I finish every game that I start. But yesterday, I realised something - I do have a backlog. They are-

1) Final Fantasy IV

2) Final Fantasy VI

3) Overlord 2

4) Warcarft 3: The Frozen Throne

5) Metro 2033

Now, I know that's a pretty small list but the thing is that I've had these games for years and I've even tried to finish them multiple times only to abandon them mysterioulsy even though I was enjoying them.

Let me know what you guys think.

I feel bad for not coming on here and posting with all of my friends. I have missed this place a ton!

Since the last time I talked to you I have gotten engaged, the Spring Semester has started and I should be finding out the sex of my baby soon! So far it looks like my baby will be a girl but they will not know for sure until my fianc  is 20wks. in which she is only about a couple of weeks away from, I am getting very excited about our baby!!!

I will try to come here as much as possible during the spring semester but I can not promise much since this semester I have a few classes that will take a bulk of my time. This semester I am taking English 101, Chem 101& Chem 101 L, and Trig. So I will be buried in my notes and books studying a lot for my classes.So what have you all been up to?

Rockstar has finally revealed that the game will come to consoles in the second quarter of 2013, an announcement fans are undoubtedly excited about. After all, what's new that the company prepared to compensate the agony of those who can not wait to return to Los Santos? Unfortunately, we still have to wait a while longer to find out, as the publisher continues its silent policy regarding details on the fifth game in the franchise, releasing new information in small doses -- to our despair. On the other hand, this does not stop us from speculating. While no novel feature has been confirmed, our expectations lie in improvements around what already exists. For as grand and exciting as the games are, they are not perfect. There is always that edge that needs to be trimmed so that the result is even better. But instead of talking about what I want out of GTA V, I decided to just list the points that I dont want to see in GTA V. You know that one feature that made you twist your face in one of the previous games? Chances are theyre exactly what I want out of what is already touted as one of next years most anticipated games.



worst-five-gta-v.jpg


Girlfriends and inconvenient friends

We're obviously not talking about your social life outside of video games, but within them. One of GTAs notable features is focusing on a protagonists non-criminal life, showing that they are also people who come out to have fun and meet new people. The problem is when this game disrupts their "work". Who honestly didnt got angry on hearing the phone ring and discover that your friend wants to go bowling or your girlfriend wants to go to a new restaurant at the exact moment you're doing an important mission or engaged in a police chase? Exploring this social side was at times and brought many possibilities, but it was poorly executed. The phone calls that arose in the worst situations, forced the player into change his route to satisfy the character with whom he made a point. We want GTA, not Sims. This does not mean, however, that Im not up for any side-quests. They give life to the world and makes everything more interesting. In this case, Id rather do them any time I want, not when somebody calls me in a middle of a mission. Flirting and hanging out with friends are cool, as long as it does not break the rhythm of the game's central activity.

Exaggerated realism

One of Rockstars secrets on GTAs success is betting on a formula that combines extreme realism with fantastical elements that would never be possible in the streets of real cities. After all, who ever imagined taking a car would be easy regardless of any traffic law? In Los Santos, the police are unforgiving. That's exactly what we do not want to lose in the new game. Some of the rumors surrounding GTA V state that the police will be more attentive. Even "minor" crimes such as speeding or passing a red light will earn you a star on the meter pursuit. Actually, this is an issue that can potentially divide opinion. On one hand, it may be an interesting addition. That would put more realism, so long as the arrest is ordered only if you are caught red-handed. Under these conditions, I wont complain. However, if it happens automatically I still get caught regardless, it can turn frustrating fairly quickly. Much of the fun sandbox-type games is stepping on the gas and destroying everything that appears in front of you, despite what the DMV Los Santos has to say. Half of that charm dies if you are forced to stop in traffic or have to escape the car all the time.


Weapon customization

GTA is not primarily a shooter, even with its extensive list of available weapons. The essence of the series has always been something looser where the fun is you approach a particular situation. That's why customization and equipment evolution is risky. Improving your weapons can be quite useful in other games, but it does not always fit. Think about how often you actually cared about every single weapon used in previous games. Virtually none, right? That's because what makes the franchise so much fun is exactly the uncompromising freedom we have at our disposal. In the end, we do not care if that rifle because 12 or 15 damage, but if he is able to kill one opponent before the police arrive. Risking this approach can make GTA V to approach many third-person shooter games of out there - something that we do not want in any way.

Multiplayer

One of the worst trends of this generation is that everything has to have multiplayer. Games that were heavily focused on the single player campaign received an extra mode so you can challenge or collaborate with others. Although some titles like Assassins Creed III have managed to bring something unique and deviate from shooting other people in the face others have not. Rockstar has put multiplayer modes in previous GTA games, but the results were never satisfactory. As much as the idea of putting everyone in town in a huge Deathmatch looks interesting, it is shallow and does not have a lasting impact. That's why, in GTA V, we want a multiplayer thats actually worth investing hours in. The idea of exploring Los Santos in online mode can even be reused, provided that we have different ways to explore the vastness of the map optimally. If Rockstar is able to create something different and implement creative ways to explore multiplayer, Im on board. Otherwise, Rockstar should stick with the single player, a fact that they do best.


Zombie mode

By all that is holy in this world, thats enough! Zombies are cool, but that's no excuse to put them in everything. see it as more of a joke, especially when games introduce "new" modes that arent exactly new. I kindly ask Rockstar to not do the same with GTA V. This basically started with Red Dead Redemption, but because the game entered in a context entirely consistent with the proposed theme.Moreover, killing hordes of zombies can get old fast. The whole infestation has lasted three years is no longer amusing to me., In fact, it is absurd youre to do something slightly different, let the dead out in their tombs and bet on another niche, like dinosaurs, aliens or anything else - but no more zombies!

I could go on about things I dont want in Grand Theft Auto V, but thats where Ill stop. Though I think Rockstar is an exceptional developer, it does not mean theyre exempt in making mistakes. Now that Ive gotten that out of the way, I want to know what features or elements you dont want to see in GTA V. Surely there must be some characteristic you think does not fit the games universe. Feel free to say it in the comments. But what if the studio decides to ignore us and put it all in the final product? As frustrating as it is to say, I'm sure that fact will matter little and we'll buy the game anyway.

So what are achievements/trophies and what can they do to change your gameplay experience?

What are achievements? A achievement is considered to be a special reward for gamers that play games. Achievements keep you compelled and motivated to continue playing games to earn them. The more achievements the more time a person is likely to spend playing a game to earn them. Some people think achievements are a waste of time. In my opinion they aren't. Achievements add replay value to games, they also inspire you to do things in games that you probably normally wouldn't do.

A fine example of this type of achievement is found in the game called borderlands. A person would probably never attempt this if there was no achievement for it. This achievement is called "You're on a boat!"


The Borderlands achievement "You're on a boat!" achievement/trophy

Description: I bet you never thought you'd be here.
Gamerscore: 15 points



To earn this achievement, one has to find a hidden boat on the game and simply walk on to the the boat. This immediately unlocks the achievement, "You're on a boat!"

Sounds simple right? Most gamers would probably skip out on doing something like this if there wasn't a achievement/trophy for it.

Before achievements/trophies existed, gamers bought games, completed them and most of the time set them aside and decided to play a different game. Some gamers even sold the game and used the cash to buy another game. Which that still happens today. But gamers now have more of a reason to keep the game/s and play through them again. If they are interested in getting the achievements/trohpies and seeing alternate endings, if the game has those.

How does achievements/trophies change the gameplay experience?
Achievements/Trophies motivate gamers to play games on a higher difficulty. Some games have achievements/trophies that can only be unlocked by playing on a hard difficulty or above. Like for example, the war hero trophy in Resident Evil 5. It can only be obtained, by completing the game on the Professional difficulty.



Trust me, that difficulty is a pain.
I do feel rewarded whenever I pursue a difficult achievement and I get it. Do you?

Location: Falkreath dungeon - chamber of the leader of the Graywater Gorge
This is small trick that I have experimented. You need to kill all the enemies and come towards the chamber where the leader reside. There is an iron door which you need to go through in order to come to the chamber. Before you go inside, just remember to make a save. Now here comes the interesting part. Make sure you are in sneak stance. Now open the door as you can see 3 stone steps directly in front of you. That marks the border of your snaking ground. Carefully approach and wait inside chamber right beside the iron door till all the enemies are settle down on the upper quarter on the far side of the chamber. Now all you have to do is sneak back and forth as no one see you yet you can see them standing still on the far side. But be careful not to go beyond 3 stonesteps. Tell me the results and dont forget to follow me on twitter @RealNirman and facebook. Happy snaking!!

... Oh wait... That's Hearts and Hooves Day...

Oh well, pretty much the same basic principle... Only with humans!!

Aaaaanyways... At least in Equestria I have a better chance of staying with my special somepony than in the real world...

... I think I'm straying from my point again I have ponies in my head today!!

I honestly don't really understand why they made up a holiday to celebrate love. I mean, if you love somepo- err... I mean someone, you should love him/her/it everyday, right? I could just get off my lazy ass and get something from the store any time I wanted! Why the hell would I need a day to tell me to do something like that? I think it's bull**** to be honest... the so called "Day of Love" is becoming a piece of consumerist bull****.... If you really love someone, why don't you just do something that could last a life time? You could go out on a walk in the park... it's free and it'll help lose a few pounds... unless you're too damn lazy too... Why buy a box of chocolate? It'll only last a little bit before it's all gone... Maybe I'm just being bitter because I don't have a gf of my own... or maybe not... Interpret it the way you want... I couldn't give more of a ****...

Anyways... Now that that's off my chest... Happy Forever Alone Day everyone!
