    Ashes of Creation

    I am in love with the potential of it all, the world, the changing seasons, and potential of the nodes, different levels of challenge/spawns, and the class system/mix. Realistically they have many a slip betwixt the cup and the lips to prove they can come up with systems to maximize any/all of...

    Ashes of Creation

    Supposedly in this game they incentivize you to fight back but what does that even mean when the gank squads are rolling vs unprepped PVE players i.e. bluebees? Many of the gankers don't enjoy fair/good fights but merciless one-sided slaughter; not all of couse, and sure there are PVPers who...

    Ashes of Creation

    That was one of the best part of EQ, the roaming high level mobs in zones. One of the best memories from early in EQ was when we started in Qeynos and were making the trek across Antonica through Highpass and one of my buddies got out in front of the group and found one of the wandering...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I would completely disagree; I think early on, the writing and world building was excellent. While there are some broad-stroke similarities to Halo, Destiny obliviously is very different. I think one of the things Bungie has always done well is the narrative/world building; Myth:TFL, Marathon...

    Welp says it all, man. Thanks for saving me the heart ache. Here's to holding out for Ashes or something like it to put the genie back in the bottle.

    Guild Wars 2

    So much of A.net is diversity these days ( and I say these days, I have checked out on the game for a while) I keep coming back but nothing captures that magic feeling at launch for me. Easily my favorite MMO of all time and Heart of Thorns my least favorite expansion. I straight leveled 5...

    Dune Awakening

    It's jus It's just like the Lynch movie then. TSW was an A+ concept for an MMO with a C+/B- execution. Funcom itself was the final boss. Edit: I dearly loved TSW, its one of my favorite "MMO"s of all time but the reason it wasn't bigger was because of its Funcom-isms.

    I think Bolivar is still fucking destroyed but if you have seen one coastal plain you have seen them all, at least on the Upper Texas Coast. I grew up coming to the beach from that side. It used to be cool when Crystal Beach was a thing; they had an awesome old hamburger stand over there O.K...

    $869 3080 TI/$700+ 6900XT; I got my 2080TI at the end of the last crypto boom and and it served me through this one, and got a 3080 12GB as insurance for the upcoming launches. Prices may go down a little more but unless you are talking about EBay, I don't know how much. Cards don't become...

    Ashes of Creation

    I played with PRX for a while in ESO; those guys were not the same. I have just really started paying attention to Ashes via Lazy Peon and while the PVP-centric nature of it makes it a little iffy for me, EVERYTHING ELSE seems amazing. Launch GW2 was my favorite MMO of all time, and they have...

    Tower of Fantasy

    I played to about the same place Lvl 25/26. There are all kinds of puzzles in the ruins and a few out in the open world. The UI is obviously made to some low, mobile device standards; so many useless onscreen menus. I was trying to solve a puzzle in one of the Banges ruins involving a box with...

    Tower of Fantasy

    Got through the "tutorial" part of the intro, it really seems like Ubisoft designed an MMO with the idea to extra maximum value from the customer. We'll see if its fun for more than a couple of days. Combat is pretty fun, soo many activities and collectibles: in GW2 it feels fun, in this game...

    There was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherwood_(2019_TV_series) but that was animated and stars a redhead female, so is part of the White Supremist Patriarchy (Despite the show being full on socialist agiprop about the 1% and the showrunners being two white women) and must be destroyed.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    That was a big part of the design problem, I think: How do you monetize something that people didn't get to see you wearing, that only you spent time looking at unless you were on the fucked up world maps with them? It was that disconnect that they couldn't bridge; they had one social area...

    I remember when J J Abrams and Bad Reboot wasn't the kiss of death. WTF happened to him? This dude is literally the reverse King Midas. Everything he touches he race and gender-swaps. Also, fuck this dude for using a Non-standard English character in every letter of his name: Ṣọpẹ Dìrísù .

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    They made her more manly and square jawed for the sequel, I know. Previous comments seemed to indicate that this ugging-up was also retroactively included in the original game at some point. I haven't played since the Frozen North? DLC. I was looking forward to the sequel until they showed...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    There is a lot more to the narrative than meets the eye. I am not sensitive to spoilers but this game has to be experienced to understand it and a lot of things come into focus about halfway through. It's good to great, even with all of the other stuff that has already been mentioned. The...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    I am super sensitive to that stuff and managed to get through with a few eyerolls. I played it on PS4 Pro on release, though, so maybe there was less SJW Woke BS in the world when we did it the first time. I still have picked up the sequel because they fucked up her face and as I understand...

    It isn't that the presence of gays or blacks or interracial couples (although if you ask in the black community, you are going to get moderate/severe pushback on that: Black women hate black men dating outside their racial group and black women tend to not date as much out of their racial group...

    Look at all the people in this thread bowing down for scraps from the Woke table. Of course the underlying story is "still good": It's one of the great comic stories OF ALL TIME. All the Woke window dressing/ virtue signaling in the world would have a hard time changing that. Black...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    IIRC The game that we played was made in like 18 months after 5-6 years of various scrapped development cycles. So much of it was bullshit, though. The world sucked because someone was married to the idea of traversing environments, and you had to have all of these different environment...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Kinda, although while I love Henry as live action Geralt, in-game Geralt will always be who I see when I read the books. Plus they try so hard to make the show have three equal leads, really the books are about Geralt and Ciri full stop. The Poles don't give a shit about PC/SJW/Woke BS. The...

    Serious question: Did they treat them like rental cars? Did they run them hot and heavy? I thought the miner way was to ostensibly undervolt and run them low and slow to minimize power use.
