Games i would love to see remastered or remade

Ideally remade but failing that a remaster would do....and these are for older games i really do not see the point in remastering games that were only last gen ....cough cough God of war 3 among many others.

Panzer dragoon series....all of the games 1, zwei, saga and orta (i think there was a game gear version aswell). These games were a major part of my teenage years and good enough with a remaster and improved graphics to stand up now



Otogi 1 and 2. Now these two games flew under the radar for most people on the original xbox but these were two very good games which had a really satisfying combat system and smashing demons through small houses was great fun and the destruction had a points aswell.



Crimson skies. Now there were two games one for the pc and one for the original xbox and i would love to see a remake of the xbox one as it was such a fun game.


Mechgames....now their are so many earthsiege/mechwarrior/mechassault so would ideally love a remake of any of them that takes influences from others

Konami dead and soon to be buried

So was confirmed today that Konami have ditched all triple-a development on games except for the Pro evolution series.


From what people have said they are planning to go into pachinko making and perhaps mobile games which does seem like they could be money making but the problem i feel is that they are markets which are getting saturated and while konami was a big name in gaming i think in those markets they will find it a lot harder.

In the end they are really trying to screw up their legacy and while metal gear solid v was great you do get the impression much was still to be done for the game. I really hope things change but i fear it is the end of konami.

Rose tinted glasses or has music really gone downhill ?

When i was a kid i never had a music identity, i did not get into music until my teens and then i got into grunge and indie music such as nirvana and the dandy warhols and later on i got into heavy metal.



But then it stuck me recently there has been not major shifts or something that is new if you go back in time you have some major events such as in the 30s you had Robert johnson in the 50s you had Chuck berry and elvis presley, 60s and 70s was massive with beatles/led zepplin/kiss/the kinks and...erm disco as well in the 80s you had synth pop/New wave of british heavy metal, glam metal, thrash metal and the 90s had grunge, Nu metal and some very big pop bands. But now it feels everything feels safe and manufactured and while stuff was manufactured back then was to a much lesser extent.


Even music such as heavy metal i hear a lot of that type of music nowdays that feels ...too polished and not as raw and almost watered down.



Sure there are artists out there doing well with sales and some good songs but feels like every week there is someone new coming out with the next big thing but would be soon forgotten.


One thing that does really bug me is many artists fame and fortune has really gone to there heads and they forget it is there fans that give them that luxury and they arrogantly think they can do anything without suffering any consequences. Have to say sometimes i wish music went back to basics and became less about the mega money and massive egos and more about the music.

Some of my fav one liner jokes

Some are my own and others i have heard

I subscribed to a Origami magazine but unfortunately they folded.

I phoned a wedding dress shop but they were engaged.

I went clubbing with some shellfish and i pulled a mussel.



Friend said to me to pull a funny face...so pulled his.

I failed a maths test so many times i cannot count.

I am so bad at tests i even failed a blood test.

Wife said i never call her compliments...so i called her vinegar and salt...i think i misheard.

The trouble with what is on the internet nowdays

1. You cannot believe many of the things of what you read or see and often you will only get one side of a story.



2. Clickbait articles...they are now everywhere would be like me putting a blog title called "Read this article about what happened to me it is shocking"....and it will not be unless you get electrocuted.




3.Many Youtubers create a persona for themselves...which i have to be honest i do find annoying it feels like they are trying to hard and really sacrificing a part of themselves to get the views.

4.The right to say whatever you like with no consequences i get the first amendment right to free speech but if it resorts to spreading hate and bullying i really do not like that. I believe in karma but i sometimes think it needs a helping hand.


5. Captcha security ....FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE THESE AT LEAST READABLE


6. And please if you are going to do a article such as top 20 cutest dogs do it all on the one page rather then having a next button and 20 pages.

Should you pre order games ?

I have to say i rarely pre order games and when i do it is usually because i know the game will be good at launch and none of that dlc rubbish.


But even games that i know will be great and well supported such as The Witcher 3 or Skyrim i did not pre order as i knew they would have bugs and there dlc coming down the road so would often wait till bugs are sorted dlc is released and then they go on offers.

In the end most people know that if they wait you will get a cheaper and more polished version of a game and often they do release a more complete version such as a game of the year edition later on. But it is all about that waiting and the price ....if can get it cheap enough then i will often buy it such as a few days ago on http://www.kinguin.net/?r=2365 they had mad max for only 16 euro and i thought for that price i will give it a shot.


What i hate is how publishers are so desperate to get these preorder sales and will have exclusive content cut out of the game or what square are doing with there augment your preorder rubbish.some games even need graphs just so you know with which shop you order from to know what you will get.

In the end though no matter what i say or massive youtubers such as jim sterling or totalbiscuit say people still preorder and i think the only way it will stop is if a publisher does something really bad to put off consumers

Things i miss

Gametrailers.com of old...invisible walls....pach attack...annoyed gamer and the people on there



Epicbattleaxe i really enjoyed listening to the people there...and they answered a few of my questions which is always good.

Tv of years ago .....i really do not like reality tv and back then was not that much at all ...is it sad that i miss noels house party ?.



Music. I really think the golden age of music is over it has become saturated with stuff that feels safe and while we have musicians that have sold millions i really think we will not have genre making music like the beatles/nirvana/korn/metallica/iron maiden/public enemy for a while. 


Not having everything so reliant on having a internet connection....think how many username and passwords you have and what you do online with me without a internet connection, paying bills, banking,communication, finding phone numbers and contact details and the amount of games i have that i would not be able to play because they need to be connected.

Speaking of games....i miss back then no worrying about buying a unfinished game and being bled money to pay for dlc.


Wrestling of old ...as bobby heenan said the magic is gone i loved the large then life characters and the fact back then i thought it was real....now it is a shadow of its former self.



I am now affiliated with kinguin had some really good deals there in fact mad max for the pc digital less then 20 euro link here http://www.kinguin.net/?1=2365

Important questions


Why do ghosts in photos and in films and tv all have clothes ? do clothes go to heaven to ? do they have souls ?....i imagine shoes do though........


When will animals evolve stop look and listen when crossing the road ?...i swear it is like they hide in the hedge and they are playing a game of dare to run across the road closest to a moving car.


Had pre pay power and mobile phones and tablets and noticed they make noise and often light up when they are running out of power.....so why are they using power to tell me i am running out of
power ??.


Why do games publishers do stupid things ? there would be so many to list but never understood why they with all these smart well paid people they do not see the problems.

And for no reason a pic of a cute puppy

Things i do not understand

Someone posts bad news on Facebook and 20 people like this.....that just feels not right to me.


A sign saying caution cattle.....i do not have time to stop everytime i see cattle and to caution them i think that is the police's job.



People who are potentially in imminent danger and there first reaction is....i need to record this on my camera.


If i make a upside down cake but make it the correct way round is it just called a cake ?



Rat poison has a use by date but does that mean after it is more or less poisonous ?



Kanye west calling himself the greatest rock star ever ...if that is the case then the beatles were the greatest hip hop artists ever .
