So I dug through my PS3 collection over the weekend looking for something to play. I had purchased, but not yet played, Borderlands. I recall it being popular and well reviewed, so I started playing.
I hate this fucking game.
Not gonna get into a review here, let's just say I'm never playing it again. So I went and searched for reviews to try and find out why it was so popular. All the reviews said the same thing. "Not for everyone. This is a 'loot collecting' game that's only fun if you play online"
What the fuck is a "loot collecting game"?
I know what all those words mean, but I can't see how a literal interpretation of that phrase could be anything resembling fun. I guess I'm old fashioned, but video games should be about saving the world. Who the hell gets excited about opening a box and finding a BX9C Repeater Pistol to replace your QR-72 Revolver? Sure, stat boosts are cool for about five seconds. But all they do is help you slog through a whole bunch of boring shit a little bit faster.
Is that what video games are about these days? Are they intentionally shitty? Do they do that so they can reward your play by making the game end sooner?
I'm right on the verge of buying a PS4. I have my eye on a few titles but I would like to know what I'm getting into.
I prefer single player games where I save the world. I realize I can't resist playing online games forever, so I'm willing to dabble. But I'm not paying extra for money for shit after I've already bought the game. And I don't wanna get my ass handed to me all the time either.
Here are some games I'm considering. Will I hate any of these?
Overwatch
Final Fantasy 15
The Last of Us
BloodBorne
Witcher 3
Destiny 2
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Metal Gear
And I'll probably try and catch up on any God of War, resident Evil, and Uncharted games that I've missed
What else should be on that list?
