Hey there, whatcha looking here?

First of all welcome to my profile!

I am Fr0stPh03niX and I love playing games (as you would have probably guessed by now!).
I like playing FPS and Co-Op games the most, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the other genres too. Among the other genres I also like RPGs, racing and looter shooters - (the Borderlands series being my favorite among them).

I also am a lore lover and I love reading things that pique my interest. So if I find enthusiasm in a specific game's lore, I love to invest myself into it.

I have a keen interest in developers who have made outstanding games with their amazing vision.

I used to trade games in the past when I was into trading and I had them in my stock but please don't add me if you are BEGGING FOR FREE GAMES.
Coz I seriously f*cking hate that.

Read on to know more about me

I try to hunt achievements for the games which I have thoroughly enjoyed and complete them fully to 100% if possible. I used to have the stigma of completing every game to the fullest which I used to play, but as I have grown and due to more and more time constraints, I only hunt the achievements of the game to the max which I have fully loved! Also, if you are up for a particular game's achievement or need help, I will happily play that along with you if my time abides.

I buy games with whatever hard-earned money I save since I cannot afford to buy all of them in one go. That is why I usually wait for sales to pick my wishlist ones in bulk. Sometimes if my friends really want (or rather force me ) to play some hot picks/trending games with them, I save up for those too. Still waiting for the "rags to riches" moment in my life when I can finally purchase anything I like without a second thought!
Also, sad to say but many of the games these days come out unpolished on release (apart from a select few Indie titles maybe), and then day 1 patches are issued to fix the problems. This has been an industry trend for a while now, as more and more games are pushing for the "GAAS" (Games As A Service) model.

I am a Collector too. Apart from my game's collection, I also like to collect currencies from different countries and I have a small collection of them. In my childhood days, I used to collect stamps of different values, but ain't got no time for that now.
I also have a stack full of Pokémon Jenga Tazos and Beyblades from my ancient collection days (some of them were custom-made by me too!). Ah, those childhood memories!

I respect other's opinions a lot because different people can have different opinions on a particular subject, but when things get out of hand and the opponent generally overwhelms me with their crap, I don't spare them either. So, be careful.

Single-player games with good storytelling always delight me! Art style triumphs over graphics any day. Games that have great story or good gameplay mechanics always deserve a try, even if their graphics were not on par with the modern standards. Also, flashback to my childhood days when every single game didn't have shoehorned micro transactions in them.

I like to play a variety of games depending on their genre. I love FPS (both competitive and casual shooters), Co-op, Open World (do linear games even exist in today's era?), and RPG games. I had lots of fun playing Dead Island, Payday 2, Borderlands 2, and Killing Floor 2 in co-op (back when I barely had any games to play with on a proper PC). I still cherish those memories of meeting many fascinating people and forming friendships, many of whom still remain my close friends to this day.

My favorite bands of all time are Poets of the Fall and Hinder (man Austin John Winkler, I miss you so much). Big fan of them and I love <3 them to death! The music of POTF and Hinder are a pure sense of art, and I consider Marko Saaresto and Austin John Winkler to be legends. POTF and Hinder have kept my hopes and morale high in many ups and downs of my life throughout, and I literally can't think of a moment when I didn't listen to POTF/Hinder when I was at a low ebb or suffering from some stupid anxiety.

I was a Payday 2 veteran formerly. Now you may ask, why am I telling you this all of a sudden, I will happily abide to give you an answer.
When I used to play Payday 2 regularly, lots of people sought build advice from me, thus I used to have a whole 5-10 detailed builds listed here on my profile page. Now that I no longer play the game as much as I used to, I have decided to remove all the builds as it doesn't make any sense to keep a huge wall of text floating here (half of my friend list consists of people whom I had met, played and enjoyed Payday 2 with, so all the memories still abide with me).
