    New World

    Been playing for a couple of days, I like it so far. But that doesn't mean much, a lot of mmos do the beginning well.

    Win 10 had/has it's issues but it's very good imo. I really liked 7, didn't want to move but would never go back now. Win 10 is just much easier to use. You might as well upgrade. Your issues are going to become a way of life the longer you hold out. Nothing in computer world stands still.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    For a filthy casual who doesn't give a fuck, is there any reason to play before 10/27?

    Guild Wars 2

    Griffon is game changing and worth the effort and cost imo. The quests are fun too. But once you have that the skyscale seems like a gimmick. It's quite a grind also, or was last time I played in those areas. Never finished the quests. Will someday I suppose. I'm sure the skyscale has it's...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I have 3 good monitors already but the 49" is tempting. And AMD is definitely worth looking into, which is just another reason to potentially skip these behemoths.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Not sure I'll bite on this generation. It all seems a bit much with the power requirements, cooling requirements, size and cost. Will have to see what the reviewers say. Wanted to build a new machine in the next 6 months or so but still not liking the cpu/gpu choices. Especially considering I...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I have the strix 2080. Big ass card and it just fits into my case, which is bigger than most. I have a hard time believing that the 3080 will require major upgrades in other pc components. Not a great way to sell cards.

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    Gal Gadot can just stand around posing and I would probably pay for it.

    The Batman

    Was thinking about that process in superhero stories. New artists and writers reimagine superheros all the time in the comics. Many times to great effect and in ways that permanently change the character. But doing it in the movies seemed wrong to me at first. Soo many Spiderman retakes. But...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Fuckers. I'm the kind of geek who will buy this now just because of raytracing. Had zero interest otherwise. And like every other time I played WoW, will quit after a couple of months.

    Guild Wars 2

    Yeah, the personal story in the base game is really bad. Can't click through it fast enough. Disappointing too, since the story was pretty good in GW1. The story and presentation does get better in the xpacs and other episodes. Jumping puzzles are one of the things I really like about GW2. But...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    This fucking "game". It will never release in any way, shape or form of what was originally promised. I didn't give him any money, but that is only because of laziness and luck. If I had gotten of the couch back then, he would have tapped my wallet too. But I would still buy this game if it...

    Season 1 was so bad I quit watching TNG after a few episodes when it first came out. Wouldn't even give it a chance for a few years. And I grew up on the original, Kirk was my childhood hero, so was very much looking forward to TNG before it launched. Friends of mine would have TNG watch parties...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I have a bunch of mounts from collector's editons etc. Favorite to ride is the Senche-raht. Big, ugly rat cat looking thing. Not the best looking mount I have but for some reason it seems much easier to maneuver, turn, jump up walls, etc. Even seems faster. Probably just an illusion but...

    Phantasy Star Online 2

    Graphics / action look decent. Might give this a go tomorrow when it hits steam. Try something different. It's been a long, boring summer.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I think your emotional maturity could use some work if you really believe what you said. And WoW and GW2 merged would also make it a different game. Which pretty much kills your argument.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Really? Are you such a WoW fanboy that you can't understand why some people don't like WoW and may like ESO instead? They are different games. Being in the same genre doesn't make them mirror images. And it is possible to like both games, but for different reasons. Just because I like...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I liked 7, still do. Even though 7 wasn't original, it was fun. And the first time I saw 8, was mildly entertained. Mostly because of the effects in 3D on a big screen but I thought it was a Star Wars movie at the time. And to me a big reason for Star Wars movies is to sell toys. 8 seemed like a...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Also has a decent RvR game. Matt Firor (DAOC) has a lot to do with that. The questing and lore is better than most, with good voice acting, etc. Generally I skip through quest dialogue as fast as possible, but in ESO I actually pay attention, sometimes.

    Guild Wars 2

    Base game is free. Think you get Heart of Thorns free if you buy Path of Fire. Those are the two expansions. There is a bunch of Seasonal content that you can get free by logging in when they release the next chapter / episode. If you miss that log in window the you have to buy it. Expansions...

    Guild Wars 2

    Next chapter, Jormag Rising, is available in GW2. Log in soon to get it free, not sure how much longer it will be there.

    Taking Shatner's side here because I understand his confusion. Before watching the Picard Re:Views, I didn't know what RLM was. And still haven't really watched much of their videos. They would still be a non-entity for me if I hadn't wandered into this thread. Which was a pretty cool find, btw...

    The Walking Dead

    I never made it past season 5. Lot of my friends stopped around there too. Not because season 5 was bad or anything in particular though. Just wasn't new anymore. Most series have the same problem, even if they still hold high production values the concept itself starts to get old.

    Lol. That may be what you wanted to hear, but that was never what I said. In fact, quite the opposite. You obviously have issues with reading comprehension, so I'll stop here.

    Star Trek: Picard

    You didn't watch TOS, or apparently any other Trek, since you are so obviously wrong. Technobabble evolved from a throw away quicky to the season long bs sessions they have become today. Ask any engineer or scientist that was inspired by the original Trek and they will tell you the same thing.

    Star Trek: Picard

    The later series have zero science, logic or reason. Only technobabble. Which many idiots believe is all that Trek is or was about. There was more intelligence in the early series but that was lost as the new writers fell into the same trap. But that isn't just a problem with Trek. Hollywood as...

    Star Trek: Picard

    TOS has some actual science in their fiction. Not much, but much more than any other show at the time. That is why so many young people were inspired by TOS to become engineers and scientists. 2nd Gen also had a few intelligent shows where science came in to play but it was an afterthought...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    ESO is one of the more popular MMO's. Hard to say who has the most concurrent player numbers now, FFXIV, ESO or WoW. Probabably FFXIV at this point since WoW has seen a huge decline over the years. But ESO is up there along with them. They say 15 million people have bought ESO over the years...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Sub gives access to DLC's, not expansions afaik. When I'm playing this game i always sub. But for the crafting bag / double storage mainly. You also get the xp / research bonuses, etc.. But if you craft then that bag is gold. I'm sure there is an argument to be had about "THAT'S HIGHWAY...

    Just realized they could have built an actual spaceship with the money donated so far. Hopium pixels win over reality.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    ESO has tons of systems to grind and a lot of story content. I putz around in it a couple of months a year or so. Never really get that far, always end up getting sucked into the crafting grind then get bored and leave. Only to come back a year or so later. I have a few toons up to mid levels...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    One of my 980s finally gave up the ghost so picked up a 2080 rtx. Great card, runs everything I play at 1440 and nvidia surround much better than the 980's in sli. But don't really use the rtx, most of the games I play don't support it. Those that do, the card struggles in rtx at the resolutions...

    In their defense, none of the leveling content in ESO or WoW is challenging either.

    I blame you all for me watching the Picard Re:Views instead of the actual show. Thank you. Seeing Rich in misery is so much more enjoyable than experiencing it myself.

    Foundation

    Haven't read these books in decades, just vaguely remember it. So wouldn't be too disappointed in any changes they might make if these times were typical. But Hollywood is pushing out a never ending shitstorm of woke crap. Especially in the sci fi arena. Have serious doubts that this wouldn't...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    If I knew, I would be making it. Didn't know what a fps was when I started playing Doom. Didn't know what a mmo was when I started playing EQ. Eventually there will be a new genre, hopefully soon.

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    It really depends on your tastes. WoW is the best if you like that type of mmorpg. But there are billions of people who don't like it. Personally, I'm pretty much done with any mmorpg that does the quest fetch thing, and mmorpg's in general. Been there, done that for 20 years. It's time for...
