A busy week, didn’t get to play anything over the weekdays.
Just played God of War: Ragnarok over the weekend. Some nice story elements.
Plan to play it more over the weekend, not sure how close I am to the end.
If I get time, would like to finish Pikmin 1 over the week.
No plan for anything else, until I finish one of these two.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
It is very grindy indeed. All kinds of different resources to farm for specific items and Frames. It’s awesome that you can be free to play and still have access to basically anything there is to buy - weapons, Frames, cosmetics…
Their vaulting system is very good, especially compared to Destiny 2, which just yeets the stuff you bought from the game files xD
But the fact that you can trade the premium currency with other players is chef’s kiss. I mean technically this mirrors the highly illegal method called “scrip” since you get paid for your hard work in currency only usable within WF. But I think it makes you view spending money on the game more as supporting the devs than in other games.
On the other hand, no other game embodies “the journey is the destination” quite as literally as WF. I only have a few hours in it but my friend with whom I played this game to no end years ago is at over 7000 hours now… And I just can’t hard focus on one game like that.
Agree with your point about buying platinum being more of a token of support for the dev team, I agree. I wonder how well the studio is doing moneywise.
7000h is crazy. I’ve been enjoying my time with the game for sure, but it does get quite repetitive imo. It feels a lot like Diablo 3, in a way, because you don’t really have to think a lot about the individual enemy encounters and the moment-to-moment gameplay but more so about theorycrafting a certain build and building up resources to afford it. It’s still fun for sure, don’t get me wrong, but the gameplay itself is not suuuper engaging, really.
The gameplay can definitely be engaging, but it depends on your build. You can build octavia such that the entire match becomes your own personal rhythm game, or, what I ended up doing and what kinda killed it for me, build one of the frames (was it necro smth, I forgor) such that you only have to stand in the middle of the arena, press 4, and the every enemy on the entire map dies without you having to touch the game.
That sounds both hilarious and horrible at the same time hahaha
But I guess as you alluded to it, the fun probably comes from the frames themselves and less so from the shooting. They’re all very different from one another
Well that and the mod system basically define what type of game you’re playing. But there’s always the infinite treadmill underneath
