08/09/2013 - The Last of Us Platinum and Bamboo Blade

This is a late post since I forgot to change it from a draft (derrrrrp).My bad!

IT'S OVER! IT'S FINALLY OVER! This morning I finally finished the multiplayer on The Last of Us and promptly began playing Demon's Souls. It's kind of sad really, considering I did incredibly well on my last six or so matches. What really sucks is that I finished Week 12 with less than 85 survivors... Which isn't enough to get the skull mask. Lame, but, oh well. Here's a photo!

The Last of Us - Platinum Trophy (It can't be for nothing) - FINALLY!

I'm hoping that when they release the DLC for this game that it is purely singleplayer content - maybe explaining a bit more about when Joel met Tess or some of the past between Bill and Frank, that would be cool right?

But, this is Naughty Dog we're talking about, and considering what the DLC trophies were like for Uncharted 3, we probably know how it will actually pan out. Getting the platinum trophy also means that now I have to write a review on the game, not sure how well I will keep my polite demeanour when it comes to reviewing the multiplayer, but I'll try!

As I said before, I've started Demon's Souls and though the difficulty is incredibly punishing, it's still very much enjoyable. I was actually tempted to do it via the glitching route and duplication which makes the game much easier, but now I'm not so sure about doing it that way. The main thing that is tempting me to do it, is how easy it is to execute the duplicating glitch.

Another thing to look forward to is that I've ordered my copy of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD from the UK and got a deal to save £5 on the Prima Walkthrough. The only reason I decided to buy the walkthrough was because of the exceptional quality of Prima's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Legendary Edition walkthrough.

I'll make sure to upload a picture once the package has arrived! Unfortunately, I still don't have enough funds to build my new PC, which is sort of hindering my plans considering how limited I am with the functionality of this laptop.

Finally, I started watching Bamboo Blade! Unfortunately, I couldn't find a very good version so the subtitles are not spectacular, but it does not take much away from the plot. I would prefer 720p or 1080p, but I can cope with 480p if I have to. My girlfriend is trying to get me to watch Cowboy Bebop next and I think I've given in. I wouldn't normally, but it has been reviewed many times as an 'anime masterpiece' so I don't have much to lose.

Speaking of my girlfriend, it's her birthday tomorrow! I'm not sure I'll get much work done on the reviews, but I'll make sure to post a daily update as always (and not forget to change it from draft status).

Time to Take Blogging Seriously!

Hi guys!

Well after several failed attempts at taking blogging seriously (namely Wordpress and Tumblr, ugh) I've decided to create a Blogger account!

The posts on this blog will be varying from updates for my new website that is under development, 100%/Trophy reviews, discussions and general significant events that happen in my life... The last one is probably the least frequent!

Anyway, to further elaborate on these points, here goes:

- Website Updates

It has come to my attention that the various websites that gamers use for walkthroughs and information are starting to become rarer. The main genre that is taking a hit is RPGs, which seem to be confined almost entirely to Wikia sites or resource sites that have not been updated for several months or even years.

This struck me as a bit of a problem, since some of the most popular games are the older ones such as the Final Fantasy, Suikoden and Breath of Fire series. Based on this information I have decided to construct a website as a one-stop website that will contain all the information required to get the most out of these games. The information will be thoroughly analysed and tested before release with high-standard documentation, images and videos to help every visitor to the site.

- 100%/Trophy Reviews

This was another personal decision based on the current circulation of media around the internet. Too many people are buying games or formulating opinions generated by the larger gaming sites. To be blunt, this annoys me. I understand that analysing the information they have accumulated is great, but buying a game based solely on what someone else has said about it is ridiculous. Now, I know this covers the entire reviewing circle, but hear me out.

I will be providing in depth reviews of games only after I have achieved 100% of the trophies on PS3 and played both online (if applicable) and offline modes thoroughly. This should give players more of an insight into what to expect of the game if they are not buying it directly after release.

- Discussions

As you might have gathered from my Facebook, Twitter and Google+ profile, I'm quite a large fan of anime. A great concept with anime and manga is the huge amount of theories that the fans from all over the world formulate and post on the various forums around the internet. I find some of the theories to be incredibly interesting and exciting to read (even the crazy ones such as the ones surrounding Sabo in One Piece). So if possible I'd like to provide an area to discuss individual anime episodes and manga chapters as well as whole series and find out what you think about the current happenings in these crazy universes.

TL;DR - It's worth following this blog, so do it for me, please?
