Guild wars 2. I’ve been following the franchise since it started so it’s near and dear to my heart. I haven’t been real happy with where they’ve taken it over the past few years though and it’s frustrating to see.

Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom.

I love Zelda I always have. The first game I ever played was the original Zelda on the NES and I was hooked ever since. I’ve even played most of the games and really enjoyed all of them.

But there’s one glaring issue that I have with botw/totk. The weapon/armor system. I hate games with weapon/armor degradation and Zelda’s system is even worse than normal.

They went from weapons never breaking or taking damage at all, to shields taking damage but get the Hylian shield and it’s unbreakable, to every single weapon and shield breaks after a pathetic amount of uses.

I would’ve even been fine with an Oblivion style degradation system where the weapon does less damage the more damaged it is but can be repaired with the right tool or by going to a blacksmith.

It’s even worse when you notice that higher tier weapons break faster than lower tier ones, or that enemies can use weapons forever, yet the chosen fuckin hero only gets about 15 whacks before a solid piece of wood/metal just fuckin explodes.

Me playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth as a huge fan of the OG.

For me it’s cod. I know I’ve played too much of this franchise and it’s getting to the point where I don’t love or hate all of these games as a whole it’s turning into indifference which is a corporation’s worst enemy. Can’t make money if they can’t even turn my very low standards into interest.

Satisfactory. I love this game. I hate the fact that it chews up so much game time. This blows CIV games out of the water for the “one more turn” effect for me.

But I was cruising the other place one day, and saw a user with the flair “it’s not a game, it’s a hobby”. And that changed a lot of my attitude towards this game. Now I treat it like an overly complex model train builder.

Waking up each morning? 😀
