Not sure if I've been too busy or if I stopped caring to even try making even semi-regular blogs here. I'll try to make this one a quick update blog. So first, life stuff. I finished my first year of returning to University after having dropped out for 3 years. I never thought I'd be able to return to school, but all in all my year went better than expected. I wish I had a better idea of the program I wanted when I returned (I switched from a BBA in Economics to a BA in Economics) and didn't decide to drop a class at the last minute this semester, but, on the bright side I did well across the 9 total classes I took over the school year. 1 B, 1 C, and the rest A's. I have probably another 2.5 years to go thanks to poor planning and poor performance when I first attended, but I'm much more determined to finish this time.
Anyway. Gaming. I've still found time for it even with school, a part-time job, and for the first time in my life, a girlfriend. And now that it's summer I have more time to kill since I'm just going to keep working at my only part-time job. I finally played Fallout 4 since my last update. Pretty sure I didn't even have my Pro a year ago, I'm not entirely sure lol. Long story short, loved Fallout 4 and still have its bigger add-ons to play. The PS4 Pro is great even if I don't have a 4K display. Right now, I'm finally playing Horizon: Zero Dawn. I'm almost finished with it and I don't really have much to complain about. Definitely one of the better games this generation. Not sure where I'd place it yet, but definitely somewhere in the top 10 as far as PS4 games I've played go, maybe almost even top 5.
Here are some games I hope to play through this Summer:
- Horizon: Zero Dawn + DLC
- Fallout 4 DLC
- Danganronpa 3
- Mass Effect Andromeda
- Undertale (PS4)
- Burnout Paradise Remastered
- Detroit: Become Human
- GTA San Andreas (PS4)
- Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
- Disgaea 4
God of War
Probably won't get through all those, especially since I might not even buy some of them by the end of summer. Plus, I expect Persona 5 alone will take up a lot of time once I get to playing it. I haven't updated my backlog progress in almost 2 years, so here's the short version:
Current Backlog - 8 Games (-8)
Current Wish List - 13 (-25)
Total Games on my "To Play" List - 21 (-33)
Looks like I really took care of my backlog the last couple of years. Granted, I simply decided to not play some of the games on there. But I think it was for the best.
On one last note, I've been attempting to rank every game I've played and rated. It's proven to be quite the task, but it's been really fun as well. Right now I have 303 games rated and ranked (not counting smaller add-ons and repeat games such as remasters and games I've played multiple versions of )
Once it's more finalized, I think I'll post a link to my spreadsheets with all that stuff on it, not that I think anyone else would care that much lol. Also, I might do a sort of countdown blog of maybe my top 50 games once I'm happy with what I have. Spoiler alert: Fallout 3 is #1 :D
