Resident Evil 6 PC Review (Really Capcom)?

Now before i start this review i wanna say i do like capcom as they make some of my favorite games like marvel vs capcom and of course resident evil. I enjoy being scared by games and lately i feel like the genre of "survival horror" has really stagnated. Even Dead space 3 has become nothing more than the occasional jump scare and spooky moment no one seems to understand that a scary game needs to have a tense atmosphere where something could just come out and attack and you be defenseless. Sadly Resident evil 6 along with other problems becomes another generic survival horror game. But boy does it Try.

Story and Presentation- Now the story in this is very convoluted and not in the traditional sense. There are 4 campaigns and each one has seperate chapters, But how they have these set is very weird since their not in order so if you pick leon first youll actually skip around in the story to where you"ll get confused. I made a list i what order to play them in

Prelude Chapter
Chris Chapter 1
Chris Chapter 2
Jake Chapter 1
Jake Chapter 2
Leon Chapter 1
Leon Chapter 2
Leon Chapter 3
Jake Chapter 3
Chris Chapter 3
Jake Chapter 4
Leon Chapter 4
Chris Chapter 4
Jake Chapter 5
Chris Chapter 5
Leon Chapter 5

At Least Activision cares enough to have beenox do a proper console port 

I wish that the story didn't skip around like this since anyone new to the franchise Will be scratching their head at certain events. Now the story takes place between Leon a veteran of the RE franchise, Chris red field another veteran and a new come called Jake. They all have different perspectives and each campaign plays differently. Leon's is the classic survival horror aspect, Chris"s campaign is a straight third person shooter and Jake's is all action sorta like a Micheal bay movie. Now i don't have a problem with capcom trying something new but i do have a problem with them trying to appeal to too wide an audience. Each campaign is just kinda meh and Leon's who i thought was decent is still not up to par with other story games as it doesn't flow like it should. the story again involves another virus outbreak but this time it is happening all over the world just as the president plans on revealing what happened at raccoon city.Now since i am reviewing the PC Version im gonna be honest their kinda bleh. Muddy textures as well as some OK PC settings. I could tell right off the bat that capcom didn't really try to put any effort in to the PC with only options for resolution, shadows and antiailising. Lets compare two other games like dead space 3 and surprisingly the amazing spiderman. Dead space had so many options for a PC port that it makes capcoms effort look like a half baked port while the amazing spiderman came with a launcher  that lets you put everything to ultra which made me crap my pants since its a movie licensed game that did a better job than just a standalone release. The game uses dx 9 and it shows


Gameplay- Resident Evil 6 plays similarly to resident evil 5 and resident evil 4 with the over the shoulder perspective.  While the controls are still smooth, i was puzzled by one thing... WHY is there a cover system. I understand there are zombies with guns whoops spoilers oh well. But other than that the controls are still solid with a new edition the running slide and melee combat. Now the running combat is really cool all you do is sprint plus the button you haves elected for actions and you ll slide on the ground turned around which can give you some leeway if your surrounded as well as looking pretty bad ass. Melee combat is a interesting feature as by clicking the mouse button while not aiming allows you to punch and kick to again give you some breathing room if your out of ammo but drains from a meter. I think these are pretty cool editions but i feel like they detract from the survival horror element. The story length will depend on your difficulty but i fell like the length was fine but i wasn't really satisfied with the story as it again doesn't really scare me and i felt like the story was kinda generic at this point i hope in the future that capcom will not try to appeal to too wide an audience and focus more on the survival horror aspect since i feel like there really isn't any truly any scary games anymore(other than amnesia which scared me shitless)

Verdict- So in the end is it worth it well... capcom wants about $39 on steam and i feel like that's worth it for the price you get alot of game play plus the multi player modes which i don't play so i cant judge it. in the end its just another zombie action game that is just barely above the other zombies games. This game gets a 7.5 out of 10 with pretty average graphics and decent game play its worth a look at but i give it a shaky recommendation.              .

Battlefield 3

Battlefield 3 is one of the most anticipated games of 2011 and is also one of the prettiest due to its intro of the frostbite 3 engine. But does it deliver on the hype or will it fail to be different from the other Major shooter Call Of Duty.

Story- The story follows a marine by the name of Sgt. Blackburn and a Spetnaz operative Dimitri Mayakovsky. It starts off with you being interogated by the CIA for a unknown Crime. Right off the bat i was annoyed as the games major competitor Call of Duty already used this in the campaign in Black Ops. Although i continued playing it felt strangely like i was playing a knockoff of black ops and i was not ingrossed in the story because of this. I also felt diasconnected from the main characters as there was no real character devolpment and with you constantly jumping around in different people. Even though black ops was alltitle unrealistic i felt masons pain as he lost his best friends right in front of him while in Bf3 you really dont feel any response from Blackborn and even though his teammates die like crazy. This is where the story really fell short for me as there was nothing to pull me into the experience. There is also a problem with length where the game is 3 to 4 hours long. Although many other shooters are short they usually have good story or engross you in the experience i felt with Battlefield 3 the campaign was just tacked on with no real effort put into it. This is the studio that brought us bad company 1 and 2 how could they just not care about the story
Presentation- With the inclusion of frostbite 2 the game footage that i have seen is gorgeous. The character models look great and there are awesome set pieces. But as this game was made for PC sacrifices had to be made to port it to consoles. Some textures look old and don't quite blend in with the new and there are still issues with with the engine that a patch could fix. For example the AI tends to glitch out in the single player flying through walls and getting stuck in place. There is also the issue of bodies clipping through the floor and stairs which can ruin the immersion it tries to give. There has also been some wonky physics such as floating objects and bodies flying in the air. I also encountered a freezing glitch on one of the missions but has since been patched.

Game play- Like all Fps it is in the first person and uses a hud to display your ammo and health. While using the guns i noticed they all had realistic feel and didn't feel floaty and recoiless which is something i haven't seen in a long time for a shooter. The explosives are also balanced and although you may not die with a rpg hit you ll probably be so injured that you ll die soon anyway from other enemies. There are also vehicles such as tanks and airplanes you can use for your online and single player pleasure. I found these vehicles also had a realistic feel but found them really hard to control especially the jets but others may find them easier. I also enjoy the fact that this allows for more versitile battles and since the maps on Bf3 Multiplayer are Huge theres plenty of room for large scale battles in the air and small tank battles on the ground.

The Verdict- The game is a blast to play whether or not you are a Battlefield Fan or a Cod Fan. There is plenty of variety of the multiplayer that will allow for Unlimited replay value IN my Book its A 9.0 Out of 10
due to some minor techinical hitches but overall Perfect

Crysis 2

Crysis. The single most graphically intensive game ever made.  Many people have questioned if their consoles will be able to play it. The game has finally come out but in end does it live up to its reputation as a beautiful fun game or will it fall flat on its face. Lets find out

Story- In the beginning it gives a brief recap of what's going on with the world and how an alien virus is killing people. I found this to be very helpful as many people never played the original crysis. You start as a marine named Alcatraz who is on board a ship for new york. As you get close your ship attacked by a mysterious presence and most of your team is wiped out while you survive waking up in the nano suit. A Suit which augments a persons speed strength endurance and give you the ability to cloak. I found the story very bland as there is no real development in the characters and since Alcatraz is another silent protagonist its just another bland character in another shooter. This is however not always bad only if the game properly takes advantage of this such Half life two where there is good development and and good characters that actually make you feel like your actually in their world. Crysis however just makes you feel disconnected

Gameplay- The Crysis series has always had interesting gameplay experience due to the nanosuit. This suit makes a walking bad ass killing everyone in your way or sneaking around everyone while cloaked. The suit allows you multiple ways to get to an objective thanks to a visor that shows flank points, ammunition, and ways to sneak around the enemy. This allows you to have complete freedom to complete the missions your way. There are also some pretty cool guns as well. There is the standard shotgun, machine guns and pistols but there is also a gun that shoots electricity a sniper rifle and a rocket launcher with guided missiles. These guns are really fun to use on enemy's and landing a head shot on a moving target is ever so satisfying. The controls feel solid and lag free and allows for action packed moments without wanting to break your control due to poor control

Graphics and Performance- Is the game still good looking even after being on a console. Yes it does. The implementation of cry engine 3 allows for more detail in the environment and allows the game to be The best looking game on Ps3 and Xbox 360 Hands down. But their are some flaws with porting the game to consoles such as jagged lines all over the trees and cars and when there is too much on the screen there are frame rate issues that become noticeable but do not overall detract from the overall beauty of the game. There is also the issue of bodies clipping through objects and getting stuck inside stairs. The AI also seems to get stuck on objects too easily becoming imobile until you put them out of their misery.

Overall- The game is d definitely worth the purchase of crysis 2 with its awesome graphics, open mission structure and fun gameplay you will be playing this game for months to come

Crysis Review

While crysis was and still is the most graphically intensive game can it hold up on consoles and actually answer the question WILL IT RUN CRYSIS

\

Story and Graphics - It tells the story of nomad a member of a secret solider team on a mission to rescue a scientist by the Name of Rosenthall. You soon realize that you and the Koreans are not the only ones on the island as a mysterious force is picking off your team. The story is pretty decent and overall keep me playing throughout the 10 hours of story. While the games story is decent the graphics are still the best. The enviorment and textures look great and the use of the cry engine 3 makes the game run excellent. There is some graphical hitches such as a choppy frame rate when there is too much going on and due to the lack of antiailsing the trees and textures have rough edges witch can distract from the otherwise beautiful experience.

Game play- The game follows a similar premise of other fps's with a few twists. You have complete access the the nano suit which has 4 core functions Speed, Strength, Armor, and cloak. These can provide tactical advantages to the game giving you the option for example you can sneak around all the guards or you can go in guns a blazing with armor mode. There are also a decent variety of guns such as sniper rifles, rocket launchers, machine guns, shotguns as well as other "interesting weapons". You can also summon super human strength and grab enemys by the throat and throw them like rag dolls which is really fun. There are also side missions you can complete witch can help you get enemy locations helping you with future missions. Unfortunatly the non inclusion of the multiplayer expansion crysis wars can kill the replay value for this game since there is nothing else other than the story.

Bottom Line- Is the game worth a buy? Well that depends do you want to play crysis on your ps3 and want it to look good then pick it up from the playstation store or xbl marketplace. But if you want more replay value then look elsewhere the game is only for people that didnt yet experience the crysis story and want a fun time with the single player. This game is a solid 8.5 out of 10 

Medal Of Honor Review i

When i heard there was a new Medal Of Honor Game I was a Little skeptical. Not only was this the first time it was to be set during a different time it was to be set in current day Afghanistan. This is still a very sore area for many people and i was worried about how they portray the soldiers that die everyday. Thankfully Ea pulled This off very well. Their are some bugs but that shouldn't detract from the overall experience.

Presentation and Story
Overall The game looks stunning.The games run off the frostbite1.5 engine that powered Battlefield Bad company 2. Lighting effects are nice and explosions are realistic. Textures are also crisp and realistic with the implementation of destructible cover But unfortunately The night levels don't have as much polish. Levels at Night can be too dark and mission are Not clearly marked at all times. There is also the issue of Frame rate with this game. Since The ps3 and xbox 360 are only capable of certain things this can be a very annoying issue with too much happening on the screen at the same time and the system not being able to keep Up. The story is of two soldiers in the ever growing war against terror. Unfortunately like many other fps both protagonists are silent. This is a problem because there is no character development here which can leave you feel like you cant connect to them. Lastly The game is short it will take you about 6-7 hours to beat an there is also a multi player portion This what you most likely will be playing for a while.

Game play- Now we're down to the meat and bones of the game. This a Fps so its very straightforward. You are in the middle of a war zone and you clear out a set amount of enemies using pistols,shotguns,grenades and machine guns. The missions switch between the the two soldiers similar to that of Call Of Duty. There are also stealth missions and vehicle driving missions that feel refreshing unfortunately though there are not enough missions to keep the game felling fresh and cause the game to become a repetitive shooting gallery. The inclusion of multi player is a great one. There are custom classes, kill streaks, and other unlock ables. I kinda wish That DICE put in a create a character function but i believe they did an admirable job just like they did with battlefield bad company 2.

Conclusion- The question everyone wants to know is it is a good game. By all means yes it is. Sure there are some technical problems but they can be looked passed. This game is one of the best shooters out There. In  My book its an        8.5 I hope you enjoyed this review i will link my video review below.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAqpW5_T1ew
