taking it easy

Yo man.

The critical week of O levels is godamn over, next week is only chinese and MCQs,no need for studying much,so im currently taking it easy. Its been a long journey,kudos to myself and all those taking O levels. This blog will be more active as O levels are over, which is great! As additional info im gonna buy a PS3 on november 11th,after my chemistry/biology MCQ paper.Oh yea man.

Games to buy for a start have been decided,killzone 2 and little big planet FTW. Reasons why is because they are cheap compared to other games. Next game will be tekken 6,but ill have to save abit on that 1.Anyways, playing an awesome online game that I once ditched before,dekaron SEA. Its a great MMORPG that I once quit cause I didnt see it from the perspective of the positives sides.Currently using a level 35 incar magician,my previous account was a level 47 vicious summoner.Its a fun game, recommended to online game players,its fairly easy to level up too.

Enough chatter,Ive gone on long enough, my next post will be directed back to gaming.Once again,kudos to myself and all those taking O levels.

wolfteam-smart wolf




Yo. Today im gonna continue posting about wolfteam.Today's post will have a theme, with the feature being the smart wolf. One of the current 8 different wolves usable in wolfteam. Smart wolf is the 2nd wolf from the left in the above picture. The smart wolf is an annoying piece of crap that is used by many people in wolf conquest mode. The smart wolf can be used in Wolf conquset,EX mode,destruction S2 and wolf war mode. Well time to talk about it.












Pros(+)

-very very small.It is smaller than a human,making it hard to be hit in wolf conquest mode. It can also conceal itself toatally by hiding behind the crates around base C in paien lab, as well as going into the human hiding hole near the human base in power plant map.

-life drain ability. This is uber gey.It gains 20 hp into its shield every time it slashes an opponent succesfully.And a full smart wolf jump-right click attack is 4 hits.Also when it kills something,it can crouch and slash the dead body to rapidly gain hp.It can store up to 300 hp to its shield,starting with an initial amount of 100.

-fast moving speed,combining this with its small size,smart wolf is the ultimate bullet dodging machine.When engaging a human,by just jumping around the human will have trouble hitting it.

Cons(-)

-weak defense. Altough it can store lots of hp,its weak defense makes it prone to dieing alot when being hit all around. This is the smart wolf's weakness, good smart users can prevent the opponents from exploiting this weakness by camping,not allowing them to attack.

-weak damage. Though it has rapid clawing,each claw does no more than 60-70 damage,that means unlike many wolves,it cannot 2 hit KO human,and this makes smart wolf useless in any mode outside of wolf conquest or destruction S2. Smart wolf will most likely lose to any wolf in a head to head battle.

-gets 1 hit KOed alot by rocket launchers and grenades.

Best used for killing humans.NOTHING ELSE.

Well thats it for its pros and cons.Smart is a potentially good wolf in wolf conq or des S2,but outside of it,its really crap.For those smart haters,in EX or wolf war,just use any wolf under the sun and you can kill it.Not kidding,even a basic wolf can own it.In wolf conq,it is advised to use rocket launchers for easy pickings. Since it is small, shotgun also works.

Thats for for today.Next post will most probably be about guns,or the almighty ice wolf,depends on my mood.Peace.

Heres the rating.

Rating:2.5/5


Oh yeah for those wondering why the fk im still posting altough O level is gonna continue the next day,its cuz I need a break,I simply cannot stand social studies.

Blazblu:calamity trigger(arcade edition)

Gamespot score:n/a

my score:7.5




Heres another arcade game!Blazblu(aka guilty gear XXX),is a highly rated 2D fighter game for the 4th gen consoles(with a stinking high 8.0).Today im doing the arcade edition,thus no score from gamefaqs(typical).Anyhow I dont think there is much of a diff from the console versions.Being an arcade fighter expect button mashers and strangers challenging you out of NOWHERE,RUINING YOUR FUN.Meh its expected,its open to public after all,or you can just have a friend go to the arcade with you and sit right next to you when you are playing the game itself.Hehe,anyway,on with it.




Arcade game,hmmmm.Japenese voices and subtitles,hmmmmm.Dont expect me to understand this game's story.Well according to my info there are 12 characters(thats sad),and each has thier own story battles and final stages.I dont understand any crap at all so bleh...As for price variations,one try 1 token.Quite reasonable,since you can most likely last to the end of the game with one try,but you will most likely lose to the last stage if you are a newbie(like yours truly).






Well here we are,this is how the arcade stick looks like.Well before you actually get to play the game,you get to choose a moveset.A or B.Moveset A,which I use,is mainly played by using the top 4 buttons.Moveset B,I supposed will be played with the bottom buttons.But both movesets will be using the arcade stick. There will be another exact same replica of this on the right side of this though,for challengers to step in and challenge you,which is fuck for newbies like me.





Well here we are,the battle screen.Personally I like it alot.The dudes from the guilty gear productions did a swell job.With excellent battle surroundings and creatively and beautifully designed batlle character sprites this game's 2D presentations is one of the best I've seen,as expected for a 4th gen game.The characters moves are varying, quick but weak attacks,slow but strong attacks and so on....like in any fighting game.Few strategies to this.1,button mash.This tactic is used by noobs,like me.Just mash the same few buttons over and over until you beat your helpless opponent,but this wont work on advanced human players or final battles.The 2nd tactic is comboing.This is used by pros,and requires great and precise timings.These guys can pawn the game no problem.





Though the game only has 12 characters,they never fail to amuse. Thier fighting styles are unique,they have great attack animations,and are designed in flawless 2D artwork.Each character is awesome in thier own way. Ragna with his big,life stealing sword,jin with his ice techniques,noel with her funny techno like guns,tager with his fists of fury and hakuman,well he just looks really awesome.My favourite characters would be ragna,cuz he is a pro,and noel,cuz she is hot.Noel for the win =).
Overall blazblue in the arcade is worth a spin,for fighting game lovers.Only a token per play,this game is reasonable,and one try lasts you for quite awhile. But when someone challenges you and wins,dont be pissed,its the cycle of arcade gaming XD(I learnt that when it happened to me personally).




Happy gaming.(wow at noel)

super robot taisen OG endless saga

Gamespot score:7.0(good)

my score:8.0




You cant blame me if I am overating this game,cause I really find it a fun game.This game with the ridiculously long title is a classic turn by turn RPG,featuring certain cameo appearances from other games.This game isn't any different from many RPGs,execpt the characters with really funny personallities and perhaps the pretty good storyline,though it is rather predictable.


The endless frontier.An age where denizens of other world and dimensions come together to act as one.Well this probably makes no sense,but this game does show why later on.The game starts as a cowboy like guy called haken,and his sexy android partner aschen, are visiting a abandoned space ship as bounty hunters.They later find a sexy princess named kaguya(supposed to be a person of high authority)and get dragged into many weird businesses,such as finding an expert group of fighters called the orchestral army,or fighting to save the worlds from being dragged back into a greiving war.The story is rather in depth and the characters are greatly designed,personallities and looks.












Well this game has a rather different fighting style, altough it is still turn by turn.Instead of just selecting an attack and executing it,you have to get all the skills that you have gathered,and plan them in an attack order of up to 5 chains. Sounds complicated,but its actually simple, that means you can perform up to 5 attacks in one turn.
But you cant just keep attacking 5 times in a row every turn, you have the COM gauge,each attack you do consumes COM,if you dont have the required COM for the desired attack,the attack wont execute. Of course COM can be restored by simply doing nothing for that turn,or using SP skills to restore it.SP skills also do stuff like restore HP/cast magic(I believe many already know that).











Yes kosmos is in this game,and shes looking as great as ever.The sexy battle engine is probably the cameo many will look forward to,as well as being the strongest party member in the game(Im not joking).This game is also great for one reason of the cameo appearances.Kosmos is one of them,there are 2 more,reiji and xiaomu from namcoXcapcom(which I must comment is an awesome game).









Well here they are,reiji and xiaomu performing a teamwork attack.This game has lenghty boss fights,which is a good thing.Thier HP usually range over a few hundred thousand,meaning you will be fighting them for quite awhile.They usually arent much of a prob,you just wack,heal,wack, heal......and so on.Once again boss designs are good and some cameo bosses include T-elos and saya(both babes).Some bosses are however,annoyingly strong and many of the battles seem unfair.Katze is one of such annoying bosses,giving you only space for slight breathers and you can only hit him for less than 3 digits of damage.

Another cool thing is that the characters are really funny.They usually dont hold back in thier speeches ,talking about stuff related to sex and commenting on each others body figures(aka boobs).They also trash talk,which is downright awesome.Combined with a long story gameplay,this is an RPG great to enjoy.







Happy gaming.

yggdra union

Gamespot score:5.5(medicore)

my score:7.7




Screw gamespot.I dun see why they gave the GBA version of this game 8.0,and they give the PSP version 5.5. Faggots if you ask me.Anyway, yggdra union is a PSP,a remake of the GBA version,if you will.Yggdra union is a strategy/RPG game hybrid that is more fun than gamespot states that it is.It has a unique battle strategy system than that of any strategy/RPG game that I have played(final fantasy tactics A/A2, luminous arc).For RPG or strategy game players you will find this game rather fun as I did.





Yggdra is a typical princess of a kingdom(and a real kickass one if I may).She is being chased down by the troops that overran her kingdom(something like that) and she takes the holy sword and escapes amidst the chaos.She runs into a cliff-desert area where she is cornered by enemy troops,and is saved by bandit leader milanor. The story goes as milanor and her goes around to save her kingdom, recruiting people who will help her on the way.




Alright,time for the gameplay. The gameplay here is unique,I havent seen anything like it.It might not appeal to some( like that of the folks at gamespot),but you gotta say you dont really find many stuff you find in yggdra union in many strategy/RPG games.First,on the battle map.The graphics sux,they are merely just 8-bit pixels and nothing else.But here you get to glance your enemies units on the map,be it golems,undines or enemy soldiers.You also get to check your unit morales(also known as this game's HP).I forget but im not sure if you can check enemy morales as well.Also here is where you decide to use "cards".Cards are special items that help you on the field,such as lowering enemy morale/gaining more attack on your next attack.




Now this is the screen you get when engaging with an enemy unit.Its pretty and quite flashy.Not too bad,but the only flaw here is the crack in the middle of the screen that divides the 2 teams,its kinda irritating.Now the basic thing to do is just watch as your unit fights the opposing unit,until one's unit runs out of troops.The performance of how your unit or the enemy unit fights depends on wheter you used a card before battle,or wheter the terrain you are standing on provides good defense.Also there is some sort of a scissors paper stone rule.Lemme show you one example, swords>spears,spears>axes,axes>sword.So its good if your team has a variety of sword,spear and axe wielding units.

Overall,not too bad of a game.The story aint that good thou,its quite normal.There are no twists in the plot or whatever.There is however a good fanservice scene showing yggdra bathing :).Anyhow,RPG/strategy game lovers should try and play this,ignore gamespot's score,I highly doubt its real.If it makes you feel any better,take the GBA score.



Happy gaming.
