The Old Republic

July 25th, 2010 Mike No comments



The Old Republic: a Star Wars endeavor

The Revenge of the Sith- 3500 years before the actual movie

A lot of you reading this would have never heard of Star Wars if Lucas didn’t make the first 3 episodes from 1999 onwards. Sure the originals were amazing but then 1980? Wow that is way too long. A lot of people haven’t really cared for Star Wars until Revenge of the Sith came out. Well, that was my first Star Wars experience. Then I realised how big the whole thing was. There are people who would literally die if the entire series wasn’t completed.  I personally thought they were gay. Whoever, I do understand why the whole thing was so intriguing. I mean if WoW was to stop tomorrow, kids in the future would be like “What is World of Warcraft?” Star Wars and WoW have a lot in common- fights, races, amazing storyline and most of all-their own little universes. From Arthas to  Anakin, heroes come and gone, the fall of the good and the rise of evil- both had amazing stories. Now Star Wars plans to enter the MMORPG world with The Old Republic. How would this game turn out?

The whole thing takes place approximately 300 years after the Jedi civil war in Knights of the Old Republic.it is the same old shit where the Sith try and topple over the entire Jedi. in the movies, there were only 2 Sith that made a mess of things but apparently there are Sith warriors…shitty Sith you could call them…but damn a room full of red sabers is pretty cool.

Frankly speaking I only watched the movie and played a couple of games. I couldn’t be bothered to read the books or want to know anything that happened before all the important shit in the movies. So, the entire story is simply a precursor to what we already know. Hmmm , would I want to play this? I mean, everyone can relate to Darth Vader, Obi-Wan, Yoda, the bald black Jedi, Luke and his incest moment with Lea and of course Han. But this new game has none of those faggots!! Now why would I want to fight some unbelivevably strong Sith or Jedi mutherf***er that I don’t even know. At least WoW has the elements of Arthas, the Lich King, Thrall, Jaina and all those other people that WoW players can relate to. In Old Republic…who the f*** is there that I know of? Although the game does have some really cool features, it is the storyline gets people hooked to it.

The classes in Old Republic fall under 2 different types- with a lightsaber or without one. There are apparently Jedi Consulars and Sith Inquisitors who know how to use a saber but are skilled in something else. So that means that there are 2 sides and 4 different classes each.

sure don’t need to tell ya which ones Jedi and which ones Sith eh..

Ok…After reading what they can do- THREE times, I still don’t get it. Either I am retarded (true) or they are just trying to include some random bullshit classes (also true). The one cool thing I found about the game is the trailer, and the fact that there are 13 planets to do whatever in. Yea, that’s a whole lot of travelling to do. Moreover, there are gonna be spacefights or something to do with space travel.

Moreover, your own story revolves around how you interact with people- they can be your best friends or worst enemies depending on what you say to them…pretty cool. Lastly, this is the first MMO to have a voice something something. Meaning to say that you can talk and get replies in voice (not jsut the cutscenes)… instead of everything explained in text.

I mean, if the whole game revolved around the movies, then YES, I would play it, being a faggotty Star Wars fan. However, only Star Wars NERDS would want to play this game cause well..they’re nerds. The game looks cool I’ll give you that, but damn, the movies have ended and people would still want to live in that anticipation of something else. When there was still a movie to be released, people had hope and anticipation, but after the series is over—what now?

All I’m saying, this game wouldn’t even scratch the WoW market. Aion had 3x the shot this game, in my opinion, would have. It has to have something REALLY REALLY good when released for people to actually play it- that is all.

The WoW killer??? are you seriously??

July 18th, 2010 Mike No comments

The WoW killer

Aion-On the wings of life and death…(cool catchphrase eh??)

Well, you could pretty much guess what this whole thing is gonna be about right? Ah, yes, Aion- the WoW killer. The next best MMO to hit the market after a devastating Champions Online. Sweet-ass graphics, good storyline, amazing character customization and f***ing WINGS. How could this ever go wrong, right? WRONG! Nothing has happened since the release of Aion. WoW has in no way slowed down its obvious monopoly of the MMO market. So why the failure to bring down WoW and is it worth giving Aion a shot? Let’s see…

The first thing you can see in Aion are the graphics- F***ING AWESOME. There is nothing else to describe it ….log-in screen itself is like…..WHOOOAAAAAA……

This is because there are two different factions- the guys with white wings and the guys with black wings. Obviously good vs evil scenario…like..duhh..

So yea as you can see, it’s just heavenly…and the best part is, you don’t need super high graphics card or super fast net connection to run it- specs are pretty minimal.

The next best thing is character customization- you can pretty much make any character look anything…the choices are just too many…

…already looks like a chick in real life…no change there…

……Gerard Butler…is that you??

…ohhh READHEADS!!!

But wait…you can also become…

…CLOUD!! Now who the F*** does not want to become cloud??    Or..

…HUGH JACKMAN!!!               Or even better…

WOLVERINE!!!!!!

And guess who doesn’t want to be left out??

…the saviour of mankind…and by mankind I mean nobody…

CHANGE WE CAN MUTHA F***ERS!!!

So yea…that pretty much sums up character customization…be anyone…ANYONE…any face…any race..any color..any skin…any hair style…ANYTHING…the customization is plain AMAZING…

Storyline…hmmm here goes..

First you get stuck on some village area and with pigs things everywhere…like the boars in WoW kinda…

this is what lvl 1 looks like…

Yes yes …make them squeal…squeal little flying piggies…squeal..

This is what I got when I played for the good guys…

Anyways yea…you do these shitty little tasks that some scoutmaster dude asks you to and apparently you are pretty awesome when you kill em pigs for some farmer…then you make your way into a small town and then into the next area…which is a jungle of sorts…you end up talking to a tree and then discover that you were apparently some kick ass…badass soldier in the army and lost your memory in a battle…the tree shows you a vision of the battle and blah blah…you realize (SPOILER ALERT) that you are not some worthless asshole anymore….then you do somethings and then get awarded and then in all that …you get your wings…I won’t spoil the rest for you…

this is the tree dude…think hes called daminu..forgot ..played this game months ago…

Characters pretty much straightforward…you got the mage, the scout the warrior the priest…yes that’s it I guess…moreover , once you choose a faction you have to stick to that faction…

Here’s character select…

….awesomeness eh…you can rotate them and they do some melodramatic attack move…thingy..

So what’s the problem here?? Everythings super F***ING awesome??

Well the thing is that…

TUNE IN TO NEXT TIME TO KNOW WHY WOW STILL REIGNS SUPREME

You seriously didn’t think I was not gonna cliffhang this one now..did ya?

HoN vs LoL Part II of III- The moment of truth

July 15th, 2010 Mike No comments

Hon vs LoL

Part II of Part III

Finally the finale has come..the end is near..judgement day ..the moment or truth…

Another thing that make for a games are the possibilities of carries…

although it aint very clear…its the same thing…shes owning..

Both games have heroes that are just F***ed up when fed….just because you see Youtube videos of heroes owning; heroes literally going 1 on 5 and winning; heroes that 3 shot enemies; heroes dancing over then pissing inside the eye sockets of their dead opponents while their teammates ravage their necro assholes…ahh..ok..went overboard there….. you immediately think one of the two is unbalanced- they’re not. Although once you get in HoN, you ARE a bit stronger than a fed champion in LoL. It is however, harder to get fed in HoN- you have to be really good. A noob can own in LoL given he’s had a lucky day. HoN though has some heroes that no one wants to play with. Just like the Kraken and Ophelia- wtf .6 usage compared to 2.1s and 2.4s and as of the new Glads- 3.0. Everyone loves a new hero. Still, all the heroes ARE balanced when put up.

Another great thing about HoN is the announcer- you just can’t beat the man. He improves on the Unreal Tournament’s one by just being kick ass. The only reason i would ever want to get a triple kill in HoN is because he just blurts out your awesomeness in a way LoL’s LADY…thats right- LADY announcer just can’t do. Although LoL’s announcer declares a lot more on whats going on- HoN’s announcer makes the game the rush of adrenaline it is.

Hon 2-LoL 1

HoN’s ending is somewhat controversial. LoL’s ending is just plain, maybe a bit too plain. The thing just bursts-that’s it. In HoN, the base is literally RAVAGED. That thing comes from underground and rips the base apart-cool. But when that tree pops and makes everything green and gay…hmmm…cheesy… Good guys aren’t always gay- but this time they are. This ending gives victors the much needed pat on the back they deserve while the losers have to moan in the most miserable 10 seconds of their lives. Btw LoL’s ending – 3 seconds…I think. It’s gone before you even know it.

LoL’s ending…a bit too plain perhaps??

The towers in LoL actually attack enemy heroes that attack your won heroes. It does make sense when you look at it. LoL towers are more durable and are somewhat harder to take down. This fact would allow for Chronos to just jump in 200 DMG ULTI, ELDER, either kill or take away a good HALF of your health and leap out- I mean WTF. It is pretty hard for one, even fed, hero to take down a tower from ¾ health in LoL but this can be enhance teamplay- unless you like to own everything, every time.

The matchmaking in both games sucks Sigourney Weaver’s horse face. In LoL there are a lot….and I mean a LOT of leaver and AFKers. They just ruin your game, unless you’re the losing team and their key player leaves. HoN matchmaking can take forever….5 mins… wow …in some match types while your team might have an average KD ratio of 1 compared to a 2 of the other team.

LoL basically is a free game. I haven’t paid squat till now. Hon is definitely worth the $30 bucks- the graphics and the announcer itself cost $28.584. However, one of the best things in LoL is the way in which you can level OUTSIDE the game. That’s right, you get experience and IP points for winning…and losing- more when winning of course. The experience helps you to level up- max 30- with a new mastery point every level to give you a slight in game boost. Don’t worry, lvl 30s fight lvl 30s and lvl 1s fight 1s. Moreover, the IP you get helps you buy new champions and runes- also in game help. You can choose your own runes- attack speed, attack damage, spell damage, armor, spell resist, etc. This beats the monotony of Hon which is just game after game after game. So what happens when you reach lvl 30 in LoL. Well, THEN it becomes just game after game after game- even though you can still save up the IP to get more champs. However, GETTING to lvl 30 is the fun part- this is the part that Hon misses out on even with all the added statistics, usage and ladder displays.

Hon 2- LoL 2

The moment of truth….

It finally comes down to one last aspect of the game- community. Like I said earlier, I won’t go into all the external details like website design and what not. Players don’t really care about that as long as the game’s fine. The ONE thing that I’ve seen that will give LoL the edge- in the long run- is the community. The ENTIRE HoN base has played DotA before. I know I have and 13 out of 18 players- friends of mine- kinda, that play HoN have played DotA before. Out of 13 ,5 have switched to ONLY LoL and 6 play both- which game they play more is irrelevant. I know a LOT more players that only play LoL, well, because Hon was too hard on them- the players were mean and not too friendly. This is the one MAJOR drawback of HoN that will hurt it in the long run. I myself find HoN players to think they are the best in the biz- too good yet too high and mighty. Only DotA players that actually could get a double or a triple kill play HoN, because they are familiar with everything- including the skill level required. This fact will attract more players to LoL as most people in the population are what they are …NOOBS. I stand halfway between noobs and pro- am pretty useful but not too useful. To those who have never played DotA before, HoN will just be another rape session- with immense verbal abuse. They will leave and go to a game where they somehow can have good days and not just bad- LoL.

In lieu of this, LoL comes out with the victory. Although both games are great, they are TOTALLY different. HoN IS  a better version of DotA while LoL is trying to be completely original. Let’s just face it, everyone knows what DotA is but not everyone plays it, or has played it.

LoL for the win by virtue of community.

HoN 2—–LoL 3

Still, it will always be DotA..our first true love..

Hon vs LoL Part III…still not over??

July 11th, 2010 Mike No comments

HoN vs LoL

Part III- part I

So far we…or should I say…I have come to the conclusion that HoN beats LoL in graphics and then that LoLs gameplay is a little bit more for the “average” person while HoN is for more serious players. Just reminding everyone that almost everything I’m saying here is not only my opinion..it is also the opinion of a LOT of people online and a LOT of people I know that play both games.

So, apart from throwing out your balls out in the battle field or keeping them well-protected (somewhat), what other gameplay differences are there? But before I say anything, I would like to congratulate both games on revamping their hotkeys. In DotA the hotkeys were all over the F***ing place. I mean seriously WTF! Thanks to whoever’s the one who gave the GENIUS idea to group all the important keys up into one area of the keyboard and not have your fingers spread out like Carmen Electra’s legs; players don’t have to get arthritis no more- not at least till they are 38. When the games first came out all I could hear people talk about was “Oh dude..man…dude man…man..like dude…the hotkeys are Q W E R man…so easy now man…sweet..” Hotkeys were so important when you had to play in gaming cafes- would take forever to change from the defaults.

Aite, so back to gameplay.  One huge difference in both games is the extra summoner spells that you can use in LoL. Apart from the main spells, each player gets a chance to select two extra spells in champion/hero select to compliment the champion/hero. Spells range from immediate mana, just a bit, a full revive with no death cooldowns, a short wide-area vision spell and other seemingly weak spells. However, there are some spells that are all too useful- an immediate heal for a decent amount of health, ignite- for those champions are  almost dead but never die; it’s a small DOT, there’s a short flash which becomes too strong in the hands of a few heroes and then there’s exhaust- 3 second slow AND BLIND. Another thing in LoL is the grass. The grass makes you invisible and this is perfect for ganks- not like hiding at the “secret shops”. Moreover, LoL has recall which lets you teleport to your base after 8 untouched seconds from anywhere on the map. You don’t have to run ALL the way back to the frekin base. Anyways here are pics of the base…as you can see in the LoL one, there are D & F spells which are the 2 extra spells. Both LoL bases are the same even though there’s a good and evil in LoL while HoN stretches on that fact with a kick ass base.

These extra added bonus gives the gameplay a more diverse feel to it…people can choose whatever of the 9-10 spells they want. I can’t really give Hon points because LoL can be played by noobs…it’s unfair to the MAJORITY…..THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY…of the population  *ahem cough ahem*

Hon 1  LoL 1

Tune in to next time for the over-worded finale of this final debate…hmmm production went into a fourth sequel eh…next time-this whole boring fight over which COMPLETELY different game is better…WILL BE OVER. Can’t believe people read this shit…just play both games FFS. Pay for Hon and play LoL free….geeez. It’s not like you have to choose which one to buy.

since this is technically the last part- I reckoned it would be best for this to be a 2-parter…..like Hollywood cliffhangers..hehe

see you next time for Part II of Part III of Hon vs LoL

HoN vs LoL Part II

July 9th, 2010 Mike No comments

HoN vs LoL

Part II

Aite, let’s see where we left off. So far HoN takes the lead with its amazing graphics. Yea that’s pretty much it. Not much for words eh? Now let’s have a look at gameplay; both in game and general opinions.

Back then, when there was only DotA, whenever me and my friends played with these Arab kids, we always used to get analed; and not just with normal sized objects, I’m talking massive throbbing black manhood. See, against my own group of friends I used to own- they just sucked balls, but I was still really crap when I played any proper match against any proper people. DotA was just something that took a decent amount of time to practice- it wasn’t really for noobs or semi-noobs. HoN pretty much took the same stance- it is still the exact gameplay DotA was- because this was what it wanted to be. LoL on the other hand was more kind to noobs that didn’t get to join in group DotA fights because they were not good enough. LoL is not too easy, it is just a lot easier than DotA. You won’t have to spend at least a couple of years, that is if you are playing from scratch, to be able to do anything useful. It would take you probably a couple of months and a few dozen games meaning that all those people with fingers as slow as f***; timing as good as f*** and coordination as bad as f*** can play.

DotA wasn’t very kind to noobs. Some of the main aspects of this was the whole denying concept- which took me forever to get a hang of, even in DotA. Denying leaves your opponent penniless and short on a level or two. One would need a great deal of experience to have that natural timing, intuition and feel come to him; more so if you would be up against greats. Another thing was losing gold when you die. This means that you just can’t afford to keep on dying but would have to manage yourself pretty well. LoL on the other hand is more forgiving. It doesn’t have either of these in game. Hey, now isn’t that too easy? Well, the denying thing was just a bit too hard in the first place and the gold, well, it leaves out one aspect of DotA and HoN gameplay that just really pisses me off- the whole hit and run, hit and run thing. I mean WTF man, come and fight me like a man you faggoty SOB!! With LoL, EVERYONE gets to have balls the size of the South Park men (you know in the one where they put their balls in the microwave just to get testicular cancer so that they can smoke medicinal marijuana). With LoL, there is a lot of action involved. It’s always “BRING IT ON BITCH!” or “I will wipe the floor with your FACE, BiTcH!” Well, once they realised that they are actually losing the fight, THEN they simply run like faggots, but almost never run back. Those that do almost always trip over their own ass. The tanks in LoL simply run in like crazy f***s because they just don’t give a shit. It’s for the team and they’re not losing cash anyways. This whole concept actually makes the game a lot more fun instead of serious. Instead of always having to watch your own ass, you can just pull your pants down, expose your genitalia, and run like a Scotsman on coke right into your opponents. Oh yea and don’t forget the war paint.

What, what, what!! 600 words already??? And no gay-ass pictures??? Oh well, guess you’ll just have to tune in to part 3. I’m out of time for now. There’ll be pics next time.

…and to all a good night…

League of Legends vs Heroes of Newerth – Part I

July 6th, 2010 Mike No comments

League of Legends vs Heroes of Newerth(LoL vs HoN) – the fight for the throne

Part I

Ahhhh, the ever never-ending question- LoL or HoN, which one shall eventually take Dota’s throne? I would first like to go on and say that Dota was, is and forever will be the father of death match RPGs, even long after its player base drops drastically. HoN and LoL are basically the same game but in two completely different worlds; kinda like having a boxer and an artist twin- kinda. Well anyways this is gonna be an unbiased, hopefully many of you will agree, series of articles (most probably till part III) which will try to settle or unsettle the question once and for all. This site is pretty much HoN based so it’s time for a little introduction to LoL. Another little title biter, LoL is currently leading the way- CURRENTLY. Believe it or not HoN fans, but it’s true. This DOES NOT mean that it’s better than HoN, but has more players patronizing the game more.

Aite so just what’s the difference? Well, over the course of the week, I’ll be describing the most important aspects of the games that appeal to gamers. I’m not gonna go into unnecessary crap, just what people would want to see and play in a game- with a bit of other perks that people would prefer a game to have.  First up would be the graphics. Needless to say, graphics have to kick ass.

Let’s see how this goes. The people at S2 made sure that HoN looked good- real good.

I think Caruso says it all. Anyways…yea…Real, real good. One would see that amount of effort and detail it took to make graphics that improved upon Dota- this good. Now what about LoL?

Is he going to hug or bitchslap him?

Or let me put up a more…..revealing one…

Whooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…….OK MAYBE THAT WASN’T NECESSARY

Point being, HoN is way more advanced in graphics than LoL. Still doesn’t mean LoL graphics are bad, they still are an improvement from Dota, but COME ON… there is no challenge there.

But HoN is too dark and …well, emo…

WHAT?!?!    But it’s true, some people DO say this….LoL on the other hand is more bright and happy…

But bright and happy is called GAY…..some people do say this as well….

What I’m trying to say is that those are just aspects of the graphics….one is darker, sexier and the other is kiddish and well…40 year old virgin wearing nothing but huge nipples the size of my shoulder and some blue kilt kinda like….I am not judging people by what kinda graphics they like; all I’m saying is that when it comes to graphics, it is HoN- hands down. Even though most LoL players have no graphics complaints, it still cannot compare to HoN in any way.  And for any gamer, when a game has outstanding graphics, it is a sign that you do not F*** with it.

HoN -1    LoL- 0

Tune in to Part II for more
