It's ridiculous!
I have nothing that interest me in Wow right now, so I've been trying to find a new game that could get my attention at least until Legion gets released. But here's the thing - I can't find anything!
The problem is not that there are no games, the problem is that I just can't seem to find one that have what I'm looking for.
Now, I've been trying quite a few of them. Here's the list of the games I didn't like:
- Tera: Gameplay is clunky at time and there's a lot of farming.
- Aion: Old and Clunky
- Rift: I loved the game when it was released, but I just can't stand underwater content, hence the current expansion is a no-go for me.
- Trove: It was fun a few dozen of hours, but now I'm bored.
- Skyforge: The amount of farming in this game is huge O.O
- Path of Exile: Great idea, I went through the story once, but the end-game doesn't really interest me (same for Diablo)
- The Secret World: The game seemed interesting but I don't like the post-apocalyptic context.
- The Elder Scrolls Online: I like the concept, but I've never really been a fan of the Elder Scrolls (beside Skyrim), so I have a hard time investing myself in the game.
- Everquest 2: I've only tried recently. It seems to have a lot of things I'm looking for, but I can't get past the completely horrible graphics. I'm a 3D Artist and this is... it's too much. I just can't.
- Archeage: It seemed so interesting, but the lack of polish and the weird quest storyline isn't really my cup.
Here's a list of games I liked:
- World of Warcraft: I wouldn't be there if I didn't. The movements are fluids, gameplay is responsive. I loved spending almost 6 months leveling a character to max level when I started at the beginning of Wrath. I also liked the Wintergrap concept and Tol'Barad to a certain extent. I like the dungeons and the battleground, but I hate raiding and arenas.
- Guild Wars 2: Really fluid combat, the game is oriented a lot on exploration (I have World Completion at 100%) and spent several hundreds of hours on my Warrior. The story can be a bit... well, meh at times, but overall it's very good. I didn't do max level dungeons nor fractals as I'm not really interested in that type of content.
- Wildstar: Great combat, great universe. It's just a shame that almost everybody left the game when I was still leveling. I would've probably hit max level had the population been higher. I plan on playing back when the game gets F2P though, but since it's not for anytime soon...
- Destiny: I'm hyped for the Taken King! Once again, I'm more interested in the leveling process than the end-game itself, but I spent a few dozen hours on it.
I know I shouldn't expect any magical game to appear in front of me. But at this point, even if I just spend some time looking at games rather than playing them, I'll be happy.
