Only Up Rush Is A Terrifying Game Of Heights, I’m Afraid Of Heights.
Only Up has been on my radar for a while. I have seen some gameplay clips from Dr Disrespect before the fall & I knew what this game would do to me. You see Theo, the thing is, I am deathly afraid of heights. I remember playing Assassin’s Creed & having to climb the towers & leap from them. Even that would get my stomach. Now we have Only Up Rush & man…what a trip. The game was on sale, it looks great so I figured I might as well go for it.
Do I recomend this game? ABSOLUTELY!! It is actually very well made. The graphics & music is very nice & believe it or not, the music is actually tension calming. The gameplay itself is actually very forgiving with pretty big hit boxes so as long as your hands would have connected with the platform, your character will adjust for the rotation to a degree, you do have to be close enough for it to save you.
The character customization is pretty decent with better boob physics than Dragon Age Veilguard as my character will show you. That being said, do I recommend this game for everybody? NO! It took me months of contemplating to finally buy the game & days to finally launch it. Why? Well, because as the title of the video says, I am afraid of heights. Every single fall was felt. Every single hard jump was tense as hell. There is no exaggeration in my stress in this game & I made the camera capture big enough for you to see all my expressions.
I would rate my fear of heights a 7/10 so if you would rate your fear as high or more, maybe don’t pick it up. But if you are adventurous as I am & want to challenge yourself in a controlled & safe environment, then absolutely pick this game up. I also rate the game a solid 8/10 for all the reasons stated above & the creativity of the game. So check it out. Thank you for watching.Topic: Gate Zero (Bible Game)
Yeah, so I know this won’t be everyone’s taste, but I thought I’d bring it up in case no one else was talking about it. Gate Zero is a sort of open world, exploration type game that takes place in ancient Israel, where you get witness various Biblical events unfold. Basically involves time shenanigans similar to the Assassin’s Creed games, you know you’re there in mind, but you’re body is in chair somewhere. Anyway, beyond just exploration, it also allows you to customize your character, there’s some puzzle and stealth elements in the game, dialogue options even (though I’m not sure how in depth). It’s meant to be family friendly, so probably pretty basic, but I still believe the premise on it could make for a neat game. I’ve always wanted to see a Bible game and for that reason, I hope it gets the funding needed. They have a Kickstarter that ends July 6th (well, 5th midnight, but same deal). They also have a trailer on Youtube and the game itself will be on Steam, with optional multiplayer via Mobile. So yeah, there it is, just thought I’d bring that to ya’lls attention for anyone who might be interested. If not that’s cool, maybe you know someone who is or would be.
Thanks
Just finished Stray, and really enjoyed it. Exploring the city as a cat was very fun, along with being as mischievous as I could. Being able to climb up on so many places kind of reminded me of the old Assassin’s Creed games I played on the 360, except you’re climbing around as a cat instead of a human. I really tried to explore as much of the environments as I could. The story was more interesting than I expected. Got my face grinning, and admittedly even got my eyes watering. I expect to go back to collect the other secrets and collectables that slipped passed me. Definitely would recommend this game to someone.
Valhalla is low key woke, canon is that Eivor is female, even though the character is Odin reborn, there are also the odd diverse Viking…which I don’t believe is very accurate correct me if I’m wrong, also numerous gay relationships in game which are hinted at. It feels like they are trying to force feed you it without shoving it down your throat.
If that annoys the hell out you don’t even get me started on the combat, I miss the days when you were a skilled assassin where you had the ability to clear numerous enemies looking like a total fucking ninja, Valhalla is basically bash the hell out the button to slash your opponent about 10 times before they die and dodging their unstoppable attack.
It’s an enjoyable game don’t get me wrong but the golden age of Assassin’s Creed is over.
I am hesitant to get all excited and happy over this for a couple of reasons.
1) This game’s success depends heavily on its era. If they are dumb enough to put it in this High Republic dumpster fire….no thanks. Old Republic, sure…but I always have SWTOR for that if I get the itch. Now, of course an obvious choice is Mando time period, but why in the hell would anyone wanna play a game in a world where all roads still lead to the Disney Trilogy? There is still no evidence that they are breaking off course from that, and part of playing any open world game is losing yourself in it, becoming a part of it, because these days such games usually are a “Choices Matter” scenario.
I just met Luke Skywalker and helped him out on a mission that altered the game’s world….too bad he’s still gonna be Jake Skywalker…immersion ruined.
Now, as an EU guy, clearly I’m gonna be biased, cuz I’d rather play a game in that Universe where there is actually room to do stuff and feel like you are in a part of Star Wars, add into the fact that I don’t like Mando either, and I’m clearly not a target audience.
2) I’d be wary of anything coming out of Ubisoft going forward. I’ve got a friend who is diehard for them. Loves it, but I keep reminding him of how easily these days Ubisoft bends the knee. The execs across the company may very well be SJW friendly, which means anything we get out of them could be SJW woke trash. They have a built in ready to sell to audience that will hear “Open World Star Wars game from guys who make Assassin’s Creed! Sweet, sign me up!” with no questions asked. It’s a TLOU2 possibility all over again where people will expect one thing and get another.
So I’d be wary of anything coming out of Lucasfilm games, because the landscape of how and why things get done these days does not favor the anti-woke perspective of just wanting escapism.
