Weekly News 6/10

So this week in our news we have a few things that are exciting and a few things that are hopefully going to be good.

First off if you haven't played Lego Dimensions I suggest you start doing that right away. I'm just waiting for another sale to get the last three packs that are out right now, other than that I have everything and have been enjoying it. This September they are bring even more stuff to the game, and by stuff I mean awesomeness. The new Ghostbusters, The Goonies, Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Adventure Time, Lego City Undercover, Mission: Impossible, The Lego Batman Movie, The A-Team, Sonic The Hedgehog, Teen Titans GO!, Knight Rider, E.T. The Extra-Terrestial, The Powerpuff Girls, Gremlins, and Beetlejuice. All things that I like. So this should be awesome.

Another game that I believe that will be awesome is Horizon: Zero Dawn. Now unfortunately it was pushed out of this year and has a new release date.  It is now coming out on February 28th 2017.  Make sure you check out the awesome new trailer.

Something that could be good is a game that I totally forgot about since last E3 and that is World of Final Fantasy. It now has a release date of October 25th, which is a month after 15.  I wonder if that was a wise decision.  I know it is for a new audience and current ones, but still if 15 takes as long as other games, it will take a long time to beat.  Oh yeah and it is a Sony exclusive.

Something else that was shown this week was Watch Dogs 2.  Supposed to come out November 15th of this year.  We’ll see if that happens.  I probably won't end up getting this game though.  Only enjoyed the game to play through it and haven’t touched it since.

In Battlefront we got the release date for the next DLC Bespin.  Comes out the 21st for people with the season pass and July 5th for everyone else.  Hopefully this will get me back into playing this game. Dengar and Lando are the new hero and villain characters.

Sorry For The Huge Delay

Hey guys.

Sorry for the long wait.  I had at one time given up on this blog as most of you have probably noticed.  I am going to try and be on here a lot more and work side by side with my Youtube channel Hottpi.  First things first.  I'm going to be playing some games.

Pokemon GTS Sadness

This is a story of mishap and sadness caused by the GTS in Pokemon.

Last night I deposited my Poliwhirl with King's Rock attached to him so then he would evolve into Politoed once traded.  I had asked for a Poliwhirl in return with a message stating King's Rock.
Did I get a Poliwhirl with King's Rock attached in return so I could get a Politoed?  No.  I did not.  I just got a plain Poliwhirl from South Korea with absolutely nothing attached to it.
I tried many many times to contact the trainer to trade with her so I could get what I wanted.  But time and time again she ignored my request.  I tried again this morning, but to no avail she did not answer me.

Now I am wondering if anyone can help me.

Reminiscing: Donkey Kong Country

While playing the new Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze I began to feel like this is exactly what Donkey Kong is (granted that I really did like Donkey Kong 64).  So I began to think of the past again from when I used to play the original Donkey Kong Country.
I remember how awesome of a game this was.  Back then the graphics were so awesome.  When weather would change from a bright sunny day so a snow storm was unbelievable.  Also there is nothing like the music that was in this game.  The soundtrack was just amazing, you can't really beat that (even the remixes don't do justice).
Once again when this came out I was very young, only seven years old.  Unlike Mario Bros. (when I was only two), my gaming skills have increased quite a bit here.  I was able to jump and run around like a boss (none of "the game is cheating" here).  Every now and then there would be secret rooms that would turn up and you had to collect banana's in there, of course after collecting the banana's I accidentally fall down and am unable to collect the prize (which has actually happened while play Tropical Freeze a couple of times).
For some reason, even though I have a fond memory of the game, I don't remember much of it.  I do know that I was able to defeat the final boss, lots of barrel jumping there.
Playing with my brothers was always the best too.  Except I would always get ahead and cause problems.  I miss those days.
It's awesome that they brought those memories back with this new game.  I am very appreciative of it.  Also in my opinion I think Tropical Freeze is more difficult, but easy to get lives.

Reminiscing: Super Mario Bros

This morning I was remembering the good ole days and this led me to thinking, "why don't I talk about the days when I was a kid and the games I used to play".
The very first game that I remember ever playing was Super Mario Bros for the NES.  Now this game was released a couple of years before my birth, but that does not mean anything really.  What I remember was that this game was part of a trio of games.  It had Track and Field and Duck Hunt on the same cartridge, both good games.
From what I have heard, my remembering and what I actually did were two totally different things.  You see I always thought I was awesome at this game, but how good could a year old (or two) really be at games.  The only thing that I remember was each time I died, whether it be from falling, or from running into a goomba (because I didn't jump) I would always say that the game was cheating.  Don't ask where I learned that vocabulary at that age, I just always though the game was cheating.
Now that I think about it I don't think I ever made it passed the first level until I was older.  Then I got Super Mario Deluxe for the Gameboy Color and finally beat the game.  Still to this day if things don't go my way in some of the games that I play I think that they are cheating.  Who is they?  I have not clue, just that they are cheating.

Rock Band, The Prefect Revenge.

I was thinking of this game the other day.  What was it that made me think of it?  Well let me first explain the situation.
So I live in an apartment, and I live on the top floor.  Now you would think it would be nice and quiet here on the top floor.  That was before the new neighbors downstairs moved in.  Around noon I start to feel the floor rumble, and also around 10 p.m..  So instead of doing the right thing and calling management, since I talked to them twice already about him, we take things in our own hands.  He also plays instruments randomly throughout the day and has people over that slams the doors.
Now that you know kind of what my neighbor is, I will share with you my thought.  Now ever since moving here I have not played the drums for Rock Band (since the neighbors back then would somehow knock on the ceiling for me to stop, and we have found out that this person is related by marriage).  So I was thinking that when I start hearing, or feeling, stuff from below that I would take out my Rock Band, finally set up the drums and just wail away on them.
This would hopefully get the message across, if not I would probably start playing it randomly in the day and hope to wake him from his slumber like he has done to us many times before.

Problems With Splinter Cell

Now I know it has been a weekend, but Ubisoft has not responded to my email about the sound not playing correctly for the TV option, even though it plays fine on the gamepad.  I don't know what it is about Ubisoft, but the two thing that I have right now from them are screwed up.

This game is one of them.  I was really wanting to enjoy this game, but it is not when I can only play it on the gamepad.  Everything looks great and plays just fine, and actually seems easier to control.  I would just like to be able to sit on my couch and look at the big TV while playing this game to enjoy it.

The next thing is this POS.  When I first started this program up on my Wii U I signed in with my credentials and it worked just fine.  Then one day a while ago there was an update to the program.  Now for some reason I am logged in with someone else's account.  I emailed them various times, even gave them more info than what I just said here, and they said that they need more info in order to help me out.  How can I give more if that is all?

I don't understand.  Rayman Legends works awesomely.  I only had one hiccup on one of the Murphy levels towards the end of the game (the lava lake one where the computer always wants to get hit by a stream of lava).



So here's to hoping that there is some way to fix these issues.  If not then here's to hoping they will send me a replacement for Splinter Cell.
