Will Mists of Pandaria Kill WoW?


I've been meaning to make a video on this, but in the mean time, I will write about it instead.

I haven't heard great things about Mists of Pandaria from fellow gamers, and a lot seem to be ending their WoW subscriptions because of the expansion. Many said the top reason was because an expansion about Pandas is just god damn ridiculous. What do you guys think? Will you be leaving WoW to try another game such as Tera or GW2? Or are you leaving because the expansion has nothing too great to offer?

On a personal note, Mists of Pandaria isn't too appealing to me. The only thing that jumps out are the landscape designs and also how players can level with other players from different realms, meaning that Azeroth won't appear to be a ghost town as you're leveling up. Blizzard is hyping up the Pandas a lot, but to be honest, most of us aren't even too thrilled about them in the first place. What started out as an April fools joke is now turning to reality. That's just not right!

So what CAN Blizz do to satisfy WoW players?
*As much as Blizz hates the idea, and as much as a pain in the ass it would be to develop, maybe Blizz should really consider Guild/Player housing. A lot of their subscribers have been asking about this for years. It could possibly bring back a lot of players.

*The honor system has to be changed. Your honor should be granted based off of damage done/healing done AS WELL AS specific BG goals (capturing a flag, defending a node, etc).

*Blizz needs to add a new component to the game. I know I mentioned this in a previous video, but it is true. PvP and PvE is enjoyable, but once we have completed the content and have to keep up on it with more than 1 alt, it can get extremely repetitive at a fast rate.  Blizzard needs to add another component besides PvP and PvE, or they need to add new ways to get equivalent gear in a similar matter. For instance, bring back world PvP, and make it possible to get honor gear that way. We also need something to do when we are just damn tired of questing, dungeon/raid grinding, BG grinding, and farming for mats.

*Change. Veteran WoW players seem to get bored of this game at a fast rate lately. All of my friends who have been playing since Pre-BC are on and off with this game, meaning they will play for 6 months, and then ditch it for 6 months because it has nothing new to offer. Blizz needs to spice it up and take some risks. They need to do major revamps that will keep players lured in for a long time. They should consider mounted combat  (players would have a an action bar of about 4 of their best moves, and their mount would have something specific, similar to a racial), they should consider character model revamps to enhance the graphics, a lot more customization, and etc!

More on Halo 4!


Hope you guys are as excited for this game as I am! Saw this video and thought of y'all. Definitely check it out if you can't wait for the Holiday season 2012 just because of this game! Remember, this is from the beta so it is subject to change by the time the game is released :) Enjoy! 

PS: Will be making a video soon. I feel so out of the loop currently and have to catch up on my shit! Hope you guys haven't forgotten about me :)

Guild Wars 2...Kudos.

I know a lot of people have hated on my Top 10 Game Releases of  2012. I admit that I missed some games in the countdown, due to wanting to rush through and get it out to you guys ASAP. Lesson learned: Take your time for the quality, rather than rushing and forcing something that is partially inaccurate. My apologies because Guild Wars 2 honestly should have been on there, and ranked somewhere in the top 3.

I really am debating buying this game when it's released. This guy in this video is either a good salesman, or the game actually does seem kickass.  What games will you be purchasing as 2012 keeps rolling on?

Cheers.

Video-Game Juggling.

Between Skyward Sword, WoW, and League of Legends, I've had plenty of games to keep me busy, and yet I still do want to play more Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, and would LOVE to try Fall Out. I don't know how I'm going to maintain any sort of social life once Diablo III, Mists of Pandaria, and Halo 4 come out /sigh.

Speaking of Halo 4, if you guys haven't heard/seen IGN's article, the Halo 4 Team has a new composer who is doing kickass things with the music scores! Neil Davidge will be replacing Halo's much loved composer, Marty O'Donnell. Neil has played the Halo games since 2001, having a profound connection with Master Chief. His music thus far is moving, and it will give the game a cinematic feel, while provoking tons of emotion. Check it out, and listen to the music sampler. I was moved.

Shit's getting serious.




Skyward Sword so far has been a fantastic, addicting game. It fuses elements from previous Zelda games such as Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time. The music pieces are extremely amazing, as many are dramatically composed and orchestrated to make you feel like you're doing something important. The story is clear cut, but emphasized in a way that makes you absorbed. Lovin' it! 
 
Speaking of Zelda. I am going to a tattoo parlor on Wednesday to hopefully get some advice on designing a Zelda tattoo for my left shoulder blade. I'm debating getting a half sleeve, incorporating some gaming in there since it has always been a huge factor of my life.  Check out some of these tattoos! Crazy! I don't think I'd go the Mario route, but some of these bring back some heavy memories!

First Look into Halo 4 !


How many of you are excited!? *Raises hand* I am SO excited for this game. I think it's going to be one of the best yet. It's nice to have a team that is so dedicated! If you haven't seen the video yet, make sure you check it out.  A lot of new graphic changes (which makes me drool) and it looks like the game has really stepped up a notch! Multi-player maps aren't copies of the campaign maps, but rather specifically created with a competitive approach.  Check this video out if you're a halo fan! Hoo-ah!
