Destiny 2 is a great game that is often underappreciated by gamers. Many people criticize live service games, which offer continuous updates and microtransactions, but there are actually a lot of high-quality live service games on the market. These games often receive a lot of criticism, but that's because the failures stand out more than the successes. In reality, there are many live service games that are worth the time and money.
Some of the best live service games include Apex Legends, Destiny 2, Warframe, GTA Online, Genshin Impact, League Of Legends, Fortnite, Rocket League, and Rainbow Six Siege. And this is just the tip of the iceberg, as there are many more great live service games depending on personal preferences. Of course, it would be great to see a wider variety of genres in the live service game market, but we should not condemn all live service games based on a few bad apples.
Moving on to a different topic, one reader is curious about FromSoftware's next game. Some people speculate that Elden Ring, an upcoming game from the same developers, could be considered Dark Souls 4. However, there are some key differences between the two franchises. While Elden Ring does have some elements that resemble Dark Souls, the combat and level design are quite different. But regardless of whether or not Elden Ring is considered Dark Souls 4, it's still a fantastic game in its own right.
Switching gears again, another reader brings up Nintendo's recent announcement of new hardware. While it may seem random at first, there is usually a method to Nintendo's madness. However, it's unlikely that we will see any major updates for the Nintendo Switch this year. That being said, at least Nintendo has a plan in place, which is more than can be said for some other companies in these uncertain times.
Moving on to a different topic, one reader is curious about the lack of open world realistic racing games. This may be due to the complexity of creating both realistic physics and a large open world. However, there are some options for those who are interested in this type of game, such as modding existing games like Assetto Corsa or BeamNG Drive.
On a similar note, another reader suggests checking out the vibrant Indie scene for classic games that may have been missed the first time around. Digital distribution has its downsides, but it also provides access to a wide range of games at affordable prices.
Lastly, one reader expresses frustration with Bethesda's lack of support for mods in their games, specifically mentioning the Fallout London mod. While digital distribution has its benefits, it also has its limitations, such as restrictions on user-generated content. Hopefully, in the future, more companies will find a way to balance both physical and digital distribution to provide the best possible gaming experience for all players.
