My thoughts on New World after 2 weeks playing

Daniel produced a negative review of New World two weeks prior because YouTube's algorithm heavily favors negative content, yielding 43,000 views and $148, which offset the game's cost and turned a profit.

Despite the negative review, Daniel considers New World a new favorite and possibly the best game played, having logged roughly 200 hours at about 14 hours per day over two weeks, effectively replacing Rainbow Six due to New World's progression systems.

New World provides Daniel with a sense of purpose, progression, and social interaction that helps counteract loneliness and boredom, featuring appealing graphics, dynamic lighting, audio, action combat, weapon talent trees, gathering, and group dungeons.

Daniel views the fulfillment in New World not from repetitive quest tasks but from completion and rewards, drawing parallels to real-world employment and long-term investing where patience and effort outmatch instant gratification, citing Warren Buffett's success over day traders.
