There will never be an S-tier ARPG, they've been played-out for over 20 years now. Every entry in this deadend genre is immediately reduced to meta considerations of builds and equipment loadouts because the actual gameplay has such little significance in the design. I can imagine a future ARPG...

"We just fuck things up if you noticed" is Blizzard's company motto at this point.

Sounds to me like a lot of whining from middle-aged men who won't fight because they have too much to lose.

This game's strange name perfectly encapsulates how weird, gay, and stupid mobile games are.

Changing the numbering scheme is another coping mechanism for creative hacks to convince themselves they’re still doing original work.

Blizzard dev probably going to announce official HC servers tomorrow after this event. That or he's transitioning. It's a 59/41% chance.

Game was already stale and sterile long before the woke bullshit started to seep in. WoW and other vertical-progression, themepark-style games rapidly go stale, it's unavoidable. HC is interesting because it's at odds with elements of the game's design that were thought to be set in stone, so...

Just remember, 99% of the time a game has “fall” in its title it’s bound to be trash.

Although the concept of achievements is gay and normally engenders pathetic degeneracy, they actually suit this otherwise meaningless task well. It's not very "hardcore" to tiptoe your way along the path of least resistance to 60, there should be incentives that promote risk-taking and...

Can't imagine any sane person wanting to play a healer in a group role in a game where taking damage is just a matter of course and now permadeath is on the table.

As he said, at least single-player games have a defined conclusion. So it comes down to whether you enjoy being the rat in a maze or the hamster on a wheel (or for our Asian MMO fans, the gerbil up Richard Gere's ass).

WoW was never what you'd call a sandbox game. It's derived from EQ, and EQ in turn is descended from a category of MUDs in which the world merely plays backdrop to a monster-bashing simulation and players have no ability or tools to do anything meaningful outside that context. The focus on...

Was being diddled in the back room of Mr. Miyagi's dojo the reason you now enjoy these "Asian stylings"? As for MoP, the entire concept started as a joke that was seemingly developed into an exercise in humiliating Blizzard's pathetic fanbase while they sat in the Cosby Suite laughing their...

Asian MMOs have been trash since the very start and always will be. If the gacha grinder garbage isn't enough to turn off a normal Westerner, it's the faggot weeb stylizations comically mismatched with plagiarized Western fantasy themes that does it.

It’s like speedrunning, just another silly self-imposed challenge by degenerates who can’t move on from an otherwise stale game.

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...
