I remember early on, there was an Auction House, where you can buy and sell gear and other items you've found in the game, in exchange for gold. This was because the game depended on online servers to manage progress in the game.Įventually, the errors cleared up, and I was able to enjoy the game. I remember the launch day was plagued with error messages when trying to start the game. Or, I suppose it would be more apt to say "tried to play" on launch day. I actually remember pre-ordering the game, and playing on launch-day. I've been spending a lot of time playing the game over the last few months, so I felt it was appropriate to celebrate the 6-year anniversary by sharing some quick thoughts on it. Ultimate or Katamari Damacy ReRoll, which come out tomorrow.Įither way, easy to say that 2018 has been pretty good for games. So yeah, just a small sample of the games I played this year. I do plan to get back into it once the holidays die down a bit. I still want to mention Dragon Quest XI, because that game is quite wonderful, but got buried by life and some other games. This will be a game we'll be playing for a long time to come. I love how you can drop in at any time and help someone with their quest, and the game doesn't make you feel stupid for not having caught up to wherever they are yet. I've been having a blast playing Fallout 76 with some friends. I should probably have been taking notes on actual paper like people suggested. However, I feel like I may be missing a sense of observation that is making the 2nd half of the game super difficult for me to figure out some of the remaining cause of deaths. It's enjoyable to explore the ship and see all the details everywhere.
I was excited for Return of the Obra Dinn to come out. There's a lot here to satisfy your Pokemon itch. Coupled with some new mechanics, it really becomes satisfying. It has a nostalgic factor from the first-gen Pokemon games, but with modern graphics and adjustments. Speaking of games taking over one's life. Over 50 hours trying to solve all the puzzles it has to offer. Simple as that.ĮXAPUNKS took over my life for a while. So now I've got Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami (Yakuza 1) that are on my (rather large, to be honest) list of games I consider to be "in the middle of".īudget Cuts remains one of the best examples of a must-have game when showing off VR. But finally decided to give it a try, and I loved it. I had heard of the Yakuza games, but I guess I just never paid attention to it. Yakuza 6 was probably the biggest surprise to me. Playing the whole game with a friend, is bound to leave you with memorable feelings that will last for a long time to come.
I'd like to take some time to talk about a few of them, what I liked and didn't like.įirst, A Way Out is probably the biggest example of the feeling "Wait, that was just earlier this year?"
Here's a short list, in rough release order: Looking back at the list of the many games that I've played in 2018, there's stuff from the beginning of the year that makes me think "Woah, that actually was just from this year?" But then again, every year seems to be a bigger year for games than the last one.
