Started Playing Star Trek Online!

            I have started to play between work that I have been working on, Star Trek Online which was recommended by a twitch stream I watch regularly. So big shoutout to them. Now when I first started, I just could not for the life of me find the main bridge of the ship my character was suppose to go to so that took at least a good 10 - 15 minutes to find which I did in the end. Now the movement and shooting was very awkward at the start but remember every game is different with the way of the controls are. Majority of the time it is WASD Keys for the movements or the arrows keys. I am learning the movements of the character and it will definitely take some time for me to get the hang of it. One thing that does bother me is the fact the enemies go right up to you shooting and I try to move away so I can shoot but they seem to like get in my face and shoot. I also find the shooting hard to do and figure out what button to shoot with, but yet again, it will take some time to get the hang of it down the road. I am very much awkward with the movements but again it comes down to learning the keys down and I will in time honestly.


                So far, I am enjoying the game but was sort of still trying to maneuver around the paths in the game but I guess eventually I will get through it. What a friend told me the PC version of this game has a heck of a lot more levels so it will definitely take some time for me to beat but I am definitely up to the challenge honestly. However I am sure once I pass a bunch of missions, I will figure it out and I will be completing things quite quickly which that is one thing I wish I can do with another game I am playing but this is a nice change of pace for the way of video games honestly and it does indeed give me a break from games I am trying to 100% *Cough cough The Binding of Isaac* which I will beat sooner or later but at least I am playing a bit of a different genre of a game and I am enjoying it but it is once again a learning curve but patience is indeed a virtue.

First Impressions of XCom: Enemy Unknown Video Game

             Mind you I haven't played a ton of hours of XCom: Enemy Unknown at this point but enough to give my first impressions on today's blog post. First thought when I went through the starting stages of the game and I haven't played it lately but I will get to it eventually as I got so many different games right now. The first initial impressions that I had with this game is this is so similar to Starcraft and it has that kind of format but minus one thing which is the building aspect of the game which XCom does not have, it is more fighting then usual but that's OK, honestly.  I sort of got stuck to where to go as I need to figure out where my guys go next and hopefully this weekend I will get a chance to actually play a little XCom: Enemy Unknown and get back right into the game. Right now my work load is very hectic and hope tonight to be finishing things up to at least have a day off tomorrow for the first time in a long time and this is more then likely going to be the game I play for the next while and get this game done too. Like I said my list is endless at this point and I will need to get some of them done before buying new games.


              Now do I actually enjoy this game? Yes I sure do. I like the way things work and I have watched someone play through this game and I am partial to shooter games actually. I like the format and like I mentioned above it sure reminds me of Starcraft which is created by the company Blizzard. I am actually very good at the shooter games, especially the sniper shots I am a bulls-eye shot so to speak. It is a learning curve with this game but I am sure as heck am learning as I go on in this game and it is the same with any game I play I have to learn as I go throughout the game so I am definitely up to learning new things in the game and figuring things out. One good thing about me is I am indeed a fast learner and able to learn on the go which is a very good trait to indeed have. I really am enjoying this game and I plan on doing a final thoughts on this game in the very nearby future.
