The Darkness

I was a fool to listen to review I should have just gone with my gut instinct and got this game when it came out. I honestly love this game but I was also a fool to attempt it on hard on the first time round because this game is HARD! if i get within 10 feet of someone I die instantly so no executions for me and at a distance if you stand in the open for a few second your dead…

ok I probably play it again tonight because its not really a day time game. But i’m not going to “review” this game becasue A no one cares now and B you’ve heard it all before.

its just the detail is amazing and the game is just plain fun even though I died on the first 2 workers (first people you kill) twice for i could kill them thats how F***ing hard this is.

back to work

well not really Its only really revision for the exams,

Well considering I haven’t blogged in 3 whole days I think its time for an update.

On my days off i’ve been playing Mass effect, which seems like it going to be a good game just have to wait and see because so far i’ve only done the first 2 story missions.

along with mass effect i’m knee deep in Crackdown trying to do the achievements, which once again are very fun to do if not hard and its a bit unfair that you need to pay 800 points to be able to get the last 350 they could of at least reduced it.

but this blog post isn’t about crack down of mass effect its about Operation darkness

now this game was a yea it might be good… gut I’ll never see it because its never getting released. BUT according to rumors from Atlas staff it is to be region free!? ok thats a bit random for a 360 game but whatever.

but then last week the demo popped onto xbox live marketplace so all i can say it YAY!

basically you need to love JRPG’s to even want to get this game but who cares I am. first lets get the bad out of the way first.

ok the graphics are poor but I really do care about graphics it could be 8 bit for all I care.

the controls can be a bit of a bitch to get used to its actually easier to scroll though the enemy units rather than actually aiming. but trying to see the enemy units can be almost impossible because they just blend in with the background (ok they’re wearing camo but c’mon).

but thats about all the bad. ok there are more things I could bitch about but I think the problems lie with more with the fact that the demo takes place on mission six so theres no real tutorial apart from the basics.

oh wait there was one last thing when the enemy is moving the camera angle will randomly go to another location facing a random direction so you have no idea which enemy unit has gone where…

but hopefully these will be fixed in the real game because it clearly states that this game is a demo and NOT the final version. so it sounds like a bit of a beta test for me.

ok lets get on with the good.

first the story, the game is set in 1944 during closing parts of world war II (well the final year) and your mission is to kill Hitler (simple no) bit it has a bit of a shadow hearts twist in it with a few wear wolfs and zombies thrown in.

another good point is that’s not a classic stand in a row and attack JRPG its a bit of a cross between Hidden and Dangerous and Final Fantasy Tactics so basically it takes all the build the team idea from H&D along with it single player (you control all characters aspect) and throw in some turn based to take out some of the headache of it (and before you say anything I loved H&D but it did have some problems with single player)

so this looks like it going to be a low rated amazing game (I bet 4/10) and the reason will be “its not a next gen game” well I say does it have to be?

oh and someone else needs to get this game I want to play it on-line co-op

well its looks like i still have a wait because its not out until 24th June… (in the US)

well heres the insane trailer that’ll ether put you off it forever or make you want to buy it more

ok and on a final note I’ve now get my placement sorted I will be working at Data design interactive for the next 12 months ok its not the worlds best games developer but you need to start somewhere right and I don’t really care who the company is too much its experience in an ever evolving field of computing.

and one last footnote the black mages III album came out over a month ago!!! WTF how in god name did i miss that one.
