Man, this week has been a great week to be a HARDCORE MLG EXXXTREME PRO GAMER like myself. Leslie and I have finally defeated the first Elder Dragon in offline single player mode, so now we've opened up the high rank hunter rank quests and oh my GOD it's awesome. I forgot how much I loved high ranked quests in the PSP games. THE DIFFICULTY, THE NEW SETTINGS, THE NEW RESOURCES, GOD IT'S LIKE A WHOLE NEW GAME TO ME. If you're already having a hard enough time with your basic monsters, then you're going to hate the fucking curveball the game throws at you at high ranked quests. But if you're a sadomasochist hungering for the blood of tougher, bigger things with more handicaps than assistence given to you, then BOY ARE YOU IN FOR A TREAT.

 

I also went and bought the JETSTREAM SAM DLC for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and it's absolutely fantastic. Sam has his own unique moveset, retooled levels, HEAVILY retooled enemies, and lots of really great cutscenes to explain how he joined Desperados in the first place. However, I'm guessing they figured that people coming off of Raiden's story would need a little more of a challenge going into Sam's, so Sam's normal mode is equal to Raiden's VERY HARD mode. It is fucking RIDICULOUS how relentless the enemies are in this, especially when you're still trying to adjust to Sam's playstyle. Still, once you get it, it just fucking clicks and you're the Brazilian wind of destruction like the game wants you to be. I love it.

 

Well, back to more video games. See you Wednesday!
