Hello once again fellow Gamespotters. Darrogamer06 here bringing you another text blog full of the same old stuff (whether you like it or not).
As far as what I have been playing for the last few days, not a whole lot to tell you the truth. I played a bit more RS:V with Denis, Rich and Ish on Sunday there so that was cool and SOTN for the last couple of days also. I somewhat starting to like SOTN more and more as I play it and looking forward to getting into the Inverted castle when the time comes but want to explore every nook and cranny of the normal castle before I do that since I plan to get the seeker achievement (explore 200.6% of the castle).
Also, it will come to a shock to some of you or maybe all but I haven't touched God of War II since Sunday I believe and just don't really know the reason why. Maybe its because I am dreading getting to the point where it could end up going horribly wrong for me and that the next layer/part won't work hence the copy I burned was all for nothing in the end. Will try it out later today (it is now Thursday as I type this), as I believe I am close to the point it occurs.
Also, as for Darro's Delights. As you may know that the feature started off on Thursdays but for the last few weeks they have been on different days. Well, I have decided I am going to move it to Fridays now since I don't have work that day and thus have time to do it. Once again, please leave your questions for Psychonauts if you have any, as I have received a few thus far. I also will be doing a video review on Wario Ware: Smooth Moves for Kenshin's new gaming show, which you you guys should check out since I think it is cool and has the potential to be something great. It will be on here also for you guys to watch as well as the next episdoe of Mega Ultimate Gaming Show.
Anyway, today I decided to get the expansion pack for my favourite game of 2006, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion entitled The Shivering Isles. It was 2400 points and had to spend £21.25 in order to get it. Had to first get the 2000 points for £17 and unfortunately, since I was still 80 points short, had to fork out another £4.25 to get 500 points so I would have enough then to get it. I have now come to realise how bogus and screwed up this whole marketplace points business is. What is the matter in just having normal prices on the games instead of points? Sony did it anyway and believe that is fine. But an ideal solution for this in my eyes is that you enter in the amount of points they want and the price for those points is calculated then and thus you pay whatever those points cost. Sure some people would like to get 5000 points for so many pounds but it would be nice to have that point input option too.
Anyway, got it this morning and left it on for it to download, as I went into work and thankfully, it downloaded ok when I got home. To tell you the truth, I hardly played the Shivering Isles content as of now since I decided to finish off the Knights of the Nine questline (which I enjoyed) first so I have that out of the way. I played around 10 mins or so of the Shivering Isles and the world looks pretty cool (especially the sky) and totally different to what Tamriel looks like. Unfortunately, the game froze on me anyway but I have a save somewhere nearby anyway. Its a good enough reason for me to get back into Oblivion anyway since I loved playing that game and playing it for around 4 hours today just goes to show that 1 year on I still like it as much as I did a year ago.
Before I go, I probably be doing a video blog this weekend showing off the PS3 console and talking about with some gameplay footage. Don't expect it to be long, as I kind of want it under the 15 min mark at most. So anyway, DD episode 9 Friday, a video review for Wario Ware: Smooth Moves and a video blog all coming in the next few days. Man, am I spoiling you guys?
Until then, keep on gaming and ROCK ON!
