    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Dude, leveling in groups in EQ was not some magically difficult experience either. Otherwise those mouthbreathers would have never made it to raiding to begin with. EQ is, was, and always will be a joke on every level. Sorry to shit on your rose colored nostalgia, but it's true.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Yeah, I don't play games for a challenge. I play them to consume content. You cannot design aroundsomethinglike me or people who are insanely good at games. I do think they need to build MMOs around making them more about the unique social aspects. EQ's designs are absolutelynotthe way to go...

    Kudos EA - Worst Company in America two years running

    Frankly I think shit like this is disgraceful. EA is small potatoes compared to people who have done real damage to our economy or the various infrastructures of our country and that people are so blind to vote for a pure 100% luxury video game company over them is disgusting.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Yeah, that's why we went from the top #1 guild in EQ to one that did dick all. The vast majority of our EQ members were warm bodies who were carried. When we moved over to WoW most of them just could not cut it and it was far too much for them. Hell, most of our good members in WoW did barely...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Or like the vast majority of EQ raiders, who were god fucking awful, you got carried by the handful of people who knew how to position boss mobs and rode coattails for the entire game. EQ was not some bastion of skilled top people only making progress. EQ raids were fucking jokes that always...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    You're making a mistake there. There's not ever going to be anything challenging in an MMO for the mentally ill (me) or crazy good people and designing around them in any way hurts the experience for everyone else. You shouldn't design around your top 1% or even your top 5%. I wouldn't design...

    Bioshock Infinite

    There's a couple changes, supposedly. I think there's some minor dialogue differences and it changes Elizabeth's necklace. The other change is that supposedly instead of Elizabeth giving you coins when you choose the bird she gives you lockpicks when you choose the cage.

    Except we know this won't happen, Indie devs have flat out said that Sony is supporting them and that they don't like working with Microsoft at all and find it to be extremely frustrating. There's no way that the X720 is going to have a huge indie community.

    The interview with one of the Japanese guys on the team for them really pissed me off. They basically won't release over here due to low Vita sales, but the Vita won't fucking sell until they start releasing games here. Sony really needs to force these guys to localize titles if they want the...

    Dark Souls 2

    My favorite weapon in Dark Souls by far was the Black Knight Great Axe. It had a very unique moveset and swing arc and was just plain fun to play with (and raped face). Sword lovers be crazy. In Demon Souls the Tower Shield + Spear combo and/or Bow Exploiting ruled all. The bow was just...

    I think budgets are going to belessof an issue this next generation. The X720 and PS4 being X86 architecture is an absolutely huge boon to game developers. That is such a ridiculously massive cost cutter for multiplatform development. Development costs for the X360 and PS3 titles have been so...

    Yeah, those prices are dumb. A 2 Year Contract model shouldn't be anymore than $99.99 or people won't buy into it. Sony's base model is probably going to be $399.99 to $429.99 and I doubt they're going to go with another SKU unless it includes game pack ins.

    Yeah, a monopoly would be the worst thing possible. The best situation would be all 3 being competitive with each other, but sadly that won't be the case so the best we can hope for is Microsoft and Sony being competitive. And Thorne, waiting to see isstupid. If they're fishing for how the...

    That's the only logical conclusion one can draw from "Always Online" based on what it does for the consumer Vs. what it does for the company. Plus, fuck "visions." Anyone who has ever pulled out that word in the history of gaming has been completely full of shit. It was even included in the...

    I don't typically go into anything with any expectations, most stuff I watch fairly blind or with a quick skim to see who made it or its general genre. I'll also watch damned near anything, but I felt that the first episode of this was justbad.

    Oh please, their only "vision" is to fuck the consumer over. There is absolutely nothing that Always Online does for the consumer and it is purely a corporate greed thing. It's draconian DRM that won't give us any benefit what so ever, only inconvenience us, while giving them some idiotically...
