I'm going to start off by apologizing for not posting since I've started. However I did state at the beginning my probability of actually posting. But lets put that behind us and get on with this.
This summer I have given second chances to a few list of games. Games of which I own but don't particularly play much anymore. Games by which I have bought and didn't really care for them when I bought them. Now I don't like to waste money as much as the next guy. So I kept the games. Quite frankly I'm glad I did. Here's why. Despite not playing the games for however long. I have recently started playing them again. By playing them again I have found a new place for them in my favorites. I'll start with the first game.
Team Fortress 2
Don't get me wrong I have always enjoyed TF2. I mostly enjoyed it on the Orange Box for Xbox 360. But as I went to college and had less time to spend on online console games. I eventually dropped Xbox Live Gold. That is a different story. Because the version of the game I'm talking about is the PC version. I first got TF2 for the PC because of the different updates that were not included in the Xbox version. I was rather upset to hear that Microsoft wasn't allowing Valve to release the updates to the Xbox for free. So I defected. TF2 was the first Steam game bought on my current steam account. I was so excited when I bought it. After the ungodly long download/update time that has become a reoccurring thing with steam games. I was finally ready to play TF2. I booted up the game and got ready for some exciting 2Fort, my favorite map, action. But to my uneducated console gaming mind. The setup for a PC game is quite different than that of a consoles. Instead of just joining a random game or a friends game. I had to scroll through hundreds of different servers. Most of which were full or on an unfamiliar map. I was confused by this great difference between PC and Console. I quit playing TF2. I occasionally would try and play it on and off throughout the year. But was greeted by the same confused feelings toward the game. It wasn't until after the Uber Update and the "Meet the Medic" video. Which announced that TF2 was "Free to Play Forever" I decided to give it another shot. This time I was hooked. I have racked up over 38 hours in the past 2 weeks. I really enjoyed this game. I am also glad I decided to give a chance again. Now that Team Fortress 2 is free to play I recommend this game to everyone over 17.
Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale
Considering I bought this game at the begging of the summer. I'm not quite sure it was given a second chance. When I first played the game, which boasted "Select your class and build your ultimate hero." I was disappointed. There are four classes to chose from. Fighter, Wizard, Rouge, and Cleric. On top of only having four classes. You can't really choose your race. Each class is represented by a race. There's the Human Fighter, the Elven Rouge, the Halfling Wizard, and Dwarf Cleric. I was turned away from the game by this. But I didn't stop playing until after I discovered that "Rolling up your character" meant that the characters stats where already predetermined for you. I turned off the game and hadn't started it again until a few days ago. This time I decided to pick a class that would be easy to play, the human fighter. I picked my feats and was ready to go. I immediately noticed how fun it was to just break every barrel you see. Most barrels contained Gold which in return bought cool weapons. After I had accumulated enough precious gifts from barrels, I bought better armor. But when I did the rendering on my character went away. He basically looked like a blue blob with weapons. This game isn't perfect and it does take getting used to. Even though I gave a second chance and was able to enjoy the gameplay. I would not recommend this game to anyone else. This game is bad.
These are just the most recent examples of games I have been playing lately. I also got a hold of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. Which is just as good if not better than the original. I would like to thank you for reading. I hope you have enjoyed my posts. I probably wont post anymore this summer unless really compelled to.
Just in case anyone was curious. This is what I have been listening to lately:
I suggest checking them out
