EQ PvP might be terrible but it fixes more problems than it creates and adds a little spice to an otherwise bland game. Note I only hold this opinion toward authentic EQ, not any of the various PVP-centric “funservers” run by and for degenerate pillheads.

Red 2.0 when?

That’s all Blizzard and their contemporaries have been doing for a long time now. During the development of D3 I remember seeing Jay “Double My Chins” Wilson and Co. talk down to us like junior behavioral scientists describing what we’re supposed to find fun. That’s when I realized the good ol’...

It’s what happens when nerds read fantasy books to the exclusion of history books.

Speaking of dumb things that define Korean RPGs, every one of them is thematically cribbed from Western mythos with their only contribution being Japanese knockoffs that look like budget pokemons and discount catgirls. Apparently the sum of their native culture isn't enough to support even a...

Just those who want a more seamless illusion of control over their videogame character. Maybe you prefer a more asynchronous style so you have time to post dumbass responses inbetween.

Any significant amount of animation locking will always feel bad as long as the human interface continues to just be some peripheral you operate with your hands, and this disconnect only increases with the detail of the physics model. I'd gladly leave a lot of "realism" to the imagination if it...

Trans women are women after all :honkler:

Substitute societal for guild and it's still true.

Any game with any variation of "fall" in the title, especially an MMO, is guaranteed trash.

You've only arrived as a "game developer" when you've dolled up your otherwise B-movie grade material with enough critically acclaimed tropes to catch the eye of a major TV production company.

Judging by this thread it’s for 40-year old men instead.

More like case in point:

Are you new to the internet? Seriously though, I don’t need firsthand knowledge to support the correct conclusion. Around the time dev studios got too big for their britches and started designating roles like “director” on their AAA-budget productions it became clear that a lot of the “creative...

Haven't played the games nor have I watched the show, but it's plain to see that TLoU is yet another example of a game made by people who'd rather be working in film so it'll never excel as either.

I didn't even have to watch the full trailer to see that it's gay and woke. The art alone gives it away because it has that same queer style to it that pervades most contemporary animation. The characters themselves are a caricature of the progressive Left: baby-faced and non-threatening like...

Also a summary of Blizzard's trajectory.

I think we can safely assume two things: 1) they have fewer than 20 people on WoW Classic 2) most of them are dumber than even amateur private server staff so definitely worthy of a shitty evaluation

Probably because the more familiar a story becomes the harder it is to keep making it scary.

Praying for factors outside your control to align so that your number on a third-party's external website might increase is the pinnacle of successful gameplay in the World of Warcraft.

Your naive notion on the benefits of showcasing moldering stock to drum up business aside, what you're describing only accounts for a quarter of the most recent aid package...

So what you’re saying is that it’s ackshually only tens of billions squandered, not tens of billions. Hang in there, Zelensky, your fleet of 600i Executive-Editions will be arriving soon.

Other defense contractors going to be green with envy when the US government starts buying virtual spaceships from RSI to send over there. Guessing there's a big overlap among SC backers and the #SlavaUkraini crowd who'd cheer their tax dollars being used toward this end.

Yes, WoW has a long history of individual tweaks, bugs, and bug fixes alike causing disproportionate shifts in the class meta across all aspects of the game. Or were you just confused as to why we're discussing WotLK in the World of Warcraft: Classic thread? Either way you're retarded.

Funny how small mechanical changes reveal how fragile the meta stability is in shit games like WoW.

Doubt that was significant even back at the original release.

Not only does the existence of snapshotting reveal the lazy, half-assed way so many mechanics were implemented, it leads to even greater degenerate behavior in the already hopelessly degenerate activity that is DPS parsing.

Modern-day gladiators lol

Title sounds like an apt description of the entire industry.

Doesn't sound like the studio is closing up shop, they'll probably just be pivoting back to a perpetual dev fundraising state to swindle a new generation of idiots.
