Distractions and progress


     No, I haven't checked out again, I've just been distracted by other games.  A few months back I had gotten my hands on The Last of Us Remastered for the PS4, and could not put it down.  I don't own a PS3, so this was the first I had ever played this one.  I always heard about it being one of the best games of the previous console generation.

Also one of the better looking games from last generation.

     Like I said, I could not put it down.  The story, characters, and game mechanics were well done, so it was fun as opposed to frustrating all the way through.
      There were a few things that puzzled me.  For example, why is it that I could not pick up the guns of every assailant that was armed?  You could see the gun one the floor, right there, but I could not pick it up?  I realize that they wanted to add to the tension of the game by having ammunition limited, but if someone is shooting at you, it traditionally means they have bullets.



     I've also been distracted with Final Fantasy XIV, and, in the last week, Destiny.  Both are MMO games, and both are quite addicting.  Well, Destiny is getting old fast, but I'm still giving it the benefit of the doubt.  FF XIV, on the other hand, is a pretty awesome game.  I used to be a big fan of World of Warcraft, and in my eyes this game is just like it, but with several improvements.


     From the graphics, to the world, to how classes are handled,  it's just a welcome alternative to WoW.


     In other news, I have decided to go ahead and get moving on building a new PC so that I'll be able to play and take screenshots of PS2, Wii, and Gamecube titles in addition to the ones a already currently have access to.  This will only leave out the Xbox, and Xbox 360 as systems I really can't take screenshots of.  It'll take some time, but I'm getting there.
