    Mostly talking and exposition. You do get to see Halo itself though

    Star Trek: Picard

    Episode was kind of all over. Assimilated special ops suddenly become Star Wars stormtroopers with aim. Hologram Romulan that somehow has memories of the real guy. Picard flashback with still no clear point on the plot besides character development I do like how Juratti basically called out...

    Ya, I can’t imagine why a woman who was forced to flee her home in Bucha and has probably lost everything she owns that she couldn’t carry with her and had Russian soldiers kill her neighbors that stayed would be mad at Russia. Such bias

    Resist gear is just a way to artificially extend content with minimal mudflation

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    Not really - it was just a means to add "soft resets" to gear by forcing players to wear an item (typically with sub-optimal stats) for the express purpose to mitigate or eliminate some unavoidable AOE a boss threw out. Then this was usually done in an environment that limited storage (either...

    Resist gear was shit. Sure was fun farming level 35 dungeons for nature resist gear for AQ40!

    True, but their biggest stars usually have the lucrative contracts. They would have to sweeten the pot a lot I suspect

    Black Desert

    Sounds better than when I played it - quests had like no XP and you were forced to just grind mobs. I noped the fuck out because I started to get EQ1 PTSD

    They picked a known WoW apologist. Seems like a safe bet

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Depending on how much practical props and sets are required (especially considering higher construction material prices) and how much CGI is pumped into this, that isn't too much out of line with a major blockbuster movie. It's still a fuckton of money, though.

    That's great and all, but you still need theaters that can support that lol

    vampire survivors

    I got by with this combo. I wanted to get the fire explosion arcana to really boost Hellfire damage (the bounce + explode arcanas make it do disgusting DPS), but had to get the revive arcana as my 2nd due to sustain problems. Heaven sword crit + bounce arcanas make it pretty nutty, especially...

    Lost Ark Online

    Because the game has both drops and honing, and psychologically honing feels worse Honing just gives you +gooder and eventually unlocks content. Stuff like skill books and jewelry comes down to drop RNG. The problem with late honing is you put in lots of time to get together enough various...

    Lost Ark Online

    Honing feels bad because of the failures. The frequency doesn’t matter - if I grind materials, hit the button, and it eats my mats and says try again…that feels bad. It’s an arbitrary system of which the player has little agency to control beyond failure chance reduction materials (which unto...

    pretty much. Addons and encounter development have been an arms race for many many years.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Trying to argue that choreography isn’t hard to a weak argument. The hardest part of any raid fight is execution. Having your raid fucked up because of bad RNG isn’t good design. That’s like saying if you were judging a dance routine, you’d give more points to the person who kept dancing...

    Star Trek: Picard

    His interactions have been fine. Shows up, does some risky stuff to help the doctor, gets the doctor interested. Although he is in sort of an awkward spot considering time travel.

    Star Trek: Picard

    It's a tough problem because there isnt a uniform reason behind it, so it would require a large number of solutions to completely different problems. Psychiatric conditions and drug/alcohol abuse would probably be 2 of the biggest factors, and in Cali the insane real estate market doesn't help...

    Lost Ark Online

    Ok. To start, I limited my scope to the West. I could give a fuck what numbers in Asia are. In regards to a AAA MMO, I define failure as 20k or less daily players on average in NA/Western Region and with major content patches only seeing about a 2x bump in that figure.

    Lost Ark Online

    Fail is relative. I would use the same time table as Black Desert and Archeage in terms of population drop. People forgive RMT shit for a time if the gameplay is engaging, but the bottom will fall out pretty quick at a certain point. I would say that Smilegate is a bit better at offering...

    Yes, shitty honing rates acting as an artificial block towards higher item level is such hard, difficult content This game will long term fail for the same reason every Korean p2w MMO long term fails in the West - eventually the shiny newness wears off and people realize it's just a nice...

    Deviantart had been bleeding off good artists and photographers for a long time now, but it really started to go down the tubes when things like Patreon became a thing - a lot of artists went over there and started to post work and actually get paid. Prior to then, places like Flickr and...

    You won't hear anything from Alex for a good long time. He has nothing to gain from it and it would just toss him back into the spotlight, refreshing his existence in the mind of the twitter brigade which has long since moved on to other targets.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Time trials are always a lazy means of increasing difficulty and all they do is force the meta for clearing into an incredibly narrow band of acceptable classes/specs. Since they rarely balance for this, it means you typically exclude a good part of your playerbase (either because of the class...

    TERA

    It had a few things going against it. SWTOR was at the time ultra hyped and that launched sometime after TERA. Then MoP came out. Besides its combat, TERA didnt really have much else going for it in terms of draw. People eventually got bored of it
