Console Gamer - Have I Been Converted?

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

The answer is still... No.

I've been extremely bored the past week. The lack of having anything to do was really catching up to me, and I was having a lot of anxiety. It was to the point where I didn't even feel in the mood to draw anything today.

When @thecastle went shopping for his new phone number today, I veered off into a Gamestop. I was quickly greeted, and had to admit that I was looking for XBox 360 games. That was the only console in the house, but I didn't care if it was "outdated" at this point. The employee directed me to some cheap-as-fk games for the 360. I had told @thecastle earlier "I bet XBox 360 games are like $5 now..." Guess what? I was right.

I had no idea where to start.

Everything the employee dude was recommending, I had already played on PC, or had no interest in. Sorry, but I'm not into sports games. He was kind of surprised at how much of a hardcore gamer I was. I was like "have you heard of Counter-Strike?" The guy looked at me like I was speaking another language. I did end up buying one of his recommendations though.

Dragon Age.

I've seen it played, but never thought I'd be into it. Boy is it story-driven so far. I've only gotten past the beginning, but I'll stick with it a bit longer and see how interesting it gets. I ended up with Origins, and I was like "why does this game look like shit?" I looked it up "Oh, because it's from 2009" So, I made a dumb, and bought the old one...

However, the second game I got, Saint Row IV is fucking amusing as Hell. I'm going to put some hours into this game. I believe it was Saints Row 3 that I played last, that let you beat people up with a purple didlo? I love the edgy personality of this franchise.

Saints Row 3 was fun, but holy shit, you can run at super speeds and jump super high like a super hero (villain?) in the first part of the fourth one? I was drinking rum, and giggling like a schoolgirl as a jumped from building to building and ran cars off the road with my super speed.

You know what? My night wasn't boring. I felt super amused by the console games. But you know what else...?

The graphics still suck.

Oh... and aiming. I will never enjoy a first person shooter on console.
I'll be glad to have my PC back.

I really hope you give Dragon Age a chance, ya it looks like crap now and the mechanics are a little clunky compared to today's standards but the story lines and how your decisions influence the world is pretty awesome and the characters are great too. Dragon Age 2 went linear and wasn't all that great and Inquisition is still like 30 bucks but hope you enjoy it!

I definitely plan on playing more of it, and the storyline kept me pretty interested, enough that I want to know more. :]

@zombiedoll I've recognized that when it appears to be like terrible, just stepping absent for your moment would make all the primary difference on the earth.

Fabulous one!!!

Graphics aside (bleh) there are some games that just feel better with a controller. Plus couch co-op is something that seems to be going the way of the dinosaurs. I feel like I got a lot more mileage out of the PS3 than the 360, but there were solid games for both. I hope the wait is infinitely shorter this time for you to get your PC back.
