Naughty Bear Review

Naughty as in bad

Liked

Some Humor: You’ll get some chuckles out of the things that are going on. Stuff like choking a teddy bear with a phone or the fact that they named a zombie teddy bear Geebus.

Hated

Sea Sick: the Frame rate in Naughty Bear is poor. It gets distracting and it just gets worse when you start killing the other bears.

Boring: Naughty Bear Gets boring fast, the deaths and screams of the other bears become a dull throb in the back of your head as you think what game you’re gonna play next.

You know what fuck the list of pros and cons. The bottom line here is Naughty Bear is not a good game. The Frame rate is Disgustingly bad, the camera is shit, the game can’t keep up with its self and freezes up when to much is happening (which is often towards the end of the game), and in the end a big waste of time. It’s a interesting concept but poorly executed, this game would be hard for me to recommend to anyone even if the price was ten dollars. Just pass this one up or wait till its 3 bucks.

2.0/10 SHIT

I played all the main story missions, a handful of the challenges, and a few matches in multiplayer.

Record of Agarest War Halfway Review?

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.

Burnout Paradise

I know this is late to review, but I just bought and started playing this game last week...

I had played a Burnout game about 4 or 5 years ago and loved all of it. I just recently started to play Burnout Paradise and I like it a lot.

In the last game I played, in the main mode there was just a world map and you would select which events you wanted to do. While racing, or crashing, there would be a set track like most racers. It was fun and I enjoyed it while I was able to play it. In this new Burnout, it has a free roam feature that lets you explore Paradise City (and the Paradise Island DLC) and discover what there is to find. I personally like this feature over the way Burnout used to be. Also, while in a race or event, you still have that freedom. There are no more walls with arrows or some kind of barricade that tells you which way you are supposed to go; you go whichever way you like.

I don't know what the online play was like in previous Burnout games, but I think the online play is great in this one. It has a constant flow of information on what records you're friends have broken and what streets they now own. If you want to go online with other racers, you can access a menu that appears while you are free roaming. You don't have to press pause or go back to the main menu. The connection is, if not instant, almost instantly and you don't have to wait in a lobby or anything. There are also quite a few challenges/events to enjoy and compete in when playing online with a few friends.

I have read a few things about this game online. Some people say that it is extremely realistic. The only things to me that are "extremely" realistic are the crashes and the sound of the engines. When you crash or wreck your vehicle, the game will most likely go into slow motion and show you all the crinkles, bending, and smashing of the car. Depending on how you crash, you will see pieces of metal and rubber flying everywhere. The wheels will come off and if you crash into something sideways, your car may even start wrapping around what you crashed into. The engines do sound realistic, but when you are on a straight a way, if you are holding the throttle the whole time the car will continue to shift up, and up, and up. It doesn't stop unless you start to slow down or the alternative, which would be crashing/wrecking.

Burnout Paradise has quite a few cars to choose from, including cars from previous games. This wide variety lets you try out Paradise City a few different ways. I have a few personal favorites that I tend to stick with. There are three different kinds of boost though. Aggression, Speed, and Stunt. You can also stick the cars in these boost categories. If you have some built up frustration, grab an aggressive car and go on some road rage. If you feel like showing off your moves and getting some style points, get into a stunt car and jump off a few ramps in a stunt event.

If you like cars, smashing stuff, and insane jumps, this could be a good game for you. I like it a lot. It's an especially great time if you can get some friends online and drive around whether it's racing, or wrecking each other all over the city.
