I've never heard of this before, but I recently started playing a computer game about Vampires. It's just sort of meh, but I didn't spend much on it, so that is good. The current book I am reading you would absolutely hate. I about fell off the couch when I realized the first chapter was something like 60 pages long. I'm finally into the second chapter and I don't think it is any shorter! Crichton always did a good job of making stuff seem more believable by tying it to science.
Is the game you are playing called "V" or something like that where you run around and build a castle and make weapons and hunt certain mythical creatures over and over? If so, a friend of mine recommended that to me and I didn't stay interested for very long because of the really repetitive nature of it and I found myself just standing in the shade and cutting down trees for an hour and trying to figure out how the hell I am supposed to build the next thing that I am required to build in order to advance. Then of course getting the absolutely shit knocked out of me when I would fight most things didn't help.
Yeah, that is the game. Someone here on HIVE recommended it to me. I am starting to get the hang of it a bit more, but I have a feeling I can see myself losing interest. I just didn't want to start playing Diablo IV again until the new season starts next week and Path of Exile 2 is kind of boring now that I have sort of maxed my character for this season.
I'm not really hugely into gaming and am probably very unskilled. I did try my hand at Diablo 3 I think it was but I would either get my ass handed to me on a higher difficulty or have it set on so easy that there was zero skill involved in what I was doing. From the little I recall about V (was it V Rising) I got very frustrated at the castle building sections to the point where I didn't want to do it anymore. Games might just be too complicated for my little pea brain these days.
I'd probably play more games than I do if it wasn't for my wife. I tend to get overly absorbed. I've thought about getting a Switch from time to time, but I think it would be a bad idea. Yeah, it was V Rising. I think the thing that bugs me the most about it is that you can't progress unless you finish certain quests. It would be cooler if you could discover ahead a little bit instead of being locked into a overly defined progression.
