Games
I'm primarly a PC gamer that likes to play RPG or multiplayer games. I do have a Nintendo Switch that I do neglect. I am starting to slow down on the gaming department, as life has gotten way to busy these days.
- Pugstorm1.0 got released. Played it with a friend for a bit, but didn't finish. Summoner was really shit.
- ArenanetThey have definitely learn some lessons from the previous mini-expansion like giving weapons at the start. I am liking it so far but its way too early (1/4 complete). Having only one meta event was disappointing (literarily just kill at same time mechanic).
- Arenanet⭐6/10Combats really good this expansion (minus the job balance and identity), even the dungeons are great but it's the only thing holding the game together. The story is really mediocre in especially coming from Endwalker (crazy cat lady keeps self inserting herself, my favourite parts were without her). My friends and I have started to notice the gap in between content updates is quite lengthy, and hasn't changed between expansion releases. There is not much to do if not raiding savage/ultimate. I don't think I will play much this time round, already looking to unsub and demolish my house. Might not even play future expansions as life has gotten really busy and FFXIV isn't what I'm looking for currently. I will note, the graphics update was a worthwhile improvement!
- V RisingStunlock Studios⭐7/10A very fun ARPG, but I recommend you turn on the setting to turn the ability to teleport with items. Was pretty good but there was kind of an abnormally large grind of gathering materials which was tedious.
- Maplestory (Global)Nexon⭐6/10This seems more like nostalgia then good game. The boss fights are really fun and the combat is still really good. However it seems like a really long daily grind (not a bad thing but I don't have as much time these days). The major events are very FOMO, but at least the game isn't pay to win on Global MS Reboot server.
- Eleventh Hour Games⭐8/10A much better alternative to Diablo 4 and cheeper too! The skill tree is what I like most about the game where the choices are meaningful and actually change the ability. I found it much easier to craft compared to Path of Exile which made it more accessible to me. The game has a very stale endgame currently; while monoliths and dungeons are cool, the game doesn't have anything else. But its still early and I am looking forward to the next season.
- PocketpairSurprising fun but it is very much a game in early access. I'm a huge fan of Pokemon survivor crossover (I like the base & resource aspect) but holy hell the NPC pathing is horrible. There were instances where our Pals would run off a cliff and starve or a bat would climb up a tree and get stuck. With a few more patches it might be a lot better to play, the content ATM is leveling and trying to breed really good Pal stats. I think hosting the server on my potato PC might not have been the pro gamer move we though it would.
- Tactical Adventures⭐7/10"Baldur's Gate 3" at home." It's a really well designed D&D 5E combat, it's not just about dealing damage, support spells are really good. COUGH COUGH Haste COUGH Daylight. It's no where near as good of a story or as emissive as BG3, the dialogues really really bad. We have only completed the base game, planning to do some of the DLC later.
- Everything Unlimited Ltd.⭐8/10Really good quick story (1.5 hours long) with an important message. It was really well written and it felt like an actual story, but I think thats where it ends for me. Kinda feels like been cheated out on someones story. Also I think the price might be a bit much.
- Arenanet⭐5/10Casual MMORPG expansion. Alright launch, good story but a lot of the content in locked behind seasonal releases. Looks like a good expansion for new or returning people. Will need to update the score later closer to the end.
- Larian Studios⭐10/10When developers care and they release a game when its ready. Game of the Year material! Must play for anyone who loves D&D and memeing with friends, was rolling on the floor laughing.I have not had bear sex.Yet : nerviousdog:
- Blizzard Entertainment⭐6/10Has potential, but also does not? On the fence about this one. How does everything become locked behind waiting? I expected alot more TBH.
- Blizzard Entertainment⭐5/10Somehow both fun and frustrating at the same time. Only recommend playing with friends. RIP PvE
