My mind has been recently immersed in the world of The Last of Us. It's desolate and, if it wasn't for the constant companions, lonely. Crafting items is done in real time so it's best to prepare an arsenal before opening that door. Choices must be made as there is rarely enough resources to craft everything that's desired. Molotov cocktails and first aid kits share the same ingredients, so you're often choosing between the two. Is it worth healing to leave yourself defenseless when the clickers come or will a molotov be useless when you get swarmed by runners? It's a simple choice really, but each choice makes you approach each situation differently which is the magic of the game. The one thing that is definitive: Shivs are the most important piece of equipment you can craft. They can open locked doors, allow you to perform stealth kills and, after upgrading a specific stat, can help fend off attacking clickers.
I haven't been this excited around E3 in a while. Sony knocked it out of the park this year. Virtually everything they could have done to beat Microsoft, they did. No DRM. The ability to play used games by just inserting the disc. Cheaper price point by $100. For a gamer, that's a no-brainer. Sony clearly catered more to gamers than Microsoft did. Sure, there aren't as many exclusives, but most of Microsoft's exclusives were laden with shooters. Nintendo is also showing a lot in terms of games. The big kicker for me is the addition of MegaMan in the new Super Smash Bros games. It's a big week in gaming and the plan is to reflect and comment on all this news in upcoming comic strips. I also have another project in the work with a friend of mine. We should have some stuff to show my the end of the month.
The PlayStation 4. That's the big news of the week. It's only fitting that I say something about it, in some capacity. If you haven't already done so, Sony's PlayStation 4 meeting video is included for your viewing pleasure.
OK, so it's not really about the PS4, it's more like a Sony mission statement. It's still pretty cool to take a look back at some of the old PlayStation games and to see how far video games have come. Go ahead and take a look at some of the confirmed titles for the new console. Bungie's newest series, Destiny, catches my eye the most. And did you see Diablo III? That one is a bit interesting. Could we possibly see more typically PC centered games show up on consoles in the near future. Maybe a console version of World of Warcraft. All I can say is WoW! Now we just have to wait for Microsoft's response. Oh yeah, don't forget to do your taxes and keep up your school work. This was a PS4 PSA.
