Gaming

Well, at least it appears to be keeping you folk entertained.

I've never actually tried a MMORPG myself, but I did just take a look at a few vids on it. ... I've only fooled with a few games over the years myself, preferring RPG's and in third person. - Like I've always enjoyed the Fable games, as well as the Assassin's Creed, and the Splinter Cell games. I prefer the Fantasy stuff, but I also like the stealth and assassin abilities with Splinter Cell and the like, but have to say the shooting (namely Sniper mode) was always fun.

My son actually showed me one about a year or so ago called STYX, (think there's a few versions now?) which I was able to download for free on XboxOne to try. Main character is an ornery/rude little Goblin, actions are a bit simplistic really, but it was quite enjoyable. Never did get to finish it though, lack of free time.

Actually just looked up STYX and it appears there are three versions. The first was Of Orcs and Men (Never saw that one) and then STYX - Master of Shadows (The one I played) and a new version STYX - Shards of Darkness. Might have to check that one out. ... For anyone who might like this type of game.




If this goes through, it's the new one, showing the main character.

I can only speak on the one I've played, Styx - Master of Shadows. It's a cool little game, where you are a Goblin and get to run around a very large environment of a mid-evil castle. (You have some basic memory issues, and as mentioned, he's quite crude/rude at times. You basic Goblin, I should say )But you basically use the shadows to your advantage, figure out ways to skirt around guards (Or take them out) and make you way through the different segments. Some are strategic based rooms you have to figure out, some you have to use powers, like cloning yourself to distract guards or get to places that might not accessible in true form. You can put out fires (wall torches) to create shadows, hide bodies of those you dispose of not to attract attention of the living, etc.

Overall I think it's a pretty entertaining game, and it's what I thought of after reading all the previous post on that other game you all have been discussing. Never tried to insert a video link, but I looked up a trailer for it, if this works.
