So here it is, a week after the release of Diablo III. Mine you that many people cannot stand games that require you to log into a server in order to play the game. I personally do not care as much. The game is amazing. It’s really fun and it’s better when you have friends to play with. Then it’s harder but more enjoyable.

There are 4 levels to the game:

1. Normal
2. Nightmare
3. Hell
4. Inferno

Your character must hit a certain level in order to go to the next difficulty as well as beating the game on the current difficulty level.

Personally I have a level 40 Demon Hunter and have some issues soloing Nightmare. You cannot get into Nightmare until you hit at lease lvl 25 and beat the normal difficulty. As for normal difficulty, it’s a breeze for my character now. There is no character customization for you to change the way your character looks. Just like all other Diablo’s. However, you can choose male or female.

Now for the armor. As you level there are millions of choices as you go through the ranks of the dungeons. You have a huge select that you can choose from. Here is a possible selection of armor piece that you may choose:

The Inquisitor

• Torso
• Demon Hunter Only
• Legendary Cloak
• 360–414 Armor 
• +11-20 Resistance to All Elements
• +6-7% Movement Speed
• One of 2 Magic Properties (varies)
• Regenerates 161-234 Life per Second
• Regenerates 281-410 Life per Second
• One of 2 Magic Properties (varies)
  • +150-169 Dexterity
  • +84-89 Dexterity
• One of 6 Magic Properties (varies)
  • Reduces resource cost of Chakram by 1-5 Hatred.
  • Reduces resource cost of Impale by 1-5 Hatred.
  • Increases Spike Trap Damage by 5-12%
  • Increases Critical Hit Chance of Strafe by 2-7%
  • Increases Grenades Damage by 5-12%
  • Increases Evasive Fire Damage by 5-12%
• +1 Random Magic Property

As you can see just one piece of armor can be many things. And each Rare, Legendary, set piece has their own name depending on the stats that is on the piece.

Weapons are the same as armor when it comes to naming and stats. It’s all level base and you get these items from funning dungeon or from vendors.

What about crafting?

There are only 2 abilities that you can craft. Blacksmithing and Jewel Crafting. Well, they are not skills, there are vendors that craft these items for you. You level these NPCs up with different means and doing so allows you to get better gear / gems. Which you can in turn sell on the AH or use on your character. Now once, you get further up into the levels of your blacksmithing and jew crafting, you will need more items to allow you to upgrade them.

The “Cow” level…  There is no cow level. There is however, a level of rainbow sparkly happiness. You will have to get 5 items and then have the blacksmith to craft it. Then you can visit this most cheerful area. I will not spoil it for you. If you would like it spoiled then just YouTube it and you will see the area.

There is so much more and the story is amazing. Many twists and it leaves you asking for more.

Yes I do recommend it for everyone that is in the mature age range. It’s a lot of fun.

Customer: Excuse me which system is better?
Retailer: Well, I play the PS3 and I think it’s the best.
Customer: ok, thanks I would like to buy one then.

This is a fake dialog but it happens more then you would think. Everyone is bias with what system is “better” I am personally a Xbox 360 fan. I tried to play on a PS3 and soon sold it to a co-worker. Am I bias toward 360, heck yeah I am and I am proud to be. We all how our choice in which system we prefer.

Now, parent, do not trust the salesman with which system to get your child. I am not saying to flat out ask your child which they prefer but you can watch their reactions when commercials for any of the systems are on. Also, listen to what games they are talking about because some are system specific. in other words you do not want them talking about a game that they want and it’s only available for the Nintendo WII, like Mario.

My advise for the buyer, do research on the system that you want and make a sound decision before you buy. Do not trust the salesman for this.

Diablo III

November 18, 2011: I got my beta key for Diablo III. So far I love it. I cannot wait for the release of the game now. I also cannot wait for more content to be unlocked for us to test.

The story thus far: You start off at your house, I guess. You run to the town where you find a bunch of soldiers trying to hold the gate. They ask for your help. As you accept the quest you are pushed into a battle. After a few kills they stop spawning and the quest is completed. Then the storeline continues. I will not ruin it for you to much.

You get a choice of a Wizard, Barbarian, Monk, Witch Doctor, or a Demon Hunter.

I have only played the Demon Hunter and currently testing out the Wizard. I will be trying out each of the classes just to see which I would love to try out when the real game is released. As of right now I think the Demon Hunter is really broken but I am sure it will become harder once the game progresses. So as of right now I will be playing a DH when the game comes out.

The UI is really nice and I like that you have a limited amount of choices with powers/skills to use while you are in the dungeon. Also, the way you unlock the slots to hold the powers is a nice touch as well. Potions have a cooldown to use and that is a nice touch since they do not want this to be a potion game. in other words, you go after a large boss at a lower level and you just use potions till you kill the boss when you shouldnt’ have faced himin the first place.

The Blacksmith;
The way they have the blacksmith upgrade so that you can get better gear from the BS is a clever idea. That way you can get your gear as you level. Also, you can not get high level gear. In the beta I only received enough to level my blacksmith up once but the difference in the gear that I recieved from the gear was amazing. I even created something for my other classes that helpped out tremendously.

The over all buck;
This is an awesome game I CANNOT wait for it to be released because I will be getting the collectiors edition… It’s already on researved ;-) So thank you for reading and I hope this small review helpped you to decide if you want the game or not.

The Elder Scrolls V – Skyrim

Welcome to this weeks post on “The Elder Scrolls V – Skyrim”. Want to know my review on this game?

GET IT! IT’S AWESOME!

I am going to start off by saying I am not a Fable fan. However, one day a friend of mine (Ashley) came over and she wanted to download some content for the game. I said sure, it’s all good. Well, I watched her play Fable 3 a little and I tried it out. I went out and bought it 2 days later when I got paid.

Storyline:

The story is interesting to say the least. You are a prince/princess and your brother is the king. He is a tyrant and you are be-quested to overthrow him. The thing is you do and you can do the classic Fable thing and be good or evil with your actions. Near the end of your quest to overthrow your brother you find out why he has been such a douche bag. There is a great evil on the way and you find this out one year before it comes to you. The catch is you have to save up to 6.5 million gold in your treasury to save 6.5 million people. With-in this year you have to make judgments and then you have to decided to keep your promises or go back on them to save the money. Once the great evil comes you end up fighting your mentor Sir. Walter.

Likes:

• Evil/Good: I really like how your decisions effect the game. If you want to be evil you are evil and everyone talks about you as a evil tyrant like your brother. If you are good then everyone praises you.
• Money Making: Making money is really easy if you do it right. Start off doing the jobs with either the lute, bread, blacksmith. Once you have enough money to buy a house do so. Buy and rent out. Make sure you keep up the repairs or you will have a house that pays you nothing. Until you own all houses in an area, do the professions.
• Relationships: I am not sure about the other Fables but I know in Fable 3 you can work on a relationship with either a male or female character and you can fall in love with them. You can even have children with your partner by adopting or having sex.
• Side Quests: The side quests are kinda boring but I can see why you will need them. One of my favorite side quest is the garden gnomes. These fowl mouth creatures trick this NPC into freeing them. They go all around the kingdom hiding spreading their depressing messages. When you hear them you really want to kill them to return them back to the

Dislikes

I really cannot think of anything that I did not like about this game. I will think on it and let you know soon.
