      <div>&lt;p&gt;I should file this under &quot;Marathon&quot; but I don&#39;t think this game will last enough to be worth creating a tag just for it.&lt;/p&gt;</div>

      <div>&lt;p&gt;I should make a video just to have a long talk about this game but the short version is I believe AAA gaming is slowly moving to a cinematic experience where your input is optional. Less game, more movie where you press &quot;A&quot; to advance the story.&lt;/p&gt;</div>

      <div>&lt;p&gt;Valheim took so long I kinda lose interest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, it was not the time that made me lose interest, but Mistlands. Ashlands was slightly better still pretty bad and the combo of Mistland plus Ashlands made me lose interest in the game. I finished both but I had my fill.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Funnily enough I read the patch notes and most of the grievances I had with those zones were more or less tweaked but the thing is I lost trust in the devs. Whoever created those 2 zones have a far different concept of fun than I do.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plus, to be a bit honest here, I play a lot of survival games and Valheim looks a bit outdated by modern standards. Small inventory, no craft from chest and a constant grind for food and materials.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not saying it&#39;s a bad game and look like the devs learned from their mistakes (or from the players complaints) but for me it&#39;s too late.&lt;/p&gt;</div>

      <div>&lt;p&gt;I find a bit funny how in Overwatch some part of the community take their competitive side of the game seriously like every round is a career defining moment and victory means fame and fortune.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You step outside the computer and most people won&#39;t care about how good you frag, but even among gamers I don&#39;t think a high rank in Overwatch brings the same admiration you get from games like Starcraft, Counter Strike or League so why take it so serious?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, Jetpack Cat exist so I don&#39;t think the game is exactly balanced or serious either.&lt;/p&gt;</div>

      <div>&lt;p&gt;I don&#39;t follow GTA news but my feed always has some tidbit about it. Leaks, unions, videos... there is a clear dissonance about how much everybody (seen to) care about it and how little I do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I won&#39;t say there isn&#39;t an interest on the game, but I feel there is a bit of astroturf and exaggeration. Gaming is too vast and diverse now and GTA, big as it is, don&#39;t appeal to a lot of people, same way match-3 mobile games don&#39;t appeal to everybody but nobody says Candy Crush 2 is going to change gaming.&lt;/p&gt;</div>
