Our group for the class project, Karth, Clask, and myself, had our kick-off meeting for our group project. This week was AWESOME! Despite only playing three hours on a single night, it was a truly amazing three hours! Multiplayer games are just so much more enjoyable than the typical fair du jour.

This blog has led me to seek answers to questions that have been nagging me for a long time, and I am glad to come to these realizations.

After all, I probably got to where I am in my professional life by doing visa versa! That is, applying the zeal and enthusiasm of my gaming over into my student and work life. I don’t always have to apply the same rigour and standards equally to my gaming life that I apply to my professional life. It’s okay to not enjoy games as much as I used to! It’s okay to go with the flow when it comes to pure entertainment. There are so many corollaries to this revelation. You don’t have to reach the goal, especially if you’re bored! Writing this blog, I have come to realize that this applies equally to games. It’s okay to not waste time with things that aren’t working out the way I planned. I had realized over the past few years that sometimes you just have let go and forgive yourself. I must finish this project that isn’t turning out well. Other areas of my life are affected by this same completionist impetus. Why can’t games always be this good? I look at my game library and the enormous pile of unplayed games and think, “I should play each and every one of them.” That’s the curse of the completionist returning. Unique Serpent Armour – Miniboss reward Gaming ConclusionsĪfter hours of patience, I get a rush of adrenaline that lasts for almost an hour. I’ll be damned if I’m going to throw that effort away. This case was different because I have already invested well over 40 hours into this game. Even this was drastic, because normally if I had to repeat so much gameplay I would just give up thinking that it’s not worth the effort. But this guy I was losing was ME! With my name, and my birthdate! I didn’t want him to die, so I put the game down for the night and came back to an old save the next night. Normally, I wouldn’t have taken such a drastic step backwards. At one point, I had to load my game back over two hours because I had saved myself into a dead-end where I would lose the avatar representation of my real life identity. The first few days of the week were insanely difficult levels which required many hours of tactical deliberation, saving, and loading. I am at the point in XCOM 2: War of the Chosen where I normally either stop playing a game because I haven’t had time to invest in it, or I grind out to the end. The rest of the week was a grind, both at work and at play. We didn’t understand this at first, until we realized the following week that my character profile was gone, literally deleted from the game!!! This game is now one of my all-time favourite party games, and will likely remain so for years to come. If this happens three times successfully, the hero is consumed and lost forever. Normally, when a boss fight happens, the ghost/monster players inhabit different portions of the boss monster and have to work together to defeat the hero. We managed to explore some of the rarer elements of the game. I was always trying to best my brothers, and I am quite vocal when I play games in this kind of environment (all in good fun, even when I’m cursing non-stop). The gameplay really brought out my competitive streak, which I have always believed a result of being the second-youngest of four brothers. This week was a combination of one of my XCOM binge weeks and the week prior, where our project group played Crawl, an excellent local multiplayer experience.
