    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    The realm, Ultima Online, Asheron's Call, DAOC, SWG, City of Heroes are all shit games and were all shit games at release. Not sure exactly what your trying to get across here... that your objectively bad opinion is terrible when it comes to what games are "good" and which ones aren't? Every...

    Justice League (2017)

    Yeah... Most likely won't see this any time soon, but you have to just scratch your head when you can literally watch good adaptations of the DC universe for dozens of hours, but they had to make a stinker while having that exact material available the entire time. Sadness.

    No, they are trying to recreate what they can; the problem is that you can't just take a recipe and modernize 30% while leaving the rest the same. You have to modify everything otherwise or it doesn't come out right. And I'm not talking about making everything "WoW" or whatever. A -massive-...

    Retro Game of the Month November 2017: Soul Blazer (SNES)

    IMO, the Dark Cloud games borrow heavily from basically every aspect of Soul Blazer. It's a great game, and the Dark Cloud rebuilding portion was great as well.

    Nah. There's not really salty people regarding EQ, there's people clearly misrepresenting EQ's "greatness" and then a shitload of people who played the shit out of it and a bunch of other games after it fell to the wayside. EQ was great between 1999 and 2002 (Luclin sucked donkey dong) and it...

    Look at that list and read off the Fantasy PVE games. I'll wait. edit: JK, I wont. FFXI was the closest contender, and it was still largely propped up by asian market sales. It had a respectable but very specific playerbase in the West. Also, fun fact, but FFXI had a better retention rate...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Rose colored goggles = EQ had a better retention rate when there was no competition, and then everyone left when there was. Thus, EQ was better at retaining players than a game that literally was the competition that stole all of EQ's players, and there are still millions of players who have...

    Justice League (2017)

    I liked Man of Steel, even with the gritty tone. Probably because I don't really like Superman as a hero or comic book character; the departure in Man of Steel was way more interesting than Jesus in a cape. Grab Keanu and make as many Constantine sequels as you want. I absolutely loved that...

    Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

    I read a couple of Christie's books in high school, then I watched the movie "Murder by Death" and it basically summed up my thoughts of her writing. She creates a mystery by leaving out information, and then supplies the information as an "ah ha!" moment at the end. Like literally some...

    I mean, you said it, not me. And you specifically used numbers to try and prove EQ had better retention rates than WoW, so the reality of your argument is that EQ is not the best mmo ever "cuz numbers" that -you- provided. This is why sane people have problems with these rose-colored visions...

    Er, no. EQ had, at it's height, retention of roughly 38% at 550k-ish players of players over its entire lifecycle. WoW was substantially better than that during Wrath, at 11m players. The population continued to grow, not shrink, through Wrath. Your cherry-picked number is during the height...

    EQ would have died on the vine, unless part of this fantasy includes WoW never having aped all the good stuff EQ did and then removing all the inane shit. There's a -lot- of borrowing going on between EQ and WoW, but WoW did like 90% of the same stuff better. Them coming out first means EQ...

Thanks Archeage-Waste-Of-Money) and I'll hold it up to the same criteria I hold every game up to. Personally I think they have caved a little too hard to the "hardcore" MMO crowd...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    NFC is looking stout this year. Wouldn't be surprised to see any of the division leaders (or the Cowboys! I'm a fan stfu =|) with a dominant win in the SB this time around, minus major injuries. I hate to say it, but Eagles are looking insane. Could be their year, thanks to Wentz.

    Yeah, there's definitely that going as well. Which honestly I wish would attract more people, because we are still (mostly) in the uncanny valley era of film making, where CGI is still pretty noticeable. It isn't insane over the top obvious, but it makes you go "Oh yeah that's clearly...

    Eh, it isn't like it is more expensive than other movies. It's Blade Runner, which was a divisive movie when it got released. And this is a sequel 30 years later, but it is still Blade Runner. Add in the word of mouth that this is a long ass movie with little action, and that the resolution...
