I'm also trying to get more into shooters. 

So I got The Order: 1886, and Spec Ops: The Line and Call of Duty: Black Ops from eBay. Spec Ops has been on my radar for a while, and I enjoyed the demo when I played it. But I was in a bad place mentally, and my brother advised against me playing it. Now that I'm older and doing better, why not give it a try?

As far as Call of Duty goes, it's my best friend's favorite franchise. She wants me to get into Fallout, too. So, out of the two of them, I decided to see what all the hype was about with Call of Duty. I hears it's more "run and gun" rather than stealth based, a little bit off course from what I've been playing. But who knows? Could be just what I need. I never knew I could like a shooter until I played Sniper Ghost Warrior. 

So we'll see.

FAR CRY 4

So I decided to jump back into Far Cry 4 randomly one afternoon after work. I just got through act one. Since I'm taking a break from trophy hunting, it actually feels quite liberating playing the game not having to worry about restrictive trophies. 

I know this game is also on the PS4, but I'm playing the PS3 version. Is the frame rate for cutscene this bad on the PS4, too? Gameplay looks fine, but the cutscenes look so choppy!!

SHADOW OF THE TOMB RAIDER

I'm thinking of platinuming it. But difficulty trophies and collectibles. :/ It Shouldn't be too bad. New Game + lets you carry over skills and weapons / equipment. I did Uncharted The Lost Legacy on Insane. ^^' So hopefully I can do SOTR on Deadly Obsession.

Have you guys ever bought a controller that looked real, but then discovered It's a counterfeit? I have a Crystal Blue controller I got for my birthday - brand new - from eBay. But It's counterfeit. It looks completely legit! Even with the PlayStation symbol and everything. But I opened the box and saw the dreaded power supply cord, and I knew. Original, genuine Sony controllers don't come with charging cables. 

So when I plug it in to charge, the darn thing doesn't register until 5 seconds after I plug it in! It works fine sometimes, but most of the time It's a mess! Laggy, doesn't input correctly, even turns off randomly! Maybe has about a two hour charge until it just dies. And whenever I have a mic attached, the person I'm talking to says I cut out every other word, and is very choppy. 

I wish I knew what exactly this brand was! I use it as an emergency back up only. 

I have two good controllers, and the one that came with my console has stick drift. So it works good if I reset the calibrations for a bit. 

Then I have the janky clear blue one. Which is hella disappointing because it looks so cool!! It's usable. But only in case of emergencies.

So my friend and I went by a Game Exchange, and I picked up Far Cry 5, and I used a coupon from GameStop and ordered a copy of The Order: 1886. 

Can somebody please tell me: are the monsters you fight zombies? I hate zombies, and all the info I could find was that they were called "half breeds," which make me think werewolves. The trailers looked like werewolves. But it looks like a pretty cool game! I've heard it was short, though. 

As far as Far Cry 5 goes, I have 4 for the ps3 which I've played a little of. I honestly just got it because it was cheaper than 5. 5 sounds exactly up my alley. I've heard the series is like Sniper Ghost Warrior, so I think I'll like it. 

In the meantime, I'm playing Shadow of The Tomb Raider. My greviances with the reboot series still go strong, but the gameplay is just great! I'm not too far into the story yet, but I've heard it was kinda bad. I hated Rise's story. So far, my favorite is the first one in the series.

HARVEST MOON: ONE WORLD

So .... I've spent several hours on the game so far, close to beating the main story. 

And I gotta say. It's better than Light of Hope. The world is bigger, the story is great, the characters aren't cardboard. 

One of my only complaints is that everything in - Game is BELLA expensive! 20,000 G for a horse. 15,000 if you want a different color. 5,000 for a cow. 1,000 for a hammer, axe, or fishing rod. 

Earning money is so slow, especially for the way things are priced! The large house you need in order to get married is 70,000 G! The recipes you need to go to Pastilla and the snowy place are 3,000 G a piece!

Oh! And your barn has THREE slots!! You can have 5 chickens, but three livestock! So don't make my mistake and adopt one of the large eild amimals you can find. They take up a space in your barn and don't produce anything for sale! I just couldn't afford wasting all that food, so I had to let them go. 

So far, kinda not worth the 50 dollars. Honestly, I would say It's worth about 15 to 20, given It's on a sale.

HARVEST MOON: LIGHT OF HOPE

Oh Harvest Moon, how I've missed you. In celebration of One World coming out, I decided to go back and finally finish Light of Hope. After two years, I finished the story tonight, having a child with Edmond, watching him grow up, then saving him from the Petrifaction curse! I even completed all the festivals.  

Despite what people say about the newer Harvest Moon titles, I genuinely enjoyed Light of Hope! I will agree, though, that the graphics could have been a little better ..... it DOES kinda look like a phone game, I can't lie. But I truly think Natsume is trying to carry on the name. Was it as good as A Wonderful Life or Magical Melody? I'd say yes, actually. The story was very creative for the series, whose stories mostly consist of saving the Harvest Goddess. She has a bit of a Princess Peach syndrome. X3

I do appreciate the new mechanics, such as the mutations. As frustrating and random as they are. :/ And the new animals were cute! The bobcat, and "Candy" variations of animals were adorable. It even introduced donkeys into the line up!

I can't wait for tomorrow! Though I will say, I'll be a little miffed if I don't get my stuffed chicken. :/ I'll probably complain to GameStop, if I'm being honest. I PAID FOR THAT CHICKEN!! The least they could have done was let me know that they were out of the chickens. :/ Especially if they're still running the "chicken preorder bonus" ads, which they are. 

~ L.G.

I preordered the new Harvest Moon game! It's coming out on the 3rd, I believe. The GameStop site said it should be delivered 2 to 4 days after release. 

Just one game in the multitude of games coming out this year I cannot wait for! Hcgvchfyg

Sherlock Chapter One

Sniper Ghost Warrior 5

Horizon Forbidden West

That Harry Potter game 

Just to name a few.

In other news, I just finished my first blind playthrough of Dishonored 2. I was Corvo, and got the Low Chaos ending. It just made me realize that I won't platinum it, probably ever. But the urge my rise again, idk. Just Not getting caught the entire game. Ugh. It was horrible the first time!

As far as gameplay, it was good! Storywise, though, not so much. :/ imo, way too much like the first game.
