In sort of an odd place at the moment;
I recently hung up the MMO reigns after a pretty intense 13 year career of hardcore raiding. Main reason being the career is just too demanding while trying to raid & actually work out and play ball. I thought single games on the ps3/ps4 and occasional computer game would satisfy my appetite but for the most part games seem so void of accomplishment. I'm an extremely competitive individual in about everything I do in real life but for the most part in the gaming world I stuck with MMO's instead of FPS etc. Part of the reason being that even though you know you are going to quit an MMO at some point, its alot easier to invest the time knowing it "could" be something you continue to build on for years so its a more rewarding and a better investment.
I also hate playing catch up to people that have been playing games significantly longer then I have (lil issue surrounding failure...never did learn to accept it and having a 12 yr fucktard talk shit while I'm learning a game he played for a year gets agitating). I played LoL briefly before I gave FFXIV a go and there was some enjoyment there but its abit too mature game for my liking. I missed the DOTA2 train as well.
The last 3-4 weeks I jumped into Might & Magic cardgame which is a new genre for me and I actually enjoy that. I've got up to 1350 or so elo learning and have plenty to learn but part of my problem is its abit too depedant on draw luck and lacks real response to give you that rush and challenge. Still fun but not sure I want to spend the next year focusing on that. Heartstone is abit simplified for my tastes after playing Might and Magic.
I've been pretty busy outside of gaming so I haven't done the best staying on top of whats in the pipeline. Any of you smart guys who really keep up to speed on the gaming world have any suggestions that I could start following and try to get involved with in beta etc early on. Something to really scratch the competitive itch that has some staying power? Something you need to spend some significant time to learn and become an expert but success isn't quite as tied to time invested as an MMO and doesn't have as stringent time requirements (i've had more < 3 hours of sleep nights due to late raids then I can even begin to count and i'm too much of addict to just leave a raid early hah).
I'm open to any genre's but definitely like abit more of the fantasy based games that have some sort of minor reward for winning and time invested as well as provide a competitive gaming scene that isn't strictly tied to how fast you reaction time is (IE; fps's are abit too far on that front where a MOBA tends to have gear selection, class selection, team play, strategic and tactical decisions, etc as well as being a quick thinker). Just want something new to look forward to and plan on playing on.
Appreciate any feedback and suggestions.
