    Destiny

    I saw that last night, it looks amazing. They refer to it as a "shared world" or "open world" FPS. It's not totally a MMO, but very close. Regardless it sounds impressive. Ubisoft is coming out with one too. Has no title yet, but there is a gameplay video. I guess "open world" is the...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    One thing about having all the heroes is that you get to try them. I wanted to play a range character after getting my Ms Marvel through the storyline, mostly as a melee. I tried Jean Gray up to level 6 and didn't like her, then I tried Scarlet Witch to 3 and wasn't sure, so tried Rocket Raccoon...

    Bruins played great, Pens didn't show up. Never expected this serie tob done in 4. I wonder if anyone misses Tim Thomas in Boston right now.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Emma Frost, Nova, Human Torch and Squirrel Girl are listed in ultimate pack but not avaiable yet, so they are probably next.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I like the concept, I'm not so sure about the execution. Another tier ounces really bad to me. Being a somewhat casual player, I definitely like the idea of having a guild made of friends, that can raid wether 10 or 15 are online without having to recruit people we don't like just to fill out...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I don't think the reward is according to how you paid. The game was down twice for the ultimate pack people and once for the founder's pack. So basically you get 1000Gs per day down. Hopefully they'll introduce something worth buying for Ultimate Pack user. I have all the heroes, all the...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Don't quote me on this, but I believe it only reset the current chapter. If you're in the middle of chapter 6, and a new character at chapter 1, you can still warp back to the previous character at chapter 6 but you will be at the beginning of it.

    It's the only thing to look forward to at this point. For me personally, I don't mind WoW clones all that much, as I still enjoy that type of gameplay. Now, having said that, I think that this is less of a WoW clone, then it is an evolution of WoW. From all the info that was released, it...

    There is a post on the betacake forums taken from the beta forums about combat balance. Long post about their plans for CBT2, CBT3 and CBT4. The short of it, there is balancing left to be done in terms of difficulty and duration of fights.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Well after 6 days, well make that 4 since 2 were down for me, I am level 24 starting the chapter before last(8 I think). I am still having a lot of fun with Ms. Marvel. I am liking the options between range and melee, she's pretty viable in both. Although you cannot only do range as her basic...

    There are no group or pvp video right now. As for balance from a gameplay video, it's hard to say...most of the video out there though are developers playing, and they are in invincible mode and not taking any damage.

    It's not necessary a "great" game, but I find it to be definitely a lot of fun. It's great to play for a few hours here and there, especially if you like playing alts.

    I'm reading some of the healing spells, and while there seem to be regular targeted heals...there are a lot of heals that require freeform targeting, people running into specific areas for heals, or even the healer running around marking players for a heal when the effect wears off. They...

    While there's probably obsolete skills in there, and without the actual numbers, and general idea of combat flow. What I like is that combined with the limited action set, there could be a lot of different builds. Full heal, full dps, full utility, heal/dps, heal/utility, dps. dps/heal...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    They mentioned in a video that classes had about 30 skills, this list 50-90 skills per class so there is probably a lot of skills that are obsolete. It still gives us a good idea of the medic and engineer...and of the other classes too for that matter.

    Venturebeat: Blizzard delays unannounced MMO until 2016, resets whole project

    I think it would be more accurate to say, that the next Blizzard MMO will be a huge disapointment, but make Blizzard a shitload of money anyways just like Diablo 3.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    There's two broad lines of complaints against the game that I see so far... One is generally aimed at the devs, about how they are lying about the game, the features, how far along the game is, etc...I can't comment about any of that, I'm not in the secret of the gods. The second line of...

    Venturebeat: Blizzard delays unannounced MMO until 2016, resets whole project

    I think someone said it best earlier when he said that blizzard simply had nothing to iterate upon since wow's release. Blizzard has never been known to be innovative, they always shined at iterating on successful and refining them to close to perfection. The same happened with D3, they...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    I enjoyed Rift for about 6 months or so, got 3 characters to 50, did some raiding and stuff...but there was always something missing about the game. On paper it looks like I should have loved this game way more then I did, never really figured out what felt off about the game. I still...

    I doubt I'll be raiding much, I'm a grumpy old man who has trouble finding 10 people I enjoy playing with enough to do 10 man raids in WoW. So 40 man is likely 30 people too many. I usually always end up raiding a little though if only to see what it's like in each game I play. So who...

    I have no favorite in this series, but I hope Detroit wins to see the shit hit the fan tonight and tomorrow on every single hockey site. If Chicago wins it will be quickly forgotten, a Detroit win will be so entertaining.

    I think E3 will be the last big opportunity for reveal. Pax Prime and Gamescon are in late August which might be a bit late for reveals if its gonna release in 2013. I am guessing we won't hear much till E3, although ass mentioned I am not sure they are going,but seem to remember reading...

    Some fun sounding idea in there Draegan. The other thing they could do is offer more reward the better you defeat the encounter...no deaths, less people, under a certain time, etc... That way they could tune the encounter with more leeway for mistakes, but still have incentive to perform...

    I am a bit concerned about their ability to deliver content after launch. At least to the extent that they seem to want to. For now, I hope they deliver on their promise for launch and that the game is fun enough to play for a few months. I'll worry about the patch content afterwards. If...

    This is an intriguing piece of information about crafting. We have methods of allowing crafters to find their niche that will make it better if your guild has more crafters, so that they can diversify. You won't be able to cover all of the possibilities of Weaponsmith, for example, without 5...

    Warcraft Adventures Starcraft: Ghost Titan I wonder if the recent loss of customers had an impact on this decision. Was titan heading in the same direction that WOW has been going recently in term of design philosophy?

    Yeah all class are either tank/dps or heal/dps. I'm not sure that will solve anything though, since the problem is that the majority of people don't like tanking or healing. I mean WoW had groups looking for tanks even though there were druids, warriors, dk, or paladin in the group already.

    I agree, just saying that on a personal level it never was an issue. I generally play a tank, my best friend who usually plays with me is generally a healer so grouping is never an issue.

    40 man raids is about the only thing I think is a bad idea. Especially considering most guilds now are setup for 10 or 25...it will require a lot of restructuring for some of the existing guild that will move to the game. No game is perfect.
