Wow, I have no idea how this is possible but okay.

It takes 78,300 XP to get to level 10. I have only been playing Turf War so maybe ranked mode is a whole other thing. But wins in Turf War give you a max of 1400 XP. So even if you were amazing enough to win every single game and matchmake at maximum speed so you were getting ten wins every hour, it would still take you more than five hours to go from 1 to 10

ranked gives more exp but is locked until level 10 lol
honestly it seems fair enough to me, maybe the one level gate that makes sense aside from locking away sniper rifles.

Lol what? Lawbreakers has leveling, microtransactions and lootboxes.

Edit: ah, you added the edit in the meantime

Yeah, I guess I must have heard that it was sort of a throwback to classic arena shooters and then my brain filled in that it didn't have lootboxes or levels.

Since it apparently does have all that I'm not really sure what the point of it is.

Fir the life of me, I'm having trouble really getting into Splatoon, which honestly surprised me. I didn't really get my fill on the original because I got distracted by other things but I always wanted to jump back in and give it a real try. Now that I have I'm just having trouble staying all that interested and I'm not even sure why. I like the concept and it feels good to play but I don't really like modes other than turf war all that much and even then I get kind of bored with it after not THAT much time. There are some concrete things I can say are bad about the game but nothing that's really a dealbreaker so I don't know why I just never really want to play it.

Played a couple hours of the Splatfest and finally got from level 9 to level 10. And just to show that this leveling is not because I'm somehow the worst player in the world, this is the game that put me over.


Still really fun! Think I'll try to get to Flight Champion before it's over

The poo poo that Shadow of War is pulling is really lame and makes me not want to play it. I know it's mostly separate from the main story like MGSV but eh

The trick with single player games is to just play the main storyline and only play sidequests up until the very second they start to feel grindy, at which point you drop them and go back to the main storyline and never look back.

I was doing some of the side stuff in the FF12 remake this evening then i hit a wall that Google says requires a few hours grinding to get past so i guess i'll never see that sidequest stuff and it's on to the end of the actual good game bit!

It's very freeing to make a conscious decision to never do boring busywork in SP video-games ever again.
