Ive had a rough week, a really rough one.
we all do.
nut as far as gaming goes, it seems these days we all play for some major mindset.
-finish a quest
-do an objectivel
-challenge a difficulty
-hunt optional stuff
-play pvp
-raid
the list goes on, we play for some objective or mindset and at times, even that comes to frustrate us.
we play pvp and sometimes get restless if we make no advancement, we raid in games like wow or destiny but keep failing, we try to face an optional mega boss in an rpg but get stomped, we try to hunt for every collectible but miss one thst eluded us and now we must start again.
today for me, it was strange, I was having an off day in overwatch, no progress for competitive in team fortress, destiny content has been slow
So instead I popped in halo 5, did heroic with some skulls on and well despite score attack being on,
i realized, there was no point in this, there was no reward, no objective, just run through the level and finish it, no point to these numbers or flashy medals.
but then I just continued and well, I realized, I had fun.
having fun is what the game is all about.
i just dropped all context of.“bad camaogin” “343 butchered the series” and “sprint is dumb”
i was just genuinely enjoying my time, blasting soldiers into dust with headshots one moment with a light rifle, the next I was shot gunning elites in blue team while then filling hunters with countless smg rounds.
and ever since halo 3, I remembered why I like the series, just because it’s personally about experience and having fun.
I have not been majorly active on halo 5, but aside from wzff, there was not much I did.
But I had fun, maybe it was the satisfaction of killing enemies, a feel only halo could bring or it was the weapons. I cannot say.
But for the first time in a long time, I remembered why it was important, just to have fun.
