Confessions of a gamer

Do you ever feel like you're one of the few people who actually doesn't like something and other people think you're weird because you don't like that? The fact is that you're not the only one, there are a lot of people who don't like certain things but it's usually the people that do like something that are the loudest. The same could be said vice versa, when you really like something and all you see and hear are people being negative about what you like. I guess some people are just louder than others but never let that give you the impression that you're the only one that feels that way. It's ok to feel different about something? Some people like to be a sheep, to follow others in what they do or how they feel about something. I know that's a safe choice and you can pretty much walk along with the other sheep and be a bunch of sheep together. But honestly do you really want to be a sheep? There is nothing wrong with liking something that a...

I like big open world games where you can dive into and return to the social world weeks later. It's one of the many reasons why I like games like Skyrim and Dragon Age: Inquisition. But I have to admit that with KC:D I'm a bit reluctant to buy it because the game looks good but I've heard some bad things about the game and going from a fantasy RPG to a simulation RPG is something I'm not so certain about. So let's try to look at some of the things this game has to offer and hopefully it sheds some more light on this game and if you would be interested in buying it. The most accurate RPG? A lot of RPGs are fun and usually fantasy plays a big role in that, but KC:D doesn't have any fantasy elements, it's a lot more like a simulation RPG and that means that there is going to be moments where you'll hate the game or might get bored. For example trying to pick a lock is often not a big deal in a game, in KC:D you actually have to do your best to pick tha...

When I first played Friday the 13th, I say played but it actually took two weeks until I could finally play it because quickplay didn't work for me, it was a big disappointment for me. The game just didn't turn out as fun as I hoped it would be and I think up to this day the game is mostly enjoyable with a group of friends. When you play the game with strangers it's just by far not as much fun. But a single player mode is coming and that means that the unlucky players that are doomed to join solo queue can still get their fun playing as Jason and kill some counselors. Now that does look like fun! Finally the game will be fun for everyone? I can't speak for everyone else but I can definitely see a liking to this single player mode. Now you can play as Jason without having to deal with trolls or other annoying people trying to make your life miserable or people teaming up with Jason just to screw the other players over. In single player mode you have to kill the couns...

We all change, no one stays the same. No matter how hard you try to hold on to the person you once were or you are now you will change. Of course that doesn't mean you have to become completely different but often through experiences in your life you change. Sometimes for good and sometimes for bad, I guess it really depends on the person and what exactly happens in his or her life. But it remains a fact that we all change, literally every cell in our body changes and we're physically no longer the same person we were as a baby. Is that a bad thing? Well no, but I understand that some people are against change and prefer to keep things as they were. It probably doesn't surprise you that some of these people are gamers and they don't like to see that change as well because they prefer to keep things the way they are. Change isn't such a bad thing? I used to hate change, I would cling on to people and things in my life and I wanted things to stay the same. But it...

Have you ever had an outfit for your character in a game that you liked so much that you kept it on eventhough you had better outfit but that you didn't like that much? Then you're probably just like me when it comes to these kind of games that give outfits certain stats and you just don't care about those. Even in a first person type of game I would still want my character to look good, who cares that the ugly armor gives me higher stats! I want to look good! Because looking good often relates to feeling good, at least I want to believe that's true. Why would you wear an outfit with lower stats? It's easy to keep swapping outfits just for the stats, I know I do this in games like Diablo 3 and I also did that in the legendary adventures of Van Helsing III but I'm never really happy about it. Sometimes you get this ugly piece of clothing that just looks stupid. For example a hat that ruins the whole outfit but if you can't hide headwear that means you hav...

I honestly hate the stamina bar, it somehow always screws you over and you never seem to have enough. Are you in a hurry? Sorry it's recharging! Do you need to use a power attack? Sorry it's not full enough! Trying to dodge an attack? Sorry you're out of stamina and now you stand still like a jackass and you're easily hit multiple times! Yeah the stamina bar, fuck that annoying piece of crap in every game! Why do you have a stamina bar in certain games? That's a good question and I always thought that it was some lame way for developers to slow the player down. If you would have infinite sprint you would be able to get from one point to the other way too fast and that would mean you're done faster with the game. You would probably also miss out on side quests or other things that happen in the game because you can rush forward constantly. I guess in those situations it makes sense, you don't want the player to rush too quickly because then you would miss...
