The Future of Civil War

 You might not know this, but I have the power to predict the future. I was able to predict that Palutena was going to be on Smash  months before she was announced , I kept saying  that Ubisoft was going full EA from Assassin's 3 and I knew that the last Hunger Games book was going to be split from the moment I heard there are 3 books,among other things. I was also able to predict some smaller things about my personal life, so understandably I have started calling myself "The Great Prophet". So I am once again going to predict the future right now. I am going to predict the plot of Captain America 3: Civil War. So I guess spoilers forthe future movies Avengers 2 and Cap 3, as well as the general comics story Civil War. So don't come crying to me when I am innevitably correct on what I say(however don't shy away from sacrificing your first-born on my name if you feel the need to do that).

 What is the War going to be about? Well I feel that the general main theme is going to be the same. For some reason  the american goverment passes a law that forces heroes to reveal their identities ,get military training and work under SHIELD as basicly police men. That is called the Super Human Registration Act, and if someone doesn't register they are hunted and put to prison. Even people like the Punisher are asked to register even thought they lack powers. Villains are also allowed to register. Naturally some heroes are pro registration and some are anti registration, but I will go deeper on those later.

 Why does the war start? In the comics a hero team called New Warriors  causes a mutant villain  named  Nitro to explode in a populated area killing 600 people including 60 kids and all the Warriors but one. That causes the American goverment to push the Act. If you think that kinda sounds like a 9/11 alegory , you are kindaright. It is even name dropped once in the comics. However I don't think that is how it will go down in the movie. Firstly I don't think anyone will want to draw any paralels with 9/11 for a Superhero movie. Secondly, the New Warriors story won't work, mostly because they have no movie and Nitro, being a mutant, currently is under Universal Studios. I believe that the begining factor is going to be in Age of Ultron.  In the trailer we can see Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch at the side of Ultron( allright let's get sidetracked here for a sec. Does anyone else feel it's a waste that Scarlet Jonhason won't play Scarlet Witch? Or that since Ryan Reynolds will play Deadpool for Universal he is unlikely to play Sentry aka Robert Reynolds?Let's get back on track). Also the fact that Iron Man brings out the Hulkbuster I feel that Hulk will be one more factor.

 Who plays on which team? I don't think the sides will change that much. Iron-man and Maria Hill will be pro and Cap, Falcon and Fury will be anti. Black Panther was also announced to appear , and he will either keep the same role as the comics (anti) or he will most probably become neutral. Also the fact that we will Ant-Man between Avengers 2 and Cap 3, Hank Pym will keep being team pro with Scott Lang ( 2nd Ant-man but the main guy on the movie) will follow him,but this is were my visions get hazy.Now about the rest of the Avengers IF they play I guess Hulk,Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will be either anti or hiding,Thor pro or neutral(Thor was ...complicated in the comics),and Hawkeye and Widow are wildcards to the point that I won't be surprised to have them end on opposite sides but I can't tell which. People who have read the comics know why this is tragic. Everyone who has an interesting Civil War story is missing. The Fantastic Four split up during the whole endeavor but are owned by another company, She-Hulk is Pro but fights the registration legally  but she doesn't exist yet, but the most tragic loss is Spiderman. Spiderman is right in the midle of the War, Tony Stark almost blackmails him amd he takes of the mask on a press conference and when he switches sides he almost dies at the hands of Ironman trying to protect Mary Jane and May while they get out of the Stark building, and when they move to a cheap hotel  Aunt May gets shot by a sniper send from Kingpin to kill Parker, and then the later brings back the black suit. And then Sony denied to make THAT story to a movie. Dumbasses.Instead we will have the story of the two most boring characters. It has one interesting thing from my point of view.Tony Stark is the guy that you are supposed to be against yet the one that has legit reasoning, while Cap is the one you are rooting for,  but he is dumb as a brick. I guess you can make a movie out of this.

 Who wins? Now this is the tricky part.Well in the comics, during the final showdown,New York is getting destroyed by the battle bewtween heroes. The death count was I think 60 something people, only two of them heroes. Captain America realizes that what he is doing doesn't help the average american and gives himself to the police. Later, he still claims that he believes the registration is wrong. Ironman becomes the SHIELD main guy and the majority of heroes and now "good" villains were separated to 50 different smaller teams throught Stark's 50 state initiative to police each state, and Stark with Ms.Marvel(my 2nd favourite female hero btw) formed the Mighty Avengers. Some of the anti-reg heroes kept underground, with Spiderman giving his marriage to the Mephisto (yes,Satan)  to remove everyone's memory of his secret identity, while other heroes fleed to Canada. Is this going to happen in Cap 3? NO! Why? Look at the title: CAPTAIN AMERICA: Civil War. Also we are planing this Avengers Infinity War thingy and we kinda want Cap on it. My guess is that really they just want to have Cap and Stark trading punches without raping the Movie Universe up the B-hole. I believe that now Stark will be the guy realizing he is wrong and give up. That way we have both of them nice and friendly.

 To summarize, the reason will be different, most of the main and interesting characters from the comics will be missing, sides could be different, and the outcome might get reversed. That is prophesied by me, The Great Prophet.

Darthleon's Small Subjects 2

The Youtube Ads of DOOM

 Alright I am joking I don't mind most of them. The of DOOM ones thought are the ones that annoy me the most.You know what makes them Ads of DOOM? In the 5 seconds it takes for me to skip them the of DOOM ads ask me to not press the skip button."If you press skip my father won't buy me a lolipop." says a little boy from an ad for car insurance company.A lesser man would probably write some kind of joke giving accurate anatomic instructions  on how one could pontentially insert said lolipop in his body."If you are full of positive energy you won't press skip." says an ad for a juice. Well good thing that I am an incurable passive agressive jerk and thus don't qualify."You,yes you, that is about to press skip,wait to learn about our new offer.."says an ad from a company that wants to sell me internet,obviously lacking the common sense that I am online when I am viewing this very ad. Naturally when you tell me to not press skip expect me to start pressing skip 2 seconds before the timer runs out.Kuddos however to the Youtube ads of LOVE, who are 4 seconds long, get to the point and don't force me to turn on Spotify to listen to music.

Shyamalan Videogame

Yes,I said it.I will agree that Shyamalan has a pretty bad track record. He is a pretty bad writer and a pretty bad producer, and let's not even talk about his acting.But let's admit something: Even in his worse, he can makes things look pretty.I hate the Avatar movie as much as the next person but both the fight in Pohuai Stronghold(read: the fight that Aang is acombanied by the Blue Spirit) and the scene in the Spirit Oasis are very good looking. After Earth also LOOKED very nice,especially whenever  Jaden wasn't in the picture.So take Shyamalan in,and have him direct things.Keep him as far away from the writing desk and the gameplay department and have him just direct scenes and maybe design locations.As a guy that stands by his opinion that Journey is the best game he has ever played  and believes that Bioshock Infinite was beter before the guns were introduced I believe it is worth our time  to at least try.Worst case senario he makes a horrible game. It's not like we don't have any of those is it? If noone has done that before my game company is famous enough to hire him , I  give my word I will do it. Of course I will be holding a ruler with which to smack his hands every time he goes near the writers.

The Evilest of Plans(part 1)

 You might not know this yet, but one day you are all going to be under my rule.I shall conquer this pitiful planet with nothing more than Metax and my genius.Understadably you may wonder:"How can you even dream such things?".Well you see I have my plans.One of them is a bomb in a city of strategic significance."But darthleon,haven't you seen spy movies? The good guy always defuses the bomb with like 1 second left ."That's is when my plan shines. My bomb will randomly chose  a timestamp that,once reached,the bomb will explode.That way when someone looks at the bomb he might think that he has enough time but trully he doesn't know when the bomb will really go off. Naturally the randomly chosen time will not be 0 or 00:01. Maybe 00:02 . Haven't decided yet.

Mr Old Darthleon

 Alright I am going to totally sound like my grandpa but fuck it,most of these small subjects is me complaining about trivial shit anyway.So facebook.Yes by the mere mentioning of the word many of you already agree with me,no matter the subject, but let's continue anyway.People on facebook write in many ways. Take my father for example,he rights nice and clean greek. Some other people ,maybe to "sound" deep or smart, overuse punctuation marks with complete disregard to their true use........... Others,like myself,chose to write in greeklish, which is the writing of greek words with english symbols,like Leonidas.Then others wrt lk ths.Tht's stpd n anng n it gvs me hedchs.I know that I can understand it but I would like to be able to read your shit without needing drugs and a stupid to greek translator. Again, I know I sound like my grandpa and it's ironic that I write in greeklish but at least we have orthography(yes that is a word,yes it is like that in english).

Darthleon's Small Subjects 1

Small Subjects is basicly small things that they won't get more than 1 pragraph to explain therefore don't get a chance in this blog.So I am giving them a chance to shine along their brotherin.

The F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Paradox

 I don't like FRIENDS. The reason why? I have been "cursed" with the ability to remember the plot of everything I liked.Games,movies,comics,anime,if it has a plot and I like it I remember the plot. That is a curse because I like mystery stories and basicly I can't rewatch/replay a mystery something and have the same fun as I did the first time.That same "curse" causes the Friends paradox.I remember the plot of the episodes I liked while I forget the bad ones. As a result I feel like everytime I see a good episode I have seen it 100 times while every episode that feels new is always shit. Result: I am never happy watching friends. And yes the series' title has deteriorated in this paragraph on purpose, like the series in my brain.

No More Zombies

 I know this subject is as unique as an atom of oxygen on Earth but I am truly zombied out.Actually I was zombied out from Last of Us.And that was the first zombie game I ever played.Huh. Guess I never really liked zombies? I don't see the appeal of them.We have hundreds of other perfectly good monsters.Also if you dare say "The horde is scary" I counter with bugs.Anyway since we established that it's just me that doesn't like zombies you keep at it media.I will still jude you because I am an asshole,but keep at it.

The first glass of milk

 I keep seeing that question online ,quite often too.It's one of those questions that makes so much sense and feels so deep when it first comes to your mind, but then you do realize that is trivial and maybe stupid.What was the first farmer that milked a cow thinking? Sounds like a nice and logical question,right? To answer that question in a way that makes sense to me, that farmer probably noticed that the same way his wife fed his baby milk with her breast the wild cow fed her baby with her mammaries.While risking his life, he milked that cow and then took yet another risk to try it. Realized it tasted good and was lucky that not only was it not poisonus,but quite good for humans. Basic science.

The one thing Sonic Boom did right

 Sonic's new voice is not as annoying as the previous.The end.

About Damsels in Distress

  Disclaimer:This article does not represent Darthleon's or Metax's views on feminism,or the female part of the Earth population.In fact if you read this article you will notice that I make very little comments on genders or gender roles.That said if you are not on Earth right now you are a total bitch. Regardless of sex.
  A couple of weeks ago I said in one of my videos that Princesses Peach and Daisy are a total waste of zeroes and ones.That is a pretty ballsy thing to say about the female character that has appeared in the most videogames.That pretty much sums up my opinion on all females that are  there just to  be a nice little trophy for the hero to save.Wow that was a pretentious sentence to write.Alright let's back it up a bit.
 Let's see if I can explain that with normal people terms.Way back in the day game cartridges had a VERY limited space to hold their game in.Stuff like dialog and introductory text were not an easy thing to save in them. Getting a single line of dialog could mean that you either had to take a scissor to your credits or to your poor baby,cutting a level or a music track . As the years passed programers got better with the tools they had,even in the same generation.That is why we see games that have more in the same cart in the later years or them. But as a developer you probably wanted your game to have a story,some kind of narative.What is a very simple story you can tell  just with images you already have? Bad guy kidnaps your girlfriend,go save her.Simple right? And that's how the damsels entered the game industry.Peach,Zelda,every girl from Final Fantasy ever,girl from Mother,the princess from the Capcom game with Arthur,even GODDESS Palutena needs saving in the original Kid Icarus. Not every game did it with women( read Megaman saves Dr L/Right his father) or at all (read Metroid),but a lot of them were on that subject.Basicly those characters are tools to an end,that being giving the gamer a direction,a goal.But using a woman as a tool is despicable,right?*smacks you in the hand with a ruler* NO!
 Let's asume that you(yes YOU) are making a game.The game should have a story to fit your vision. Naturally that story has characters.So who do you,the developer care for the most? A)The story's characters or B)The gamer.I sure hope you know the right answer.You are making a GAME your number 1 corcern is the GAMER( and making money I guess but that's for another day).If you want to write a story about some characters go write a book( I am not shaming you,go write a book). The point I am trying to frame here is that you should not let technical limitations limit your entire vision, so if you must you can just abuse characters to  complete it.And just to clarify to the stupidest of you, it's ok to use FAKE women(and men and dogs and whatever you feel like) in a story,if that is the only way to complete what you want.And back then that was one of the very few ways.
 But let's fast forward to today.Today we have Blu-rays disks that have 25GB of memory and Steam and internet speeds that allow us  to get  HUGE games at any time.The above excuse doesn't hold any water.Seeing the situation of women in games, today is a far better age to be the girl character in a game.Girls are in control of whole games by themselves(Tomb Raider,Bayonetta,Beyond,Remember me) or are great supportive characters(Halo,Kingdom Hearts) that sometimes even outshadow the male main character(Bioshock Infinite,Last of Us,Walking Dead).However some girls keep getting kidnapped for no better reason than because "that's what girls do amiright". No.Mr game developer, or Ms,not pointing fingers here.That was ok way back in the day where we didn't have much of a choice.While the characters of your story are not as important as the game itself,we have grown up and the industry has evolved with us.We expect you to bring new tools.
 As always,I am not the guy that just points out a problem and gives no solutions.Actually I am here to propose several.But yet again let me make an example.As mention before, your main corcern is the gamer,not the story characters.Write good enough characters and we will forgive missteps(unless we have another agenda and decide to complitelly ignore the rest of the message,in which case we are stupid idividuals).And to prove my point I will show  you an example of a good female character and a bad female character with one anime series Code Geass(I am the first to use the word anime in this blog,better step up your game Metax).EXTREME SPOILERS ON CODE GEASS!During the end of season 1 Princess Euphemia is killed by the Japanesse rebel forces.Why? Because Lelouch(the main character) had an accident with his power and brainwashed her to kill all the Japanese people.And that was TRAGIC. Poor Euphemia wanted to liberate Japan,equality for everyone fix what the British empire brought to them and she was so sweet that watching more that one episode with her brought you diabetes. Her death reduced me to tears.This has happened only four times(in Lion King, Fullmetal Alchemist and Kingdom Hearts Days).On the other hand  we have Shirley a character so forgetable I googled her as "schoolgirl that had a crush with lelouch" . That is her only character trait really. She was a nuisance in Season 1 and then a nuisance in Season 2,where she was finally killed of and we were supposed to care because the scene took like 4 minutes.Good ridance is what I say.
 Treat your audience with respect by writing good characters,not good endings for your characters is the first solution.One good example is Zelda.Sure she needs help a lot,but the blow is definetly softer. In many games she is very helpful,downright necesary, in a couple games she is not even kidnapped and many times she actually protects herself,she is just not too good at it. Also she is kidnapped for a good reason:she is easier to find.Ganondarf has no interest in her,just the Triforce of Wisdom, that the fucking princess of the land has. An easier target than the stupid hero that at this time is probably braking pots outside a dungeon somewhere,probably in this dimension. Furthermore saving Zelda is just a bullet point,not  the main objective.Saving the kingdom is what's important here.And that is another way to soften the cliche.Also if the saviour is a party of characters,saving the princess because that is only one of their objectives,other being loot and the kingdom.
 Another way to fix this problem is making EVERYONE need help. Example: Kingdom Hearts. Alright let's put this to sleep,Kingdom Hearts is NOT sexist.Yes the girls of those games need saving too,but literally everyone needs help.Kairi's heart is trapped ,better save her.King Mickey and Riku are trapped in a world of darkness,better find them.Sora's memories are fucked up,better fix em.He is not waking ,better find the reason why.Xion can't use the Keyblade,better pull double duty.Sora can't beat the enemy,better give Kairi a keyblade and help him.Ventus is too young to travel the universe,better bring him back.Terra may have too much darkness in him better make sure he doesn't fuck up.I even avoided a bunch of people because extreme spoilers.It's okay in my book if the girls in a world need help,when the rest of the cast needs just as much saving as them if not more.So the next person that says KH is sexist will get punched in the throat.Except for Metax,he will say it after reading this article.Basicly my point is change Damsel in Distress to X in Distress.Natually it doesn't have to be Man saves Woman.Or even the saviour and the in Distress be of diferent sex.
 One last way is have the in Distress be completelly incapable to save themselves,but not because they are weak.One example is Ace Attorney. Maya needs a lot of help,but she literally can't help herself because she has no legal knowledge.Phoenix helps himself,and even another attorneys(yes Edgeworth would have the right to defend himself techically speaking) but he sorta knows what he is doing.You need a laywer to help you with law problems.
 The smarter of you may have noticed something about my article.Nowhere  have I proposed removing the In Distress cliche.There is a reason for this: we can't remove it.We won't because we can't.People will need saving.It makes for good stories.Imagine a game industry where noone needed saving.All the games I have mentioned so far would go out of the window.What I am saying is make the stories smarter.I started shaming Peach,because she is a relic in a ever moving industry.She defies everyting I said.Prime example Mario Galaxy.When Bowser attacks she has no army protecting her and she doesn't even run or fight back like in Mario RPG or Smash,choosing to be helpless.And why does Bowser kidnap her again?She is a trophy for Mario.Not for the player,not anymore at least.A player would be happier to save a FUCKING GALAXY rather than a stupid Princess.Just have Rosalina show up and be all like"Ok Bowser is trying to ruin the galaxy and you know him better than anyone.Deal with it.Oh hi Peach,nice earings".And the game would be the same.So Peach is a trophy for Mario,a literal waste of zeroes and ones ,and everyone following her lead is just as big a waste.

So many Sherlocks!

Before we start let's bring some meaning to what I am about to write.First this is my OPINION.Your input is not going to change it. It is what I like and what I feel, it's not something objective like bugs in videogames. A buggy videogame can be fun the same way a well programed game can be shit. However you have to respect the second for not having bugs. Ok I am getting out of topic so back on track.Second Sherlock Holmes is one of my childhood heroes. I don't know how many people my age can say this but it is true. I fondly remember seeing some old series in a small channel. Like black and white old. They trully have shaped me, as I absolutelly love detective mysteries nowadays,So I am very touchy on the Sherlock subject. Also I have read the books but the books don't mater.
 I shall also only talk about the 2 big series going on right now , Sherlock and Elementary, as well as the movies with Ironman Robert Downy Jr.I tried to find the Sherlock in the 22nd century series but it is kinda hard to find and I have on purpose avoided the Detective Opera Milky Holmes anime in fear of it being shit.I promised that I will see at least one episode at some point but it is not this day. So let's play it safe.
 The movies were amazing with great humour and effects and the stories were pretty cool.The setting was a bit sketchy but fun nonetheless. I like to think that it's thanks to them that we curently live in a Sherlock utopia.Their effect can be seen the most on Dr.Watson. From a passive Dr. who was there mostly to keep Sherlock company he became much more agresive and present.And that is good. Keeping his simple mind from the books so that Sherlock is not overshadowed, but actually doing stuff, other than just shooting.Robert Downy also was great. He brought humour to a character that was mostly just serious. Again, a good thing. They also kept Sherlock's class,while taking out the drugs.Those two are important to me, as you will see later.I know Sherlock took drugs,but that won't stop me from being happy about that.Lastly, the music score is amazing.
 Now let's talk about Elementary. Elementary started airing a couple of weeks ago and was basicly the reason to write this article.I need to just vent my frustration so here comes. Elementary's Sherlock Holmes is not Sherlock Holmes. He is Sherlock just by name. Don't get me wrong, I like Elementary very much. It's just not Sherlock.He lacks everything that makes Sherlock who he is: his class, his seriousness,the trouble he goes thought just because he is smart.He is fun and smart,yes, he just lacks everything else.Before you whine thought, I love Lucy Liu's Joan Watson. It sure brings something new to the table, and helps eliminate one other bad trait of Sherlock,his sexism. Miller is also very fun to watch and the stories are very good too.What I don't like very much is the whole Sherlock is in rehab thing.WE GET IT. HE DID DRUGS. STOP CALLING ATTENTION TO IT.
 Now let's end this with my favourite of the three,Sherlock.There is really not much I could say about that.Just read what I wrote for the movies again and just replace words. Ok maybe not. Like the movies Benedict is fun and plays an amazing Sherlock and Freeman is an amazing Watson. Like the movies the effects are great and the score is awesome. Also this is the series that follows the books as close as possible ( I think, I have read the books but I can't remember every little thing), so the stories hit a spot that the other two miss. The villains are also very interesting, again something I can't say the others have.I love how they brought those stories to today's era of technology,best example being the first episode.Even my least favourite story,the one with the hound,was interesting.
 However because I am not allowed to  end articles on a positive note let me talk about one problem I have with all the above.STOP IT WITH IRENE ADLER! JUST STOP.Sherlock doesn't need a love interest.In the book she is a character for a small story.Yes she is the only woman he respects but it is just that,respect.Just stop.

Why numbers suck(A respond to Projared's review of Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright)

I guess it is serious time now. So on the 10th of September Projared put his 1 minute review of PLvsPW. You can view it by clicking here. In the end he gives the game a 6/10. This means that the game is just above average.
Before I start let me make something perfectly clear.This is not against Projared. I have infinite respect for the man.He is a very good and fair reviewer. This is also not against the review itself. Everything Jared said was  absolutelly correct. He did not mention that the FPS actually take a deep every now and then, especially when some characters have some extra stuff on them, probably because they add stuff on top of the old models instead of making new ( at least that is the case in the eu version, I don't know if they fixed  that in the us). I have the problem with the number. The 6/10.
I know that that doesn't mean that the game is bad. It means it is kinda good with a bunch of probelms. To say the truth I would give the game a very close grade too (7.5 in case you ask). But this is not the first time this happens. About a year and a half ago he reviewed  Metal Gear Rising Revengeace giving it a 4/10 . Needless to say that caused an uproar. But he was right. About every single point ( defensive/offensive is still not a block don't go there). What made people angry was the number. THE NUMBER! Look at the comment now. Who disagrees with his points? Noone. It's all about the number.
Numbers suck.Numbers are cold.They don't tell me if you liked the game. Or rather they are too specific about how much you liked a game.They don't tell me what is wrong about the game either. Numbers are a trap. And I have fell in that trap. Back in my KH retrospective I said that if I had to be fair with the game I gave it a 7.5 while if I followed my heart or how much fun the multiplayer was then I would give it a 9. The thing is thought I am not a reviewer.  Trully nobody in this world cares about my opinion , at least at the time of writing this review ( hopefully that changes in the future).
What I am getting at is that reviews should not be acombanied by a number. Numbers suck. Unfortunatelly, people are willing to just look at the numbers that appear on a site, or a video review, than read or listen to rest of the review. Even if it is only less than a minute long. Or they emphasize to just the number.
What I am looking for in a review ( and guess what you should be looking for) is the problems the game has, both subjective and objective, and whether or not the reviewer liked that game, along with access to previous works of that reviewer for cross-reference. When it comes to Projared, I trust him very much. I feel we have a lot of common tastes. We have only disagreed once ,on Bioshock Infinite, but I have disagreed with the universe on that one so it does not count.It is not his fault, or any reviewer's fault really. It's the human nature that is in wrong here because we trust numbers more that words to save time and ,as I have mentoned , numbers suck.

P.S. I would very much love to actually hear whether or not Projared liked PLvsPW.Just a yes or no.

Darthleon VS: Sega

Let's introduce a new series,shall we? In the "Darthleon VS:" I will basicly talk about the thing I'm "against". It doesn't  need to be a company. Just something. In this case Sega. Yeah.

So Sega. Do people like sega atm? Let's assume not. And I kinda agree. Sega was pretty important. Like VERY important. Back in the good old days during that I didn't  exist Sega was as strong as Nintendo, having their own Mario and their own consoles. Unlike Nintendo though their last console was crushed by Sony  and they eventually went to just being a third-party developer. This is however history. History that everyone knows too.Why am I telling you all that? Well mostly so that you can understand how important Sega is.Was. Whatever.
I haven't played many Sega games besides what has Sonic in it. And,truth be told, that's what Sega is known for . So here is what is up with Sega. If Sega was a student, it's that kid that is AMAZING at music and brings some good  essay every now and then. Actually his homework is either a 10/10 or a total F. No middle grounds. Some really amazing games can be found, like Heroes,Collor and Generation , and there as some real shits in there like R, 06 and the Seven Rings. And it's not like they want to be bad. They have some nice ideas, they just slip every now and then. However only one thing cannot be denied. THEIR MUSIC IS AMAZING! Even the worst of the worst have great music. And not just gaming music. Music you can actually hear outside and not be exostracized for that. Well I guess time for some confesion too. My favourite game ever is, unfortunatelly, a Sega game. I can't be too evil on Sega even if I want to.And I want to. But I cant. I want to admit how they always fail in a new way but they always try something new even if it is shit and it is always accompanied by amazing music. I feel like im repeating myself so let's just end this.
I wanted to come here and write something evil but in the end I could not do it. Truth is that sega holds a small position in my heart.A very small one.I guess I just fell short.

The Last of Us VS Walking Dead

 So suprisignly I have been playing a lot of zombie games of last year lately for some reason.I don't have a thing for zombies really.I never  really cared.The first game that I played with zombies in them is probably Minecraft if memory serves right.But these last 2 weeks were full of the Undead suprisingly.Ohh and when I say Walking Dead I mean the TellTale one,not the shitty fps one.
 Before you  complain about how unfair I am against Last of Us because i just love choices and stories that interchange I will actually *ignore* that.And no i don't watch the series either.And before you tell me that those games are diferent I will tell you that they are both story-driven games based in world with zombies and that is enough of reason for me  to compare them.I am willing to go with less,like compare the original Mega Man with Bioshock Infinite on the fact that you shoot robots in both games(weak comparison really because in Mega Man I actually wanted to keep playing[yes that's a burn for Bioshock]).
 So sick burns aside let's first look at WHO made these games.Let's start with Naughty Dog mostly because my "relationship" with this company is more complicated.So Naughty Dog.What can I say about it that hasn't be said.I know:It's the most "the fuck you even" company I know.So what Naughty Dog does is this:
A) Make awesome game.B)Make some below average sequels.C)Kill the francice with a racing game. D)GOTO A. I didn't like Uncharted sure, but they are fine games and the only one that skiped C(so far). And unsuprisigly they yet again nailed step A with the last of us. GJ Naughy Dog on that, just make sure the PS4 game you are making isn't Uncharted Ruin Racing or some shit.On the other hand we have Telltale,the company that "has made every game ever".No really: Law and Order,Jurasic Park(awesome),Tales of Monkey Island(awesome),Hector(meh) and even a Poker game with Glados,Clap-trap and that copy of Bionic Commando.And Walking dead now,or like a year ago.Big fan here,so I have to give that point to Telltale.Oh sorry my contractors said I am not supposed to give points.Never mind then.
 Next up is the  zombies,cause not talking about  the zombies in zombie games is like not talking about the towers in a tower defence game.Walking dead is litarally that,corpses that move on a fairly slow rate.They are the good old zombies we all know and hate.We are all infected and if you die you become one of them.Bites only kill you faster.Shoot em on the head and they die forever.Maybe like the series maybe not. The last of us zombies are more unique.Its actually infected here with some kind of mushroom that controls the host.Breathing in the spores of that fung and you become one of them.But for some reason the bite also work, are there spores in their teeth maybe?Never mind that.There are three kind of infected.Runners, the newly infected that can see, the Clickers the long time infected that cant see but hear impecably and cause insta-death and the Bloaters that throw some shit  and have big defence.Gotta admit that LOS did it better.You could argue that there were more than one type of zombies on WD because each zombie is unique but than I would tell you that even thought the LOS zombies are basicly copy paste versions of each type these zombies are actually differently dressed depending on the area.Heck, in an area that there were a lot of soldiers the zombies of that area wore helmets making them harder to headshot.So yeah point to LOS.Alright I'll stop it with the points.
 Story wise I was kinda disapointed in the fact that they both tackled a lot of common themes. Caniballism ,are zombies still alive in there, kill yourself or stay to fight etc. I guess that some HAD to be tackled by both sides and just a couple would be fine I guess. Anyhow I kinda feel that WD did it better.Not just the choices(which is fucking important but I promised) for one important reason:LOS is twenty years after the begining of the apocalypse.Basicly I could say the exact same for the general cast, WD did it better. You can can actually see these people trying to figure their situation out, planning,exploring,crying,investigating stuff like Batman and Robin, betraying each other. Yeah some of these are there in LOS but in LOS there is in a sense a rebuilt society.They know what to do, how to act in cases.Also WD has choices which is pretty important.
 The main characters also have a common formula:A grown man and a little girl.Joel(voiced by Troy Baker *high piched fangirl scream* I,m sorry) and Ellie on LOS and Lee and Clementine on WD.Their relationship is pretty diferent.Between the LOS couple the chemisty is the same as the one between Hydrogen Sulfide and Nitric Acid.Unexpectedly explosive.All the dialogs are around the fact that Troy Baker can't pronounse the words "thank you" and "good job".Lee and Clem on the other hand is super cute.Lee just wants to do just protect Clem,not just from the zombies but from the world itself.It feels more organic.Joel does turn around a bit and he isn't just a jerk that hates every single thing that smiles.Ellie feels better thought.She carries a knife and murders people.Knows how to shot and murders people.She can protect herself.And murder people.Clem on the other hand is in constant need of help.She learned how to shoot mid game and actually helped in the last chapter of episode 4.So yeah 10 points to Gryffidor.
 And let's get to the cherry of the cake.The Gameplay.Ok these is different in each game.LOS reminds me of the Metal Gears kind of style.You can stealth or you can go guns ablaizing.The second one is kinda discouraged but you can do it.Heck even running away from your opporents is a viable option.Its a third person shooter. What's more to say?WD is a good point and click.Basic puzzles and no logic jumps.Not the kind of style that try everything with everything.Ok I promised I wouldn't do it but I have to emphasize to the choices now.Dialoging is half the game.Chosing what to say and remembering that  they will remember is most of what you do.
 Ok time for my epilogue.They are both wonderfull games that I love.Ok I like WD more, but mostly because I like puzzles and choices more than third-person shooting.That is the reason thought that WD got all the way to my top-10 games single handendly.But I really believe you should go for whatever floats your boats.It's actually one of the few times I won't judge.Now about that Megaman Vs Bioshock article.

Beyond two souls: What did I feel?

I said that beyond did one thing better than heavy rain. What is that you may ask. Well quite frankly it the feelings that made me feel. Not just the simple ones like panic and sadness. Yeah these are simple for a game to invoke. Throw some strict time based event or a strange boss an get panic. Kill off a character and get sadness. Heck even Dear Esther, the least game-like game could make you sad. NO! I am talking about anger, relief and happyness. ACTUAL anger,relief and happyness. Not "OMG THIS GAME IS SO HARD" rage, not "Thank god i beat the boss" relief and not "Yay i finished the game " accomplisment. Not gamer feelings, human ones. I was able to feel what Jodie and Aiden felt. I have never been so close to an avatar before. Yes I was sad for Phoenix when Maya was kidnapped. Yes I was happy for Ethan when he got his son back. Yes I had mad for the Apprentice when I found out he was nothing but a pawn for Vader. But in Beyond there was no "for". I actually wanted to murder those bullies that touched MY Jodie. I was actually relieved when Aiden learned how to fight the Entities. I was really about to cry when Jodie was almost raped( and my lil sis shed a tear or two). I was actually  happy when I helped deliver that baby. Sure they failed to make Beyond as good as Heavy Rain, but they yet again showed their genius(I'm in love get of my case). That did unfortunatelly made the army scenes pointless though. Oh well.

Beyond:not Heavy Rain 2

That is my main problem with the game really. Its a pretty good game. Not a amazing game but a pretty good one., Amazing voice acting( not suprised there cause Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe are playing the main characters, even if the latter felt kinda uncomortable),amazing graphics and a great story. My critisisms,my objective critisisms are quite specific. Music is bellow average(not a big surprise either from Quantic Dream but oh well),the plot seemed to lack some rules making Aiden do whatever needed to be done and on occasions the game was too dark. Not the deep story people die dark. I mean night dark which, compine with the new actio slow mo QTEs where you must see the direction Jodie is moving and make that,  make the game unplayable in hard because I CAN'T SEE MY FUCKING CHARACTER!!!Other than those things Beyond was a great game. However it was not Heavy Rain. "Well duh its in the name" I hear you think( yeah i can do that now). You know what I mean. It lacked one very specific ingredient. It still has 2/3 QD's main tropes. Everyone is a bad guy but the main characters and you are forced to do tedious stuff yourself like opening doors or drinking from your glass( btw I love that). But it lacked the most important one. You know it. CHOICES!!!!!!!1!!!1!!¡¡! Sure,  Beyond had *some* choices, but they were either unimporant or you basicly chose the ending you like. Really. It literally asked me with whom do I want Jodie to live with for the rest of her life. And that is all the major choices I can say without spoiling the whole game. And you know you WILL reach the ending because the game starts at the  end. That did not happen in Heavy Rain. Anyone could die at any moment. Something as simple as denying a drink can save your life. We are talking impact here. And that is the reason I am sad towards Beyond. HOWEVER.There is something that Beyond does better. And that is a whole diferent article.

Heavy Rain:The best interactive movie of all times.

I LOVE this game but I can't lie.I can't lie to myself,I can't lie to Metax(my only current reader) and I can't to you hopefully future reader.It's a movie.A amazing interactive movie.The only think this game has for gameplay is QTEs,which I know many people hate( I don't).Just QTEs.Press triangle, do this with your joystick,shake the controller as if you are choking a woman in a 80s film.That's it.So what makes such a game so special to me?CHOICES!!!!!!!!!!!!1!11!Half of this QTEs are what your characters say or chose to do.And these choices range from you helping your wife to one of your characters dying.The rest of the QTEs are just actions you must commit,and failing to do so will activelly change the story!And the story is AMAZING!And unlike Fahrenheit,the previous work of Quantic Dream and also an amazing game,the story is actually believable to the point you kinda forget this is a game.The immersion is super well done and they know excactly how to pull your strings.Let's actually try it right now:An old man is dying of heart attack infront of you and only you can save him.Do you do it?Of course.What if that guy killed the only woman you ever loved not two hours ago?Do you save him now?And what if the reason he did it was to save his son,the only person he loves?And this is one of the simplest choices of the game!This is done so well you actually begin to question what you would do in those cases.And that's why I would defend Heavy Rain and Quantic Dream with my life.But why am I writing this article.Well I have decided that this week or the next I am playing Beyond(which I still need to stop myself from calling "Curiosity" in my brain).You propably know it by now but I am going to talk about it anyway.Its the new game from Quantic Dream with the main characters played by Ellen Page(whose I am a minor fan only because she played Shadowcat in the X-men movies and I LOVE SHADOWCAT!) and William DaFoe(the good Green Goblin,not the Ultimate one).We follow Jodie Holmes who has a special power-spirit-psychic kind of dealio.I  am really hoping this game is better just for the sake of QD, but I do fear a Fahrenheit style ending.And trust me that's not good.

Kingdom Hearts 1-DDD Retrospective

I finished Kingdom Hearts 3D and found the secret ending (which someone told me was going to be far better that it actually was METAX),which actually made me kind of proud.And with KH2.5 coming this year and KH3 maybe probably next year-ish I decided it would be a good idea to make this retrospective of  all the Kingdom Hearts I have played.
Lets set some rules thought.For the sake of treating games equally I will:
A)Ignore the graphics QUALITY.I will in a sense asume that all the games from 1 to 3D has the excact same graphics.That doesn't mean I won't discuss em.I will just be more fair to them.This rule is also here because SQUERE ENIX CAN'T AFTER 28 YEARS CLIP THE FUCKING SWORD IN THE FUCKING HAND!
B) Grade out of 10 and then give the Metacritic's ranking, mostly because I am NOT a professional critic.I *could* say the same about metacritic but its not the time nor the article for my sick burns.
C)Will completelly and totaly ignore final mixes, .5s ,remixes and multigame multimixes.I made up the last one,but you get the point.Exception of this rule will be the RE:coded,for reasons explained later.
And before we begin in our epic journey thought Disney worlds I will note that I am going to "review" those games as they came out.For your sake thought here is the timeline of the games.It starts with Birth by Sleep,Kingdom Heart 1,Chains of Memories,358/2,Kingdom Hearts 2,Coded and finaly 3D.
Now kids sit by the fire and get ready for a story about monster depts,great perils and a hero whose ingenuity has been foretold in ancient prophecies.It's the year 2000.Square Enix is at the top of the world. Final Fantasy's success is so big that they decide to make a movie about it.Final Fantasy comes out early in 2001 and single handedly threatens SE with bancruptcy.But then the great hero Tetsuya Nomura appeared and started developing a game crossover between Final Fantasy and Disney, with the hopes to actually save SE.And on March 28th 2002 out came
Kingdom Hearts :
With beautiful worlds,amazing graphics for the time(well all praise given here,SE back then was pretty good with graphics anyways) and an above average story KH1 became super famous super fast.The fact that it had Donald and Goofy as main characters(Mickey became main later,he barelly in this one) as well as the existance of FF characters may or may not have helped that fame.But lets face it:this game was GREAT! The combat system was action packed and the boss fights pretty cinematic even for the noob gamers(like the author of this article,who was such an noob that finished the game with the kingdom key because he didn't know better).The story is not too deep however,to the point that it bears almost no significance to the overall series.Three kids Sora(our main character),Riku (a guy whose clothes,attitude and hair SCREAMS antihero) and Kairi(the we all know she is gonna be a love interest/damsel in distress later on girl) live on Destiny Islands,a tiny world/island.Kairi apparently is not from this world,so the guys decide to to help her find her world BY BUILDING A RAFT!Before they can make it thought their world is swalloed by Darkness and divides our heroes.Thought some magic mumbo-jumbo Sora appears to be able to summon and use the Keyblade,a key-shaped sword that is able do lock the world doors so that the Heartless can no longer enter and ends up in Traverse Town,a world between worlds.Meanwhile in Disney Castle,King Mickey(lol) asks Donald and Goofy to find and follow the person that holds the keyblade,and to eventually find him (Mickey). The duo begins their search from (of course) Traverse Town,where they find and follow Sora.The rest of the game has the jumping from world to world,closing doors and defeating Heartlesses(which are in a sense creatures whose hearts has been swallowed by Darkness,the stronger the heart the stronger the Heartless). But something is wrong as it appears that people,or rather specific girls, are being abducted from their worlds.Riku is also acting weirdly and Kairi seems... off .It appears that Maleficent is trying to collect the seven Dragon balls princesses with hearts of pure light to ressurect Goku Ansem,who has actually embraced darkness in his heart.Thought a series of events,Sora becomes a Heartless(it's gonna be important , sorry), Kairi brings him back,Ansem is defeated and Riku and Mickey are stuck in a world of pure darkness.While the story is full of cliches and rants about the importance of hearts and light, the game was revolutionary.So in my oppinion it totally deserves an 8/10(85/100 metacritic).The next in our list is 
Kingdom Hearts:Chain of memories
A GBA game.I am not going to lie,this is the black sheep of kingdom hearts.The story is amazing,don't get me wrong.Sora,Donald and Goofy are trapped in Castle Oblivion,a place where as they keep progressing they lose their memories.They keep going on thought because they sense Riku and Mickey.The castle is run by The Organization XIII however.The trio realizes that in this castle they can enter worlds from their memories,even if they keep losing them.They also learn about Nobodies,the other half of the people that lose their hearts to darkness and become Heartless.The Organization is a team of strong Nobodies that try to get their hearts back,and they (naturally) need Sora's keyblade for that.Or Riku's,who is also there.A million rants about memories and a complicated story later,Sora's memories are so fucked up that he needs to go to sleep to get them back,ending the story.But the problem lies in the gameplay.The amazing combat of KH1 is replace by a stupid card system which,in turn,forces gamers to a "correct" path of worlds just to be able to finish the game.It's possible to actually get so stuck that you may need to RESTART the game.And that is why I think it is worth a 6/10(76/100 metacritic).I guess it was kinda good for the game boy advance thought.They did remake it for the PS2 a couple of years later( earning the lower score of 68/100 on metacritic).Personally you are better of reading the manga and skip all the card bullshit.
Kingdom Hearts II
Kingdom hearts is back on the PS2 and the hype is so fucking on!Better story,better graphics,better combat and the promise of Mickey and Riku being playable?If you weren't a fan yet,you were socially forced to join the fray now.Almost everyone considers this game as the best KH game nowadays, and I will have to agree(but it's not my favourite).The story begins with Roxas and his friends in twilight town,and for some reason the days are being counted.A bunch of shit happens and you are so fucking confused.But the week passes and you are back to controling Sora,who finally after a year wakes up,not remembering the events of Chain of memories(I don't blame him).Our trio of cosmonauts keeps jumping from world to world with The Organization hot on his track.Nobodies are the main baddies this time around,and are greatly expanded upon,main trait being that they don't have feelings.Apparently The Organization wishes to complete Kingdom Hearts so that they can get their hearts back,finally giving the series title a meaning.Sora clears his way thought its members to the top,leading to a fight to Xemnas,Ansem's Nobody and Leader of the Organization.Lastly it is revealed that Roxas is Sora's Nobody from when he was divided in KH1.The game ends with Sora,Riku and Kairi on Destiny Islands getting a letter from Mickey,exciting us all for Kingdom Hearts 3,but little do we know that we HAVE TO WAIT FOR 11 YEARS FOR IT!The combat is amazing too,the boss fight are cinematic yet again and did you fail in one?Well worry not CAUSE KING MICKEY WILL SCHOOL HIS ASS.And for all thos reasons KH2 personally gets 9/10(86/100 metacritic).
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Ok I'm going to be simple and clean with this one.The gameplay has taken a small step backwards,the worlds are the same as KH1 and the graphics are kinda bad even for DS standards.And the story...umm how do I say this?Ok I promised I will be fair.The story is so boring in the begining I never finished the game. Neither the gameplay nor the story kept me going and after a couple of hours I gave up.BUT!I have seen the entiretty of the game's story(and realized how stupid I was) thought KH1.5.Our main character is Roxas this time around.He is a member  of The Organization.Once again the days are being counted,eventually reaching (drum roll please) 358 days after the "birth" of Roxas.Accompaning Roxas we have Axel( an awesome dude from Chains and 2 which I skipped talking about because spoilers on both occasions) and Xion, my first videogame girl crush.Yes I said it.Its now in the open for everyone to read.I fell in love with an imaginary charecter.It doesn't matter that she can't feel,I have enough love for both of us.Oooh wait did I say she can't feel? Well scrap that because if the game makes ONE thing clear is that NOBODIES FEEL.If it makes two things clear is that and that not everyone on The Organization is bad.Some just want their hearts back and the best way to do that is Organization XIII, even if it means fighting Sora even if they don't want to.Eventually the story gets quite complicated and VERY sad,even for KH standards and I promise that when I will get the chance I will return and finish this game.However what SHINES in this game is not it's story.Oh no!The best aspect of this game is it's Multiplayer.You can pick anyone from The Organization,all with their weapons and everything,and you can unlock Sora,Riku,Mickey and for the first time Donald and Goofy,to join a friend on a co-op mission or to try to kick each other's butt on PvP!All this makes this game hard to overall grade.The game is worse than KH1 but better than Chains,the story is also quite good and the multiplayer is there,yet the grade should not be as good as KH1.So I guess I will give it a 7.5/10(surprisingly 75/100 on metacritic even tought I grade before I look). I will have to now admit that if I wasn't being fair I would completely give 358/2 a 9/10 just for the well polished multiplayer,which better be in KH3 the way it is HERE or it better not be at all.Fuck, at this point in time when it cost 16$ on amazon go and fucking buy it just for the multiplayer if you have a friend or simbling that owns it.
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep.
Οk.Here it comes.It's time for the entire Internet to explode.Whether it's in my face or if everyone follows me to admit the same time only will tell.Birth by sleep is my favourite KH,the best PSP game EVER made and I believe it's the best KH game to date in my opinion.I said I wasn't going to critic graphics but BBS has the best KHs graphics,something worth mentioning.Gameplay is about the same as KH2,with the awesome addition of command fusing,a great mechanic to get new abbilities and magic.The story is amazing too,even for for KH standards.This time around you get to play as 3 people:Terra(a guy that you would not wish to fight),Ventus ( a kid that looks eerily like Roxas) and Aqua (my second crush from this series,DAMN YOU SQUERE!).All three are keyblade wielders,all living in the same world and all training to become Keyblade Masters.Judgment day comes for Terra and Aqua but Master Xehanort messes it up by using some magic mumbo-jumbo,in case you didn't guess he was a baddy by just looking at him.After that its 1v1 between Aqua and Terra,with the second letting a bit of darkness out ruling him out as a Master.Now they leave their world because Terra must strungle with his darkness,Aqua must make sure Terra doesn't lose to darkness and Ventus leaves because......his boyfriend is strungling with darkness?Gay jokes asside,you get to play their stories individually and as a gamer that has played this game thrice I would like to suggest Aqua first,which brings up the most questions,Terra second,because it answers most questions and Ven last for the dramatic end.Before I give my score I would like to mention that A) we learn that you can be absorbed by light the same way you can be absorbed by darkness B)There is a copy of the Days' multiplayer,but you can only chose one of your own 3 characters,making it obvious this was just an afterthought,making it the only shortcoming of this game.Ok some stupid worlds here and there,some kinda bad dialogs and some small plotholes (first to this series) are shortcoming but nothing to cry over.This game get undoubtedly a 9/10 (82/100 metacritic).
Kingdom Hearts Re:coded
Why Re?Well KH Coded came out only for Japanese mobile phones( with AMAZING graphics for 2008 phones might I add) in episodic form,like Telltale games.As you can guess by EVERYTHING in this blog I am not japanese.So I guess I am going to review the DS remake.Gameplay wise this game has the combat system of Days,the command fusion of BBS and it adds the quite lovely "Hacks" system,in which I will get a bit deeper in a few lines.Our story starts at Disney Castle,where King Mickey ask from Chip and Dale to make a machine so that they can read a strange Journal.This machine requires a "hero" to travel the Journal and that's how Data-Sora is "born".The whole games happens in Datascape a digital place.And that's where the "Hacks" come in.For Data-Sora to become better you must upgrade him by adding chips in him.Once some connections have been made you can access some Hacks which allow you to manipulate stuff like drop rates,enemy power and enemy life at the expence of lower life ,lower drops etc.Its a nice risk-reward thing,and what I did at the end was give Sora a item that leaves him with 1% life,cranked my life to 2%,the enemy life to as low as possible and the dificulty to Maximum and blaze thought everything with my commands.Back to the story front,I will admit the story is too forgettable and meaningless you could really skip it.It add very little to the overall series,the world are the same as KH1 with some twists here and there,like Traverse Town going 2D for a while and Hercules' world being like entirelly like FF like RPG.I'm sad to say but this game gets a 6.5/10(66/100 on Metacritic).
Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance.
Here we are.Last in this series.Let's get the big lie out of the picture:3D(as in the graphics 3DS has not the game)was 
clearly an afterthought.Like they were preparing this for normal DS and they just changed course mid-project.If you put it next to,let's say Kid Icarus, you can see the difference.Gameplay is kinda the same yet kinda different.Combat is the same with the addition of Flowmotion,which is,for lack of better term, magic parkour.What was also added were the Spirits(UGH).You can create Spirits to help you fight,give you new abilities and they are also the multiplayer kinda like pokemon battles.Quite frankly I hate em.Story is strange too.The story follows both Sora and Riku thought their Test for Keyblade Mastery.Problem is,you play both stories at the same time,unlike BBS.This is done thought the Drop system.You are given a  time limit with both characters and once thats done your character "drops" i.e. goes to sleep.And that could happen anytime like during a boss fight.Most of the worlds are new, and even the old ones like Traverse Town are given new stories (Traverse Town is now inhabited by the characters from The World Ends With You).The middle worlds do feel a bit rushed but thats okay.I will not mention any further story because this would spoil all of the beans, but I will say that the overall story is pretty good.I give this game a 7/10(75/100 on metacritic).
And this is it all folks.I will write eventually what i expect for KH3 on another article but now all my energy is spent.

Birth of The G.G. Blogspot!

So one day I was online looking for trouble,being bored and shit.I decided I will make a tumblr,mostly so that I can advertise my poor youtube channel that has one subscriber.Then I realized I am a straigth guy with no mental illnesses,so naturally my tumblr was bound to fail.What can I do now?Well there is only one thing I can do.A BLOG!
And that's how I created Darthleon13:The blogspot.But then I remembered a guy named Metax,who happens to also be my one subscriber.And then I ask him to join the fray thought Facebook.Here is that conversation:
