    The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot (f2p MMO)

    in the diablo3 for consoles trailer. the blizz dev literally claimed Blizzard invented ARPGs with Diablo. Diablo is one very specific kind of ARPG, and even THAT is based on Rogue-likes and Gauntlet. Zelda for example is also an ARPG. dont you dare say even Diablo is the gold standard of...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    There is a joke in there somewhere I think. one of the reasons the always on nature of these new consoles is so stupid. Back in college, my friends and I went up to Sunday river. stayed a friends lodge for a week. Guess what we brought with us to the place with no cable, no direct TV, etc...

    The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot (f2p MMO)

    who/what gave that talk about making dungeons? fuck I can't remember. I think it was a discussion about indie games. and was about making dungeons in muds? talked about gamers making loot pinatas. Then having trash mobs, and 1 big boss, and people farming trash, and ignoring the loot after...

    Initial obvs. Meh. Ui is bad. Mouse support is pretty terrible. it crashed a few times when I first tried to use the mouse. Ended up just ignoring it, and using keyboard almost entirely. windowed support is pretty weak. Gameplay. combat is basically terraria. Various weapon types...

    The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot (f2p MMO)

    That doesnt look anything like Diablo. Despite what blizzard thinks, Diablo did not invent the ARPG. Also, "mmo" doesnt look appropriate either.

    well... the high end gaming pc is nearly a dead market. you have consoles on one side, and laptops/mobile on the other side. price is driven by supply and demand of course. Gaming PC prices dropped as higher tech became the norm, and more PCs made it into peoples homes. Its been...

    yeah, I think Lithose hit some good points. The industry is huge now. it was much smaller back when. New genres constantly being invented. And while I would never say, no new genres can be created in the future, it will certainly get harder and harder to make new ones. that constant...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    It always amused me the effects of Star trek movies. ST:the motion picture was 79. Wrath of khan 82 Starwars was 77, and empire, 80.

    Wonder woman and Demon knights are the two best. Batman, Inc, if that was not part of your Batman list. Flash, sword of sorcery are good(canceled). Aquaman was pretty good too.

    huh. So hard to balance multiplayer in a game like this. wonder how it will work.

    well. hidden in the sense, everyone thought it was Khan, and they flat out said, "no, its not". so everyone came up with new theories.

    Objectively you are full of shit. They are absolutely better now. Rift is and always was 10times better then WoW was for years. You can make the arguement of wow being better then rift after 3(4?) expansions. but before that? hell no. the state of the industry change is there are...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    not sure suck is what I would use. its like comparing "Battleship" and "Transformers". Neither movie is "good". But, Battleship is what it is. an action set piece. Transformers is poorly made action set pieces, with offensive dialogue crammed in. So Battleship gets a pass for being fun...

    seriously. there is your problem right there. Time is definitely a problem as you get older. Doubt you will find to many 25+ people that will REALLY complain about Bioshocks 11 hours of gameplay and zero replay. But at the same time, what got you into gaming? what kind of game...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Star trek fans who completely ignore the magic bullshit in so may episodes are hilarious. They just want to distance themselves so much from Starwars, Buck rogers, etc.

    not entirely. for handhelds it wasnt really exclusives. which sure helped. it was largely lower tech spec=better battery life, then having cornered the market. brand loyalty. Its been well documented for mmos at this point. and its still true for other games. you play, what your friends...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    hahahahah. perfect. seriously on tech specs though. far too early to tell. raw numbers don't always mean much. SNES was far superior to genesis, but some obscure cache being higher allowed "blast processing" marketing. N64 was more powerful then the ps1. but ps1 had cd roms and a...

    are you guys forgetting how long it takes to generate/load a world in terraria/DF/any of these games? They are just masking it in game, instead of having a loading screen.

    internal consistency is the only really thing that matters. on manuals. "Fantasy writers typically don't do shit like this" holy shit are you fucking way off base. DnD manuals, Tolkien, etc. Of course these guys have manuals they keep hidden on how everything works. The minutia of which...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    You give shonen comics too much credit. like any ongoing. they can just make up new shit, and keep it going forever. hell, they could just say, invaders from another country or shit, if they wanted. time skips, sudden Narutos kid is main character. that said, probably ending.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    or just let him not watch it? none of you are going to suggest its a must watch. since its not a "must see" movie, why are you trying to convince him he must? Pretty enjoyable movie with flaws. almost exactly like the last one.

    Neverwinter: PC

    The rank 1-3 system is one of the dumbest skillup systems I have ever seen. But yeah, rogues are really bad in that, you really pretty much get 4 of the 6 skills you use throughout the game by level 4.

    you are giving TOS WAAAAAY too much credit for not being space fantasy. ffs, how many magical gods were there? I seem to remember them going to wonderland at one point. as well. TNG and beyond got alot more stable, but the TOS didnt give a shit about "prime directive" or actually paying...

    gamers being gamers. Everyone is chasing that high they got the first time. and most mmos are on a 3month cycle of, race to max level, farm content, get bored. The game itself didn't really die. considering it lasted as sub for this long. But still dropped off the radar of course for the...

    not really sure how 3.7m is not less then 3.9m... the language of the article is weak. is 3.7m just brick and mortar?, is it total?, or is it even the wrong number, listing shipped? Would have to see their financial report. but if they are calling that a large profit, then good deal at...

    Bioshock inf didnt sell that well really. 3.9m shipped. which means less actually sold. Considering dev time, and 3rd in series. that is.. kindof terrible really. especially when you consider all the stellar reviews and such. The lessen to learn here is not, good alt games can make...

    underleveled vs outleveled. I don't know. for one, I think leveling in mmos is too fast these days already. The race to max level is something that needs to be broken as well. But aside from that a moment. NWN. far too much XP. quests,crafting, events, skirmish, dungeons, pvp, etc. its...
