Handicaps won't be on the menu.

Sounds like another brilliant way to extend content dev timelines while continuing to bilk fanboys. Kick back and relax, guys. We'll do it next year.

I just read it at WHY POST-MILLENNIAL MOVIES ARE SO BAD by Rob Ager instead.

I yearn for days long past, when publishers and processors held the grandiose designs of these delusionaries in check.

Good choice, because this movie sucked. The plot is just a tangled string of ridiculous contrivances. I've never read the story but I can't imagine the movie is a very faithful adaptation.

Picard just doesn't do this justice, need an icon for ol' Chuck too.

Don't forget "too cheap" and "all-around incompetent".

One of the most basic player interactions never intended, but game's still a sandbox, right? Right!?

Only the backers deep into RSI-CIG's gravity wishing well will live to see release, while the rest of us observing from an impartial reference frame will be long gone.

You're not wrong. It's drab and sterile. Where there's color it's usually only blue and orange, like the palette of a poster for some forgettable sci-fi movie. Even Roberts' abominable Wing Commander movie from 1999 had more personality.

Yeah, let's celebrate garbage games made by fools themselves because the bar needs to be any lower than it already is. uh-huh... TSM Kripp Albion Online Until ~1:30AM EDT! http://bit.ly/AlbionKripp (Sponsored)

The Book of Bunny Suicides: Little Fluffy Rabbits Who Just Don't Want to Live Anymore

It's not. It's from a German company called Sandbox Interactive (as if they expected the name alone to imbue their product with the qualities it describes). The AO devs are just a band of incompetent millennials who transplant concepts from games they like (namely EVE) into their own...

Anyone know the status of Squander 42?

There wasn't quite the same incentive to cheat during beta as there is now that it's launched.

For anyone still on the fence, be advised they launched this game with absolutely no anticheat protection. They didn't even so much as checksum their (only partially obfuscated) managed assemblies, the bare minimum of effort. Speedhacks, zoomhacks, teleports, attack/ability range hacks, bots...

She just had to be the subject of his dangling participle.

Ava DuVernay’s 'A Wrinkle in Time' Is the Ultimate Adaptation Stop this swiftly tilting planet, I want to get off.

Title: A Wrinkle in Time Genre: Adventure, Family, Fantasy Director: Ava DuVernay Cast: Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Chris Pine, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Zach Galifianakis, Michael Peña, Levi Miller, Deric McCabe, André Holland, Rowan Blanchard, Will McCormack...

That in itself is the problem. The "evergreen via expansions" approach doesn't make for good persistent games and I defy anyone to name a long-running MMO that's undergone years of content accretion and experimentation without becoming an abomination begging to be put out of its misery.

It's nice to see a bit of Russian collusion that's actually plausible for a change.

But the devs decided these traits are best represented by bearded bobblehead baby graphics, huh. Of all the ways to sabotage your chances at success, an aesthetics-gameplay mismatch has to be the dumbest.

Random UO anecdote #1 Thankfully, Garriott had little to do with UO, else I doubt it would've turned out as well.

I pity the youth of today.

Yeah that'd surely be an improvement, but it's still an unsuitable concept regardless the representation. It'd make sense in a vehicle-based game (e.g. mechs), but not one in which the player is flesh and blood. Humans don't spend time managing the operational status of their limbs when they're...

The only thing more fun than a cooldown management simulator is an HP bar one. This game is going places.

The greasier the shit, the easier it goes up in flames. Those are the only ashes I expect to be created by this venture.

Apparently he had to pass the "entrance" exam first.

So what you're saying is that they're too incompetent to realize that they've bit off more than they can chew.

EQ went from concept to release in under 3 years with a similar team size, less than half the budget, and without an off-the-shelf engine, middleware, and sundry other technological improvements that have streamlined the dev pipeline of online games over the last two decades. These guys are...

Mischaracterizing your petty outrage as a struggle against "thieves" in order to influence public opinion is just a different means to the same end. Heed Remmy's warning lest you too fall victim to that nefarious Icelandic crime ring known as CCP!
