just... wauw

Sometimes an influx of money into the hands of a dev means nothing if the dev gives ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about quality updates, and rather, just wants $$ updates. PUBG is a prime example of said scenario.

Writing this for the “Love/Hate Relationship” community write-in qualifcation.

I just recently started playing DotA 2 as you can tell. I literally play every game there is with the group of friends I play with on (almost) the daily. Never played DotA 2 with them, however, until recently.

Always heard them talk about it, watched videos with them. Crazy stuff, countless possibilities, crazy combos. All requiring a good game-sense and immense skills when it comes to some heroes.

Never tried to get into it because I've played a lot of MOBAs (have a lot of knowledge on them) and I just didn't feel like getting into a new MOBA (to myself) that required me to learn a ♥♥♥♥-ton of heroes, their abilities, tactics & strategies, techniques, knowledge on how to counter certain heroes, core builds, situational items & just the store's items in general.

But lately, I've been feeling like taking up a challenge like that.
I do not like playing a game being very unknowledgeable and possibly ruining the experience of others for the sake of my newbiness. As a new player, I try to play with a full-party being my friends. This means that, yeah, I'll mess up sometimes, but they'll be there to tell me what's right rather than bash me for doing what I did that was wrong. Even when we cannot play as a full-party, however, we happen to come across people that are understanding. Hard to believe, I know, I mean we do come across some toxic players, but hey, that's just inevitable in today's online gaming world.

But what if someone asks me, do I love or hate the game? What would my answer be?

I honestly love it & hate it. It's situational. There are times when I do really good being up against heroes I can instantly learn how to counter and play against, while my friends brief me up on their abilities before I read them real quick in lane. But there are times when ever if I'm told exactly what they do and how to counter them, I just cannot. Some heroes seem like they have really short cooldowns on abilities/ults that should have longer abilities, items that they get to upgrade their ult, etc, all that. It just seems unfair sometimes.

But I know, I'm not one to talk when I just started playing the game, everything is probably there for a reason & things cannot be 100% balanced but everything that I may think or claim is unbalanced or OP might just be normal when all this new knowledge is slapping my face.

I'll get used to it, eventually, I just hope I don't piss off a lot of teammates on the way.
I don't feed, I try my best not to, I usually don't end up with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ K/D ratio (except for the last few games).
But this is my love/hate relationship with DotA 2. It's amazing, but it's really difficult. I love it... But I hate it?

Nevertheless, another great approach from Valve.

Honestly one of the best if not THE BEST survival game out there.

With over 2300 hours invested into the game, I can say that this game is definitely the game you'd want to play if you're looking for some hardcore (yet noob-friendly when it comes to learning) survival experience to enjoy to the fullest with your friends!

Start off with a rock, make your way up through simple weapons and tools by harvesting and woodcutting/mining resources all the way to the most advanced of tools/structures and weapons for you to craft and build.

A serious time-killer, you can never go wrong purchasing this game!

All that and a whole lot more for only $20!

Edit: Price changed to $34.99 since I wrote this review, due to the fact that it came out of Early Access, still makes for an amazing game. Definitely worth the price. Would recommend to wait on sales every now and then to get your hands on it if the price tag is a little too pumped up.
