Destiny 2

Destiny 2 is a very fun game. Destiny 2 was made in the year 2017. You can choose a character from 3 classes. The classes are Hunter, Titan and Warlock. I chose Hunter because I am a lone Wolf. If you aren’t OK with the class you picked you can always chose another class. I have all of the classes unlocked, but my main is a Hunter. I just got an exotic weapon from an “Octopus Man” named Xur. For 29 legendary shards you could get a legendary weapon. On each Saturday, Xur always moves to a different planet or area. Xur always has different weapon each time he moves.

Me and my friends love playing this game together. We love doing raids like the Leviathan.

The Rising Popularity of Live Action Shows

Starting with Dragon Ball Evolution, the popularity of Live Action shows and movies grow inversely proportional to the satisfaction of the true fans. Soon after that, we had Tokyo Ghoul live action, then Death Note live action. In both, the movies might have sold well, but the reception was terrible. And with TV shows like Titans, yeah, the reviews were mixed. But why were the reviews so bad?

Well, for starters, the trend seems to be that when you try to make something animated a real life movie, it doesn’t work out. The main reason is character design and special traits. When you have a character that is dressed like a witch with a matte skin tone and a defined figure, it’s difficult to recreate that. In the Attack o Titan live action, there wasn’t much need for character designs other than the actual people. The titans were CG, so it didn’t matter. However, when you do a poor job at even CG, then it gives me reason to hate it. You can be bad at character design, but be good at CG. *sigh* but when you’re bad at both, then there’s no excuse. So why do people still MAKE THESE.

Another trend seems to be that the original works are usually originated from the other-realms. Like Japan, China, and Korea. HOWEVER, a recent addition has made its way here in America. Yes, another live action that makes us all want to face palm our selves. What could possibly have made its way here. *massive sigh* Sonic the Hedgehog LiVe AcTiOn MoViE. yAaAaAaAaAYyYyyY. You might be thinking, “wElL eXcUsE mE, but Detective Pikachu also come out this year.” Well yes, but it is technically not live action since half the characters are actually animated Pokemon. With Sonic, Sonic is the only animated character. Therefore, it is live action.

First off with character design. Sonic’s is by far, the worst. He may be tall, he’s taller than modern sonic and classic sonic. They should have made him same as or smaller than classic sonic. He’s too tall, what’s next. OH RIGHT, so you know how EVERY OTHER SONIC’S EYES ARE SORTA CONNECTED, WELL THE PRODUCER SAID NO. We have to make him look ReAlIsTiC because everything else is ReAlIsTiC. This ended up being the worst decision anyone has ever made. So bad that something had to be done!

The fans back lashed at the Sonic movie. They tortured it, tore it, then ripped it apart with nothing left. The hate on Twitter and YouTube has completely decimated the hype and excitement for the movie (not like there was any to begin with). However, there is good news, sorta. The director and everyone else are remaking Sonic’s character so he is more in line with what fans want him to be. I mean, paramount has done an excellent job in the past with characters (like Transformers for example). As a result, I really don’t understand how they messed up so retartedly bad. It does not make any sense. Hopefully they will fix Sonic and make the movie at least a little more decent than it was (so basically not decent whatsoever). Maybe, just maybe it will work. I really don’t care though.

Anthem

 

Anthem is a looter shooter type game developed by Bioware which is on Xbox PC and PS4, the same people who made Destiny 1 &2. The game has you take control of a nameless character (or freelancer according to the game) who pilots a suit of armor called a Javelin and completes these things called contracts (or missions/quests for every other game). There are four types of Javelins right now: Colossus, Interceptor, Ranger, and Storm. These Javelins have different abilities.

The first Javelin in the picture is The Storm class  which is like a mage because it can summon weather abilities that can hurt enemies. The next one the Ranger class is the basic class you get at the start of the game, and it has some basic abilities. The biggest one is the Colossus which is just what it sounds a big tank that walks slower but has powerful weapons and a lot of  health. The last one to the right  is the Interceptor class. This class is the melee class in the primary focus of its ranged of weapons is close range to RIGHT UP IN THE ENEMIES FACE . Most reviewers don’t like the game ,but I say play it because you might enjoy it.

COD BO 4

This is the all new Call of Duty Black OPS 4 game. This include a Specialist HQ, Zombies, Dead of Night, Blackout, Multiplayer, Blood of the Dead and many more playable options.  I love all the Call of Duty games and many more games made by Activision. I just learned about a old Call of Duty game called Cal of Duty World at War. I will do  a post about it really soon. So, far I love this game. I love playing the Specialist HQ and playing as each specialist. My favorite specialist is Fire Break. I only played the Blackout mode once and I liked it.  I think its because he has a really cool weapon and cool abilities. My second favorite is Ajax. He has a shield where you can put your pistol in and you can protect your self while shooting your enemies.   My  third favorite specialist is Battery.  She has a gun that turns into crossbow. My last favorite specialist is Prophet. he has a sniper. His ” superpower” is a silent powered sniper. His sniper is a suppressed gun. It is silent so your enemies cant  here you sniping from 1,000 miles away. It has a zoom in scope that also has a thermal setting on it.
