This is weird to see come back to this article (probably my most hated blog, this or the ready player one blog). I actually thought this was older than that, but I digress. I came back to the game for a third time, and I would say that my experiences with specific aspects have changed a bit, but my overall experience hasn't been better. When I went back (granted, for not that much time), my experience was just dull. Back when I played CSGO, I remember feeling an adrenaline rush whenever I pulled off a crazy move (four kills, having the odds stacked against me, etc.) When I went back, the first round of the first match I played (granted, this is casual but I am as casual as you can get in Siege), I got four kills. I ended match with a flawless victory, seven kills, and no deaths. The second match I played was similar with six kills, high kill-per-match ratio, flawless victory, and only one death. I truly feel like that should've been the turning point for me. Those are the high adrenaline moments that I loved to have in CSGO, even if things didn't play out the way I like. I felt nothing but boredom when playing these matches. I wasn't forcing myself to be bored to keep my opinions the same on the game, I was totally open to this game sweeping me off of my feet, and it just didn't.
Still, I don't want to be a debbie downer. I think that the actions the team behind this game are making are alright. Adding in the co-op mode has no negatives to it, other than it being a timed event, They have been constantly updating the game and improving the experience for those who enjoy the game, and more. Still, their are some missteps made. I personally think the starter edition should be free-to-play, and recently the developers tried to bring the price back up to $60 while giving you very little, instead of dropping the price lower as it should be doing considering this game is over two years old (not to say they haven't been dropping the price).
Honestly, I haven't gone back to read this article and I probably won't. Their are mistakes I have made in this article that (like my math for earning currency (I cleared that up in the next entry about the game)) that are wrong and their are mistakes (like my title, which I just changed) that aren't necessarily wrong but I wish I worded differently. As for the article, I forgot what I talked about specifically and I can't say for sure if I still think about those aspects in that way, but I can still say that my overall experience with the game is still not great.
