Month: May 2018

I have a work trip coming up in the next few months and with a Nintendo Switch on hand, I’m excited to finally get to experience part of what makes the console so interesting: it’s portability. I’ve started to think about some of the things I’ll need and, naturally, I’ll likely pick up a few games to help pass the time on the flight. Ideally, some of those are likely to be smaller indie games like Super Meat Boy.

Obviously, that’s a game that’s been out for quite a while, ported to nearly every platform there is, so most people are well aware of how difficult it can be. I’d argue fair but difficult. Remembering that fact triggered another thought in my head, one that I’ve been thinking about over and over, especially in this modern society.

So I want to know: When deciding whether or not to buy…

I’m not that hung up on graphics when it comes to the choices I make of which MMORPGs to play or not to play. That’s not to say I care nothing about graphic quality or style, but it’s not top of my list of criteria. So it was with passing interest that I read over at Massively OP that Blade and Soul is getting a graphics engine upgrade from Unreal 3 to Unreal 4.

Some games do manage to make improvements, World of Warcraft’s graphics have evolved enormously since launch (and continue to do so with Battle for Azeroth), but then is WoW an outlier in this as in so many things?  I remember reading years ago of Aion having a big graphics upgrade but then I haven’t played the game long enough to notice changes over time.

Legion’s graphics are a world away from Vanilla Wow’s

I can…
