Maybe a New Gaming Routine

I think I might stop Gamefly rentals and join Game Pass on Xbox One. I want to play games day one and this will let me do it cheaply. Sea of Theives is out and I can jump right in. This will limit what I do on PS4 and 3DS and such, but I probably should narrow my interests anyway. I don't think I'll trade in anything. I still might pick up some games on other systems when there's a sale. So we'll see. I'm kind of excited. I want to get in there with games when everyone else is and get the best multiplayer experiences. I never thought I'd say that, but I'm kind of interested in exploring that right now. So on to today's gaming. 

Pinball FX3: Still didn't beat Rangergirl's scores on the Thor table but I did beat Ymir, the frost giant. I've been looking at the rule set and I think I will continue to study it every time I get in there. 

Odin's Sphere: I'm in the Fairyland story. I'm converting food and enemies to phozons to build up my special skills. I barely level up except when I sit down to eat at a restaurant. I hardly need to level much right now. Easy difficulty is very easy. Only occasionally do I need to watch my health meter in battles. 

Minecraft: Just can't stop playing it. Mark and I in there wanding around doing our seperate things. We figured out hoppers and I was messing around with electronics: pressure plates, red stone wires and solar cells. In several worlds we couldn't find the fortress in the nether. It made us quit and restart a different map. Very frustrating. Procedural generation can be both a boon and a pain in the butt. 

No Just Cause 3. I may return it so I can cancel Gamefly. I want to play it but it may come up in Game Pass or be on sale again for $12 like it was a few weeks ago. I really want to fly helicopters in it. 

That's a day. It snowed all day, so being inside was a good thing.

Speaking of Pinball FX3, I just reviewed the new Jurassic World tables.

The fairy's mom was cool in Odin Sphere.

I want to make a comment about her, but it'd probably be a spoiler. I was surprised to find an interesting story in this game.

Sounds like a good move, trying a new service that is one console. If anything if you get tired of it you can always go back to Gamefly. Gaming on the cheap is always a good route. Heck I like to wait for GOTY versions with all DLC.

Yea, and those collections. I was looking at the Mass Effect Trilogy box set and the Batman Arkham Collection. Same with the Bioshock Collection. All the DLC and everything. I want all of those sometime.

I second the move to gamepass. Its nice to play the new games everyone else is playing.

I'm already liking it. I'm just choosing whatever I feel like playing. No plans, no nothing. I like it better that way.
