Why I like to play games -Dorwulf

Why I like to play games: For fun. For comfort. For immersion. But what has happened to me? Have I lost my touch? I haven't been excited for a game in roughly a year now. Even if I say I am hyped for Star Wars Battlefront, I am still very skeptical about how it will turn out. Games have been coming out "complete" with no real effort put into the game for much replay value.

The same old Multiplayer level unlocks don't cut it for me anymore. The oldest Call of Duty I have played is Call of Duty Black Ops. Singular. I've played Black Ops 2 on my college campus. I haven't personally owned a CoD game in a while. Advanced Warfare is fun for me because of the supply drops. It gives me an incentive to keep playing in hopes of unlocking a better variant of a weapon or make myself look that much better. This is how it is done.

Give me an incentive to keep playing and that incentive will keep bringing me back. Open World RPGs tend to do that with the BUTTLOAD of quests they offer and the rewards offered at the end. Dragon Age Inquisition is a phenomenal game that everyone should definitely play. (You will need to play the previous games to understand what's going on) The Witcher 3 is said to take 200 hours to complete which is mind boggling. I am not sure how they manage to do that, but hopefully it works out. It could be 70% tedious monotony. Who knows?

Fighting games have been getting a bad rep these days with multiple re-releases of the same damn game over and over charging the same price constantly. Mortal Kombat X has DLC characters (Which is so much better than buying an entire new copy) and Dead or Alive 5 Last Round (the 3rd version of this damn game) has a "season pass" That costs a whopping $93!!!! I like my share of fighting games but this is getting kind of crazy..

League of Legends is a good game, don't get me wrong. But I've been playing since Season 2 and the game has drastically changed and for me.. changed for the worse. It isn't fun anymore. It's all about E-sports and following strict roles and guidelines and the jungle is fucked up. (sorry for language) I do not like League of Legends currently.
