But I liked it a lot and now I can try the newest iteration.īut perhaps the game I’ve played most since getting the XBox One is Doublefine’s  Massive Chalice. I wasn’t sure about this one the Arkham series seems to be a case of diminishing returns, with the original Arkham Asylum still by far my favourite of the series.
Still, the story is pretty good, so I think I’ll finish it too. In New Vegas, it feels like all my options are just about new ways to kill people. In Fallout 3 I could avoid the combat perks and focussed as much as possible on the ones that offered new dialogue and interaction options, or aided in exploration. After picking up from where I left off (at around level 14, and approximately halfway through the main storyline I think?) I realised one of my frustrations with the game: I didn’t want any of the perks. I got a bit distracted by the settlement building and crafting, derailing both the main quest (which should feel much more urgent than it does) and my usual excitement of exploring a game with such a big world. It also reminded me that I never finished Fallout: New Vegas, though since it’s one of the growing number of backwards compatible titles I have installed it to continue on after a dear friend told me they liked it better than 3. I really loved Fallout 3, and spent a lot of time on six years ago so far 4 doesn’t quite feel like it has the same magic, but it has lots going for it. The other game I bought with the console was Fallout 4.
I like the individual character selections, rather than having faceless classes, and so far my faves are Hanzo, Ana (who I didn’t realise was the first post-release character she’s great!) and Winston, but I’m planning to try everyone. Overwatch got my attention and I have friends with whom I’d like to play, so I’m starting to get into it and learn how it all works. But while I played a bit of Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, really I mostly used it to play X-Wing and especially TIE Fighter. Getting back in that cockpit and shooting at X-Wings (or from an A-Wing) has been great fun – and I’m way better at it than I am at running around on the ground with a blaster rifle (though playing co-op with friends is good fun). At school I loved combat flight-sims I bought a secondhand Flightstick Pro from a kid at school. I’m still not a great fan of online military FPS, but I have really started to love the starfighter battles. I’d played some local co-op with one of my best friends and his enthusiasm for how well it throws you into various Star Wars scenarios was pretty infectious, I have to admit. The first was one of two games I bought with the console: Star Wars Battlefront.
I’ve only bought a few games for it so far, and to my surprise two are online shooters – not the kind of thing I’ve ever enjoyed before. I spend a lot of time around games, but I seldom get to play them - except for ones I have installed on my phone. (On that score I’ve enjoyed The Guild of Dungeoneering, Futurama: Game of Drones and I still really dig Imbroglio.) Recently though I saved up and bought myself an XBox One, and I’ve tried to make some time to enjoy it.
