Assassin's Creed is going the wrong way.

So I'm playing AC 4 nowadays and I gotta say it has changed so much over the years that it has forgotten to be what it was. I had loved AC1 very much & it's still is my most fav AC game. Everything in it fascinated me. The character, Altair, the story, the setting, the gameplay etc was so beautiful. And then came Ezio's adventure for 3 games. I had liked AC2 almost as much as AC1. Some people liked it more some liked it just as much as 1 but I loved the 1 more. Everything you did in AC1. i.e. eavesdropping, viewpoint synchronizing, random killings, were all related to the main missions. AC2 was way too non-linear for me. I hate it when games are so non-linear that they forget to pay more attention to the main missions. The only "too sandbox-ish" game I like is, 'The Sims' series but that is because it doesn't have any pre-made story that you need to follow in order to proceed. I also hated Ezio as a character. I loved Altair's personality. He had this bad-ass attitude in the beginning and he later becomes very down to earth and nice. I also loved to hate Al-Mualim the antagonist. I hated his accent in the PSP game as much as I love different accents. Though Ezio changed a bit in brotherhood but the game had started to get a little less interesting for me. Revelations was good too but nothing special. I loved Ezio in the intro. He looked very different. I also didn't like the way they showed Altair's story in revelations or so though it wasn't that bad maybe. Desmond's story had started to bore me too with all the 'end of the world' crap. Finally Ezio's story ended as a trilogy & we were given the new character. Unfortunately the game took so much in developing the character that it didn't have any excitement in it except for a few parts. I had thought it would be my last AC game but then I heard about the new game having pirates and later when it got released it managed to get great reviews so I thought of getting it. I'm still very early in the game (3rd sequence) & I just want to stop playing it already. Half of the game is full of boring, hard to control ship travels and battles. It doesn't even seem like an 'Assassin's Creed' game. I'm liking the story for now and the platforming is also still interesting. In fact, I had loved to do all the platforming very early in the game on the beautiful island. I wished that was more in the game, but there are many things that I'm hating. The repetitiveness, the timed missions etc. While I still want to play more and see if there's anything interesting or till I get another game, here are the things that I hate in this game. I might include them again in my review if I do a review if I complete the game:

- Sailing: Very boring and hard to control.
- Ship battles: Always hated these in AC games.
- Random side missions,
- Timed side missions (target went to pee) Side missions shouldn't be timed. why would I waste my time on other missions if they are just as hard,
- Timed main missions: Desynchronized because you couldn't reach in time blah blah boring.
- Baby sitting:  Desynchronized because your Ally died because he can't take care of himself.
- Chasing fragments, shanties etc. As if getting to these shits isn't hard. After you do find out the locations of these shits & reach them they start to run away from you. Why would I waste my time chasing them instead of paying attention to the main game?
- Too many main ship missions: Half of the game is full of ship battles that are not optional. Is this a stealth assassination game or Around the World in 80 days?

 There are two things I hate about Ubisoft. 1. They tend to include things only THEY like and fans hate (for e.g. timed missions, chasing which includes not only human beings but fragments & papers too, horse races with crappy controls & ship battles) 2. They tend to change the sequel way too much from the original. So much, that it looses it's originality & becomes something else (For e.g Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia series, Splinter Cell, And I yet have to try out Far Cry series.)

 What they should do IMO for the next AC is to add more stealth elements & assassination moves. After all it's "Assassination" Creed & not "Pirates"Creed unless they change the title. We should be able to utilize the platforming, I loved the crypts in AC2. Give us more stealth weapons. They are actually removing throwing knives from AC, Unity I read. That would suck. It was fun throwing knives at the rooftop guards.

Anyway, I'm going to play AC4 to see if I want to continue or not. I've started Far Cry 1 on PC. It doesn't seem much stealthy for now but lets see. And here are my scores for the AC games I've played excluding the PSP one.

AC 1: 9/10
AC 2: 8.5
AC B: 8
AC R: 7.5
AC 3: 6
AC 4: ???? 

Singularity on GeForce 210

'Singularity' on GeForce 210 works smooth on my P4 HT. All off the video options are checked except for one last one I don't remember the name for. And I had changed the resolution too. So far it's a very interesting game. It's like Bioshock series. But I haven't yet gotten the TMD. I like the story too. Although the card was cheap, it lets me play cool games on P4 HT. I can run 'Reckoning' very smoothly on my P4. It didn't play 'The Witcher 2' & 'Saint's Row the Third' (or was it fourth?) very smoothly though. They were both very slow so I didn't continue.  Since 'Singularity' was released in 2010, I beleive it could play a lot of 2010 games. Since I wasn't very much into fps some years ago, I never played games like 'Far Cry', 'Crysis', 'Metro 2030' etc. But that doesn't mean I never played any. I've played some good ones. I still love 3rd person more but also play first person perspective ones. I never cared much about the perspective in adventure games though. Anyway, after I complete this, I'm going to try games like, 'Far Cry', 'Crysis', 'Metro 2033' etc. But considering 'Reckoning' was released in 2012, I believe the card could play most cool games that were released in 2012 as well? Or a few, at least. But I'm going to try some 2010 games first. Off course it could play some games of 2014 but I'm talking about the ones with full 3D graphics & all. I was also able to play Darksiders 2 on this card but I think I had to tone down the graphics a lot. I never completed that game though but it's still installed on my machine.

I also finished watching Breaking Bad. IMO season 4 was the best. The episode 8 of season 5 was a perfect ending for me. I hated everything that happened after that episode.

Grindr

So a dude on 'Scruff' told me there are more dudes from my country on 'Grindr' than on 'Scruff' (which I think is a better app than 'Hornet'). So I downloaded it & sure there are more dudes from my country there. But my country also has douchebags. Since being openly gay (I'm actually bi) is hard in this country so people rarely share their photos. But I know how everyone just assumes you would be ok if you share your pic and I do agree that it's unfair if your pic isn't on a social/dating site/app. So I uploaded this pic that doesn't clearly show my face as there are other pics that have other body parts of dudes than their face, which I think is better than some crappy art or fake photos or photos of some hot celeb.

I was in bed when I thought of ways to take a picture of mine without showing my face and this is one of those pics which I ended up uploading on Grindr. Anyway, so I get a message from a dude telling me I have big nails & I should cut them down. My intention wasn't even showing my nails. It was to cover most of my face. So I tell him I don't like keeping my nails long normally. I was just lazy and wanted to upload a pic on the app ASAP. And he keeps on being mean to me, telling me how unhealthy & a bad habit it is to keep long nails and that I should cut them down ASAP, as if I was his teenage son. I thought of looking at his pic. I saw that his pic had his face very far to the right & you could only see the tips of his nose, mustache, lips, chin, forehead etc. i.e. his face was sideways and mostly hidden. And lo and behold, he was smoking in the pic. Not that I hate smokers but how is that a better habit from keeping your nails. And like I said, I don't like keeping my nails that long & I was just lazy & in my bed and wanted to upload my pic ASAP so I didn't notice. So I tell him about his pic and his smoking and he says smoking creates a mystery. As if it justifies his comments on me. Man, this is why I hate most of the people from my country. I had put the info on the app that I don't like shy & emotional guys. And he probably, reading that said, since you don't want me to be shy I would tell you to cut your nails. No, jackass, that's not, not-being-shy. That's being mean, especially if your pic isn't that different and when I'm explaining the reason of my nails in that pic. I wish people would change their attitude in this country.
   

Shirtless Bruce Wayne

I gotta admit I loved John Layman's run on Detective Comics, especially his 'Emperor Penguin' story. The new team consists of Francis Manapul & Brian Buccellato. I don't know why they changed the writer and the artist. I actually love the artist. They both worked on 'Flash' together with the relaunch. His characters look too cute to me. I hated it when the artists had left. The 'Flash' got boring for me when this gorilla from another dimension (Grodd) fat-butted in. But as I said above, I loved John Layman's run on Detective comics & I got worried when I read the team would be changed with the issue 30. While I'm glad to see the art from Manapul, I really got bored of the story. Anyway, here are the pics of shirtless Bruce Wayne and once again Alfred gets lucky to not only see him shirtless but touch his sexy shoulder. Also, I wonder why they are back on talking about Damian. I remember an issue where they finally come to realize it's over and Damian wasn't coming back. It was either in Detective comics or most probably in 'Batman and Robin'. The writer surely didn't read that issue. If Damian is coming back, even then it should be a surprise. One can not re-worry about a character just because he was going to be re-introduced.

 

The myth of male power.

This post was going to be about shirtless pics of Bruce Wayne from Detective Comics #30, but I just saw a pic and the caption in a newspaper and was disgusted with it. So I would post those pics in the next post after this.
I was going to take a newspaper to pour my fried eggs on and I caught a glimpse of a chic in red clothes sitting in an office. Nothing wrong with it off course but I don't know how I sensed it would be related to femitards. So I read the caption and sure enough it was blaming men. It said something like "in this men's society with their absurd laws, women aren't looked at nicely when they go out to work and even than this woman is not scared and is doing a job." I wish I could have scanned & posted the pic here but I was so disgusted that I hurried to take the newspaper to the kitchen so the sooner it was in the kitchen, the sooner it would get greasy with the eggs.
Whoever the poster is, he or  she has surely been living under a rock. This is 2014. I remember back in the90s, when I was a kid, living at Karachi, many women used to go out for a job. We had female teachers, vice principals, actresses, doctors etc & no men cared about their jobs. They used to drive cars and even vans back then too and I never saw any dudes, who worked at the gas stations, to even care who the gender was. In fact, I remember once when my friends and me needed lifts, we had asked this chic in the car for one and she acted liked we were flirting with her even though we were just a bunch of young teens and she was probably in her 30s. No one really cares what your gender is when you are going out of your house. No one did in the 90s & no one does it now. What laws are these femitards talking about? In fact that's the problem with the feminists. When no one cares, they get insecure. They want men to notice it's a woman driving the car and flirt with her. And when a women doesn't get flirted, thanks to feminists, they get frustrated and take their anger out in the articles which men publish without even caring it's coming from a femitard. Thanks to femitards, men are getting less and less rights in marriage laws. Fathers don't get to see their children and feminists are still unhappy. Soon our existence would be sexist to them. Someone needs to stop this kind of feminism before it ruins everything. This kind of feminism needs to be criminalized by the governments all over the world.
 In the pic, I was talking about, a guy sitting further could be seen. And he seems busy in his work and not even looking at the red chic. But I think that is her problem. She surely wants him to check on her. Or maybe she isn't even one of the femitards and they just got the pic on the net.
 BTW, I made a short femitard comic some days ago, which I'm going to post here. It shows how when you only disagree with a feminist, all she whines about is either misogyny or rape culture.

How low can feminists fall?

Seriously, do feminazis have a limit of how low they'd fall? This was going to be a post about how feminazis are not with GLBT but this article kinda worried me, so maybe that one would be for the next time. The link below is of a page that mentions that a University for study of Men & Masculinities would be created & it would not only be run by feminazis but also would be based on "feminists theory".

http://commcgi.cc.stonybrook.edu/am2/publish/General_University_News_2/Stony_Brook_University_to_Create_Center_for_the_Study_of_Men_and_Masculinities.shtml

The psycho bitches are doing this on purpose. If people oppose this, the femtards are going to say they tried equal rights and people didn't want that so they don't need equal rights. Do these zombies even have a brain? Why would people want to study masculinity if it was not only financed and helped by feminists but also would be "according to feminist theory." "According to feminists theory" is the part that worries me. This needs to be stopped. People need to tell them & others that there should be more studies for men but not based on 'feminist theory'. After all feminists are the "people" who oppose masculinity. The sad thing is that government listens to some of these femtards just to get more votes. The sooner more people know through their shit the better the society would be. The other sad thing is that despite of being unfair, sexists and cruel, feminists are running around freely. Men are punished for the hate speech against women and women because of feminism get a free pass even if they stab their boyfriends and kill them. Because of feminazis, fathers can't see their children. I wonder why government is listening to these retards this much. You can't be that desperate just to get the votes and see the society get ruined in front of you. That would be so heartless. This is apparently only in the US & some other Western countries and not here in the east but feminists are everywhere, trying to ruin every medium. There are some feminists who say they want equality and superiority is not feminism and yet they do nothing to stop these radfemtards. It's sad to see Jane Fonda as a part of this crap. She's in my shitlist now. Last time it was Madonna showing her armpit hair. I seriously didn't expect Madonna to do that. I used to be her fan. I had bought her albums since 90s and now she does this. I have no problem with people growing armpit hairs. But to do it to show you are a feminist is pathetic. I once saw a porno where the woman had hair on her armpits and the guy didn't really care about it. This is funny because feminists hate prostitution and pornos. Well, unless they themselves act slutty, out in the public. They surely don't understand choice either. The women who don't want to listen to feminists are threatened by them. And yet government does nothing. A couple threatened a feminist and they got jailed but a feminist threatening the couple gets 'you go girl' crap. 
Funny thing is they sound like, 'keeping armpit hairs is feminist but shaving it off doesn't make you a feminist.' Feminism is a hate crime and should be dealt with. Feminists like these are hate speech people. If they are not stopped, the society will keep getting ruined.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning on GeForce 210

I've been playing this game since a few days. I still have P4 HT & Geforce 210. It wasn't that smooth at first on high setting but toning down a few settings has made it run smooth. I don't remember toning everything down & I'm lazy to check. So far it has been fun. This game is almost as much fun as the Elder Scrolls series. In fact Skyrim tends to get repetitive at times. This game hasn't gotten repetitive yet but I'm still early in the game. The combat is main beauty of the game. It's so beautiful that my hero is more of a mixed character than one in specific category. Though I mix up my character in other RPG games as well but I choose to be a rogue mainly. In Reckoning, the weapons associated with other personalities are so cool that you rarely want to be one kind. In other RPG's, when I choose to be a Rogue/Archer, I DO use a sword for close combat & rarely use magic. But in reckoning, like I said the weapons & animation are so beautiful that I don't want to give up the hammers. Hammers are so much fun. And I also use some magic though I've started using staves & other cool magic weapons (and the other magical weapons are really cool) less & less. There are a few things I wish they had added but every RPG can't be Skyrim. So, unfortunately:

* You can not have a love interest or get married. (I read you can get married in some DLC but not Skyrim style)
* There are no horses or any other rides. (The plain is vast & at times you'd want to take a ride. There are fast travels though.)
* You can not buy houses in every village/town you visit. (You can buy only ONE house, which you can upgrade like 4 or 5 times. The house has a chest that you can use to dump the stuff you don't want to sell but it has a limit of 150. The house also has a mirror where you can change your appearance.) This house can be found at 'Webwood.'
* You can not use your bow in stealth mode. (I hate this very much.) What's the point of stealth if you can not attack enemies from far while hiding. It has these daggers that you can use in stealth which can instantly kill an unaware enemy from stealth and has cool animations for different kinds of enemies.
* You can not have allies. (Kinda sucks because there are just so many cool weapons to choose from & there doesn't seem to be any quick way to access them. You can only map Primary & secondary weapons. For others, you'll have to open up your menu.)

There are so many other cool things you can do in this game. So far, I've been enjoying it very much. Let's see. I've heard it doesn't have good story or the plot doesn't move forward or so. Also, it would be cool if the game allows a controller & we can set some weapons to some quick redial. I don't remember checking my shitbox controller. Maybe I did & it didn't work. I don't remember :P

'The Last of Us' is overrated. (Relax, it's just an opinion)

Just completed 'The Last of Us.' It wasn't awesome but still a very good & enjoyable game. Knowing the speakers of my TV got fucked long time ago, I wish I had used my headphones sooner because I just did that with the last part of the game & the whole experience was different. Couldn't hear music & many other important sounds through the TV speakers. But that's not the reason that the game wasn't awesome. The game had these repetitive parts. The characters weren't that lovable. Ellie was likeable & Joel too I guess but I didn't really feel that they are cool characters. The story progression was slow given the length of the game. Some stealth parts were good but there weren't many stealth options. There were no tutorials for certain things that I thought were important. I liked the ending though. My game of the year is still 'God of War: Ascension.'

Da Vinci's Demons -

OK, I just happen(ed?) to see "Da Vince's Demons" and it was all good except for the fact that the main character (Leonardo Da Vince) is portrayed as a straight man. I really hated this. I know it's not 100 % confirmed that he was gay but they should have showed him at least as a bisexual if not gay. It's a big budget TV Show so I believe the stupid mainstream audience & the director &/or writers probably think it's unwise to make the main character gay in a big show.  The shitty thing is the only character showed as gay is shown as evil in the beginning. Even if he's not evil, he gets killed early on. Thanks to homophobic audience and pussy directors and writers, gay people are widely ignored. If they wanted to show straight sex to straight audience they could have done that with Leo's friends. Why make Leo attracted to girls only, I don't understand. Or maybe I do. I don't know if I should continue watching it.

Comic and Game

WTF??? Just read Talon #7. What the hell, man?
Spoilers:
First of all I hadn't liked the way that chic entered this book but it wasn't that bad. Then I hated the way they made Sebastian Clark evil. This doesn't seem planned if you've read the previous issues. It seemed like he was going to help Calvin take out the talons one by one and they just changed the story at the last minute and now this? Bane kills Calvin Rose??? He manages to break free from Batman's "inescapable" cuffs but Bane kills him like it was just a tree branch. I don't want to hate this comic but worse things keep happening. There could have been other twists but twists here are just senseless.

I've stopped playing 'The Walking Dead' I just can't decide between Carly and Doug : ( If there's any chance Carly can be my romantic partner later on, I would save her then but if not then I think I'd save Doug. I like them both though Carly can get too serious at times. I like the way she looks sideways. That's beautiful but Doug is cool too. I like him both ways as a straight guy liking a cool guy and as a gay guy liking a cute guy since I'm bi : P If there was an option of both being a romantic option later on, I'd choose Doug. But this is not Dragon Age. I know I can choose one and then the other in the next playthrough but I don't think I'd be playing this game anytime soon after I complete it. It's cool but I would hate to see Shawn dying again and again etc etc. So I've stopped since one or two weeks...

Want to play Injustice so bad.  

BTW, Superman looked hot in beard in Justice League 19. But it was a fake beard. Wish he grows up one, if he can. He looks really hot in beard.

Impresions on God of War: Ascension

Alright, I completed God of War: Ascension. It was an awesome game. Another epic game in the series. The last boss battle was really epic. Almost as epic as Cronos fight from GOW3. The first boss made the game 9/10 for me quickly. It took time to get accustomed to the new controls however but once I did, they actually made more sense for me. I liked the idea of grabbing with shoulder buttons and reserving the face buttons for punches and kicks (I mean circle for secondary weapons instead for grabbing) The game got 10/10 for me by the time I reached the snake trains. It also got 0/10 for me when I was doing 'Trials of Archimedes' But the overall experience was great. So my overall  score would be 9/10 or maybe 9.5. I do wish there were more boss fights and some memorable music though.

I like Stig very much. Maybe even more than the new Director but wanted to make that meme for fun.

Evernote is overrated...atleast for now.

So, less than a month ago (if my memory serves me right) I got a new phone. It's HTC Desire C. I love it. It's like a mini tab. I'm going to get Google Nexus 7 soon though, but for now this phone is working like a nice tab. I've been addicted to some cool apps (recently alchemy). But what I want to post about is the app called 'Evernote' that almost everyone seems to be crazy about. OK, I downloaded it on this phone, & my desktop & installed it on my laptop too. For now, I just find it another software to jot my notes to. I don't really find it as useful as people are sucking it's big dick. The only things I think are helpful for me are, synching of files on server & putting a different kind of stuff in one place. Other than that I don't really find it that special. OK, it has this OCR thing but unfortunately, I don't have a shelf for my books, my DVDs are usually scattered & my Video Games are in different dark place, so I don't know how to use this feature. I tried photographing a business card & a handwritten note but apparently it didn't recognize the text since it didn't come up in search results. I still prefer windows notepads & words to keep huge text info. I synch them on my computer using Mesh as much as I hate microsoft. One thing that pisses me off is that when I read reviews, I notice that people tend to compare it to actual notepads & papers as if they've never used computer note pads in their entire life. "Oh, how it saves papers..." & "I don't need to keep paper scraps." or  "No more office files on the table." As if Evernote is the only way you can keep notes digitally. Now, I've made a few notes on it such as for clothes, like which shirt should go with which pair of pants but I don't really see how this would come in handy as I feel I may not even care at times about my note when I want to change into clothes after shower. I've made other notes about other stuff but I really don't see anything special happening to them. So the only good things for me for now are:
 1. Accessing notes from anywhere (sp on my cell) &
2. Putting different kinds of stuff in once place.
 I think Evernote may come in handy when I'm out doing bird photography as it can keep location data, so I can remember what bird I saw where & when. But it would suck to type a lot of info on a cell. I've tried looking for examples on the internet but I haven't found any that would make me feel that Evernote is different than other notepads.

Deadpool #1 -SPOILERS ALERT!!-

Spoilers for Deadpool #1 (November 2012, Marvel Now crap)

OK, I'm not a huge Marvel fan but I love reading a few of their books. I'm loving the current Daredevil run which seems to have stopped, probably because of the mini series by Brian Bendis. The Punisher is good too, specially the last few issues wre good. So, I was waiting for this new 'Deadpool' since the character has always seemed interesting to me but I never read any of his comics. The point one I tried reading, bored me so I couldn't read further. But I thought this could be my beginning. Well, after waiting for a month or more, I finally read it a while ago. What I hate about Marvel is indulgence of other characters in a comic. And so it wasn't Deadpool we see in the beginning. It's that fucking Captain America I really fucking hate.
 Before I get any further, let me explain why I hate cap'n US.
I love America but I hate patriotic people. Patriotic people of ANY country piss me off. One of the reasons is that apparently they tend to hate the rest of the world. The other reason I hate him is that he is too goody good to be real. This is one of the reasons I hate John Cena. It just makes him so boring and annoying.

Anyway, after his ass is off, we get to read more boring crap & about some S.H.I.E.L.D crap. Probably another of Marvel characters. When we finally think we're gonna see deadpool, when some sword cuts up a cartoony dino that even a sweeper isn't afraid of, we see Thor coming out of the belly. I think Marvel either forgot that this is a solo character comic, since ninety percent of their comics are about groups with half of the comics being about 'X-Men & 'Avengers', or they are too desperate to sell their other comics. Later, the comic did get interesting but the last letter "by deadpool" pissed me of a little more, specially when it was mentioned that Tony Moore is 'OK'. I love Tony Moore. I think he's my most favorite artist. OK, I don't like his art colored but that's not his fault but I had stopped reading 'The Walking Dead' when I had found out that the artist had changed after issue 6. Jacen Burrows used to be my most favorite first but after reading, 'The Walking Dead' Moore became my #1. Anyway, I'm still going to read issue two of deadpool before I decide to stop reading this crap or continue.

Darksiders 2 - unfairness

This post was going be about something else but I guess? I've forgotten that or am too lazy to even remember what I was going to write so I'm going to post about something else. I wanted to mention how I hate it that some bosses in Darksiders 2 come right after the other. It has happened twice or more since I've been playing. So it happened with this "Champion" called Gnashor :( We have to find three stones first that require visiting some areas, platforming & doing kiddy puzzles. I wish if a sub boss had to come, it was during first & second visits for the stones that wake the Champion but no. I had all my health too, most of the time. So all the pots, graves etc I broke, I couldn't take more health & wrath potions because I never or rarely used any. But during the last stone stage the game throws this beetle towards us, that is a sub-boss. I had to use most of my potions on this fight :(. It sucks that you can't carry more than 5 of each potion & there hasn't been any way to upgrade your carry size. So when I put all the stones on the skull or come out to do that, I can't even back track to get the potions lying around for me. This makes the fight very hard. In his first form it's easy to bring him down but in his second form, though I bring his health down quickly & keep dodging but he keeps regenerating & I feel I get very little time to grab his face when he roars. And I have only a few potions left thanks to that crappy sub-boss, no backtracking & the game throwing bosses at you one after the other. The crows do help but I'm low on wrath potion too, so I have to wait for it to get full. This isn't a very difficult fight IMO but these things fuck the whole fun of a game. The story is a drag too. They've made him an errand boy. He's Death for fuck's sake. He should be taller than other heavy looking giant characters too but instead he looks like a dwarf when he's talking to other characters & at times he seems too polite.

Darksiders 2 on GeForce 210

It's the same day but I wanted to create a separate post for this. I'm playing Darksiders 2 on PC & Dark Sector on PS3. DS is a pretty cool game. At least it was till the first 6 chapters. There are just too many zombies now & very little humans. It's still fun. I won't say it's underrated because I'd give it 7.5/10 too like Gamespot but this friend of mine hadn't cared about it much. I'm not the only one who thinks it's a decent game. It's a really cool game if not awesome.
Anyway this post is more about Darksiders 2. I loved the original Darksiders. It was more like God of War. This one is more like Prince of Persia. The platforming like wall run, side wall run, jumping beams & even combat music remind me of POP series. I wonder if the developer is different. That doesn't mean I hate it. I love pop series especially the 'Sands of Time' Trilogy.  Darksiders 2 is a cool game. I like Death more than War too. War was so expressionless. You could hardly see his face. They put more emphasis on his armor. Although Death has a mask on & it's a cool one, he seems to have some personality. However, I like the gameplay of original Darksiders more. I also don't like enemies lurking everywhere you go. I love platforming, puzzles & the music though. The characters seem nice. The skill system & the outfits are a nice idea too. I also like that we have this bird as our guide. The horse for now is usually for the huge fields but I don't miss him that much. I also like it that we get to use the gun early one & the one with the unlimited ammo at that. It doesn't do much damage but hey, you do need a ranged weapon ASAP in games like these.

About how it plays on my card:
While I played the original on my PS3, I'm playing this one on PC. I still have GeForce 210 512MB SDDR3. Games like Saints Row the Third & The Witcher 2 ran slowly on on this card. But Darksiders 2 seems to run smoothly. It also takes small space as compared to the other two games I've mentioned. It's taking 5.45 GB on my hard disk. At first I thought this might be a demo or a short version but it's not. OK, I've had a few problems. First of all it's the frame rate. I don't know what's going on. Either it's too fast for a human eye or not so smooth. The camera/aim is faster. I can slow it down but it seems the game play is kinda faster too. Not too fast but a little. Or maybe it's trying not to stop in the middle & jumps off after some brief pause I don't notice. But it's not that bad that you can't play. Some people might not even notice it. It's obviously not on high settings. It's toned down. Somewhere b/w medium & low settings. The other problems are related to the PC & not the card itself. I don't know if it's same on consoles but there seems to be some kinda collision detection problem or Death doesn't 'recognize' some surfaces or even enemies. In combats, 90 percent of the time, he attacks at every direction BUT the enemies'.  It's a bit hard to make him focus on enemies. He keeps attacking away from them & because of this keeps hacking & moving away & I have to bring him back closer to the enemy. Secondly he doesn't 'know' whether to wall run up or run the side of the wall. Half of the time he keeps doing the opposite. I mean when I want him to wall run up to grab the 'grabbable' structure above, he'd run sideways on the wall & vice versa. The hints/tutorials seem attached to the area. I was side jumping a wall when the game told me to hit A (Yes, I'm using a shitbox controller) to jump off to run on the adjacent wall. When once I failed to touch a wall & instead was in the air, the game still told me to jump off the wall :P  So over all it's a good experience. Maybe not as great as the original game but it's very close to that experience. I'd recommend this to everyone who enjoyed original Darksiders & those who enjoy POP games.

Jason Todd - Origins.

I was reading the #0 of 'Red Hood and the Outlaws' just a few minutes ago. When I had started it some hours back, I had to put it 'down' because my friends were here. But I had loved the way it had started. Anyway, so I resumed a few minutes ago & finished reading it. I'm not really happy how the story later continued & ended. Jason Todd as Red Hood is an anti-hero & not a villain. Although the story started nicely with his parents being shitty, but later they showed him stealing stuff too. This kinda story is usually written for villains IMO. OK, I know that Catwoman steals too & she's not a villain, rather an anti-hero or anti-heroine if that's a word or so. But he spent his time with Batman as Robin. Now, I haven't read much on him as Robin but Batman's side kick can't be an anti-hero let alone a villain. He may have had his moods but I don't believe he may have stolen anything or was never happy as Robin. I also believe he may have turned as an anti-hero because he later blamed Batman for not saving him. That anger could have made him an anti-hero. Anyway, this was one of my fav series but it's been boring for me since issue 10 because of aliens & spaceships. This issue was different as it was the origins but the next would continue the story of Koriand'r & her sister which means more aliens. I really hope they end this story soon. The only comic I enjoy reading that has aliens is 'Green Lantern' because the story is really nice & the mythology that Geoff Johns is creating. I love Johns. He's a great writer & story teller. There are other DC comics I read that have aliens too like Grifter, Voodoo (probably ended/would end with issue 0) & Action Comics but they have gotten boring for me too but I don't wanna give up yet. As for Superman, this third writer is way better than the previous two but I don't blame George Perez because Grant Morrison & DC never told him what was going on in Action Comics. He didn't even know first that there was another superman comic going on. Superman would get more interesting for me if they take him back to Smallville, make Lana Lang Clark's girlfriend & make the series more like the early seasons of the TV show Smallville where people would get intro trouble because of meteors & kryptonite & clark would go save them etc. The Metropolis, aliens & Lois Lane are so boring for me that I might give up reading this shit.
Anyway, I wanted to post Jason Todd's pic as Robin from issue 0 (2012) He looks hot in this pic. Looks so much better than that jackass Damian. I just wish Batman would feel the same ;) I really wanted a kiss between them but that's not possible off course.

Feminists Suck!

I was just reading some IGN crap on comics and as usual Mr. Joey Esposido showed his hatred over sex and violence in comics & further said he's concerned why it's done for 'predominant male audience.' I hate his opinions since he tends to get feminist. Either he doesn't have a penis or he doesn't have balls. Catwoman isn't a porn magazine. The sex & violence was done in a story way. It seemed necessary. What is wrong with showing some sex for male audience if there are tons of other comics where women aren't shown as sex symbols. Why should they only care about female audiences? Batman & Catwoman have been shown to have feelings for each other since a very long time. Either he never read those comics or his memory & brain have been relaunched along with DC's reboot. Feminists talk against men and they think they are doing the right thing & nobody says that they should be blocked but when men speak their mind and sometimes it's against women, they are considered sexists or misogynists. Sexism is different. It's like considering the other gender inferior. It's not talking against women or showing sex. Next, I read at comicvine, which is a really cool site about comics & have better reviews and cool features, that some guy at twitter whose id was MisterE2009 or so has been blocked by some comic feminists and others. If we don't agree with someone, it doesn't mean we should block their ass. I haven't read his tweets so I don't know what he was saying but here people talk about freedom of speech and there they get annoyed and block someone because they got offended. I don't see men blocking off feminists. It is actually feminists who are making men hate women not sexists. If some people talk about equal rights, then why do they tend to take lion's share instead? I really don't understand them but I don't expect THEM to understand either. I used to believe in equal rights for women & still do but I also hate it when feminists become sexists. Feminists get offended if Catwoman is shown half naked but women enjoy it when a man is shown naked such as in Gambit #1. BTW I enjoyed them both. I mean their nudity too. Catwoman's origins in Batman: Year one is shown as a prostitute. And although her history is revamped, they are showing some relevance to it. So what's wrong if someone who's some how related to a prostitute is shown half naked. What's wrong with it that some female characters are shown sexy. Do all the females have to be non sexy? If so then why enjoy male nudity and go against female nudity? Not all comic characters are shown nude. Batgirl isn't shown that way. Then there are other female characters. If a a few are shown for some other audience, people have a problem with it. Feminists are so selfish. They only think about their rights and don't care about others. I'm so pissed today lol. I think I hate some feminists more than homophobes or maybe I hate them equally. And if feminists are more stupider than I think, then this blog may soon get blocked too for freedom of speech.

Fish Point Sucks

Yesterday, We went to Hyd for some shopping & all. I bought a new scanner, got new RAM, since the old one  died, bought new clothes, new games & a shitbox controller for my desktop. There were more hot guys at the PC/CD shop.

We decided to have food at a hotel called 'Indus Fish Point.' This entry is mostly about the review of that shitty place. My experience there was almost shitty. Two of my friends agreed with me too. Maybe I was expecting a lot from it since we were comparing it to KFC or maybe it was shitty anyway.

First of all, it was a hot day & there was no AC in the hotel room. The toilet was ok too. The stairs felt like they could snatch and fall (I won't say at any time). There were some planks before the stairs ended.

They made us wait a lot. I don't remember waiting this much at any Hyd hotel/restaurant. Even 'Pizza Point' which is another shitty place was quicker than this. The guys with me were throwing stuff on the floor :( I hated that. I don't know whether to blame them or the management for not providing us anything which we can use for junk.

The food was good though. Not awesome but good. But I won't waste my time again in this shitty place

just to eat an everage-well tasting food. In these kinda hotels, the food is usually cheap but not here. :(

Luckily I didn't have to pay. The dude, who I have a crush on, paid the bill. Poor guy. Everything was so expensive. We could have a better experience at KFC. Almost same or a little more price but better environment. But my number one place for food at Hyd is 'Pizza Hut' off course. I got a pizza & garlic bread for me from takeaway later on.
Other than above mentioned difficulties & discomforts I hated being around Muslims. I couldn't take all that religious crap from people around me. So over all it was a very shitty experience. I'm never coming here again & I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone but at least I know what are some shitty places at Hyd. I call these mistakes as lessons learned.

Later at Shehbaz hotel, the place we all love to relax for a cup of tea, some desi food & a place to relax or even read a book, wasn't that good an experience this time because one of our friends forgot to order the food. So instead we just had tea & had to leave early. I was really pissed at this. I usually wanna spend more of my time here because this place is perfect for relaxing after a long & tiring journey at Hyd. Other than this, I wanted to capture this cute guy on my cam but some jackass came & stood & sat in front of him. I tried my best to take his photo but couldn't take a proper one :( I'm sharing some here:

Bat shower

 

So Alfred can see Bruce, naked? Wow, Lucky man.

E3- My fav conference

This could be my first e3 post here. I had talked about it last year too but maybe somewhere else. I may be a Sony lover but I try not to become a fanboy when judging E3 conferences. I don't think last time I had said that Sony was the best & the rest sucked. But I don't remember much & let me talk about this time. IMO Sony nailed it :P Out of the three consoles, Sony had the best conference. Microsoft came a second for me & that's all. But if I was to include EA & Ubisoft press conferences too, I'd say UBI won :P My scores for these conferences are:

Microsoft 4/10
EA: 1.5/10
Sony: 8.5/10
Ubisoft: 9/10
Nintendo: 1/10

Microsoft:
I loved the new trailer/gameplay/footage for my most fav game Tomb Raider. There were some other good games too but I found the rest boring.

EA:
The only trailer I remember liking was Need For Speed: Most wanted. Even though it's my most fav racing game, I wasn't much excited at the end of the footage. The emphasis was on multiplayer. Something I still haven't properly experienced and I was confused why they chose the title 'Most Wanted' too soon, considering the game was popular both with fans and critics.

Sony:
I loved almost everything Sony showed. Loved God of War: Ascension footage. They have seemed to gone higher than GOW3 in graphics. This is the best looking Minotaur ever. Although, I haven't read anything on any elephant guy in Greek Mythology, I loved the boss. 'The Last of Us' was mind blowing & I enjoyed 'Beyond' too. I missed 'The Last Guardian' & 'Infamous 3'. Also, they could have showed more of 'Hitman: Absolution' and 'Bioshock: Infinite' It was also good to know that you can get classic games on PS Vita, though I'm playing TR1 on PSP nowadays.

I had missed Ubisoft live because of some net problem but thankfully I could then sleep for an hour before waking up for Sony. So I watched it at IGN later on. The rest of the live stuff at gametrailers.com. Anyway, so I enjoyed 'Assassin's Creed 3' footage very much. 'Watch Dogs', the one showed at the end? was mind blowing. For me, Splinter Cell is dead so that was a disappointment. But at least the footage I saw was better than what Microsoft had shown. So other than a few little things, I didn't find anything I didn't like.

As for Nintendo, I'm sorry this time I didn't like it very much. The only thing I liked was third party games like Batman, Assassin's Creed & Zombie U. I don't know what's the purpose of an HD console when the games are as shitty looking as those on wii.

I'm still watching the live stuff on GT & will be watching their backstage stuff. I'm usually unable to watch all the vids I want because of some site problems they have but hopefully I'd be able to see many good trailers. I'm still dying to watch God of War:A again.

Other than this I've been playing L.A. Noire on PS3 but I'm not going to talk about it tonight as I've already said enough. So that's all for me. I've been doing some bird photography lately & I usually post my photography at flickr, I might post a few pics here ;)
