God Rolls - Rasputin's Return, Square NFTnix, Aloy Annoyance

Happy New Year, God of War is definitely getting delayed

It’s the first God Rolls of 2022, and even though the industry took the holiday off, did you think that would stop me from writing five articles a day? Please. If I can’t find stories, I make stories. So yeah, it’s a full slate. I did only write one thing on Christmas about Nintendo’s eshop going down because of course it did.

What I’m Watching: I just did all of Cobra Kai season 4 in two days, where even though they just re-do like the same four storylines every year, it’s still really enjoyable. Still watching Expanse, Dexter, Yellowjackets as well. The Book of Boba Fett has arrived and is…fine.

What I’m Playing: I took this week to catch up in Genshin Impact, playing through the last three patches of story content and leveling my Raiden Shogun from ages ago to actually be usable. Also finished the MMXXI seal in Destiny and farmed all the Dawning rolls I cared about.

So, here’s the recap:

Destiny

The ‘Destiny 2’ Archangel Rasputin Guardian Theory For 2022 - Some aspects of this theory I am positive about. Others, less so. But I think it’s a good one.

A Petition For ‘Destiny 2’ To Bring The Red War Campaign Back - The New Lights need to be thrown a bone at this point. We only need, what, two planets back to make this happen?

Where Does ‘Destiny 2’ Go After The Witch Queen In 2022? - My take on the storylines Destiny may pursue after Witch Queen ahead of Lightfall.

Destiny 2’s Worst Enemy Isn’t Savathun, It’s Blue Drops - Time for another blue drops rant because it’s been another season where nothing has changed.

Other Games

Why Gaming NFTs Are Not Oblivion Horse Armor 2.0 - My lengthy take on why gamers have to continue to take a stand against NFTs, and why they’re way worse than traditional microtransactions.

Square Enix Scares Fans With NFT-Based 2022 New Year’s Resolutions - This was the piece that inspired the above one, as Square Enix professes its love for the blockchain in a gross way.

A Secret ‘Halo Infinite’ Mid-Credits Ending Has Leaked - This may hint at the future of Halo story content past what the game itself contained.

Maybe Let’s Stop Debating The Attractiveness Of Aloy From ‘Horizon Forbidden West’ - For the love of god please let’s stop doing this. Based on that absurd Bloomberg piece.

Talking my GOTY, where is actually two GOTYs because live services are a thing now:

I think Cyberpunk 2077 has two second chances to turn things around in 2022, unlike 2021:

My take that this was Destiny’s best year ever, despite there being no expansion:

And finally, we are starting to train the corg to appreciate…certain changes that will be coming around the house:

See you guys. Here’s to 2022.
