Ah shit, I completely forgot about that. Because it seemed like a throw away scene from the previous episode. Thanks for that!

I mean, I agree the gameplay is definitely fun. It's the big difference between the two games to me. MnM I feel like the game is actively fighting me, adding tedium wherever possible. Any fun I have is basically in spite of the game, not because of it. AoA is fun because they removed all the...

MnM graphics do indeed suck, but I think the one thing that will keep people away from this is the graphics. You either like it or you don't. And if you don't, you're not even going to touch this.

She went to the lighthouse and escaped back to the real world. Found Victor's dad, something happened with him (heart attack?), and an ambulance came and got them both. Ambulance got sucked into From world with super annoying blonde cop girl. Which is why whatever that was supposed to be (with...

I mean...no shit? Pretty sure many of us predicted that. It's amazing how things that are super obvious somehow elude these massive corporations.

Best part of the entire season was Henry (I think? Victor's dad) and his whatever the fuck that was. Whether real or imagined. Most interesting thing so far. And it was like 8 seconds.

The ironic part is the types that are the target audience for this will absolutely pay the monthly sub to beta test for them. They may as well just release it and say fuck it at this point and balance everything as they go. Holding out for some hypothetical audience that will be scared away by...

I'm watching the RLM review of it now, and it kind of hit me that really He-Man is a property for people 50+ at this point. I vaguely remember He-Man, but I don't know that I was ever really into it. I'm just not quite old enough. If you were the target demographic for this in 1983-84, you were...

The show obviously has an enormous budget just from the set pieces and cars and shit. And it's obviously got a cast with above average acting chops. The writing is just so so terrible. I haven't watched the last episode yet, and I kind of just don't want to. You can really tell they had no idea...

I'd play it if it were a $20-30 box price and no subscription. A subscription on an MMO is an automatic no for me. Mostly because it makes it so I don't actually feel like I own the game. If I decide to stop playing for a year and come back, it feels like I'm basically paying the box fee again...

Misc was already a shell of itself for years before it shut down. Now years removed, I doubt most users are coming back.

Are they still sticking to their EA launch in a few months? It seems like they're basically doing a complete redesign at this point. It's starting to give me the same vibes that Ashes of Creation did where you're just like...what the fuck are these people doing?

Seems like we get a minor variation of those people here who just want the most painful possible mechanics. It's not a real MMO unless you have to spend 23 hours a day playing. Which is something I think @Kirun got to in a recent post, where it seems people are confusing difficulty for time...

It's memorable in the worst way. Instead of actively engaging in the game, I'm forced to do a frantic corpse recovery to not lose everything I've got. And in the course of that, the game threw an impediment that's basically insurmountable to waste my time (I should also add I even had a bard...

Down about an entire year's worth of expenses today in net worth. Which I guess is actually a good thing, because it means our withdrawal rate is sub-3%. Definitely annoying, but then again, we're also still up massively this year.
