![]() Then there was the late summer Auto Chess/Auto Battler round up, where I tried out Dota Underlords and Teamfight Tactics. It wasn’t all that special, and when it started prompting me to pay, I was done. I tried it for a bit as something to do while waiting for an op to get going in EVE Online. Microsoft Solitaire is pre-loaded with Win10. StarCraft got a Carbot skin, which was enough for me to drag it out and play with it for a bit. The original Diablo got a GoG.com remaster, which means they made it work on Windows 10, so I ran through that. For me PoE isn’t as compelling as Diablo III or WoW to play solo, so I let it drop. However, the people in the group who were into it raced ahead and those of us who hadn’t touched the game for a few years ended up somewhat lost in the new mechanics added over time. Path of Exile had a new season and some friends wanted to play. Those all came and went in short bursts of activity, usually centered on some event. On the other games list I said I would probably play the following:Īnd I did, in fact, spend some time playing all three of those. Well, as long as we get away from MMOs and such, I did try a couple of new items. War Thunder I am just so terrible at that I couldn’t be bothered to install it again, and I thought about Word of Tanks, but never pressed the button.Īs for “something else new” I must have been making a joke, right? Activision gave me a free copy of Destiny 2 and then it went away before I could be bothered to even launch it. It doesn’t seem like it will be a thing anytime soon. I am at the point where I’m wondering if I should apply for a refund on the latter. Torchlight Frontiers and Camelot Unchained remain as yet unrealized. I jumped in and played on a live server for the 20th anniversary in March, explored some new places, struggled with the layers of interface options the game has accumulated over two decades, and generally had a good time.Īnd that was it. I think it might be time to admit that I am just not going to find the time for it.įinally, there were the wildcards, things I thought that might find their way into my rotation. But Project: Gorgon, that remains unplayed. And I did dive into Minecraft when searching for stuff that came with the Village and Pillage update. And I did kick off the year still invested in the LOTRO Legendary server idea, though that faded at some point in Moria.Īfter that there were the “somewhat likely” titles, which were:ĮverQuest II was a last minute winner, getting more play time last month than anything else. ![]() WoW Battle for Azeroth was not neglected, though I still haven’t unlocked flying for the expansion, the measure of whether or not you really played by some accounts. WoW Classic has been a big play time favorite since it launched in late August. EVE Online got play time through the whole year. Up first were the safe bets:Īnd, I was pretty bang on with that list.

But that is the essence of MMORPGs, that they want to keep you playing for years. ![]() And then at some point it became clear that I don’t really play that many new games anymore. The list used to be largely about new games that I was going to play. 2007 Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising (Didn’t ship).2011 – Tried 3 out of 5 eventually, but then The Agency was on the list.2012 – Actually tried most of the items on the list.2014 – I played Warlords of Draenor, which was a gimme really.2015 – literally nothing I listed went live.2016 – I played none from the list, but most didn’t ship.2017 – I played nothing from the list, though arguably only two were playable.2018 – Technically, mission accomplished reality, not so much.There is something of a tradition around here with this sort of post, going back years at this point. I realize that we’re only a few days into December at this point, leaving almost 8% of the year left to go, but there are also only so many days in a month and I had nothing else brewing for a post, so I am going to run with this a bit earlier that usual This is where I look at, in a broad sense, which games I ended up playing in 2019 relative to what I thought I might play.īack at the start of January I wrote a post about what I thought I might end up playing, so this is the nearly end of year follow up to that post.
