Spec Ops: The Line --- Tragic "Hero"

I didn't know this game even existed until I borrowed this game by friend. I played the game with no expectations at all. But after i completed it, i just got caught in it's warp.

The game had the most unique element in it which were achieved only by few games.

Most of the war games that had great outing focused mainly upon the SHOOT AND KILL persona of the protagonist.  But they fail to reveal the mental and physical trauma, he undergoes in order to get things right.

The ordeal he must face before he kills anyone, the lengths he must travel to get past his mission....

Spec Ops - just dazzles here. It scores a perfect 10 in the portrayal of the characters....

STORY

KONRAD

                    Dubai is hit by worst storms ever. Big Shots of the city escape leaving the common man stranded in the desert storm. Captain Konrad, friend and mentor of Walker owes to save the citizens with decorated 33rd battalion. But no news come from or from his fellow mates. But Weeks later, US Army receives distress call from Konrad and sends Walker along with Lugo and Adams as partners to rescue........

What seemed to be a Simple rescue mission ... turns into a unimaginable horror !!!!

BATTLEFIELD 4 YOU

STUNNER

WTF ..... These were the words that i iterated again and again after i watched BattleField 4.


SIMPLY STUNNING

No other game has been able to knock me off the chairs while played, but BF4 threw me out with a bewildering gasp.

I was elevated to high peaks (still to come down) with its power of technical brilliance.

It was hard for me to believe, whether I was watching a real battle or its the game. Such was the quality DICE had put up to display.

EA announced that it has used all of its FrostBite 3 capacity to build such visuals and it was evident in the gameplay.

 

FISHING IN BAKU - made me felt like I was in as real battlefield fighting against mountains of enemies along with fellow soldiers Irish,Sergeant Dunn and Pac.

It took nearly a week to get BattleField out of my mind and 

  FISHING IN BAKU

        Gameplay sequence starts with "Wrecker" - protagonist along with his fellow mates Dunn, Pac and Irish  on a jeep, drowning. Dunn orders Wrecker to shoot the driver glass to escape while others reject this order.

                Suddenly, game rewinds 17 minutes showing the events that led them to their drowning.

Gameplay packs up all the elements like Adrenaline pumping gun fights, nerve wrecking copter battle and brain smashing car chase and it literally uses all the nail biting elements, leaving nothing behind. 

The final cut scenes promised us with more nail bitters like car-crashing and sea battle.

Battlefield 4 promises us that there is more in the stores to be delivered to us. Which, I am sure that it well has !!!

S # ! T Happens

 

   S#!T things happens to all of us ... But it's time of occurrence always hurts us the most.

 The most you expect ... Least you get is the worst thing that disappoints you to the core.

The Games are not exception to this topic. It pulled out astonishing surprises as well as produced shit that was shocking to all of us. Even the reputed have fallen into this pit hole.

What I mean here is the sequels (crappy ones) to the best games that we have ever played in our life. Those sequels were bad to the extent that even ruined the game's reputation, hurting the industry where it pains.

Lets us see the TOP #3 shit sequels that destroyed everything it owned...

Ascension Descending

GOW:ASCENSION

 

"GOD OF WAR", the Epic Game which never failed in presenting us an unusual experience of awe and wonder is back to make the audience sink into its world.

ASCENSION is the latest outing of blood busy kratos in Greece to kill Ares to free his bond to Gods.

STORY:

KRATOS:BLOOD BATH

Story traces Ares trickery on kratos to kill his family. In fury, Kratos refuses to abide by Ares making him the target of imprisonment by Three Furies. In Prison, With Help of Oath Keeper Orkos, Kratos learns about Ares evil plans to overthrow Olympus and escapes from prison. He starts his bloody quest and ends by killing all the three furies, but fate has some other plans for him....

Story has much emphasis on Kratos's emotional side which we havenot experienced in previous games, but the question is that "Has the emotional content has been crafted well?"

 

Charted ...Not Yet

STILL TO BE EXPLORED

GAMING world has expanded its territories to unimaginable lengths and is still expanding.

It reached places where no one could ... it defined boundaries for others to reach and travel beyond,
grazed upon rough terrains to achieve everything that was out.

On the whole, Games have always thrived hard to explore new worlds and themes...


BUT STILL,   There are worlds that are uncharted and waiting to be explored ...

Assassins Creed - Black Flag

'Assassins' - The name has always been used to despise bad people until Ubisoft made a dramatic 'U' turn with its masterpiece, making the word as cult classic.

Ubisoft furnished us with 5 installments which made us to glue ourselves to our seats even after the credits rolled out.

Now, The Sixth Installment "ASSASSINS CREED : BLACK FLAG" is just about to arrive with monument sized actions and adventures which promises us for yet another roller coaster ride..

STORY - SETTING:

Black Flag same as its previous installments has its setting in 2 places. One place is the present life scenario and other one takes place in the past, where actions of any place influences the other leading to an event chain reaction.

In present scenario, the player is called by Abstergo industries to use animus for examining memories of assassin. Abstergo particularly asks the player to focus on the memories of Edward Kenway, a notorious pirate living in the Golden Age of Piracy. The story set in the Caribbean and uses ship explorations with combat and land adventures in Caribbean islands.

But Questions are spread out, 

Why the memories of Kenway in particular?

What Abstergo holds that we don't know?

What will they do after they retrieve his memories?

BLACK FLAG ------ HOLDS THE SECRETS

Central / Core Concept of the Game is mainly Kratos's Vengence towards Ares and his thirst for Ares blood who betrayed him by tricking him to murder his Family.. 

Also Here we can see more human nature of Kratos desperate for redemption for his sins which he committed blinded by his loyalty to Superior 

 

PlayStation 4 (PS4) .. XBOX 720 Race to Next Generation

.
Let me ask you a Question : What do you expect from your Gaming Industry in near future ??? 

Most of your answers point towards Games which define Next-Generation as well as Consoles which defy our present (Existing) Models..

Here the ' Consoles ' refers to 3 main brain-childs of the gaming industry ... Wii U , PS4 , XBOX 720
 Since Wii-U has been released before , let's sideline it, gaining our focus on 2 consoles which fight for survival in the industry.........

Ever the release of PS3 in year 2006. There was talks regarding their future functionalities and also want for next console with pushes current limits miles from present standards. Sony allotting enormous resources towards R&D sections as well as Microsoft introducing multiple hands on features hinting about their next development cycle..

Hitman Absolute Stun

At last , Hitman is Back.....

For a series which primarily focus on mindless action , sabotaging the place from peace to piece ..
Hitman Absolution , the latest addition to the series offers more of a brain work to the player than running into streets with a gun like a maniac.......

Hitman Absolution Game Cover

 
Hitman defines the stealth concept with a bang, the beauty of passing through highly guarded zones without being noticed is elevated to high levels... It provides plenty of pathways (strategies) to execute a kill .... and experiments we can perform for kill is just awesome...

Stealth mechanism has been improved a lot

 It Nails the Core Concept of Stealth Game Play But ... Still Hitman lacks the expertise in Story and Character departments which may sometimes appeals to us as Unlikable ....
