Btw, for extra lulz, check out the Star Citizen reddit. The salt is starting to flow

It was from the Summer Games show. Here is the deep dive

Gameplay on Monday I think? Trailer didn't really tell us what kind of game it would be

I had a blast with building in FO4

Who gives a fuck if they borrow systems or ideas from other games so long as they're done well? Bunch of jaded MF in here

I'm even more hyped for this game after this

Going through the clips of AI Trump Vs Biden. Some gems in there

Pretty sure hell is down, not up

Lol what the fuck...here is an AI Twitch stream this forum should appreciate

Liu Kang: I must consult the Elder Gods Raiden: Wait a minute...

Forum is cool, but Pompeii is a far better representation of Ancient Rome even though it was effectively a resort town. Because it was a snapshot in time, all the old temples and stores and homes and infrastructure were preserved. You can see 2000 year old wall art and graffiti and signs ...

You talked about whoring for money, which is called the oldest profession in the world for good reason. Hell, you can see chimpanzees engaging in this, but replace money with food That means it is a behavior that has been in place for millions of years and in one way or another been a part of...

The irony of someone with "old" in their name having zero awareness of the majority of human history. You'd be clutching your pearls in Ancient Rome or even England hundreds of years ago lol

You joke, but Fansly has live streaming already. I mean makes sense - shit like Chaturbate or other cam sites are almost as old as Twitch

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I recall the history of Tetris early on was really convoluted on rights and as it became a financial success, more and more companies got involved and even the Soviet government.

Regardless as to your opinions on churches today, medieval church structures had a lot of corruption. They were a major political power and power corrupts. Plus evil church is a common theme in Japanese games regardless

They could do what FF14 is doing and modifying old MSQ dungeons so they can be run with NPCs. Although that would take some amount of work depending on the dungeon

Ya, the move to Broadsword probably means that's more or less it for the game in terms of new content, save for perhaps the occasional cash shop item and small scale updates At least they aren't shuttering it. Companies like NCSoft would have shut down the servers with like a 1 month advance...

Except all those options are worth less money ad revenue wise.

Historical context is needed, though A lot of the early Twitch adopters were people escaping Youtube because of changes Youtube was making to monetization. They formed the foundation of the platform, which in turn let newer post-Youtube people take advantage of If Twitch starts to become less...

The main thing that fanfic impressed upon me was how many xpacs came out after I quit lol

I could believe having people on RMT payroll, but the money in Archeage couldn't have been that good to support 75k per person per year on payroll if you're just focusing on the NA market.

They released the entire 1st season for free on Youtube, presumably as a run-up to S2 coming out soon. I suspect it won't stay up forever If you haven't seen the show yet, excellent time to give it a watch

She's fortunate she didn't get mauled by it (or if she did, it wasn't in the video). Park Rangers will also fine people for getting too close to the animals like that

A miserable pile of secrets But enough of this! Have at you!

Effective world building uses all techniques Show but don’t tell Exposition Context through conversation and action Breadcrumb trails EQ1 mostly used 1, a little of 4, and very rarely 3. For a game world to really be deep lore/story wise, you should be using everything in appropriate...

Like the classic convo between Bashir and Garak “So which stories were true and which were lies?” “They’re all true!” “Even the lies?” “Especially the lies”

It’s not even just that. If poor game balance results in some FOTM asshole taking stuff it took me hours to get in the game, then my desire to keep playing plummets

Instead, you have to spam keywords to random NPCs until they say something “what fiery avenger?” “what strange things?” “phat lootz”

Most of the time, people who want forced PvP don’t want a challenge. They want to gank some low risk random and steal their shit

The problem with the EQ epic quests and lore was how quests in general worked in the game. Everything was hidden or not obvious, so people usually found step 10 before step 1 and most of the solving was done via brute force or devs leaking to guilds. If there was a story, you got it out of...

Unless they change their original design philosophy, I'm pretty sure they indicated it will be forced PvP with some type of rep/crime system. Which I am 10000% certain won't be exploited like every other forced PVP game that was ever made which tried to employ the same type of rep/crime system.

The irony here is the very thing you're lauding EQ1 for doing in terms of lore, everyone shat on Fallout 76 for at launch for doing the same thing

Ya, to Tentacus Prime

Transition on the new Savage fight

It's forum posters like you who have ruined your own lands, you'll not ruin mine!

I do agree that disguised grinds are better than “kill 10000 mobs” grinds. That is why WoW felt better than EQ1 in terms of grinding. The problem is disguised grinds take effort to design and mindless grinds are easy to implement

Endless, mandatory grind mechanics are bad for the long term health of a game, though. AA in Everquest are actually a great example. I'm heard they eventually changed them a bit, but at least for the few expansions following their introduction, it was pretty much impossible to ever catch up to...

Given the scope of the world (or at least what they claim the scope will be), I suspect it will be cut back significantly and they'll just release new chunks to give some meat to their updates. Either that or it will be some bland copy-paste shit that would make FFXIV 1.0 blush that they will...

The next mission to Venus that actually goes onto the planet is more likely to be a flying thing than a surface thing. The surface is a very difficult technical challenge due to the extreme temperatures and pressures. The upper atmosphere is more Earth like in terms of temperature and outside...
