The ASEAN Hive Community Challenge #50's topic this week is really close to my heart because gaming has always been a part of my life. I'm not good at it, but I really enjoy doing so. Now let's answer the question: "What Games Do You Play?"
Wait!
Before that... let me tell you what kinds of games I used to play when I was so much younger.
As someone who grew up with mostly male cousins, it was kind of expected that I'd enjoy whatever games they play as well. I enjoyed playing basketball, cars, toy guns, etc. more than dolls and kitchen sets. I know, this classification for toys based on gender was so common in the past, but I have been going against it ever since. haha
When digital games became a thing, I and my cousins enjoyed playing several games on the Family Computer. I remember we often argue who would play Mario in Super Mario, or who would take player A or player B. Aside from Super Mario, we played Battle City, Contra, Sky Destroyer, and so on.
Then, my aunt who worked abroad that time gave me a Gameboy (the first model) and I remembered playing Super Mario and Tetris.
Then when I was around 5th or 6th grade, a computer shop opened near our house. My older male cousins frequented going there, so I had to convince mama to let me go as well. haha There, I started playing some LAN games like Counter-Strike and Red Alert.
In summer, I go to my grandparents place. Even though my cousins there were mostly girls, I was closest to my older male cousins. We'd also go to computer shops together to play or just stay at home and play TEKKEN on their PlayStation. I miss those days!
In high school, I met this guy. He's my best friend in high school and the thing that made us close friends, aside from Math, was gaming. He once caught me playing a game, which he also played, during computer class. lol We talked about that game and when we were in University, we continued playing online games on PC.
During that time, I was into RAN online, while he was into CABAL online. However, I ended up enjoying CABAL as well especially when he gave me one of his older accounts with many items and characters with higher stats. hahaha
Nowadays, he's still crazy about CABAL and is endlessly convincing me to install CABAL on my PC. Unfortunately, my PC isn't gaming ready... but who knows? When I upgrade it some time in the future, we might play PC online games again. We're actually planning to get new PC someday with the same specs and all, but we need to save for it. My PC is still surviving for now, but there has been issues the past years. xD
SORRY... my intro was so long. haha
Nowadays, I only play mobile games... I've downloaded various games from mobile RPG to rhythm and puzzle games, but after finishing the goals and getting tired of some of them, I uninstalled them. These are what remained in my phone.
I recently uninstalled Diablo Immortal *(after reaching the highest level in the first round because what follows are basically the same, but with stronger version of monsters. It's also taking too much space.
And even though I still have several games on my phone, I usually play a couple of them during my free time. Let me introduce some of my favorite games. :)
PICKA is a Korean otome game. I have completed all possible endings for TDL season one and one ending for Traveling Love. I also played some extra stories for Friends Booth. It's a chat simulation game and depending on your choices, you can reach several possible endings. TDL is still my fave so far, but I'll try to get the other endings for Traveling Love.
This game reminds me so much of Mystic Messenger, which is also a Korean otome game that I got addicted to years ago. In those days, all the games on my phone were otome games. Now, I only have this and Mr. Love, though I rarely play the latter.
There are times when I just want to stimulate my brain a little, so I keep this quiz game on my phone. It's called Quizzland. There are a lot of categories like Science, Geography, Music, History, etc. It also has an explanation for each question and answer, so it's really informative. It also has some mini games like memory games, math games, and so on.
I also play this puzzle game recently. Puzzle games help me sleep. hahaha Anyway, the graphics for this puzzle game is so cute, so I chose this one.
I re-installed this game recently. I used to play it last year, but I stopped for some reasons. However, I downloaded it again last week, so I might play this again. I'm only familiar with the first generation Pokémon, but this game have a lot of Pokémon from the later generations. Guess I'd have to get to know them. :)
Among all the games on my phone, I play this the most. I like MOBA games in general, but Mobile Legends is my fave so far. The previous season ended yesterday, so we're back to EPIC. haha
There are a lot of toxic gamers in this game, but I enjoy playing it, so I just don't mind them. I usually mute the chat to enjoy the game more. haha However, I enjoy this the most when I play with my best friend, high school friends or my cousins.
I'm mostly a Mage/Support user, so if you want, we can play together! <3
There's an MPL (Mobile Legends Professional League) in Southeast Asian countries, and they meet annually for MLBB Southeast Asia Cup or MSC and finally for M World Championships. Though it's called World Championships, the participants are mostly Southeast Asian countries.
And yeah, those are basically what I'm into these days. I sure want to have some gaming consoles, but I'm afraid I'd get addicted to gaming again, so mobile gaming is enough for now. Who knows? I might go back to online PC games once I update my PC... hahaha
Thanks for this topic!!! Until next time... See you around! <3
