    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    It's like Flip says above, and I've mentioned several times, the game is so fucking generic. If it was generic and did all the generic shit perfectly it might be considered "OK" or "average" or maybe (MAYBE) squeak out a "good", but it doesn't. And even if it did, it would still fail hard, just...

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    What I've been saying for months and I've never even played the game. I think it's a little worse than "OK", "barely functional" might be more accurate. One month after Korean launch they merged the 18 servers down to 7. "During its investor call, however, NCsoft admitted that the game had...

    The Crow

    Yeah, my first time playing Tradewars on a multi-line bbs the Sysop called me because people kept whining to him that I was destroying them. I explained to him that's like the whole point of the game. By the end of the call I was a Co-sysop. Fun times. Morgus's movies were usually better than a...

    The Crow

    Deep cut, I remember watching Morgus back in the day. Were you on any of the local bbs's back then? Like The Point and Exoticomm?

    No one gives a fuck about tatted cops if the show is good.

    The Boys

    It's facial dysmorphia. Dysphoria is the tranny thing. That's probably next on her list. I don't think she was a 9, except on a cute, girl next door scale, the costume helped, plus makeup. Still a fucking travesty.

    Lost Ark Online

    The patent is irrelevant in that context, I only added it to illustrate the various ways Nexon could adjust percentages. Filing a patent for such things is pants on head retarded. Nor is it necessary to have a patent to utilize such tactics. The main point is that when there is a financial...

    Lost Ark Online

    The problem with percentage chances in an MMO (that most people don't consider) is that since the number generator is server side everyone is sharing rolls, and all the devs usually care about is if the number generator is accurate overall, not per individual. Some games will have a pity...

    Lost Ark Online

    I put it here because I didn't want to start a new thread and Lost Ark is also a Korean MMO, so it's relevant. I'm not accusing Smilegate of anything, but we can be sure Nexon isn't the only company guilty of this, just the first one caught. It's not just gachas. I can't believe I have to...

    One of the main reasons I've never trusted games with cash shops that are related in any way to a percentage chance for something:

    Why stop at only using them in the game itself?

    The Quinfall

    Was hardly a pump, it was a year ago and when I came across the trailer I thought it looked interesting and since there was no thread about it I made one and literally said it "looks interesting." My intention was simply to put it on our radar and have a place to discuss it as more information...

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    That was obviously what was going to happen. The game is generic as fuck. There are no hooks. For all the problems I have with Lost Ark at least they got the first thing right. Combat is the core of the fucking game, make it good. Not only did they show how clueless they are with the gameplay...

    Instead of this generic P2W blandfest we could have had a decent looking P2W Lost Ark clone.

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    The auto-play wasn't a main feature, just a way to afk grind small amounts of xp. And the combat changes are basically just not making nearly every ability root you in place and adding auto-attacks. A lot of the issues with the game are because when they scrapped the isometric version they...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Why bother? Hardcore is a one-trick pony that isn't really sustainable. And if you're going to remove things that help you, than you'd need to remove/fix stupid things that kill you. Like the elevator in Undercity. Of course, if you did that you'd also be removing a large part of what makes...

    Wheel of Time

    I wasn't implying anything. I was stating my perception of Rafe Judkins motivations for being such a twat. Which I base on statements made by the fag himself, and by the obvious evidence. Every deviation from the established characters and lore is plainly done with no other purpose than to piss...

    If you know the "statistics" on what percentage of fantasy readers world-wide are white I'd love to hear them. At least we can agree that the majority are straight, right?

    Wheel of Time

    It's important to understand that it's not just "willingness", shitting it up is the point. This isn't a case of some retard thinking he can improve on the source material. It's about deliberately making changes to piss off the mostly straight/white fanbase. What I don't get are people who...

    I wouldn't mind a remake if it was quality and they directly adapted the graphic novel. Zero need for a remake that is a copy of the original movie, or a new version.

    Early onset dementia? Or just a lame attempt at a joke? I'm genuinely curious.

    Wheel of Time

    It's only been like 3000 years since the Breaking. Even if it was 30,000 I am pretty sure that's not long enough for evolution to change skin color, but I'm no expert. They didn't make all the Aiel blek, they just had to make Aviendha blek to diversify Rand's harem. Which of course, makes it...

    Wheel of Time

    It made perfect sense in the books. The Aiel were not indigenous desert people, they fled there after the Breaking. And staying there became part of their culture. There's also a lore reason for the veiling. How does someone who read the books not know this? Didn't finish?

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Resting is just another dumb mechanic. But, "realistically" long resting after each encounter makes sense. Because you are on a "game" map that you can travel from one end to the other in minutes walking, or just use a waypoint. The game doesn't try to represent the actual travel distance of...

    Or someone could just make a mod to remove the need for camping supplies, since it's such a useless and pointless mechanic that only exists so you have to pick up food.

    Wheel of Time

    I watched the first season. I already had an idea from internet shit that it that it was going to be kinda bad, but I like fantasy and I'm not really a huge fan of the story, mostly just the world/lore, so I thought maybe it would be watchable. What I found instead was a show that made the...

    A lot of the magic shit in EotW is a bit iffy, and ambiguous, and was changed and fleshed out later. Also, this show is ass.

    Wheel of Time

    Well, that "encounter" with Ba'alz wasn't a "fight" and I was specifically referring to the fight in Falme that was projected into the sky, which isn't in the first book. And I only even bothered to mention it so I could have an excuse to once again shit on this shitty series. The only real...

    Wheel of Time

    It was. That was Ba'alzamon/Ishamael. But, it didn't happen in the first book. At the EotW they fight two completely different Forsaken. Also, the only thing from the last episode of Season 1 that actually happened in the books was that the Trollocs attacked at Tarwin's Gap. We're not even...

    Yeah, they get some average looking actress to play a character who's supposed to be like the hottest chic who ever lived... And when you compare her to the rest of the cast, it works.

    Both NWN games had toolkits, but the second one was a bit more advanced/complicated, I think due to the different engine.
