Went to Xuan Xin last week with my family. The food there was pretty good. Prices were alright but the service charge+etc were pretty darn expensive. Added almost RM20 to the bill ==; Not much to blog about anyways. The sem started and we're already working on projects and presentations. Will update when I get some photos from Ting >D
I might move my stuff to garagesale LJ or maybe eBay since selling it on my blog is kinda hard.
I was talking about Beyoncé's concert for those who may have thought otherwise ==; I had some time today, decided to pop it into my PS3 and play the whole thing XD Took some occasional photos too.
This is the starting. She came in singing "Hello" and walked towards the stage
Beyoncé performing "Halo"
"Irreplaceable" lol this song was fun, she was getting everyone to sing "to the left, to the left".
Beyoncé doing an unplugged (acoustic version) for "Sweet Dreams". Definitely something new, it sounds great though *-*
Yeah she had the saxophone come in playing the sexy music.
Then my favorite song "If I Were A Boy" Oh no she didn't! Oh yes she DID. *points to pic below* XDD
She stopped singing her songs a little, had a little fun with the audience. Swinging music. Which was then connected to the song "Deja Vu"
Three tap dancers came in and entertained the people while she gets changed backstage.
This is where the concert gets intimate. Beyoncé starts telling her story, of how it all started. Starting from when she was five. Then to the group she was in, then Destiny's Child.
Performing "Say My Name"
The theme for Charlie's Angels. "Independent Woman"
"Bootylicious" well that's the song name lol.
Oh man this part was awesome. "Survivor" was damn powerful. Got the audience hyped up.
She was in Austin Powers, that was for 2002. She sang "Work it Out"
Her career was on the top. Then... Beyoncé stated, she found love. (which was Jay-Z if you didn't know)
"Bonnie and Clyde"
"In 2003. I had my first solo album. But when I played it through for my record label, they told me I didn't have one hit on my album. I guess they were kinda right, I had five. 'Dangerously In Love', 'Naughty Girl', 'Me, Myself and I', 'Baby Boy' and 'Crazy In Love'". - Beyoncé
Performing "Crazy in Love"
"Naughty Girl" I loved the lightings xD
Oh please don't tell me you don't know this song from the pictures.
No?
Seriously this gives it all away.
"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)"
Look at that damn crowd lol, this song was THE perfect ending.
And that was how she got to what she is today.
Behind the scenes. She wanted strings on stages for the unplugged, which I thought was brilliant. It was so beautiful I was about to cry T.T
I don't really buy American concert DVDs but this one is definitely worth it. It's awesome and it gives a totally different feeling from other concerts I've seen. Like she wanted, it was intimate. And the songs, they have a much deeper meaning to them than the catchy chorus or lyrics. The origins of the song, why it was written. Beautiful.
Yes yet again I've changed the skin for my blogger. This time for Bayonetta :D Wanted to tweak the background but... I'm too lazy for it so gonna just leave it black XD
Alright some people may know that I've completed the game recently as I've 'announced' on Facebook and Twitter, Plurk too. Anyways I say I'd post something about it. Come to think of it, I'm not really sure what to write o_O So I'm gonna just crap and go along...
The game took longer than I expected. I planned to finish it within 2 days LOL. But I kept backtracking and played the previous stages to earn money to buy items and whatnot. To be honest, the game was harder than I expected. I was thinking on the lines of DMC style since.. it's from the same director - Hideki Kamiya from Platinum Games (converted to PS3 port by SEGA). I was only playing on Normal mode and I've died several times in some stages to the point I wanted to give up lol. Timing is critical in this game too. Dodging and even some cut scenes require you to mash certain buttons to escape something etc or you're dead. I've also tried Easy Mode (didn't try Very Easy) and... I swear you can play the game with only one hand baby. It's damn boring =.=;; srsly.
The storyline is pretty damn interesting I should say. Wasn't really what I expected at first. Character relationships, development, they were all pretty good. What else... oh the items and weapons, not as easy to get. Some of the weapons and accessories are pretty straightforward. The final 3... yup those are the hard ones. I remember reading that one of them, you have to completed 100 chapters (YES ONE FUCKING HUNDRED) on Normal or higher (there's Hard and Non-Stop Climax mode). One accessory is that you complete the game within 3 hours ==; even better.
As for the soundtrack, I like it. Not sure if everyone else would. It's pretty... classy, with spunk and more to the feminine side per say. I adore the remixed version for "Fly Me To The Moon". If you're interested to listen to it, I'm sure it's on Youtube. (Cause the whole soundtrack has 5 CDs - 150 songs... if you want it I have the link to download it lol, or just the song from me.)
To put it short, this game is really worth buying. It has high replay value, I don't know how many times I've already replayed the chapters. and I'm typing this fast cause I wanna continue earning some halos (in-game money) and then get some stuff XDD For people who owns an Xbox 360 or PS3. GET THIS GAME!! (Mine's a PS3 version... you'll have to install the game though for faster load times, or it'll kill you waiting, seriously)
LOL THE ENDING (that is after the credits and stuff, extra stuff) IS EPIC AWESUMZ!! It's like... mindfuck LOL. Seriously the dancing and all. I'll write more on that next post. I'm too happy to blog right now ;D
I'm in Kampar (Evon's room) right now and it's 3am lol xD Had steamboat+BBQ for din dins earlier too. Gonna sleep after I finish typing this I think. (or not lol)
So I've mentioned in the previous post that I'll be writing a bit on the demos I've played. So here it is!
Ninja Gaiden
Honestly, the first thing I said was "Thank god I didn't buy this game!!" I'm dead serious about this though. I'm not sure whether it's the demo's problems or it wasn't 'complete' yet. The main complaint I have is about the controls. Sometimes overly sensitive or sometimes not responsive at all. I can't really move around without mistakes and this is really deadly in this kind of genre's games isnt' it? Imagine falling off the cliff because the controls weren's responsive enough.
Other than that, I thought the graphics were mediocre. It's not up to PS3 par where I expected but it was still acceptable. I didn't finish the whole demo was it was pretty boring to me. If anyone has the game, please tell me what you think =.=;
Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer (Must get!!)
I've been waiting for this game for like... a long long time. Ever since it was announced. And I finally downloaded the demo for it. It's a slow paced game, crime and investigation. You'd have to walk around looking for information and be observant in it. This game is very interactive though, basically you're in control for every single action your character does. It's also done in real time, as in there are 4 (I think?) characters in the game and you'll be controlling one. What your character does will affect the other 3 characters causing a different type of event/scene to happen. That itself is pretty interesting.
Graphic-wise. It's stunning. Some characters doesn't look that good but overall it's very realistic. The gameplay is very unique in its own way too. I'm definitely getting this game later, not now since I've gotten 2 games and they're too costly here ;_;
Dante's Inferno
I've got mixed feelings about this game. It's like Devil May Cry meets God of War. My first impression was... "This game's graphics is STUNNING!!!" And I do mean it.
Just look at this screenshot for it. As for the gameplay... I think it's pretty typical, like the normal action adventure games. But if you're asking if I would buy it... the answer is probably no. Amazing graphics, but nothing else really caught my attention.
Oh did I mention that there are topless girls inside? LOL
Lair
I don't have much to say about this game. Totally not my type, so I wouldn't ever get it. The gameplay... how do I say... you're on a dragon... flying around attacking people and protecting your country? Yep pretty much what I got from the demo so it's boring to me. Graphics weren't exactly good, just plain too.
Mirror's Edge
It reminds me of the first Persona game... it's in first person view. It's a fast paced game, where... everything goes FAST! And I do mean really fast. Your character doesn't stop, you have to run, jump, JUMP long distances, run away from bad assed guys who chase you around with guns and start shooting for no reason. Graphics aren't exactly stunning but I do love it.
Not something I would get but it's sometimes a nice change of game to try.
So the only one I mentioned that is recommended by me would be Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer xDD
Well yeah I figured I don't wanna continue gaming at the moment, cause if I did... God knows what time I'll stop LOL. And I gotta wake up early to go to the bus station and head for Kampar tomorrow morning.
Anyways, I think I recommended 2 games, LittleBigPlanet and Resident Evil 5.
I traded my LBP for another game cause it just wasn't fun enough in Single Player mode. T.T
I got White Knight Chronicles and Bayonetta. The rest of the games I've only played the demo versions.
White Knight Chronicles
What attracted me to get this game? Only 2 factors. The cover looked really good, and the fact that it was an RPG. lol. Anyways what can I say about this game is that... It wasn't really up to my expectations.
Graphics- Honestly, they weren't really considered as good for a PS3 game. Usually the cut scenes would look better compared to in-game graphics but they look pretty similar in this case.
Storyline- As for the storyline... pretty linear actually, typical boy meets princess, princess gets caught, boy obtains power, boy saves princess lol. I can't really say that for the whole thing as I haven't finished the whole game but I'm guessing that's how it works.
Controls- Hmm the controls are pretty alright. Camera angles are easy to work with and the controls are pretty responsive.
Battle system- Slow! That's the only word I can say actually xD The battle system is sort of like FFXII. There's a clock thingy there where it spins, and when it's full, you initiate attack.
The cool thing is when transforming into a knight. ... and some parts are pretty funny, I just can't remember where lol.
Rating for this game 2/5. I wouldn't really recommend people to get it I guess.
Bayonetta
I got it after hearing so many people saying it's fucking AWESUMZ. Influential people? Jingna and even Danny Choo! So I went to watch the trailer and FUCK (excuse my French) it was GOOD. I've heard complaints that the PS3 version had horrible loading time... which was true actually. (I've tried it). They had a patch which was the "INSTALL" option for the game, it takes about 4.5GB? of your hard-drive but it increases the load times DRAMATICALLY. I'm serious.
Graphics- Most say that it's inferior to the 360's version but still... a ported-to-PS3 game... it's still a sweet deal. I wouldn't trade it for the Xbox version. I remember in my previous post I took a photo of my tv using my SLR... it was showing Bayonetta. :3 All in all, I think the graphics for Bayonetta PS3 version is splendid, up to the PS3 standards.
Storyline- Hmm I have to say I never thought I'd be playing a witch fighting against angels lol. So it's not the typical hero saves the world storyline. Kudos to that. And a kickass megane (spectacles) witch? Not something we see so often too. I've been playing til early mornings just cause I wanted to know what happened next ==; Oh god I'm so addicted.
Controls+Camera- Very good I'd have to say. When it gets to a certain angle maybe near a wall or blocked by other objects, you can still see what you're doing? o_O And it's responsive too, the controls I mean.
Battle- The battle is similar to Devil May Cry, with more exaggerated moves in big scales. And there's the fun in different sorts of combos *-* Never play Easy mode as.... it's boring to mash the same button over and over again. Go to youtube to see the videos. I couldn't find one I like xD
I can only sing praises for this game. It's really got me hooked with the cheesy lines, oversexed moves, amazing graphics, and the remix version of Fly Me To The Moon (I love this song and I love them for remixing it).
Rating- 5/5 *-*
As for the rest of the games... which are demos. I'll put it in another post for next time.
The list would be Dante's Inferno, Heavy Rain, Ninja Gaiden, Lair, Mirror's Edge... I can't remember what else. Maybe Metal Gear Solid and Siren.
Seems like my 'short' post wasn't so short after all XD
Two random images of my room... If you've seen the previous posts on "Tour of My Room" you'll know I have a bulky fat tv in my room on a maroon cabinet thingy. So I decided to get rid of that cabinet cause I hate it ==; Then change my tv to an LCD one. (Took it from the living room LOL).
So my gears table(s). PS3 Cloud Black edition, PS2, desktop PC, MacBook Pro. I should hook my PSone up too if I can find it, along with my Dream Cast lmao.
(above) Playing Bayonetta. The game's cover is on the floor.
Came back home today and looked at my makeup table... decided to clean it up ==; so here's how it looks like now I guess lmao.
Oh yeah went walking around Gurney again today before going back. Stopped by The Mod House and ended up trying a dress without looking at the price first LOL. In the end after I tried it out... I still got it =.=;;; holy shit it was RM389! Luckily there's like 40% discount, but still it cost RM233+. Ehh I've overspent OVERSPENT this month YES MONTH even though it's still the beginning of the month now. Spent RM33 on a basic tee -- Dorothy Perkins. RM66 on two Topshop basic tank tops =.= crap.
Here's what I did with the plain Dorothy Perkins tee. Printed my assignment on it LOL. Printmaking class. It's harder than I thought =.=
Anyways I'm on my 2 week break now so gonna just relax with lots of sleep and gaming!!!!! BAYONETTA AND WHITE KNIGHT CHRONICLES YEAH BABEHHH~~~~!
Oh yeah my dad is gonna buy a hard cover casing for my MacBook Pro :3 yey, I should get a red one? >D
I need a haircut too hmm... might get one tomorrow.
