    Everquest II

    Did EQ2 offer any kind of progression between expansions or was it just about leveling to the next tier as fast as possible, like WOW? I'm just kind of curious because I doubt I can play super hardcore and 16 weeks feels limited for an expansion, unless you go hardcore.

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    So I'm totally on the VR hype train now. Finally got around to playing Beat Saber and man were you guys not kidding - very addicting. I'm looking forward to putting some custom songs in there, though. A lot of it is pretty generic, and all-around bland. Otherwise, awesome! As a person who...

    Normal Vive. Pro doesn't seem worth the price tag yet.

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    Woo, VR is working great; doesn't make me nauseous at all. Only thing that surprises me is that when you wear the display it's not as high of resolution as I hoped. It always has that screen-door effect.

    Anarchy Online Progression Server

    Uh, apparently this randomly went live already without prior announcement as to the launch date. Funcom, man...jesus. Anyway, looks like a typical prog server with a very limited shop(though, you do have to sub).

    Anarchy Online Progression Server

    The classes were pretty interesting. Bureaucrat and Metaphysicist in particular were a blast. The skill system was a lot of fun too. Twinking in the earlier days could get wild with the right buffs. I might be checking it out for that nice little dose of nostalgia.

    Retro Game Of The Month ~- CONTRA -~ NES - Feb

    Contra Force wasn't even originally supposed to be a Contra. They just tried to ape off the Contra license and failed terribly(it's notoriously bad). Best to jump to Contra 3: The Alien War. Super C is also an option but it's not for everyone.

    2018-19 NHL Season Thread - Caps were not suck last year edition

    Nyquist to SJ for a second and a conditional third. DET also retained 30% of his salary. SJ now has 9 forwards over 40 points. I am pleased.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    The reality is that even if they get this out, there is no way they will have enough content or a consistent enough content cycle to keep it interesting. MMOs take an ungodly amount of production time, staff, and money to work.

    JRPGs

    This is really the crux for me. Modern JRPGS have really gone nuts with poorly handled exposition. All of the Persona games, though great, do this in spades. I find myself wishing the last 40 hours of these 100 hour games would just end. Some of the great RPGs of the SNES era were like 30-35...

    JRPGs

    Pretty fucking bitter that they have only announced the improved music for the Switch version so far. That 16bit mode looks pretty legit too, for those of us who have some nostalgia for the older DQ look.

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    FF5 has fantastic combat; the class system is a blast. I think it's probably the most underrated FF, as no one ever talks about it.

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I disagree on that having nothing to do with the fall of the series. Half-baked game design and shitty artistic decisions are a huge part of why Final Fantasy has taken a turn for the worst. That started with FF8. Though, I don't disagree that all of the things you mentioned in FF12-15 aren't...

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    My guess is that the popularity of Kingdom Hearts 3 will do more to propel the future design decisions of Final Fantasy than anything else. It's a sad time. I still blame FF8 for 90% of this lame nonsense. That god damn game created this weird splinter cult of weeby FF fans who have cheered...

    I played this on the Switch back when I was working remotely and it was fuckin great. Perfect Metroid throwback, and astonishing that it was made by one person.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The real bummer for me is that this all has to go down in the expansion that features BOTH Azshara and N'zoth. Somehow I KNEW they would end up wetting the bed with their stories(look what they did to the Emerald Dream). Anything that isn't The Burning Legion gets such a lack of attention...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Meh, I'd be fine with WoW if they'd just get over all the god damn RNG alongside gating. Also sack Azerite armor and make the neck work the same as the Artifact weapon.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Just give me a game world with hard-roles(classes) where you feel needed and unique, no gating, a million old sebs(with no raiding), and let me camp some shit with my friends. Oh, and bring back a faction system that matters and isn't boring.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    FF14 is meh. It's not bad but it's only appealing because it has so much shit to burn through. If it were interesting enough for you to play over WoW, you would have. They both have retarded gating, in their own way. The real truth is that no current MMO is worth playing, and it's a fucking...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is currently my biggest point of contention with the game. If these fucks would just let me grind the way I wanted to, when I wanted to, I would be fine with it. Putting all of the progression behind homework timers is the absolute worst.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Just the lack of any kind of distinctly memorable music that you would tie to a specific race. I do like the games music, though. I was just listing characteristics of a races identity. Variations in models, lore, music are what came to mind.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The "cartoony" look has far more charm to me than a generic unibody models that is barely reshaped across 6 bland races who have a total lack of distinction between them and all look like super models. Armor not properly fitting is something that doesn't bother me very much as EVERY game has it...

    BRD was probably what I had the most fun with, but it still left me wanting. It's just not for me, I suppose. Bummer.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm actually completely cynical about WoW at this point, but I can't deny that they do combat and art better than anyone else. I'm guessing you're the type that thinks games like BDO look good, though. I do not. The weeb is far too strong. I do appreciate that someone can't leverage an...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    WoW models are lower res, but there is FAR more diversity of models and animations. The characters don't all look like super models either, and each offer a far more unique charm. FF14 is more derivative and way too clean. I'm talking less about the motion capture and poly count and more about...
