I've been somewhat bored with gaming the last few months, so I've been forcing myself to play BF4 again. I stopped playing that game maybe 7 months ago but began playing again 3 weeks ago. I only play in Hardcore mode (kill/damage model is more rewarding and realistic), but usually played Conquest mode. I gravitated to Team Death Match and Gun Master modes, as they've a lot more going on. I've had a spikes in kills (and deaths) and have been obtaining lots of ribbons and medals (and equipment)...all with it being more fun than the other modes I was playing last year. I have to keep mixing it up, I guess.
Prior to being re-engaged with BF4, I gave ARK: Survival Evolved a spin. I do NOT like it. It's not a bad game, but is too time-consuming. If you have OCD, this might just be your type of game, though. I'm not going to explain the game, but if you're curious, a simple Google search will help. Much of the game is open-ended (it's an open world that is undeveloped...you've to develop it).
I've also decided to try again with War Thunder. I'd tried it awhile back and played it for maybe a week or two, then got bored with it. I've been playing it again for maybe 2-3 days so far and I've gotten more kills/assists these last 2-3 days than I did in the 7-14 the last time I played it. I've also been watching LOTS of WT tutorials on YouTube, which helps. I'm also working my way through the game's single player tutorials and I'm finally working my way through some of the single player campaigns. I've been doing this to get the extra virtual money and upgrade points, but realized that going through them would help me learn crucial WT knowledge/skills. I also fly online nightly. Normally I don't like learning games while being online, as experts tend to prey on those new to the game and that usually makes learning very frustrating, but it's different with WT, as when you fly in multiplayer mode, it matches you with others of your skill level. This is something that I think a lot of games would benefit from (or, the game end users). I've been very satisfied with WT the last few days and will probably continue to play the game. I've been playing Arcade mode, but the plan is to eventually migrate up through the modes as I become more proficient with flying.
Maybe I'll capture some Fraps gameplay footage, post it to YouTube, and link it here.
