Diablo 3!

  What a failure. To see game like Path of Exile do exactly what I wanted and so many others wanted makes me ask why couldn't Blizzard. Diablo 2 was a game I grew up on. I remember being 13 and logging on and my cousin logging on and us playing through entire acts in single sittings. It was fun and addictive with the right amount of balances in all aspects. Look, skills, sets, action is was all great. Going in everyone knew where 3 had to go what it had to do and what it needed to improve on. It failed in every way for most people. With all that said blizzard made a great great move. Going console and not just console but single screen multiplayer. My wife doesn't have the Diablo 2 bias of what a good action/rpg should be.  She loves Diablo 3. Bringing it to the console makes it so much more accessible to us. It takes a game that we haven't played since month one (mostly because of me) and actually makes us excited again. Now it isn't that deep dungeon crawler we were hoping it would be. Now it is the casual action game we can easily play with friends like Baldurs Gate and Champions of Norrath. It really was a great move. Now my wife can go back to gleefully cheering when a baddie dies in an explosion of gore.

Elder Scrolls Online!

   Lately I have been playing ESO on PS4. I have to say it has been a great experience. It is every bit as good as past Elder Scrolls games. So well written and beautifully crafted. The quests are full of story and life and lead you expertly across the land. The many different stories are not only written well but voice acted amazingly. Best voice acting in a open world RPG I have every played. I am having a ton of fun.     I even stuck my feet into the PVP. Even helped take a keep. But for the most part since I didn't have a group to run with and I didn't have a mount yet I found PVP to not be as rewarding as questing. I will try again though this time with a mount  and some friends if i can find a good pvp guild.     I also the other night did my first dungeon. I am a sorcerer and flip between destruction staff and restoration staff skills. So I was the healer for the dungeon. For sure not as easy to heal as any other MMO. Directional AOE h...

It is ok to hate a Game!

                These days ever game franchise and developer and publisher have their faults. Some have many. EA has a lot and Bioware has really squandered some good opportunities like SWTOR. Their are a lot of things about Bioware game that a lot of people don't like. It looks like EA is going to do everything it can to continue its aggressive DLC policy.       With all that said it is important to look past all the BS. Look at what is put on the shelf and ask yourself is this game worth the price. Will I enjoy this and will it make me happy. Even with all the things I don't like about this game or this company will I still enjoy this? Don't listen to the hype or the haters. Just ask yourself what your opinion is on this game.      For me at this point Bioware games (including SWTOR) have hit every sweet spot in what I am looking for. I know without even looking at ...

Game Reviews!?! Worth reading?

             It should be pretty apparent at this point that by and large Mass Media Reviewers/Critics have huge problems. The problems are varied. They are paid to lie, they have a vendetta going into their review, they feel they can drive more traffic to their review if they nitpick the negatives and probably the biggest but least talked about is the reviewer either hates or doesn't understand the genre he is reviewing.                  Big Triple A official or professional reviews cannot be trusted. To often it becomes apparent that the reviewer is basically blowing smoke at us for the sake of keeping friendly with the games publishing company. Sometimes they are just outright paid for fluff pieces (allegedly). If the reviewer is mid to low range in popularity he/she is probably not going to bite the hand that feeds them. EA and other companies have shown thy will blacklist certain reviewers from review c...
