Random Gaming Thoughts

[Ack]

I'm not planning to get Overwatch, at least not yet. I detest non-MMO multiplayer only games, and while I don't doubt Blizzard's abilities, I see little about that games that I think I'd enjoy enough to warrant a full price game.

That's too bad. You really should learn the joy of gibbing some dude for looking at you sideways in an FPS.

before Hearthstone I didn't think I'd get hooked on an online competitive card game. I had no prior interest in MTG/etc. Spent many, many hours on Hearthstone, though.

The idea of a MOBA always sounded awful to me. I've now played 300+ rounds of Heroes Of The Storm. I have no intention of slowing down my pace either.

At this point I just trust that what Blizzard makes is fun games. Genre doesn't even matter.

EDIT: As an aside, I find that I'm often interested in genres outside of my comfort zone as long as it sounds like it's going to be a solid experience. I had no interest in city-building, but found the praise for Cities Skylines hard to ignore. I ended up adoring that game. I have my eye on Stardew Valley right now for similar reasons, having never played a Harvest Moon or whatever.

I mean actually my Top 10 list from last year illustrates this pretty well I think:

1. Heroes Of The Storm - MOBA
2. Pillars Of Eternity - RPG
3. Hearthstone (mobile) - CCG
4. Cities Skylines - sim
5. Her Story - FMV!
6. Undertale - RPG
7. Pokemon Shuffle - puzzle
8. GTA V - open world whatever
9. Resident Evil Revelations 2 - survival horror
10. Life Is Strange - adventure

The only genre that repeated is RPG, but Pillars and Undertale are very very different styles of RPG.

Unreal Tournament, brah. That's my FPS of choice.

I'll probably pick up Overwatch on a sale or something, but I just don't think it's worth $60 for me.

99 or 2k4? 99 is probably a better game, but I could happily play 2k4 with a random map generator for the rest of time.

2k3 gave me Bombing Run, which was perfected in 2k4, even if it was overshadowed by Onslaught.

Then you know the joy of a well done telefrag.

2k4 was my first UT game, so it's always going to be my favorite for nostalgia if nothing else, but I love all of them. UT3 is probably my least favorite, though. I've got the whole series on Steam, though, as well as UT3 on PS3; UT on Dreamcast and PS2; and Unreal 2, UC, and UC2 on Xbox.

UC2 on Xbox.

Such an underated game. Part UT2k3, part 3rd person arena hack and slash.

Erik, brother, I would love to be happy for you but... what am I looking at?

(Other than that TV. I know what that is.)
