Weekly Gaming Update - Killing People with Jets

Here are my updates for this week in gaming. It has been a big week after all!

First off, I definitely fell for the hype of Pokemon. So much in fact, that I went out and purchased a new Crimson Red 3DS just so I can play Pokemon Y. It is my only game for the system and I am definitely proud of that fact. I love the game so much, much has changed since the old days and everything definitely for the better.

When I am not playing Pokemon, I have been diving into the universe of Grand Theft Auto V Online. The game had a terribly rocky start and I was rather disappointed, espcecially coming from such a studio such as Rockstar. But the wait was well worth it, now that things are relatively stable online, I can fully enjoy the game. I have taken a comrade with me online and I have experienced endless fun messing with other players and just overall jackassery online. Highlights include stealing fighter jets and blowing everyone up on the map that I can before crashing into a building....and then proceeding to kill someone with the remains of my jet. 

My PS+ membership is definitely paying off this month. I have been diving into Kingdoms of Amular ever since that was released on the PS+ for free. Shadow of the colossus is  free as well as Hotline Miami. Big name games are going up for grabs this month and this makes me very happy. Especially when I was thinking about picking up those titles just last week. Makes me really happy that I get to save some cash. PS+ was definitely worth the money to get all these games playable.

Just a quick Tech update, some big news came out today from Apple, and I am not talking about the new products....I could care less for that sort of things. The biggest news that I thought was, for a company that focuses on getting money from whichever way they can from the consumer...that they released OS X Mavericks for free to upgrade. Now that surprised me a lot. 

Other than that, not much to update on. I expect to live stream some Bastion or whatever else I want to play on PC this week. I will be live streaming and creating a lot more videos once I get my PS4...I am more of console player if I am going to be truthful. Though I do love my mouse and keyboard. 

Till Next Time, 

Stay Sinsiter

GTAV 1st Impressions

1st Impressions.

Driving is a lot easier than in GTAIV. Its not like Saints Row where you are magnetized to the ground though, there is a good mix between control and physics in the driving. So you shouldn't be driving all over the place like in GTAIV, but I still do because I can.

Shooting is really fun. They have an auto aim mechanic like GTAIV makes it a little easier but more fun. Of course you do not need to use that though so its all good.

The opening sequence is a lot of fun and introduces 2 of the main characters. The crazy guy and the ex-con. The thug is really fun to play. I find that all the characters have a lot of personality and you can relate with them better than you can with Niko. It actually feels like San Andreas because you can level each character individually by going to the gym, bike riding, etc...

So far the story is being driven quite smoothly, still haven't had all three characters meet up yet. One thing that is cool, is the switching between characters. It is totally seamless in the game play and is executed quite nicely. The only real time I had with it is the first mission and me switching to the pet dog.

The last thing that I am just completely floored about is the load times. There simply just isn't any, going from mission to mission doesn't require any loading...it just does it. Quite fantastic if you ask me, definitely a technological marvel for this current generation of games. It totally feels Next-gent, just doesn't quite look the part.
