Unintentionally! Vanguard rocked inconsequentially! But Pantheon is going to rock intentionally!

I was never making an argument EQ was or wasn't hard. I was pointing out that's yet another argument that goes on forever where each side have made their mind up that a completely black and white, extreme answer is probably correct when that's stupid. It's stupid arguing something so...

Go back and play the original then work your way up to FO4. In a year or two the GOTY edition will be cheap and mods will be matured. Win, win.

No offense to the resident geniuses, but I don't think any of us are really qualified to say with certainly 'mostly' why EQ succeeded. Success and failures of most things in life are more complicated than the few easily explainable things one sees parroted and argued about. So, EQ...

It also sounds dumb, but different people have different preferences. Where do you like to sit in a movie theater? I like to sit 3/4 back, and found myself at about that range of most distance calculates on TV size. Some people like to sit closer, and may be more comfortable being 'engrossed'...

I think part of the problem is that many players can't do this easily, at least not the ones of forums choosing to discuss games more than actually play them. Many of us had our 'holy shit this is amazing' moment and have been chasing that high ever since. But I don't think all people who...

There are no options and no competition for anything at all if you want to look at that singular thing and claim nothing else is like it enough to warrant calling it an option. And I still don't not agree, completely. EQ was the first of its exact kind, which certainly helped it's success...

I said don't try to say there weren't other options. You said no, you didn't have a lot of options... then call me dumb. So, we agree, there WERE other options....? You conveniently ignore the other part of my quote that provides context. That having a ton of time and the lack of...

I guess it's all perspective because I get annoyed when a station is advertising non-ethanol and it's some 87 octane shit that will barely keep my 62 Cadillac running. I guess I've gotten used to seeing non-ethanol advertised and preparing to be gouged for it, but at least getting premium...

Being young enough and dumb/desperate/lonely enough to sink way too much time into a video game isn't a luxury exclusive to the EQ generation. And don't try to say there just weren't any other options back then. There were a TON of games we ignored to play EQ, we just don't remember them...

If you ever see the game for sale at all, much less in a physical box, please consider it an edition worth collecting.

Teach her a lesson by taking your business elsewhere.

Mist.

Call it alpha access and you've got yourself a deal!

I'd like to volunteer as a beta tester: fukin game sux crashed agin lots a lvl of xp wtf enjoy ur game fagits!

Only thing that bothered me was the whole setup that her brother would have died because Liv refused to give her blood. I get that they're wanting that as a side arc and probably redemption story. But kind of absurd to think the hospital didn't have even rare blood on hand. Other than...

Yeah, pretty much. He was in charge of some very grindy content. And even if you didn't mind the grind, the content was shit like robot gnomes named after transformers with lasers and shit. And, even if you didn't mind the grind, and even if you didn't mind laser gnomes, when people gave...

How do you know they aren't going to have a cash shop. It's a great idea. In Pantheon you pay $10 to import a $5 art asset from the Unity store. Not only does Pantheon make a cut as middle man, but the purchaser gets to help contribute to the 'development' of Pantheon!

I consider WoW to be the type of theme park that defines the word. The game constantly tells you where the next best attraction is, leading you around, and with a lot of hard-coded restrictions. Sure, EQ wasn't the skilled-based open-world sandbox that may define the term, but the world and...

That was how long after he brought up how much he's looking forward to getting paid when he's a free agent in two-fucking-years?

In that article linked from Pantheon's own site it says it took EQ 3 years and 8 million to make. Quick math on 45-50% inflation from 96-99? EQ would cost over 12 million and be a year from release right now.

We're on, what, the 4th team now? There was the original that all/mostly left due to Brad taking much of the funding for himself. Then there was a team of random volunteer fanbois. Then there was the 'professional' fuzzy troll team. And now this team? And wasn't the original KS-era team...

Good point. Pantheon will be recycling ideas that Brad couldn't implement properly or widespread in Vanguard with how many tens of millions in budget? Which skill was it that would raise, but nobody ever figured out what it did? That I think was eventually finally cut out of the code...

How exciting would it have been if that were the first we'd heard of Pantheon. This is literally where they should have been when they launched the KS. Instead, it's been like 2 years since we first heard of Pantheon and they've managed to get a company website, a game website, some...

Regarding all the money in 'easy' to make mobile and fremium games, didn't Brad attempt a mobile-gaming startup at one point?

Good thing you no longer solicit a prostitute, but instead just meet your drug addict whore girlfriend for lunch? Best they'll get you on is indecent exposure or possession, right? At least I'm assuming you're not on that list...

Exactly. He's a terrible pimp. He needs to go to Too $hort's Pimp School: https://youtu.be/PNiouO4ut_M Cliff Notes on things he's failing: He deserves a C on breaking a broad, since they were usually already broken for him. A+++ on "keep ya ho" though, or maybe they're keeping him and...

Part of the problem, and it's not even isolated to shyster developers, is that the definitions of alpha and beta keep changing. We see closed betas as basically pre-launch previews. Pre-alpha as a made up thing to make gamers feel they're important and have early access that the gamers just...

Here: Unless you're saying their plan is beta by the end of the year, but you don't believe they'll pull it off?

From that article: No beta this year, according to the article. Convo's insider status is looking shaky! Also: Adjusted for inflation and that good software devs are professionals demanding professional salaries these days, not just dudes in a garage dicking around, isn't it at BAD sign...

How do you not care what he's done with this game so far, when what you care about is the game? If you wanted to buy his video game you'd also want him to stop doing things like stealing funds from the project and shitting the bed on the Kickstarter. In conclusion: you're the one making it...

These forums in its various forms over the years have been pretty quick to smell failure and pretty fair and accurate in the bashing of the melodramatic idiots in denial. It's not like Vanguard or TESO ended up launching as amazing games and the few melodramatic idiots defending them from the...

It's sad when a topic becomes so pathetic even I won't make fun of it anymore.

I think you just did.......

I get it now. Brad's life has been going in reverse since EQ, and the cliff is behind them. That's how they'll drive over it. So much symbolism involved in The Vision!

No problem, you're just delivering a realistic Vanguard experience! Seriously, though, I have more hope for this project than I ever did for Vanguard.

Some laughable moments and things they did only for the added suspense, like backing down dark tunnels, but it was as good as could probably be expected. I mean, did anyone expect this to NOT just be a family drama with zombie neighbors when that's exactly what TWD not only is, but what made it...

My first question would be if you've been trying to get rid of it and are glad someone wants to buy it, why are you wanting a new tv? Need more inputs? Don't like the picture quality? Answering why you want to move on from your old tv will do a lot more to address getting a new tv than simply...

I've ripped on Astro plenty in other threads, and it's certainly fun to do so I hate to take that away from anyone, but it makes you look like the retard when you're fucking wrong and he was one of the first to call it as a revenge/personal killing: So, yeah, you waited the season out to found...
