Games

I play Diablo 3 to explode armies of monsters and spend time with my wife...

With patch 8.3 not arriving until next year, we have at least a month and a half of no new content coming to World of Warcraft.

Okay, so right now I’m playing World of Warcraft, I’m also playing Diablo 3, and I started a Dragon Age Inquisition playthrough last weekend. And also, the last chapter of the Fate of Atlantis DLC for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is coming out next Tuesday.

I have no idea how I’m gonna play all this.

This is the Queue. Let’s talk Blizzard games.

What is the lifespan of a game?

So this past week the new DLC for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey came out, the raid finder for Crucible of Storms dropped, and I finally got the final DLC for Pathfinder: Kingmaker, so there’s been a lot of games I could be playing while at the same time I have real life stuff to do. It gets kind of tense to try and carve out time to play when you feel like it means you’re not doing what you’re supposed to do. Right now I’m giving myself a little time to play Kingmaker while writing this Queue. That’s my Aasimar Paladin, who is really mostly just a Two-Handed Weapon Fighter with  one Paladin level just to be contrary. Both this game and the Odyssey DLC have made for a lot of enjoyment this week, so I’m gonna ask you guys — what have you been enjoying? What are you guys finding yourselves engrossed in?

This is the Queue. Let’s talk about stuff.

It's no secret that Diablo Immortal didn't get an enthused reception from the crowd at BlizzCon last year -- while you'd think that more Diablo is always a good thing, players have a lot of negative opinions about mobile games.

There are a lot of feelings going around.

Okay, so right now I'm playing two Blizzard games and a non-Blizzard game on the regular and I'm also getting into another Blizzard game. And I'm considering Destiny 2 -- which would mean regularly playing World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, Heroes of the Storm, Destiny 2, and Battle Chasers. That is a lot of games to be playing.

You really love Overwatch but patch 7.3 just dropped -- how do you choose which one gets your time?

I think Hearthstone is fascinating to watch, especially when two seasoned players with fancy decks go at it.
