The Best Game I played in 2015 Is...

2015 brought in a ton of really great games. We had WildStar going free-2-play, Life is Strange and the new Metal Gear to name a few. I must admit, however, this is not really about the best games that were released in 2015, but rather the best games I played this year. I am going to go from least to best, so away we go.


    The 5 best games I played in 2015 are...

5. Skyforge. Even though I don't personally play this game anymore (there is nothing to do but hard endgame stuff when you get to a higher prestige, so that doesn't work for me,) I still have to admit that this is a really great game. Just a bit too heavily focused on hard group content, and I'm a PUGer.








4.  WildStar, you gotta love this whacky, zany world and lore. Even if it does feel like your character is running on skates (in other words, you slide around a lot! lol)










3. Grim Dawn. It just became feature finished a little while ago (as of December 2015,) but this game offers a really great experience. If you are and ARPG fan, you should definitely pick this one up. There is just a crap-ton of content in this game.










2. The Witcher 3. This game was SO good, it really was such a hard decision to make between this and the #1 game on my list.


















1. Dying Light, is by far the most immersive game I have played this year. The controls feel so fluid and I love running for my life at night. It's been a while since a game actually startled me... ok, fine... it scared the pants right off of me. That first night time sequence... the fear is real!





There you have it, the best games I played in 2015. Happy New Year and hope you all have a game-tastic 2016!

WildStar Reloaded is live!!!

Or should I say: Queue Simulator 2015... I joke! I am actually happy to see a queue in this game. It gives me hope that maybe people may stick around and play this great game, after all: a strong community is everything in an MMO. Ghost servers, no thanks! You can look for my full rundown on this game soon, keep your eyes on Swhipgaming.blogspot.com and make sure to check us out on social media!

Guild Wars 2 goes free2play!

At least for the core game, and with the release of the expansions creeping upon us now is the time, it seems, to hop into Guild Wars 2, if you have wanted to give it a try.

Hey fellow gamers, I just uploaded a short instance run on YouTube, for the Skyforge instance, Kyris. Check it out here or in the site navigation to the left.

Been playing the new MMORPG Skyforge open beta. Is it any good? Check out the complete rundown here!

Fetch This...Kill That! Are MMO Quests Too Boring?

swhipgaming.blogspot.com

  Have you ever been playing your favorite MMO, and come to the realization that all the quests/missions are the same?  Maybe the backgrounds where you're killing the enemies or where you're picking up items that you need to return to look quest giver change, but the goals are ultimately the same.  Is there any hope for this style of game or are all in MMOs doomed?...continue reading

A few tips for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

   Tips for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Loot...EVERYTHING!

 When starting out, coin will be in short supply. You can boost your money game by looting everything you come across. You can then sell it to shopkeepers or break it down for use in making your own armors, potions,etc. Now would also be a good time to mention that, in my experience, different shopkeepers will pay you more for things that they tend to sell themselves. Example being a armor smith will pay more for armor pieces than say, the general store. Some shops won't even... continue reading here
