Hi!
So I have returned from the depths...
Buuut, an eight month hiatus I really can't excuse. I must admit, I am finding it really hard to write stuff (reviews and thoughts) so other people can understand.
Although, I have been keeping my lists on the side bar up-to-date (or as up-to-date as possible).
So, what have I been doing in the past eight months?
The simple answer... Existing. However, between the rendering and the fragrant BS that is my life, I'm am still gaming.
I got my first Platinum Trophy. The game that I completed was Tearaway (PS Vita).
Unsurprisingly, I pre-ordered and downloaded Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition. The game took two days to download. It turned out that I wasn't the only person having downloading problems. Someone who was downloading Batman Arkham Knight was given a downloading time of 99+ hours.
I have been playing DMC4:SE. Although Nero yelling "Kyrie", Nero's existence and, DMC4's story still bugs the heck out of me though.
The reason that I bought it? I wanted to play as Vergil...
Speaking of all things Devil May Cry. DmC: Definitive Edition was also released earlier this year.
I quite liked it when I played it first time around (back on the Xbox 360 and PS3). But two years of constant bitching, whinging and moaning from "fans" took it's toll and ruined the whole game. I've yet to complete the first play through on PS4.
A few months ago, I bought a Wii U. It was mainly just to play Bayonetta 2... Which was awesome. The games' main focus is the story as to how Father Balder (Bayonetta's Father) became the bad guy in the first game. I say bad guy... He could've been evil, mad, insane... That's down to you to decide.
I also tried the Sonic Boom demo for the Wii U... I can see why there are very few people who actually like it.
I'm on the look out for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for the Wii U. But the game is pretty expensive pre-owned/second hand, so I don't expect to get it anytime soon.
I've tried to get into the Resident Evil series. I decided to talk to a friend regarding the Resident Evil Remake. It sounded pretty intriguing. European PSN had a Resident Evil sale quite a few months ago and I decided to get the majority of games that they had (apart from Resident Evil Revelations 2). I still haven't managed to download the PS3 games, but I have been playing the remake on PS4.
I'm still collecting gaming Merchandise.
I have started to collect Hatsune Miku Chibi figures. I have several figures, but none are on display because I have no room.
I've also gone back to collecting Power Rangers memorabilia.
My Devil May Cry collection has also expanded. It now has Nero ArtFX statue which I won in an auction on eBay (although he doesn't have any of his weapons... apart from Dante's Ivory Handgun). I did contact Kotobukiya to see if the weapons could be ordered (I even offered them money), but I never received a reply.
And yesterday I added another Dante figure to the collection. The figure was announced seven years ago, but was never released. Until January this year.
It's Dante from Devil May Cry (the first game), and comes with Ebony & Ivory, Shotgun, Alastor, two weapon "blasts" and extra hand(s).
It's presented neatly, but I prefer (look-wise) Yamato's version of that Dante.
I still say there should be a Nelo Angelo figure...With either a removable helmet or an extra head, which you can swap to make him look like Vergil (just like the third Nelo fight in the first game).
That'd be epic.
Well, this is starting to become an essay. So I better leave it there.
I really want to get back into writing on this blog. *Fingers crossed* it won't take me another eight months to update it.
I'm not sure about reviews. But I'd like to do a "gaming diary thing". Especially seeing that I'm going to upgrade my PS4's HDD myself (which should be a little hilarious... or maybe not).
If you've been patiently waiting for my return, then Thank you.
I'm now going off to do some "real life stuff"...
Tatty~Bye
