Hello gamers! There's alot of exciting things happening in our various virtual realms, change is in the air. It seems that every corner of the gaming world can expect it, some more than others and the threat of empty promises or over hype comes with it.
The following is my recent experience with new game purchases:
Problems with my pc had limited my gaming library considerably, so turning back to my Ps4 while I waited for parts, I bought Farcry Primal, Shadows of Mordor, Resident Evil Origins Collections and Minecraft. The last one, reluctantly as I know how many hours I have poured into Minecraft (No, I don't wanna admit how long exactly lol ).
Primal is a very immersive game, and with a concept so foreign to me, I was entranced. I still haven't beat it. I eventually got a hollow-ish feel in the game, like 'this seems like it should be more' or 'that mechanic should work like this'. Come to find out, like Farcry 3 Dragon Blood, Primal was based on Farcry 4's map. Textures, boundaries, skills and characters were the only changes. Thus, this game, good or not, was mostly made before Primal was even thought up! Needless to say it didn't sit well with me so I put it away for now.
Shadows of Mordor, this was a real gem for me. I love the rich lore in Middle Earth, and was very glad to see a canonical addition to such an intricate story. Plus the game plays like Assassins Creed meets Batman, so that's a bonus. I will do a full review of this one once I beat it.
Resident Evil, Not much to say besides I was let down by the lack of co-op and general lack of change. Still awesome to revisit the first of this series, and the voice acting is no where near as bad!

Now that my pc is running correctly, saving New York has been my main goal, in the Division! This MMO is by far the funnest and prettiest one i have ever found! The detail of the snow as it piles on my afk head while I'm drooling over this actual view of the New York skyline. The violent brightness of a Cleaners flamethrower in the subway as I'm tactically advancing unbeknownst to the enemy. I have found only two things I don't like about this game. First, no trading... Destiny all over again( jk, its a good one too )... Second, I have something called a 'Scarf Slot'...
Whichever your platform for virtual euphoria is, we all have things to look forward to. Of course new titles like Dark Souls 3 are due, but I also mean new hardware and possibly some new functions in the console world. Microsoft claims they are exploring the idea of finally supporting cross platform play, and Playstation is on the brink of adding mods to Fallout 4! We have also been hearing more and more about the various VR creations on the verge of assaulting the gaming universe. So many options, so little time. So why are you still reading? Go! Find your gaming treasures! Just do some research on what your buying, don't blindly buy into hype, and enjoy what you may find.
Happy Gaming
