Bye Madden Hello Minecraft.

        So it has been a struggle for me to find good PS4 games. I am a pretty picky gamer to start with and on top of that I have many obligations that take me away from gaming these days. So Madden had been my kind of safe game for the next gen. Whenever I beat or got bored with a game I just went  back to madden. Recently however I have been more aware of my moods. I realized that more often than not Madden mas making me angry. Being competitive meant I was taking losses and poor game design from madden a little to serious. I came to the realization that Madden is one of the few games to do this to me League of Legends being the other. It really had always done this. The highs and happiness I felt when I succeeded was outweighed by the frustration and stress from when I lost. I had already quit League of Legends since it was making me really angry all the time even in most wins.
      So I did the unthinkable. For the first time in 15 years I am without a Football game. I traded it in. I got some playstation store money and bought Minecraft. What a great choice. The biggest reason is Minecraft is soooooooo chill. It is beyond relaxing. I am not a very creative person but I do feel a sense of accomplishment akin to scoring touchdowns in madden when I create even the simple things in Minecraft. One of the best gaming choices I have made in a long time.

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...
