The first taste is free
I’m not entirely sure how these things happen, but every now and again I’ll find myself looking for a more familiar game to pick up. Sometimes it’s as simple as a few matches ofOverwatch, other times a few rounds ofStreet Fighter, but on occasion I find myself sucked back into a time-consuming MMO rabbit hole.
It isn’t alwaysWorld of Warcraft. I’ve spent time playing other MMOs likeFinal Fantasy XIV, butWoWand I have the most history and when I need some familiarity back in my gaming I find it hard to resist the siren’s song.
World of Warcraftis a great game. It’s also a sickness I need to purge from my body. Send help!
I enjoy mulling around Azeroth as much as the next guy, but it’s alarming how quickly you’re able to lose track of yourself when playing games with simple loops like this. I’ve lost entire days to running dungeons before and I’m doing my best to avoid it this time around.
For now, I’ll probably run my new Draenei Paladin when I need to unwind, but I honestly doubt I’ll stick with my return toWorld of Warcraftfor very long. As I’m writing thisMonster Hunter Worldhas launched and a whole lot more is on the horizon.
With more games to play, I’m sure I’ll be canceling my subscription very soon, however, in the meantime I’d love to hear what games you simply can’t quit, whether it’s resubbing to a subscription-based game or if it’s the seventh copy ofResident Evil 4you’ve purchased.
