Blog Herding – The Best Blogs Of The Community (November 9, 2017)
Mario seems to be on the brain of the community in this week's short and sweet Blog Herding.
Community Blogs For November 2 – November 8:
Which
Games Have Fully Met Your Expectations?
ConnorTrinske was prompted to ask this question after enjoying Super Mario
Odyssey. In fact, he writes that it is the first time in a while that a game
met his expectations. I usually don't watch trailers or read much about
upcoming games, so I am usually pretty stoked when a new game comes out. But
that's not always the case. So, what games have met your expectations?
Microsoft
Has A Problem, And It Involves A Certain Little Plumber
Another blog, and another Mario mention, this time from Marco Polo. Basically,
the blog talks about the reason I have yet to get an Xbox One, and probably
won't ever: the exclusives. More specifically, the lack of them.
The
Best Games Period – Honorable Mention – Stellaris
I'm not too familiar with this game, but Jack Gardner has a podcast all about it if this 4X game sounds interesting to you. I am not even sure
what 4X means, though I have a guess. But hey, sci-fi!
Have
You Heard Of Super Lucky's Tale?
No, McNutty891, I have not. But we are glad to have you back after a short
hiatus to tell us all about this cutesy game. While it doesn't seem like
something I would play, I do enjoy the main character being a fox. And hey,
it's another Xbox One game.
The
Best Games of 2017, #2 – Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands
Trenchmace has me super excited to play this game. I played the heck out of The
Division with a buddy and loved it (we played after a lot of major updates
dropped, which seems like it was a good move). And that's kind of how Trenchmace
describes this game. Not so good at first, but with some updates and tweaks, it's "a
blast."
