GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Thursday, Aug 20, 2009

Ok, once again, sorry for not posting a blog in a little while, I have not been in a bloggy mood at all lately, I have many ideas floating around in my head though (one of which is a continuation of another Bitter Gamer blog, but it's just an idea), maybe I'll put one of those into a blog. Anyway in gaming news I started Beyond Good and Evil about 3 or 4 days ago, and I'll probably beat it tomorrow, as you can see it's a fairly short game, it took me like 12 hours to get to where I'm at in the game. As for Age of Empires, I've beaten Age of Empires, Age of Empires: The Rise of Rime, Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings, Age of Empires 3, and Age of Empires 3: The War Chiefs, so I've beaten all of the Aoe games except for AoE 2: The Conquerors, and AoE 3: Asian Dynasties. As you probably have already guessed I'm getting pretty freaking tired of Age of Empires, maybe if it wasn't so flippin difficult I wouldn't be so tired of it but I can't change that; also I believe I told Rheinmetal that AoE 2 was easier than the original AoE, it's not, it hard, very hard, walk into it slowly! So right now I'm trying to decide whether or not to go ahead and start and finish The Conquerors. If I move on and play something else (which I'm leaning towards)I'll either play Civ. 3 or Siberia -I'm like Microsoft, between Sony and Nintendo I don't know what the frick to do!-, and this is where you guys help out, start voting! At any rate you guys can expect 2 more reviews coming from me within a few days for Beyond Good and Evil and Age of Empires 2.

I have also decided, yep that's right I decided, without votes ..... I've decided to save up in order to purchase a PS3 slim, one of the reasons I couldn't get one in the first place was that I didn't have enough room for the giant thing, but now that they giving consumers a slim version, well, that just makes everything awesome. Once I get one I plan on getting some games like Valkyria Chronicles, Infamous, LittleBigPlanet, aswell as all those great exclusives that are coming to the console, that's one of the advantages the PS3 has over the competition, fantastic exclusives, sure the 360 has Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, and Overlord, and the WII has Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Smash Brothers Brawl, but the PS3 has a pretty good amount of fantastic exclusive games, aswell as many others coming out for it later this year and next year. Put that together with the Blue-Ray player, built-in Wi-Fi, and it's smaller size and you have a really awesome console, that gives you a great amount of bang for your buck. Don't get me wrong I love Xbox 360, I'm just excited to finally get a PS3.

360 Is better than PS3 but both are good
Posted Aug 20, 2009 9:54 pm PT
Good work with your AOE progress.Seems like everybody is getting a PS3 now,hope you enjoy it

I'm also saving for a PS3 now, in a way.

Don't worry, I been in a blog slump too. I am also getting a PS3.

"Excited" is the right word! I was exactly like that, when I got mine. I had an X360 as well, but I felt that something was missing... After having tested both systems, my conclusion is that X360 is better as a gaming console, and generally as a proposition in the market (if it doesn't break that is), but PS3 is better as a gadget, and it has something that all Sony products have: style.

Will the slim version work on a standard TV.... I might get one

"Not feeling bloggy." I like that phrase, I'm going to have to remember it.

I can't remember whether or not the Chinese were part of the Conquerors or not, my memory is fuzzy on the older AOE games. I just remember wiping the floor with the Chu-No Ku...maybe they were called? 20 or so and it was all over. I just remember those and Persian Elephants ftw back then. PS3/360 comments again...ick. I have 'em both, like 'em both. So sue me!

@Allicrombie - LBP looks great, have you played Valkyria Chronicles?
@I will enjoy it.....now I need $300.
@MistressMinako - Wow, everyone is getting a PS3. @Rheinmetal - Very well said, you just described how I feel about the PS3 for the main part.
@Flipyap28 - I don't see why not, I have just a standard TV, and I'm getting one, I'm sure that Sony wouldn't do something idiotic like only make the PS3 for HD TVs.
@mprezzy - Yep, that's right I am a marvel of phrasing wonder. As for The Conquerors it has The Huns, Koreans, and Spanish and there might be one more civ. And well good for you but some people are poor and as soon they get money they spend it on PSX and PS2 RPGs!......uh flipyap.....yep I was talking about flipyap.....

I already have a PS3, but the slim looks pretty cool
Posted Aug 21, 2009 8:13 am PT
It's good that you're getting a PS3. It's always good to know that there's another PS3 user. The PS3 has got some awesome exclusives (Valkyria Chronicles and MGS34 to name a couple).
Posted Aug 21, 2009 8:23 am PT
Hey! I dont spend all my money on PS2 games, I have a 360 aswell
Posted Aug 21, 2009 8:41 am PT
Ow yeah man i really need to buy PS3, hope u will buy it soon. Cuz PS3 getting some manny bad ass exclusives and already have a tons of them now.
Posted Aug 21, 2009 9:12 am PT
I need a PS3 or a 360.
Posted Aug 21, 2009 9:49 am PT
Eh, I wasn't braggin' and I'm awfully poor. I just have really bad priorities in life. I only meant that I figured people were going to start arguing back and forth on it again, and I've never seen the point. They're both fun.
Posted Aug 21, 2009 9:54 am PT
@flipyap28 - ok, the joke wasn't landed.... oh well @danwarecritic - It's a hard choice deciding which one to get, I'm just glad I wasn't really thinking of the PS3 when I was saving for my 360, because back then it was $400 for a PS3.
@AbyssD - Exactly, the exclusives are awesome.
@mprezzy - Oh I didn't think you were bragging, I was just joking around. I can't say that I'm completely innocent when it comes to the console wars, I have defended consoles.....with my life one time, I'm just lucky that old lady forgot her cane that day!
Posted Aug 21, 2009 4:47 pm PT
What is causing Age of Empires to be so difficult?
Posted Aug 21, 2009 5:17 pm PT
I did understand the joke, just why me
Posted Aug 21, 2009 5:19 pm PT
@Garrison Ford - Probably the main and only reason for it's difficulty is it's enemies, I'm actually great at building walls, towers, etc. but I always need a cheat for giving me an advantage over the enemies, also alot of times the enemies bases seems almost impenetrable, if you have AoE 2 refer to the Mongolian campaign mission when they invaded China
@Flipyap28 - I just chose you because it was the first name I thought of heheh

'Gratz on getting a PS3. Mine definitely gets the most play time out of the 3 current gen consoles I have.
Posted Aug 21, 2009 8:36 pm PT
I love AoE, but after 100 of hours of playing it I got tired of it I don't know which one to recomend you to play, I think it is easiest for you to decided that .

I'm also planing to buy a PS3 but I kinda like the "fat" version more so I don't know if I'm gonna buy the old or slim version, but hope you get the slim as fast as it comes out

have fun
Posted Aug 22, 2009 3:08 pm PT
I sure hope you enjoy your new PS3 when you get it! Someday I might get one... but for now I will have to stay with my XBox 360!
Posted Aug 23, 2009 12:12 am PT
I didn't play any of the prior AOE, but I've been playing III, the War Chiefs for quite a while now and I really like it. Maybe I need to go back and play the others. I have played AOM a ton and that one is neat-o, too.

A slim was bound to happen. Sony gets all fired up about getting a product out and then tweeks it as they go. Did the same thing with the PS2. Silliness.

@tprezzy12 - You should definitely play AoE 2 and The Conquerors expansion. I think The Conquerors is the best AoE that I've played and I've played all of them except Asian Dynasties. Also, at Wal-Mart if they still have it, they were selling a $10 Collectors Edition AoE package, it comes with AoE, AoE; Rise of Rome, AoE 2, and AoE 2: The Conquerors, you might want to check if they still have it. Wow, I can talk quite a bit about AoE.

PS3 has quite a library. I have 31 games for it which is 1 game more than the 360. You can just copy my collection [listed]. My favorite game was Resistance 2. America forces and aliens just make me excited similar to Crysis. Blazblue and Soul Calibur IV are fun.

@SquareEnixFan13

Well I think U should Grab PS3, It's a fairly good deal now .......
Posted Aug 28, 2009 10:26 am PT
Hahaha nice. I've heard Beyond Good and Evil is a wonderful game, what do you think of it?

I'll probably be purchasing a slim PS3 sooner or later. It's a good breakthrough for Sony.
Posted Sep 1, 2009 8:01 pm PT
@MareInfinitus - I really liked Beyond Good and Evil, I have a review up for it too if you want to read that.
Posted Sep 1, 2009 9:09 pm PT
