Patreon Q&A #8

Rune Fugleberg Asks
If you've played it, what are your thoughts on the latest God of War? I'm personally of the opinion that while it's story and presentation is top notch, it's actual gameplay is too linear and restrictive. 

Sounds like a big-budget Sony game. Haven't played it yet, but while that style of game might not be to everybody's taste, I enjoyed things like The Last of Us, Uncharted, and Killzone. So God of War will probably earn a recommendation from me, albeit, not an extremely high one. None of the games I listed are all that amazing to me. Just extremely refined experiences that are hard to fault technically.

What is your least favorite game of all time and why?

Least favorite? I take that to mean a game that is still one I enjoy though? If so, I'm actually not going to answer that right now, due to having a video which very much tackles this subject.

What has been the best use of Microtransactions?

Oooo, good question! Hmm... Part of me wants to say Titanfall 2, but honestly, I still think they're too expensive for what they are. I'm sorry, but I just don't hold Skins in the value of double digits. So with that, I'll probably say the Premium Skins of Rocket League. They weren't double digits, sometimes included multiple cars, and even had cute little bonuses like Wheels, Decals, and Sprays.

However, don't take this to mean that Psyonix are without fault. Not only did they use Lootboxes for years, most recently, their store has made these DLC packs impossible to buy for the same price, and locked em into Blueprints.

Which is a shame, because at one point, Rocket League was a shining example of how to do post-launch Microtransactions, and I bought the Hot Wheels & Fate of the Furious pack as a result without regret.

Now, you can't even get the skins I have, not for a reasonable price or time at least.

What was the farthest you've been into a game (hours of game played) when you gave up on the whole thing? Why did you give up? 

Skyrim. 

All 32 of my hours were spent desperately trying to enjoy this game, as Oblivion was my introduction to RPGs, and one of my favorite games of all time as a result. Between the drab color palette, tedious leveling, dated combat and sound effects, and sleep inducing writing, I just couldn't get into the game that made Bethesda such a powerhouse in the industry until recently.

I've modded it a few times and got some enjoyment here and there, but nothing worth the effort that isn't just better spent playing another game.

Would you ever do an "APB: Reloaded 10 years later" video? There seems to be so many mistakes and scandals it could probably be an interesting topic, or create an interesting topic to talk about. 

Unlikely as I've never played it, and getting that game operational enough for suitable playtime would be far more challenging than say a smaller-scale multiplayer component like Max Payne 3. It is one of the most fascinating developments in gaming though, and I won't be surprised if we only hear more about it in the future through other channels.
