A strange turn of events

I feel pretty ecstatic right now!

So, I saw IGN had posted on Facebook, a chance to play Xbox One before its released. Being me. I entered. Not expecting to win. So I was astonished and amazed when I received an email from Xbox/Microsoft saying that I had actually won! I wasn't planning on buying an Xbox One so I'm looking forward to playing it to see if Microsoft can indeed sway me back to Xbox. Monday can't come soon enough. I'm actually really excited and can't wait to play it! Of course I'll report back all of my findings and my thoughts. Stay tuned! (The pictures are screenshots from my phone. Sorry.)

Silly Sony

Silly Sony, they do some shocking things. You know how this goes. This constant fixation on graphics - I find this so infuriating. I like substance over style. To me, Sony and their fans just seem to look to aesthetics and then talk about gameplay. Just watch any Sony conference to see what I'm talking about. The PS4 unveiling conference. It was just full of tech demos and cutscenes . Then they tried to say all of the games will look that during gameplay, then at E3. They just didn't. But what annoys me the most is the fan response to this stuff. They always blow things out of proportion.  There are so many games I have played on PS3 that people said were aesthetically amazing, only to find the game was boring and wasn't actually that good in my opinion. Once such game was Heavenly Sword, everyone said it looked amazing, which it did. But. The game was so boring!! I just think people should stop saying games are good because they appear to be good. Actually play the

Switch Hype

Even PS4 characters are hyped for Switch! As I mentioned in my last post, which you can read  here.  I am now the proud owner of a Nintendo Switch. I couldn't be happier. I have downloaded a few demos (I don't have the money for all the games I want right now) and I am really enjoying Fire Emblem Warriors.  Just like Hyrule Warriors before it, it is so much more than a Dynasty Warriors game with Nintendo characters. Well, I could write more. But I made a video instead. To save you from doing anymore reading than necessary for today. You are welcome. Watch here.

Jrspesh's Return/Finally got a Switch!

Image
I have finally returned. It's been a while. Over a year I believe. I have been away for too long.  I have been trying and failing to get my life together and chase and catch my dreams. But enough of the sad stuff. Let's get back to what we all love to talk about GAMES! So, Early in the year I went to the Nintendo Switch Premiere Event at Earl's Court. Eagerly waiting to play the Nintendo Switch for the first time.  ARMS was very popular. The line to wait to play was never-ending. I destroyed a few people on Ultra Street Fighter 2.  The Switch in all it's glory.  I got to play FAST RMX. Very good showcase of the Switch's abilities.  So more ARMS.  The line for Zelda: Breath of the Wild was so long. I never got to play it. It was a very busy morning.  As you can see from my terrible photography. It was busy but fun. After I left the event. I felt so excited for the Switch and couldn't wait to buy one. But, when it did
