Darksouls 3

Have you been wanting to play Darksouls 3 for the first time? Well you're in luck! Here I'll give you some quick tricks and such to help you get the most out of your very first Darksouls 3 playthrough. Don't worry! this guide will have no spoilers at all!

Picking Your Class

Picking your very first class in Darksouls 3 could make the difference between hating and loving the game. Your class gives you all your starting gear, spells, weapons, and your base stats. So it's important to look over the different classes and pick the one which best fits with your preferred play style.

Darksouls 3 has a total of ten classes that you can pick from in the start of the game. Darksouls is not an mmo, so your class will not give you can class based skills or attacks. It will just give you a set of starting stats, armor, weapons and/or spells. All the armor, weapons and spells you get in every class can be found later throughout the world of Darksouls 3. I'll start going through the different classes Darksouls 3 has to offer!

Secret World Legends: Black Sun, Red Sands, Tier 9 Guide.

Black Sun, Red Sands Tier 9 Alright. So Black Sun, Red Sands in the main story quest in Egypt, but there is a somewhat hard puzzle in Tier Nine. Once you get to a point, it'll say "Continue Singh's research to open the door." This part is really confusing but if you look around there is a bunch of statues. You need to click those in the right order. The right order is #1 Meretseger #2 Ma'at #3 Horus #4 Bast #5 Satis #6 Sekhmet. After you do all of those it will tell you to find the statue of Anibus. If you go all the way back to where you came from the front and jump down. You'll see a door you can now open and that's where it is. Tier 11 You don't really get any more puzzles till you get to Tier 11 you come to a large area with a sand golem in the middle, what you need to do is go to the large pillars and there will be blue portals, go through each one and you'll be on the top of a pillar, you'll see a white box on each of th...

Secret World Legends: Side quest walkthrough pt1

Secret World Legends       Secret World Legends! It is a somewhat new remake of The Secret World, with a whole new combat system. To quote the Executive Producer Scott Junior "We are taking what was an MMORPG and transitioning it into a shared world free-to-play RPG." But SWL is a far cry from the types of MMOs you see today where it just gives you a quest marker you have to follow through the entire game. In Secret World Legends you'll sometimes have a marker to follow, but in a lot of the smaller side quests you'll be given a puzzle or hints that you will have to try and figure out. And that's what we will be covering! Kingsmouth     This is not a  Beginners Guide to the game  or a guide to the main story line either. We'll be focusing on the side quests that you can find around the map. So also all the quests that are inside the main quest we won't be covering, since it explains those to you are fairly st...

Injustice 2 Review

Image
Injustice 2 Injustice 2 released May of 2017 as a sequel to Injustice: Gods Among Us. The injustice Series is a fighting game in the style of Mortal Combat with DC super heros with a story line of multiple realities and a civil war between the different superheros. In my opinion Injustice: Gods Among Us is just another fighting game, it had a good story but other than that it was bland. Injustice 2 completely stepped up it's game with singleplayer content and replayability value. And Here's Why! Injustice has a Multiverse System, there is five to six multiverse events you can do, each one you'll have mini events inside each one (AKA having to fight 3 to 18 enemies). Each Multiverse will give you a reward after beating it, and will sometimes require you to play only as one character. Mini events will also give you rewards, and if you get a certain amount of points you can get a Bronze, Silver, and Gold Mother Crate. Now let'...
