Final Fantasy XIII

Logo

Its almost here, didnt realise the release date was so close and i didnt pre-order so im getting it a bit late. Im starting to regret the purchase though, even though it isnt here yet. I want to enjoy it, but i know its not going to be anything like the pre-FFX games. Hopefully i will still be able to enjoy it for what it is, instead of hating it for what it isnt. Alot of people crying the Xbox 360 version dosnt look as good as the PS3 version (artifacts, like you get in jpeg quality pics apparently) but, its not a PC game, so it dosnt bother me. I sit about 10ft away from the TV, not 1-2ft like i do my PC, so i doubt i would even notice.

Team Fortress 2

Almost every other screenshot i have is of the scoreboard

<brag>So many heavy taunt kills, this is on a busy 32 player server aswell, not messing around with some friends in an empty one. Also, decided to make my own spray a little more professional. Dont have Photoshop anymore like i did YEARS ago (it was PS6) but im proud of what i managed to do with GIMP and Garrys Mod. The text comes from one of the spys domination lines

</brag> And a shity avatar for Steam Community. The base King of the Hill image i used was low quality and i didnt really spend as much time on it.

I think im gonna start recording my TF2 games now, make a massive montage of my taunt kills. I bet nobody has done that before! *goes to youtube*…. shit… Ill do it anyway.

STALKER: Call of Pripyat

I thought i was a hoarder

Was going to try and do some more videos but luck of the draw means NOTHING INTERESTING HAS HAPPENED TO ME SINCE THE LAST ONE… But then, i have been distracted by other things. Started a new game, gonna take my time in this one. Added some new “rules” to this playthrough. Like sleeping at night time and not going out alone if it can be helped and rather than fast traveling with a group of stalkers i’ll walk with them to the destination.

Battlefield 3 Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Fraps seems to have eaten the rest of my screenshots

Great game, im loving it. Its let me down a little bit because it isnt Battlefield 3, but i can hardly blame it for that. Its not far off though. Single player is a bit bland. Gave up on it for now, but i want this to be Battlefield 3 anyway, and Battlefield 2 had no singleplayer, so meh. <brag>Ive got 4 Gold stars on my M1911 pistol</brag>

Aliens Vs Predator

Calm down

No, no, no, no ,no ,no. MASSIVE LETDOWN… Finished marine and alien campaign, Cant bring myself to finish the predator one. So boring, got a video of the AMAZING AI but even thats screwed. Recorded it with fraps but it plays way too fast. Tried messing with the speed but its difficult to get it back to the proper speed its supposed to be. Anywho, might upload it one day soon.

Just Cause 2 Demo

Picture Unrelated

Oh damn, this game is gonna be good. Tweaked the demo a little bit with Cheat Engine to stop the time limit n whatnot, although its really not needed, since it isnt a one time timelimit, you can just restart. You dont really gain that much playing through the demo anyway so you dont lose alot by just restarting. Plot and voice acting dont seem like they are going to be a high point. But WHO CARES. just give it a try and watch some videos on youtube. Theres even mods available for the demo already! Like guns that shoot bubbles, so i think this game is going to last me a long time.

That’ll Do

For now… Hopefully nobody will put this post through one of those HTML/CSS validators, it would probably implode. ]]> http://innovacious.co.uk/2010/03/stuff/feed/ 0 http://innovacious.co.uk/2009/07/splosion-man-n-swine-flu/ http://innovacious.co.uk/2009/07/splosion-man-n-swine-flu/#comments Wed, 22 Jul 2009 17:26:09 +0000 Scott http://innovacious.co.uk/?p=186 ‘Splosion Man was released on XBLA today. Its a sidescroller where you control a “man” who “splodes”. Most of the buttons make you splode, which acts as a jump and an attack, if you havnt figured it out, splosion=explosion. It only costs 800ms points (about £7) but has 50 single player levels and multiplayer levels. Im not sure if multiplayer is co-op, or how levels differ, but the less than half of the single player ive played already is more than worth what ive paid for it. You should just watch this trailer, hosted by Giantbomb.com

There is also an amazing song in it, about donuts. He will also randomly say things almost incoherantly as you run around. Including “Get to the choppa”, plane noises while running with his arms out, monkey noises and insane laughing

Also, ive been ill, turns out its probably NOT swine flu, but needs to be treated the same just incase, so im quarantined in my home til friday. So, sods law, today i get a phone call about a job that starts tomorrow…

I could carry on with these other saves, because (believe it or not) im not finished with them…

…but decided to start a new mage. Gone with an Altmer with the Mage sign and all the magic skills as major, probably not the best setup, some of the magic skills are so easy to level its not really worth having them as a major but meh, ill see how it goes.

sidenote: i really need to get a capture card so i can take screenshots/record videos on the xbox.

Free Realms was pretty bad, i decided to try it out because of all the publicity it was getting. Its an MMORPG, not really focused on fighting like most since its aimed at kids, one of the first skills i learned was about how to train a puppy. I guess, it is aimed at kids though, maybe if i was 6 years old again… one of my friends may have had a younger sister that might have enjoyed it…

ArmA II was… well, buggy and unfinished. Ive heard lots of people say its a great game if you can see past that but at the moment i dont have the patience, will probably wait a while then go and have another try. I could go on about all the bugs n stuff, but ill just start ranting. They arent even game breaking or anything, they just all added up and my frustration got higher and higher until i had to rage quit. I paused during a long breifing and after unpausing, the whole thing restarted. Thats what took me over the edge

And the others? I might write some more stuff about those games some other time. I enjoy writing stuff like this, even if it never gets read by anyone. Im a bit of a perfectionist with this you see, while being sloppy at the same time. So many large blocks of text ive written during discussions on forums or trying to start discussions on forums has just been thrown away, never to be seen, because i couldnt convey what i wanted to say. But, at the same time, my spelling and grammar in said writing, is absolutley terrible! I rewrote this paragraph 6 times before i felt it was right… I had to write that sentence 3 times because i went back and changed more. I could go on about how i wrote that sentence twice, but i will not.

Could also write some stuff about upcoming games, like Brutal Legend, which looks to be one of the greatests games of all time (maybe not so good if you arent a metal fan or cant stand Jack Black). Hoping there is some death n black metal in there somewhere, im sure i heard Schafer breifly mention them. You should watch this if you havnt, clip hosted by Giantbomb

Anywho, thats enough for now, need to stop before i rewrite the whole thing again.
