Goals Accomplished, New Goal

 Ok, in my first post I set two goals. One was to let some real people know about this blog. So I accomplished that. My second goal was to create ten posts. So I did that with my last post. (I am not counting the two posts I copy pasted from my previous blog).

So, time for a new goal. I decided my new goal is to write a review of Suzerain. As a part of that I intend to play it some more. Basically I want to play it until I get tired of it. I would like to complete a playthrough but all I am really committing to is ten total hours. I feel this is in the spirit of "small, manageable goals." I feel like if I am sick of it by ten total hours then I should have enough for a review albeit a somewhat incomplete and negative review.

So basically this kind of goes along with a project of playing and reviewing so called Double A or indie titles. Triple A games are games that were produced by big studios with large budgets and aim for large sales. These games are usually pretty expensive. By contrast, Double A games are made by smaller studios. They are usually more niche in their appeal and aim for smaller sales figures. These games are also usually less expensive. But these games also have polish and are nicer than some of the indie games out there. Indie titles is a bit more fuzzy. I kind of see it as including at least some Double A titles but also much smaller budget games or even single developer games. Indie games in my understanding span a pretty broad range of stuff. So, I kind of would like to focus on reviewing Double AA or indie titles. I am not opposed to playing or reviewing Triple A games but generally these are less interesting to me and I feel more attracted to less well known games. For example Baldur's Gate 3 is a Triple A title that I am interested in playing. I just feel to some extent there is not a whole lot of point in reviewing it because so much has been written or recorded about it and it is widely considered one of the greatest games ever. So unless I played it and really felt like I had something specific to say I might not want to write about it.
