An RPG rundown; recommendations and reviews of the best role-playing games on the market.

Knights of the Old Republic
To say that Star Wars is a juggernaut of a franchise would be an understatement of note. The first film, A New Hope, was released in 1977 and was an instant mega-hit with queues out the door and around the block to see what all the hype was about. At the time, sci-fi films weren't the grand spectacle they are today.

The "Amateur" Adventurer
When we think of so-called adventurers, we tend to think of those who are in it for the money. Those men and women who turn up to get a share of a lost pirate treasure, a dragon's horde, or at least a pouch of gold coins for bringing in a bandit bounty, or ending the threat from a nearby goblin cave. However, the idea of professionalism is one that we might be able to look at through another lens. Because the way we think of them now is different from the way we once did.

Tarkov's New "Unheard Edition" is the Most Disrespectful Chain of Events in the Game's History.
What has transpired over the last 48 plus hours in the Tarkov community is nothing short of a disaster. With the reveal and release of their new edition for the game: the unheard edition, players are now being asked to spend an additional $100 to upgrade from Edge of Darkness, or an egregious $250 for the biggest and baddest version of the game if it’s your first time buying a copy of the game. For comparison, I’ve played league of legends since 2014, a free to play game where you can buy skins for the characters, and I’ve spent less than $250 on that game in a decade. And now BSG is asking new players to cough that up for items and bonuses that have gone past the point of cosmetic only. It’s a shame and an absolute disgrace to every single person who has supported the game with their own time and money. A flagrant disregard to the community as a whole, a slap in the face, and a harsh reminder that companies don’t owe you shit. True colors and intentions have been shown today. And the easiest way to speak against it is to not buy it. But let’s be real for a second: everyone that plays this game is a grown ass adult or at least I hope you are. What you do with your money is your choice to make and yours alone. Am I or should I talk shit to anyone who does decide to get this bigger version of the game? No. If you are financially sound and have the expendable income to do so, that’s your prerogative. Obviously, BSG needs the money more than you do, or at least that was the initial impression. They must be in more dire financial straits than we thought. Or they just want to nickel and dime us. Or they are just genuinely fucking stupid and don’t know how to add monetizable things to Tarkov that don’t ruin the balance of the game completely. I’ve given them enough benefits of the doubt, in the now will be 7 years I have known about this game. Here, it’s obvious they want to make money and are willing to gatekeep modes that everyone has asked for years to be added into the game. And rip assets from their engines store to make it feel more exclusive and cooler.

I Gave Final Fantasy XIV a Third Chance
I first tried Final Fantasy XIV in October 2020. Like everyone, I wasn’t going out much. I was burnt out on World of Warcraft. I had also recently completed Final Fantasy XV so an MMO with Final Fantasy worldbuilding and storytelling was right up my street.

Improving as a Solo Sniper in Tarkov
As someone who enjoys using bolt-actions and generally longer ranged weapons a little too much in Tarkov, I have always tried to get better at using these weapons. They are by far the most difficult type of weapon to use. You don't get the luxury of full auto, and you need to make sure that your aim is true. It’s a great deal of pressure in a game where people are going to outpace you with rifles and SMGs. But again, as someone who really enjoys this playstyle, I’ve come to terms with the downsides of these weapons and embrace their flaws as to what makes them so compelling to use in the first place. If it's one thing veteran players of Tarkov love to do, is self-handicapping themselves in a plethora of ways. And while I wouldn’t say using a bolt-action is the same as doing a hardcore account, it's as close as you can get without adding rules or restrictions on how you play the game. Regardless, these weapons are hard to use; I enjoy using them, so I’ve learned a few things over the hundreds of hours I’ve put into bolt-actions. So, I’d like to share some of those harsh lessons of making mistakes, dying and learning from them. These are especially important if you are a solo player. With no one around you for support, being a sniper is scary, but it doesn’t always have to be.
