5 games people love, but I don’t

Let me start this by saying these series/games are some of the most popular in gaming. They are by most accounts great. I am not denying this. I just don’t like them. Some i just don’t enjoy some I simply don’t even understand. And here we go. Feel free to hate me in the comments.

The picture says World of Warcraft, but basically all MMO’s. I have played a few, WoW, Guild Wars, Neverwinter and a few others. I simply don’t get why people get so obsessed. They get boring and redundant quickly. And I play sim games.

Anything Metal Gear. I want to like these games. I beat 2. Played 3. 5 is free on PlayStation this month, I simply can’t do it. Worse yet I can’t explain why.

This one I won’t even try to say much about. In my retro review I said the original was more fun than I remember and I meant it. Here is that review https://saviorgamingblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/20/metroid-retro-review/

The series to me has never been good. I have played most of the series. I have never enjoyed it. The story, the game play, none of it.

Minecraft. The building game that took the world by storm. My daughter spent hundreds of hours playing it. Still plays it. Thanks to her I have played it tons. I hate this game. I don’t even understand it. You strip mine the world to build stuff for what purpose? I prefer 7 Days to Die.

This one may get me killed by some PlayStation fans. But I will say it. God of War is way over rated. Its a decent story with a button masher attached to it. That is it. Take away the threesum mini game and even the edginess is gone. I have never and will never understand it.

That’s it, my five games people love and I do not. Anything you guys would add? Let me know and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Professor Marston And The Wonder Woman

Three’s a party. Professor William Marston (Luke Evans) and his wife, Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall), live a relatively happy and carefree life together. He’s a professor at Harvard and she desperately wants to be, but because this is the 1920’s and she’s a woman, for some reason, that’s not allowed to happen. Anyway, the two have […]

Cat People (1942)

Cat People has one of those sensationalized B-picture premises and there are moments when its meager aspects let slip that this is a low-budget effort, but within those restrictions, it moves with a certain purpose and chilliness. It’s true that producer Val Lewton had a B-movie renaissance going on at RKO Studios and Cat People […]

Love This Guys Stuff

Comic Book Resources or CBR.com had a great write up about the novelization of the film, The Return of Swamp Thing. Here is an excerpt from the author, Peter David, talking about the challenges of writing a novelization of a movie that they knew was dead in the water before it was even released. via CBR.com: And […]

Godzilla against Mechagodzilla (2002)

This is the 3rd time Godzilla has faced off against his mechanical foe, but this time is slightly different. As a little back story the original iteration was built by aliens to make it easy. This time around however the story has changed.

In the 2002 version This is an entirely different Godzilla than originally attacked Japan. Japan now in an effort to fight back has recovered the bones of the original and is using the DNA to build Mechagodzilla.

The story itself isn’t bad and the battle is fierce and like many of the previous Godzilla movies there is no clear cut winner. The thing I enjoy about these later movies is the stories are much more detailed and in depth than simply two monsters fighting each other which is nice and worth checking out. Definitely check it out, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
