Playstation 4 so far…

So I just bought the PS4 this year and had it for a little while. I’ve bought 8 games for it so far and currently playing “Batman: Arkham Knight” right now. “Batman: Arkham Knight” is a great game so far. Before I started “Batman: Arkham Knight”, I’ve beat the game “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” which that game is great too.

I’ve got like 6 other games to play though like “Overwatch”, “Until Dawn”, “Call of Duty: Black Ops III”, “Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare”, “Minecraft” and “7 Days to Die”.

I still want to get the games “No Man’s Sky” and “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided” but didn’t get them yet ’cause I want to try to finish the other games I haven’t played yet.

The PS4 is great so far. I’m loving it. I know Sony released a few other PS4 systems just recently like PS4 slim and PS4 Pro but fuck it. I just wanted to get the PS4 so I got the regular PS4. I had to get a PS4 so I can catch up with all the new games since they aren’t releasing PS3 games anymore.

I also know about the Playstation VR that’s coming out, that Playstation Virtual Reality thing and I’m also thinking about getting that sometime down the road.

I love video games. I’ve been a video gamer all my life and still am. It’s just something I’ve grown up on . I’ve been playing video games ever since the original Atari came out and I was a little child back then.

The Playstation 4 so far…

So over the weekend, I hooked up my new PS4 to the TV and connected the PS4 to the internet yesterday. It all seems to be working fine so far so it’s definitely a keeper. The PS4 console is definitely a little different than the PS3 so I will have to get used to the new menus and stuff like that.

The PS4 so far is really impressive. A big improvement in graphics and sound for sure. Ps4 games look way better and the graphics are insane.

I started playing “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” yesterday. Played that game most of  the day yesterday since it was a rainy afternoon. Getting pretty far in the game and just starting Chapter 7. It’s a badass game. Glad I got it. I never played a single Uncharted game before and this is my first time playing an Uncharted game.

Haven’t started “Overwatch” yet but will soon after I beat Uncharted 4 and COD: Black Ops III.

A lot of video gamers would like to play more than one game but not me. I like to play one game at a time. I like to finish one whole game and move on to the next. Once I start a game, I don’t stop until I beat it. That’s how I do things.

I’m glad I finally got the PS4 finally and now I’ll be able to get all the cool new releases which is what I got it for. Sony doesn’t make new games for PS3 anymore. That’s why I had to upgrade to PS4.

Best Buy didn’t have any copies of “Batman: Arkham Knight”, they were strangely sold out of copies so I’ll have to look for that game elsewhere. Maybe Gamestop or Target has a copy. If not, then I might have to download that game from the Playstation Store.

Another game I wanted to get is “7 Days To Die” which is a zombie first person shoot ’em up but I was told that’s a downloadable only game so I’ll have to download that one from the PS store as well which will cost money but I’ll get it sometime.

I also can’t wait for “No Man’s Sky”, “Until Dawn” and “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided”. Those three games are not out yet but they will be out this month in Aug.

I love the PS4. Definitely way better than the PS3 for sure.

Just bought the PS4 today finally…

13872695_10153849555543131_2226970363673756379_n

Yep, so I went to Best Buy today and picked up the PS4. I know I’m late getting the PS4 but late is better than never. I haven’t hooked it up and set it up yet ’cause I need to reset the PS3 settings back to factory settings which I’m doing now ’cause I’m planning on selling the old Ps3 to somebody.

Anyway, Best Buy didn’t have any of the games I wanted. “No Man’s Sky” doesn’t come out ’til next month. “7 Days to Die” is an online download kind of game which I will get soon. The horror game “Until Dawn” doesn’t come out ’til next month either.

I couldn’t find “Batman: Arkham Knight” so I guess they were sold out of copies so I’ll have to find that game else where.

So for the PS4, I got 3 games with it: “Uncharted 4”, “Overwatch”, and “Call of Duty: Black Ops III”. The COD: Black Ops III came with the PS4 for free. So these three games will keep me busy for a while.

I was looking at other games but the guy who worked at Best Buy talked me into getting “Uncharted 4” and “Overwatch”. A lot of people has been saying great things about these two games so I bought them.

I’m glad I finally got a PS4 so now I can get all the cool new games coming out. I’ll be able to get “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided” as well but that game doesn’t come out until at the end of Aug. as well.

I also had to buy one of those Playstation Plus gift card that gives you 3 months of Playstation Plus store ’cause I had to get in order to play “Black Ops III” online. I’ll take a look at the Playstation Plus store to see what else they have on there ’cause I’m sure you can download a bunch of free games.

Yeah, I’m a die-hard video gamer, y’all. Always has been. Once again, I grew up my whole life on video games. I love playing them. Video gaming is just another hobby of mine that i like to do. When I’m not playing music and not playing guitar, video games helps me relax and think. Plus, they are fun and I like to entertain myself.

New “Batman: Arkham Knight” trailer is here…

To be honest, this game looks way better than the “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” movie! I would like to get this game; however, I don’t have a PS4. The game is only gonna be available for the PS4, Xbox and the PC. There is a PC version of the game coming out so it looks like that I’m gonna have to get this game for PC instead. I’m a huge fan of the Batman video games as I’ve played the previous three. The previous three Batman games are great and I’m sure this one will be too. This is gonna be the final game of the “Arkham” franchise, I believe.

My new computer is good enough to play video games with now ’cause I have a good enough graphics card. So I’ll be able to play this game on my computer.

Anyway, I’m still planning to buy a PS4, though ’cause I really want one sometime down the road. Maybe next time I win the Bingo jackpot again, I’ll definitely buy a PS4 then. Probably will! I’ve been going to Bingo games every week pretty much hoping to win some extra cash.

This game comes out June 23rd.

Sam Raimi reveals “The Last of Us” is on it’s way to the big screen for a live action adaptation…

Welp, it’s that time of year again when San Diego Comic Con is happening right now as I write this. SDCC is a comic book/movie convention where fanatics and geeks go there to shop, watch the panels of their favorite movies/TV shows, meet & greet movie stars, etc. You get the deal. At “The Last of Us” panel Sam Raimi the man himself made a surprise appearance at SDCC. He wasn’t invited or anything like that, he just showed up ’cause he simply wanted to.

He surprised fans of the survival horror game with an announcement that “The Last of Us” is on it’s way to the big screen with a live action movie. Sam Raimi is producing and Neil Druckmann is writing the screenplay. There is no director as of yet.

While there are no casting announcements as of yet the most popular choices to play Joel is either Hugh Jackman or Josh Brolin. I agree with Hugh Jackman, he would be perfect for the role. Fans want Maisie Williams who is famous for her “Game of Thrones” role to play the role of Ellie which is also a great choice.

Sam Raimi also announced he’s writing a TV show for “The Evil Dead”.

This is pretty freakin’ sweet! I’m all for this game being made into a big screen movie ’cause the game is great. I played it myself. The story is great and the game play was a blast. After I played this game and beat it, I thought to myself, this game is definitely headed to the big screen. The game felt like a big screen movie.

Most movies adapted from video games are garbage but lets hope they do a good job with this one. I hope they make it real good.

If you’re a video gamer and haven’t played “The Last Of Us”, I’d recommend it!

Does Lindsay Lohan have the right to sue the makers of “Grand Theft Auto V”??? I’d say yes…

The “Mean Girls” star, Lindsay Lohan, have sued the makers of “Grand Theft Auto V” claiming they used her likeness without her permission. She accused them of using her image, voice and all the problems that she had in her life to use for the game. Sorry to say, everyone but I have noticed all kinds of similarities of Lindsay Lohan for the game. Especially the girl pictured on the front cover of the box art. It seems like the game was attacking Lindsay all the way even though her name wasn’t being used.

I think she’s doing the right thing looking into it. I’m no fan of Lindsay myself but she has the right to sue if she feels that entertainment media is trying to make her look bad publicly.

I played “GTAV”. It’s a cool game but there’s a lot of whacky storylines in it, though. Plus the game was too easy and predictable.

Am I gonna have to buy a PS4 soon? Yep, looks like it…

The PS3 console have been out for several years now… it’s been out for 8 years, I think???

Now that the PS4 has been out for a while now… all of the upcoming video games for the Playstation have been for PS4 exclusive only. Why do they do this? Well, it’s obvious that it’s a sneaky way for Sony to make more money and their little trick to get people all excited to buy a PS4. Yes, I’m sure Sony already did this trick for the original Playstation, the Playstation 2 and 3 but I kind of disagree with this marketing. Just my opinion. People should be able to have the right to choose to keep their current console but Sony will find ways to force people to buy their new console.

The PS3 haven’t really been all that old and already they came out with a new console.

I love video gaming and all. It’s one of my favorite things to do other than music and weight lifting but the video gaming industry can be pretty shady with their marketing and the releases of their products. They gotta make the money somehow, right?

Anyway, yes, I will buy a PS4 console but not right away. I looked up the pricing for the PS4 and it’s like $400 which is not really all that bad. I’ll buy one sometime down the road… maybe next year.

I’m gonna have to get a PS4 so I can get the new Batman and Tomb Raider games which are gonna be for PS4 exclusive only. It kinda sucks but it is what it is. The video gaming industry is kind of greedy… they’ve always have been.

Kevin Spacey will star in next Call of Duty game, “Advanced Warfare”…

I used to be a fan of the COD games but I lost interest in them. Why? It’s because I think COD games are pretty overrated and I don’t appreciate their online multi-player. Their online-multi-player is pretty much garbage ’cause all those kids wanna do is camp and cheat. They don’t actually wanna play. That’s why I gave up playing first-person shooters online. I just like playing the regular story line game, not the online multi-player. I love first person shooters though. The last COD game I played was “COD: Black Ops” and I haven’t played a new one since then.

I admittedly have been staying away from playing video games for a while even if I’m a video gamer myself. I got better things to do than playing video games for hours and hours. I only play video games when I’m really really bored. I should get back to video gaming, though.

“Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare” actually looks pretty good. Not sure if I’ll get it, though. I’m happy for Kevin Spacey getting this opportunity, though. This game could help Netflix’s “House of Cards” get more recognition.

Enjoy the trailer. “COD: Advanced Warfare” drops in stores Nov. 4th.

“The Last Of Us” video game coming to the big screen for live-action film…

Well, I didn’t find this a surprise at all that they were going to make a movie for, “The Last of Us”, which is one of the best games released of 2013. After I finished the game, my first immediate thought was, “They’re gonna make this into a live-action movie”. Look like my prediction was right! Sam Raimi’s, Ghost House Pictures, is producing and they already have a writer who is, Neil Druckmann. No director have been found yet. “The Last Of Us” is an action-adventure zombie game mixed w/ a little science-fiction as well. The game is mostly storyline but there are tons of gameplay in it.

More on the story here:

Will they get Ellen Page to play Ellie? The girl pictured above? I don’t know. Ellen Page complained about the game using her likeness so she might not do it but ya never know, though. These guys may try to ask Ellen ’cause I know they won’t resist it. The Ellie character looks a lot like Ellen. Ellen didn’t voice the character, though, they just made the character look like her.

I hate most movies adapted from video games but as long as Sam Raimi is involved for this one, I’m all for it. Will Sam Raimi direct as well? Who knows. We’ll have to wait and see.

Who will play Joel, the man pictured above? Looking at that photo, I can easily think of a few actors who would be perfect for that character: Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Ethan Hawke, and Ben Affleck maybe???

Since this is a Sam Raimi movie, Bruce Campbell would probably get a small role.

Looking forward to seeing where they’re going with this. Hope they make it right.

Warner Bros. finally reveals “Batman: Arkham Knight” trailer…

I played the first two Batman games: “Arkham Asylum” and “Arkham City”… both were great. I’m looking forward to this one too. This is the third Batman game by rocksteady, “Arkham Knight” which continues the trilogy. There is another Batman game called, “Batman: Arkham Origins” (which I have and haven’t started playing it yet) but that game isn’t by rocksteady studios.

I’m a big Batman fan and love these video games so I’ll be looking forward to this one.
