SWTOR

          Lately I have jumped back into SWTOR. I am playing it F2P. So some limitations are placed on my gameplay. I can't take off my helmet or display titles. But the whole story is available for free. leveling is is all there. Though I am close to level 20 and their is a exp drop off after that level for F2P.
          The story is really well done. The quests are fun and I love the Bioware system for story telling. Bioware games are always my favorite games and it makes sense it is my favorite MMO. I have been having a whole lot of fun. The moral choices are done really well.
       
       Here are the top 5 reasons I love SWTOR:

1. Story! Not just how it is written but the way it is delivered. Every quest resonates and is unique. The main arcs are not only written well but acted and voiced well. You really feel immersed.

2. Setting! Star Wars. Enough said. They really do a good job of putting you in the Star Wars Universe. Also Lightsabers.

3. Community. Some MMO's are quite some are virulent. While others are plain immature. Star Wars community is so far been really helpful and pleasant. 

4. Free! Although a GW2 is the best SWTORs system isn't terrible either. The only things they put behind pay walls are quality of life nuances. Like wearing your helmet or getting sprint. You don't get sprint until level 10 if your F2P.

5. Companions. Having another characterwith an actual storyline associated with them and backstory and fully fleshed out character. Who fights with you or heals you is awesome. Some MMO's can get lonely. When no one is on and people you try to communicate with are ignoring you. even though your companion is a NPC he still takes some of the lonely feeling away. Plus you can do a lot of interesting stuff with them.

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...
