Funcom have a habit of having good ideas and not following through on them. The Secret World is the first time I encountered them. And to be fair the game has a story that I find really intriguing. It is a shame such a fun story is locked behind an mmo when as a single player experience it could be so, so much more.
Why? Why!? I am old and grumpy. Cosmetics are things you earn through game progression. Not locked behind pay walls. Oh It’S oNLy CoSmETicS BrO. Fuck you. Fuck this attitude. Fuck the never ending agreed. Fuck natural game progression. Everything is a locked behind pay walls nowadays cause of this oh its only CoSmETicS bro attitude.
Finally finished Halo 2 and it was a slog. Now on to Halo 3 and straight away more fun, better movement and better gunplay than halo 2.
Finished Zero Entropy 2 and wow. Its canon in my mind. Feels like Half Life 2 Opposing Forces Episode 2 if valve had shown us the combine side. Now will 3 come? 3 is cursed so I just putting it to one side.
Finished Pony Island. Weird game. Not too sure what was going on but ok. Its off the list now.
And heroes of the storm ofc. Started storm League with a friend and we are having a blast together. Aram when I am solo.
Still Heroes of the storm every day. And going through the master chief collection. Enjoyed Halo Reach. Halo Combat Evolved was fun game play with a well paced story. Halo 2 is just a slog. Such long levels. Much of it just the same section repeated because padding. Story all over the place and jumping around between characters so no real sense of cohesion. Just need to slog through it so I can start on Halo 3. Oh. I have never played Halo before so this is all new to me.
Finally gonna play the first 3 games of The Longest journey and Dreamfall. I am convinced Funcom are great story tellers but awful mmo creators. See Anarchy Online, The Secret World, Conan Exiles. Great story telling. Terrible mmos.
