So, I watched, like, ONE episode of the Netflix series of Devil May Cry, and for some stupid reason, Dante has been eating at my brain? I THOUGHT IT'D BE THE WHITE RABBIT, BUT NO, THIS IDIOT SNEAKS INSIDE AND DOES NOT APOLOGIZE FOR EATING MY BRAIN FOR A WEEK
He's constantly in my thoughts, infecting every hour of my day and will not let me focus on other plans. This is ridiculous.
Anyways, so I bought the Devil May Cry video game series.
Do I know anything about the video game series? Well...no, I don't. I never played it as a kid, nor have my brothers, and I never saw any gameplay videos of it. In fact, I don't think I was fully aware of DMC's presence until recently. I knew it existed, but didn't really think much of it, y'know?
I played one hour of the first game, and OMG??? I suppose this is spoiler territory for a game that was released in 2001, but only for the first two stages of DMC1.
TRISH IS CRAZY DAWG. I only finished level two of the game, and that INTRO??? It felt like the devs sat in a room and went "what's the sickest thing we can do to make her badass?" and WENT WITH EVERY SUGGESTION.
Does some crazy ass jump to where she appears out of nowhere from the moon and does a sick ass landing on the ground. Bursts into Dante's shop with a motorcycle that came out of NOWHERE. STABS DANTE, THROWS A MOTORCYCLE AT HIM, and then SUDDENLY she goes "I'm not your enemy, I have a job for you" LIKE??? HELLO????
I also wasn't expecting there to be no tutorial. I mean, I wasn't expecting MUCH, but I was surprised by how it just THROWS you in. Also, the camera angles throw me off, but it does remind me of old Resident Evil (I never played it, but I had watched my brothers play em), and I managed to KINDA adjust??? It's only been an hour of gameplay, I'm sure I'll manage.
Also, the start up screen (for the Ultimate collection on Steam) and for the game individually (hadn't loaded the others) are so funny. It's so obviously an old game, and it's charming in its own way. Also, heard the music cut off before looping. CLASSIC /positive
The first area was pretty decent. I liked the big open room, primarily because it almost felt like a space to learn the controls. Did I utilize this opportunity? Not really, I was just wandering around trying to explore every nook and cranny to figure out wtf I was supposed to do.
I will say, I didn't know I could aim during stage one. I thought the only way I could shoot was to jump SDUIGHISG
AND BOY DID THAT HURT MY THUMB. I was pressing B (xbox 360 controller my beloved) each time, and that SUCKED for my thumb omg. I learned like, halfway through stage two that I could aim with RB LMAO
I had no issues with stage 1, and although I didn't get a perfect score, I'm not really after the "high score" gig. I just want the ✨experience✨
Stage two confused the HELL out of me. Also, I died twice. Before the stage started, I was surprised "easy mode" was thrown at me, but of course I wanted to activate it! APPARENTLY, I DIDN'T ACTIVATE IT THE FIRST TIME ALTHOUGH I PRESSED YES? I didn't know it wanted me to confirm twice, I thought when it asked "are you sure you want to switch?", it was suddenly asking me to switch over to normal mode, which I pressed no, but it KEPT ME ON NORMAL
The room with the fountain was interesting. Considering there's a door there, I suspect I go back there at a later level??? I could go back to Stage 1 during Stage 2, so I suspect I do. The infinite enemies was an interesting mechanic.
Also, first time I went around (before I got easy mode), didn't know you could get Alastor before the ghost fight thing? The ghost that comes out of the paintings? I fought those things with the regular blade and didn't have too much of an issue, but I suspect it would've been much easier if I had Alastor the first time.
CAN I JUST SAY, THAT ALASTOR ANIMATION WAS INSANE??? Getting stabbed by the blade, then Dante just rising up, even with the big ass guard on the blade (that likely went into his throat), completely unscathed. Honestly, this feels like an edgy teenage dream, it's so fascinating.
Besides my thumb hurting, I'm having a pretty decent time! Am I confused half the time? Yes, but I don't mind. It's not exactly like the game is guiding me, so I can't fault myself for being lost sometimes. I plan to play through the series (except DMC2, I was told it's not worth it), and imma be playing them in order via release instead of the chronological timeline I was told about.
I know Netflix's DMC and the game DMC are VERY different, so I wasn't hopping into the game expecting the anime. Besides, I only saw one episode (I do plan to continue, I just got really invested in the DMC music), and it's crazy how one episode led to this.
I played Paralives since the release yesterday and honestly I expected way more stuttering and lag, so I'm extremly surprised that's not the case - my Laptop isn't exactly a highend one, but it has no problem to run the game smootly. So yeah 🤗
Since that it's out of the way, meet my Para-Siblings 😍
If vampires could dream, my Gangrel Chester would be waking up screaming for years after what he experienced that night. Imagine: the leader of the Anarch gang with a big hammer promises to break all your bones when you are already lying on the ground and his friends are holding you. Оne of your knees is already broken. And worst of all, he has a very good and just reason to do it
I just want to share my experiences playing axie infinity. I was playing a gane made by Bling in which you can exchange the in game currency into Bitcoin. Then out of curiosity I typed, games that will pay Ethereum, then I discovered the Blockchain games. I was facinated with it and saw this cute monsters know as Axies. I was devastated at first because one axie now cost to much. But this did not discouraged me to buy my very own team. But they are really expensive since my team worth 0.04 ETH - Bird, 0.07 ETH for both the beast and Plant.
My husband wanted to play the game so I bought him 0.03-0.045 axies. But I guess just like commodities, the more expensive it is, the better. The axies I bought for him are not that good.
But to be honest, my bird is cheaper than his aqua (0.04 vs 0.045 ETH) but mine is way better than him. I got this axie a week a go. Maybe if I could just wait patiently in the store, I might find a strong axie even for a low price.
If you are in a budget, you can find a team for only 0.09 ETH (around 10,032.69 PHP /200.6 USD as of 5/23/2021), but this would not always promise a good team. But if you are lucky enough you can find decent axies for a low price.
My horrific adventures in DD continue. I’ve sent my Dismas and my booty hunter named Danvers to brothel to have some stress relief, and would you guess, my boys apparently don’t know how to handle these things properly. Danvers refused to leave brothel and spent one more week with gals and Dismas returned freakin exhausted.
Gather yourself, guys, we’re trying to defeat mystic evil forces here or somethin and you both can’t even cope with naked women!
