiefs should enjoy pounding the rock with Jones and tossing in some Jamaal Charles in the mix. The Chiefs should be a bit tougher this year with the addition of Jones plus a couple of good draft picks like Eric Berry, Dexter McCluster, and Javier Arenas.
Baltimore Ravens- We all have to assume that Anquan Boldin will most likely be Flacco's favorite target. The guy is a great receiver! You also have to assume that the Ravens will be just as tough to beat as always. They picked up some defensive guys in the draft who can come in and make an impact. As always, Ray Lewis will be driving this team to play great games.
Miami Dolphins- A HUGE move for the Dolphins was trading for WR Brandon Marshall! This guy is big, has great catching ability, and has some good speed for his size. The Dolphins also added to the defensive side of the team when they picked up MLB Karlos Dansby from the Arizona Cardinals(I didn't know he is 26 by the way). All of their draft picks were defensive players except one OL. Even though they have another really tough schedule, look out for the Dolphins next year.
I am excited to see how Sam Bradford and Jimmy Clausen will perform this year if they start. Bradford is almost sure to start. Clausen could start, but some people are behind Matt Moore so we'll see what happens with that. Two more players I want to see are C.J. Spiller and Jahvid Best. They should both be exciting to watch and make things difficult on their opponents.
Like many people, I got the chance to play the Split/Second demo when it came to Xbox Live market place, and let me say it’s badass.
Loved
Explosions- Every two feet there is something you can trigger to explode to try and take out your opponents in front of you, each explosion is always fun to watch, and nothing is more fun than watching your opponents crash or you narrowly making it out of an explosion.
Multi-path- I played the demo fifteen times the first day it came out, and each race felt different and had enough different paths to make one map a blast to play over and over.
Disliked
Behind Me- You can’t trigger explosions behind you… which felt a little odd.
I really like the demo for Split/Second and I pretty much hate racing games. I can’t wait for this game to come out on May 18th 2010.
