I felt like going back to swtor. My main account was disabled, expired or something and I can't recover it without calling some dumb schmucks working for EA support.
Went in on a secondary account I used to bypass the character restrictions and now I'm scratching the itch until it finally dies for good.
It has a daily login reward, some kind of battle pass, everything is paywalled, limited number of rewards, they changed character creation and unified classes, but pvp is active.
I got a free fighting game on epic. Dnf Duels or something. One of the tutorials had a combination to block or counterattack, can't remember, and I tried every which way I could think of yet nothing worked.
So finally, I got out of the game and uninstalled it.
The big moment was figuring out it's not my job to find a way of fixing some company's dumbass decisions. That it's ok to say "this shit ain't worth the hassle".
I played it back when it launched and the first bit doesn't/didn't give you the inkling of what's to come.
It eases you in so by the time the game shows its true ugly self, you're already too deep.
But yeah, I too became bored fast. It's just mleh.
Galactic Civilizations III. I'm about 10 turns away from filling up the Ascension Crystals with a custom civilization focused on research.
The research tree seems endless with many 1-turn tech still left to unlock and I have no idea what to focus on in order to build the Ascension Portal/Gate thing.
But I unlocked the Huge design for ships, so I'm going to try and make one before the time is up.
I spent around 8 hours total on this match, most of it Sunday. I'll probably finish it tomorrow if I have time to play.
The 30th century thing of rebuilding a fallen Federation was a somewhat interesting prospect, but I think they chose the wrong angle of going at it. But I don't know what I would have done differently, because I'm not a good enough writer to have a decent opinion on it.
I saw some Avatar gameplay recently. There was a portion of aerial flight where you can enjoy the view of a naked ass in hi-def. I'm guessing they chose to play a female Pandorian for the same reason most players choose a female character in video games, (naked) male asses are a niche market for gameplay purposes.
