Loot makes you stronger in a video game. But when you only play every so often (ie: when the kids are asleep or when you have the rare chance of being home alone for the weekend), it feels like loot is the only thing helping your character survive even the L1 encounters. Perhaps after months of neglecting your favorite game, you've gotten a little rusty.
Recently, I started playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor–an epic AAA game where you're more likely to spend 400 hours on a side mission that earns you a new BD-1 droid color than you are to ever actually finish the game. With seemingly unlimited side mission tendrils to follow, what's a casual gamer to do? Well, if you're anything like me, you're probably going to be canceling plans for the foreseeable future so you can galavant across the galaxy using the Force and swinging a duel-wielded lightsaber around in a game.
And oh, will it be worth it.
So while you're looting every box you find in the game, remember that the color of your tunic doesn't actually make you a better gamer, but it sure does feel good to see your goofy customized character in every cut scene.
