Silent Hill HD collection-silent hill 2 (both scenarios) review

 I just finished both scenarios of silent Hill 2 from the SH HD collection.  First of all just building off of my review of SH3 I had no idea that the voices in that version were not original.  But in SH2 you can choose either OG or new voice acting tracks.  I picked the original.  The voice acting was meh either way.  

The story is fantastic for the main scenario and it is a very enjoyable game with multiple endings incase you want to replay the fuck out of this game.  The game does have its flaws. 

 It has ps2 flaws and ps3 flaws.    The camera and lighting-Jesus christ man at certain points because of the camera angles and the lighting I straight couldnt see shit.  I had to go up to the TV to see things a bunch of times. Or just walk along the wall pressing x until a door opened or he picked up the item etc.  The sub scenario is way worse cuz they dont give you a light (or atleast I did not find one).  All I could see was Maria and the rest of the screen was black and even going up close with my face I could not see anything.  Obviously these were ps2 flaws.  

The story for the sub scenario was kind of meh.  I dont think I will ever play it again.  It was short and I honestly straight didnt give a fuck about the sub scenarios story.  

The PS3 flaws in SH2 arent as bad as SH3.  The "HD upgrade"  of the graphics look acceptable to me.  I thought the cut scenes looked good.  I had very little lagging issues in both scenarios of SH2.  SH3 lagginess was way worse.  The common gripe I read with other reviews is the fog doesnt look good.  I thought the fog was very acceptable.  Also the audio being out of the sync with characters lips moving during the cutscenes was not noticeable (If it even happened) like it was in the SH3 portion of the collection. 

This HD collection isnt a knock out of the park homerun like the MGS HD collection was.  But if you want to play SH2 and SH3 this is the cheapest way to go.  Otherwise get ready to have your wallet raped for the PS2 copies.  Or grab a xbox copy of SH2.  Everyone complains about the issues and they make all these comparison videos about it.  Unless you are looking for issues like that with a fine tooth comb you will be fine.  I thought this version was completely acceptable. 

I have a copy of SH2 for xbox.  I chose to review and play the Ps3 HD collection version because the xbox seems to be on life support.  

I also have SH4 for both ps2 and xbox.  I manged to obtain a ps2 but it is also on life support.  I am going to review SH4 for ps2 and hopefully my ps2 will survive so I can finish the game.  Otherwise I will try for the xbox version as a backup plan.  It will be my first time playing it.  So stay tuned ya cunts.

silent Hill HD collection-silent hill 3 review

 I played this game back when it came out on ps2.  I beat it one time and then never picked it up again.  I really regret it because first of all used copies of the ps2 version of silent hill 3 are really expensive.  Also supposedly the ps2 version is the superior version.  

Silent hill 3 was the first silent hill game I played.  I got it on a recommendation from some jackass friend of mine.  I really dug it and ended up becoming a fan of the early games in the series.  He actually told me to get the first 2 games and start with those but I ended up starting with this one.  Matter of fact my memory is kind of fuzzy I think I got 2 and 3 at the same time and then grabbed silent hill after I finished and enjoyed SH3. 


Anyway the story is fantastic and interesting.  The graphics were top notch at the time.  It was challenging but not impossibly hard that it would make you quit out of frustration.  Also it was short and didnt require a lot of commitment because I hate being commited to a game where I have to grind and work as if its the only thing in my life.  I was able to blitz through this game in a relatively short amount of time and still feel satisfied. This was the ps2 version.  I bought 3 ps2s and they all eventually crapped out on me. So I let this game go without ever replaying it, my dumbass.  I ended up focusing on GTA games and MGS games for the most part.  Fucking San andreas destroyed 2 of my ps2s.  And MGS 3 destroyed the final ps2. 

Over the last couple of years I thought about this game and certain scenes which I didnt really get to fully immerse myself in.  I watched some videos of youtube but that just gave me the urge to play it.  So I grabbed SH HD collection for ps3.  It has been sitting on my shelf for 2 to 3 years.  Never played it once.  I did download the patch that konami released for it though. 

I recently watched a full playthrough of silent hill 4 the room which I never got a chance to buy for ps2.  And it made me want to play this series again.  I also had bought the ps1 classic SH 1 to play on my PS Vita and I completed 2 years ago with the full intention of finishing the HD collection but I never got around to it.  Watching the SH4 playthrough sparked my interest again.  

Everyone complains about the HD collection but no matter how much I read about it I cant see any legit reason.  People only say "it sucks" without a lot of detail.

Konami supposedly lost the source code to the 2 games in HD collection and gave the HD upgrade to some unfinished versions of the game. At this point in time I have only finished the Silent Hill 3 portion of the HD collection so this review is for that.  

The graphics in some parts of the SH3 portion of the game look pretty decent.  They look upgraded similar to the metal gear solid HD collection.  In other parts the graphics look like shit. And sometimes it is hard to tell what it is I am actually looking at.  Also the games lags a lot.  It lags when there are 2 or more enemies on screen.  It lags when you run.  The sound skips alot during gameplay and cutscenes.  The sound skips and lagging actually scared me that it would crash my ps3.  Oh in alot of cutscenes the audio is out of sync with the video.  Meaning the characters lips move while the audio is already finished.  I dont remember it being like that on the ps2. 

 People say that the fog is shitty but truthfully I thought the fog in SH3 was pretty good.  I couldnt see shit so I think it did its job.  Also they say there are some sound effects missing. I didnt notice this but I played the ps2 game in 2003 so I cant really say I remember for sure.  The only missing sound I really noticed is when you are in the B3 section of otherworld brookhaven hospital one of the bodies is supposed to be making noises but I couldnt hear anything.  

Konami released a patch to try to mitigate some of the issues.  I have no idea if you can still download this patch because we are on ps5 right now and I am still acting as if ps3 is new.  

I found SH3 HD completely playable.  I got it for $30 a few years ago.  And I was able to enjoy SH3 again.  Now if you can get the ps2 version go for it.  If you cant get one then SH HD collection is a viable option.  


Konami is releasing MGS master collection for ps5.  So I am hoping they do the same thing for SH.  Idk if it will happen.  But they are making a SH2 remake.  Everything is a fucking remake now lol.  I was thinking about grabbing a ps5.  For upcoming games and for ps4 games I missed.  But I then realized that every game I was going to get was a remake.  In the end I decided against grabbing one.  If a SH master collection comes out for it though I will rethink my decsion.  Although most likely I would buy it and then not playing it for a real long time.  

Coming soon SH2 HD collection review.  Also SH4 xbox version review.  Stay tuned you kunts.

Review: Metal gear solid V sucks Balls

 I have been with this game franchise since the beginning.  The first 3 games are hands my favorite games of all time.  Matter of fact I basically don't play video games anymore unless it is one of these 3.  (On a side note I just recently replayed and finished MGS3).  But Metal Gear Solid V the phantom pain seriously sucks wart covered donkey dicks. 

Fuck this shit pain in the ass game.  I bought it the day of release and thought the same thing.  Let it sit on my shelf the last couple of years and decided let me give this another shot today.  What a huge mistake.  It was exaclty as unfun an experience as the last time I played it.  

 

I have multiple complaints about this:

1.  Looking at the map/weapons/items happens in real time.  Basically the guards can see you while you are trying to figure things out. it is a pain in the ass trying to figure shit out and getting spotted like this.  

2. All the controls have changed a lot.  Everything is different.  MGS4 changed it up to but it wasnt so drastic.  I am sure if you actually play this game you will get used to it but I feel like it is not MGS.

 3.  No David Hayter.  I realize I am late to the party on this.  But David Hayter is snake.  That is what made snake so cool having that kurt russel escape from LA sounding voice.  I immediately made that connection when I played the first game back in the PS1 days.   

4. Cant Save whenever you want.  Now the game automatically saves and creates a checkpoint where you have the option to restart from.  I guess I can live out the codec saving but I would like to save when I want.


5.  This is basically just a bigger graphically improved peace walker.  And its all the same game.  Majority of the missions are you have to infiltrate some village and get some sort of item/free a prisoner/or kill some enemy CO.  Its all the same repetitive shit over and over.  I miss it when it was one gigantic level and you are in for a good 7 to 8 hours of gameplay and cutscenes.  On a side note kojima borrowed so many concepts from metal gear 2 to use for metal gear solid that it looked like MGS1 was a remake of MG2.  TPP is a remake of the PW.  


6.  It is so big it is easy to get lost.  You get dropped off and have to travel to where you are supposed to go.  So basically is like 30 miles of running/galloping to the villiage you are supposed to infiltrate.  I ran all over the map for an hour until I said fuck this bullshit. 

7.  This isnt fun.  I know alot of people are pro gamers and shit and are automatically no alerting these games on day 1.  I am not like that.  I played the fuck out of the first 4 MGS games to get a no alert run.  I had to practice to really get decent.  Yeah I fucked up on the way to getting decent but it wasnt so frustrating as to make me think it is not worth it or impossible.  MGSV was making me so miserable I turned the game off the middle of the mission after about an hour.  I got spotted a lot and I got lost in the middle of the woods trying to get my prisoner on the helicopter.  Honestly fuck this game.  


Bottom line it is MGS to me in name only.  The other games even though they all gradually changed over time with improvements/changes etc but this is so drastically different that I cant even consider an MGS game.  Again fuck this game.  I was so pissed I considered flinging the game disc out the window like a frisbee.

movie/documentary called when we were bullies Review + my own thoughts in general

 This documentary is serious garbage.  Its about a guy who remembers an incident in which him and a lot of his other classmates gang up and basically taunt/spit at/hit one kid.  The whole documentary goes through numerous classmates of that particular class.  All the classmates speak on what they remember about the bullied student and what happened in that particular incident.  Some remembered things others didnt. Some just remembered the student but not the particular incident.  The whole thing was stupid as hell cuz the only time the victim actually shared his thoughts were to ask for a dvd of the film in which he was mentioned.  Otherwise no communication with him occurs.  

 So anytime one of the interviewed class mates would say something about the victim I would think the classmate was just a fucking scum bag to the victim.  I think the guy who made the documentary is a scumbag.  His name is jay Rosenblat.  He came off as a complete cunt along with everyone else involved.  And I hope the subject of his documentary told him so.  Cuz if it was me and my classmates contacted me for something like this thats what I would say to them. 

I didnt like it because it made me think about my own negative school experiences.  I was never really jumped but I was threatened a lot.  And I was made fun of a lot.   By both students and teachers. This movie made me think of that.   I could never relax in school.  8 hours a day of constantly being in fear of being a laughing stock.  Trying to think 10 steps ahead on how to avoid potential torment.  Getting tormented about something I didnt think to prepare for.  It sucked and I couldnt wait to get out.  I left the first second I could .  Looking back on it was the equivalent of frantically trying to come up with get rich quick schemes on an almost daily basis.  I could not focus on grades I couldnt eat properly.  All I could think about was just getting a break for being made fun of.  It got to a point where if I was in school I considered it the worst day of my life.  Fuck all those cocksuckers.  Here I am 20 years later and I will tell them all to their faces.  But it fucked me up too.  I try not to tell anyone anything about me cuz I dont want it used against me later.  Women dont like being in relationships with anti social loners unfortunately.  But my school experiences was the beginning of the end for me.  Im antisocial cuz I dont like being made fun of.  And these fuckers made me like that. 

  And all the people who would gang up on me together for the most part started being nice to me or indifferent.  They would randomly try to chat with me and be friendly too.  Which I thought was very weird.  I was suspicious of it.

 When I was in 10th grade I saw some tarot cards on the floor.  I picked them up and looked at it.  I put it back 2 seconds later where I found it.  2 minutes later some girl walked up to me and kicked me.  And I go what your problem and she starts getting mad I touched her tarot cards.  I had a grudge against her after that.  Anyway 2 years later I was friendly and on relative good terms with her friends.  But I rarely if ever spoke to her.  In fact I dont remember ever initiating any kind of conversations with her.  She one day out the blue asked me if I thought she was nice and I told her "No" laughed and walked off.  And it was cuz of that tarot card incident.  Even though I didnt tell her thats what it was.  I should have told her that but I didnt think of it at the time.  All I thought was shes a bitch and didnt realize why.  In fact I didnt even realize the reason that I didnt think she was nice until a lot later. 

Anyway it takes 2 to tango.  Im not exactly mr.innocent in the whole thing cuz there is the above incident I just spoke about.  As well as other things.  I went to a combined junior high/high school.  I got there in junior high.  I tried to make friends with everyone  and have everyone like me and got shit on.  People apparently dont like people who try to make other people like them.  The shit ended in the begining of 10th grade around november (the tarot card thing happened in september probably the 3rd or 4th day of school).  November of 10th grade Thats when I stopped giving a fuck.  Told anyone who at one point or another made fun of me to go fuck themselves.  Or really everyone and started doing my own thing.  I accept my own responsibility cuz at that point I could have focused on my grades which I regret not doing.  As well other more positive things.  So its as much my fault as much theres.  I didnt like the mainstream anything that they liked and I  would listen to underground music and have obscure hobbies.  Basically I had nothing in common and I didnt want to have anything in common.  In a way I rejected them but only after they rejected me. 

 Once I became an adult 18 and beyond.  I tried to reinvent myself and put myself out there.  And basically get over all those scumbag students and teachers (yes my teachers were instigators).  But I basically just ended up meeting more and more scumbags who were as bad or worse.  Ive thrown in the towel for the most part and I am lot happier.  Most people are mainstream assholes who cant think for themselves and do whatever society tells them to and like what they are told to like.  But on the flipside you should give everyone a chance which I do.  There still might be hope for me.  I hope so.  I just want to find a woman who is nice to me and get married. 

 

I read all the time stories on reddit and whatnot.   People who befriend their ex-bullies on facebook or some other social media platform.  Asking them why the torment.  The bully would either reply with an apology or deny any responsibility.  I never understood this.  There is no why.  Cuz the people that bully you are shit.  If they ask for forgiveness tell them go fuck their dead great grandmother.  Get nasty cuz most likely its on the internet anyway  lol.  People here are way nastier then in real life cuz of no physical retaliation.  But I digress.  In all fairness I know a lot of people that went through way worse shit then me and are more fucked up then me.  


Anyway moral of my rambling is this.  The documentary sucks donkey cocks.  

Also the reason why you are being bullied is because you are asking why you are getting bullied.  

Dont forgive your bullies.  Or forgive them its your lifes choice.  But it does feel good to tell them to fuck off and get revenge on them (whether non violent or not).   I never got any violent revenge on them unfortunately.  But its probably better off that way cuz I dont want any jail time or any legal problems.  

Search my blog on the story where I told this guy to fuck his mother LOL.  I feel excellant about that.

Song of the week:ACCELERATE by GHOST COP

I had the chance to catch their live show recently.  These guys are great.  They played a new song called shot in the dark which I really enjoyed.  I asked about it but they said it wasnt out yet.  So be on the look out for it I guess.  Shot in the dark would be song of the week if it was out.  Accelerate is awesome too.  They had mic issues during the song and the singer was gangster as hell by not missing a single note or lyric while multi tasking to try to fix the issue with the equipment.  It sounded really great live and I truly enjoyed the performance.  

check out the studio version of the song.

When a woman asks how many girl friends you have had (STORY TIME)

 About 6 months ago I matched with a woman on line.   We decided to go on a date and We discussed various things.  She made a lot of bitchy/jokey comments about how bad I was.  Whatever I just ignored it and kept the conversation moving on.  Most girls dont know how to flirt properly anyway.    One thing she wouldnt drop was how many girlfriends Ive had.  I really didnt want to answer this one.  I felt its the equivalent of me asking her how many cocks she sucked.  

Truthfully I would rather not know about how many cocks she sucked.  So I didnt ask her.  When she asked me about my girlfriends number I told her it was a secret and then I laughed in her face.  She laughed too.  We kept the conversation going on about other things while walking around the park.  The only issue was she kept on asking me about the girlfriends.  It got to about 6 times she asked me and it was pissing me off that she wouldnt drop it even though I already drew the line.  

Minus the sordid details of whatever sex/relationships with women Ive had I gave her and TLDR version of my life story.  When she pressed for details on certain events I told her.  Some of these events of my life included struggles Ive had in my life.  Issues with my parents etc. I saw no reason to hide all my info.  After all we were trying to get to know each other.  This woman made fun of me and/or insulted me about my past struggles.  Struggles which I have overcome but in all honestly I felt it was beyond teasing and just pretty much dirty cheap shot against me.  

Every now and then I would say something and she would chime in about what a bad person I was.  Anyway, towards the end of the date there was a silence cuz I was pretty much fed up with her insults and I went into my head and realized that she was making me insanely depressed.  I was also really tired from work that day as well so the lack of sleep didnt help.  I was in a spot where I was not able to think clearly.  But I was upset not from the first few "Youre such a bad person comments"  but really when its like 25 times I am starting to get the hint from her.  

 She was getting pretty frustrated with me not telling her about how many girlfriends Ive had. She kept asking me why I wouldnt answer.  She wouldnt drop it.  It was annoying.  I felt like she would use the answer against me negatively especially cuz of the way she was acting with all the other wounds she opened up and poured salt into.  Anyway When I was in my head briefly I thought how depressed she was making me, how tired I was and how going for the kiss would be a huge mistake and I didnt want this woman in my house at all.  I didnt want to deal with her.  I didnt insult her or cross any lines with regards to her cock numbers even though I could have.  I also didnt get up and scream "bitch" in her face even though she deserved it.   I just ran out the clock the date on the date.  I walked her to her bus and I gave her a hug and I told her Id text.  

I slept on it and decided I didnt want to deal with her again.  I also thought she didnt like me anyway so it was useless to even bother and I didnt want to inflate her ego.  It ended up she texted me.  She said she was "a little rude"  and that she was sorry and had fun and wanted to go on another date.  I decided right then and there and ignored her.  She texted me 10 more times over the course of the next 3 days.  Asking me if she was really that rude.  I ignored all of them.  Finally she gave up.  

Anyway I feel like if I replied she would have cancelled/played games about the second date and beyond.  I also was googling around and it turns out it might have all been shit tests.  Because I didnt yell at her and just kept on trying to draw the line about the not telling her certain things and trying to constantly change the subject I might have passed them.  Or I could have failed all of the shit tests miserably.  I am actually unsure.  She texted me 10 times after and I ignored all of them and basically never contacted her again but she was persistent for a few days.  So that itself means whatever you want it to mean I guess.  Maybe she liked me.  Maybe not texting her turned her on. 

I truthfully think she just wanted me to ask her out again just so she could say no and make fun of me/disrespect me.  I also didnt have any fun on the date anyway so I decided to move on.  I thought this up just recently cuz she popped into my head for some reason.  But at the time I actually thought she liked me and thats why she was so eager to pursue a relationship.  I also didnt want to reply cuz I didnt want to give her any closure.  I could have told her the truth was that I knew that I hated her now for the way she acted on the date with all the insults (real or perceived)  but I didnt.  I thought that would piss her off more.  Idk if it did or not.

song of the week:S Y Z Y G Y X - In Pieces

This is was the first or second song they played when I saw their saw their concert a few weeks ago.  I loved it. Made me a fan right away. Check them out.  Is that all there is is an awesome album.
