Hello people of gog, Kyy here. I decided to make this request due to the increasing hype over the game and totalbiscuit's video. I also decided to make it as a good milestone on my official reddit 1 year being on the site thing.
My Past
I remember when I was very young, I was happy, funny, and charismatic. I talked to my friends and just goofed around in the early stage of my life. That all changed quickly when I got left back, even as a kid I knew I did something wrong. All of elementary school was filled with depression and a complete loss of self pride (After I came to the realization my friends are 1 year ahead academically) I was isolated from the kids I knew and lost so many good qualities like my charisma and overall happiness. Two things helped me escape my depression and helped me recover my pride (My pride was recovered because instead of being social I stepped up academically so that contributed to that.) First was my cat, he was the only animal that loved me unconditionally...he would be near me at my worst of times (I mean my parents did too but it was a different sense around him) and made me feel better (He was also like me, a tad oddballish, he was born without a leg.) The second more relevant contributor was gaming.
Gaming's role in my life
I touched the first game, super smash bros on the nintendo 64 when I was around 5-6 years old. I liked it and it was a good time waster (I had to be baby sat very early on until my mom got fired from her job). My brother is also big into gaming, as a kid I looked up to him and playing the games he played made me feel happy a little bit (it reminded me of him I suppose?). It all changed when my life went down to depression though--gaming wasn't a time wasting entertainment-- it was the one thing (besides my cat) that brought me to a new world and accomplish new things. As gaming grew up so did I, I played all types of games--sonic,mario, jak and daxter, you name it I probably played it. I love gaming, I really wouldn't be anywhere in life without it.
Noteable games
Minecraft - Minecraft is not my favorite game, it has its glaring issues for me but the one thing that settles it from the pack is it's community. Servers filled with people who are awesome people who play together and survive together. Another awesome thing is mods, modding in gaming is fascinatingly good to think of..making a game that much better with mods that extend its lifespan of interestingness one of the reasons why I want xcom 2
Binding of Isaac: BibleThamp (rebirth and the original apply here) I'm and rng guy, I like things spontaneous and random. I like games that provide a different experience every time you play This is one of the reasons why I wanna get xcom 2.
Smite: Ah, mobas. A tricky genra for me because I was more of a jack of all trades kind of gamer (As in I am not good at games but im decent at everyone I play) but here comes smite-- a moba...in third person. I tried out league in the past and I liked the idea but not the camera..Too clunky and well it's kinda not..good..I guess? can't describe it but it takes so much work just to see the action. Smite is good in that case--your gripped right in with the third person perspective. I am actually happy to say after around 700 hours of playing I am finally good at a video game (wow a new low has been reached for me :)) Here are my stats if you wanna see them
Pretty much every game that I liked in elementary school - Sorry to generalize but the games that pulled me out of my depression at that young age all deserve to be here somewhere; As there are so many I just added them to this category :).
Final summary
Did you get this far reading? if you did thanks! I appreciate people who even click on the link by accident YES YOU OVER THERE and for the people who even consider getting the game for me..wow I really have no kinder words to say.
I'm not so good at conclusions, so I will keep it bluntish. If you decide to give me the game you are this guy.
Why am I still typing? I don't know. beats me. You're still not convinced that you should shred 60 bucks on me? This Will be the last straw of doubt in your mind
If you couldn't tell im a bit patriatic towards my country ... sorry :)
That is all for me guys, I wish myself the best of luck (THATS NOW HOW THIS WORKS ME) ;)
