Still haven’t found a game to hold my attention in recent weeks and now, seemingly, months it feels like.
I have a lot of quick games I play. Little things that I can spend however much time I want with them and back out whenever. But nothing on a story driven basis or anything like that to really keep me coming back and advancing.
Avowed was on a really good path at doing that for me but it was just so big. Eventually the size of that game and my need to explore everything I could in every map just broke me down to a gaming exhaustion.
So I’m looking for something to hold me but not something to engulf me, you know? The Battlefield 6 beta looked kind of fun while watching streams but I don’t know how well I work with mouse/keyboard controls just yet. Typing this is better than it used to be but I’m still mistyping keys on the regular here while I do this. Although…Avowed would be a good way to test out how that’s working for me since that was the game I was playing when it started to become an issue.
What I don’t want is another live service game to get into and what’s strange is that WB Games, after failing spectacularly with it a year ago, seems to want to give me just that. I mean, there could be a way to make that work, but it was a pretty big fail for them and it’s just strange how they want to try again so soon. Even with the same intellectual property.
At this point, I might actually take a live service Splinter Cell, if that’s the only way I could get one. Ubisoft, it has been 4,374 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released.
Also, there’s been 3,563 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2025.
