Even though all these 3 factors are a part of my goals, they can really wait.
It should be no surprise that I'm a gamer. After all, I wouldn't be here, writing these long blogs, if I wasn't.
I've been gaming for over 2 decades. Yes, ever since I was 4! FOUR!
And that's because my brother introduced me to the likes of DOOM, which then he introduced me to many other games from his collection, in good 'ol home consoles like the Mega Drive(or Genesis, for you american lads), the SNES, the Dreamcast, etc etc. he was a hardcore collector. Was....
...So yeah! I've been gaming for a long time, but I'm not one of those "fanboys" or really those that stick to a certain type of genre, or a certain type of platform.
The only reason i'm gaming more on PC nowadays than on consoles, is because I have too many reasons NOT to afford a PS4 or a Switch, mainly money issues.
The Switch is still on my radar though, but I keep seeing less and less reasons to buy it, unless i could hack it and go nuts with everything.
But what I do like? Weeeell..... you could say I'm almost an "All-Rounder"? Basically I found a game in every single genre to love, but I love quite a lot of games in most genres.
The only exceptions are Horror games, Stealth games, and Simulation games.
I love FPSes(well, duh. DOOM and all?), I love RPGs and many of it's sub-types, I love Racing games, Puzzle games, SHMUPs(especially Bullet Hells), Beat 'Em Ups and Run 'N Guns, some Trading Card games, Survival games, Platformers, Rhythm games, Metroidvanias, some Visual Novels, only to name the majority from my mind, but there's probably more.
...
OH, and Open-World Adventure games as well.
So with that mindset, I can get easily interested on a lot of new games, if they appeal to me. Either through their story writing, their characters, their gameplay formula, pacing, replayability, designs, graphic styles, there's many factors to count on, but at the end of the day, I want to like games that I can enjoy from a lot.
I mean, I buy or download games in order to play them. I have no reason to earn them if they don't interest me.
And there ARE a lot of games that don't interest me on my lovely genres. Tons of generic FPSes are off my radar, multiplayer FPSes especially, and many JRPGs that really feel the same on dimensional levels.
Nowadays I seek unique games, these that have something that I either didn't experience for a long time, something that enhances my overall experience, or gives me a completely new experience.
For example, there's that indie game called Superliminal. It's a puzzle game about perspective, and how you can change the way everything shapes based on your perspective alone. For example, you can pick up a door from far away, but it'll be exactly the size of how it LOOKS from your position.
It was mind-blowing, It served a life lesson, and I wouldn't mind playing it again eventually.
But of course, sometimes I just wanna have stupid fun without taking anything seriously. That's why I keep playing custom maps for DOOM, with gameplay mods as well.
It's endless replayability due to the amount of effort the communities inject their projects with, is what makes me keep going back to DOOM.
But enough about DOOM. Time to play something else!
