Backlog 365: Day 7 - Insurgency

For Backlog 365 I plan on playing one game on my backlog everyday this year and write about it. For each game I will decide if I want to put it on my "Shelved" list (games that I plan to come back to and play in depth) or put it on the "Retired" list (games that I will delete or sell and move on with my life).

• January 7
• PC
• Time Played: 11 minutes

I broke one of my rules on this game. I promised to play each game at least 30 minutes, but there was a good reason for this and I'll get to that real soon. First, I have to say that this is the kind of game I have been expecting to draw, and surprised I hadn't yet. Insurgency is a game that I have no interest in and didn't even know I owned. I did a little research and found out that I got this game from a Humble Bundle (surprise) in which I just wanted Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure. I am actually interested to play these games - (1) to get them off my list and (2) because they might surprise me

So, I fired up Insurgency. I decided to run through the training for a little bit, and everything seemed pretty standard FPS. Training seemed to be going on a little too long and I wanted to see what the game play was like so I went ahead and jumped into a match and....

5 Minutes of waiting for players... Yeah, not going to happen.

Judgement: Retired
