    E3 2018 Hype and Train-Wreck Thread (Place your bets!)

    One other issue is mobile isn't x86. Why would I buy a $600 mobile gaming thing that is inferior to my phone's hardware? My phone has more (double? triple?) computing power than a PS4 but developers are giving us this Elder Scrolls Swipe trash. The big publishers know there's tons of money in...

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

    Everything about coding in Pantheon is a valid concern. They spend far more payroll on lore than on coding, so I'd hope they're able to make things sound interesting.

    E3 2018 Hype and Train-Wreck Thread (Place your bets!)

    Square Enix has their own conference this year also. Makes sense they showcased very little today. FF7 remake can't be going well but they seem to be raking in cash from the episodic FF15. I'm afraid of how much they'll charge for FF7 at this point.

    This. While an enjoyable episode, at this point it feels like a wasted hour. I want more main story or side quests showing already-developed characters. Not a random character who isn't necessary being added to the main quest. Good in a vacuum, but there wasn't a point to this in the grand...

    Eureka has its flaws. It'll be interesting to see what they do with the Pagos. I loved it when it came out but it was possible to create a group of 8 people back then. Within a few days the NM Train became prevalent and while efficient, it wasn't fun gameplay. Longtime players say "the grind"...

    You bring up a lot of good points (except I don't seem to have the view that you assume I hold). The owners in the last CBA tried to bring about more parity. I think the owners are concerned about their own ability to put together a contending squad because contenders make more money (both in...

    Agree. The boos were over the top. A lot of people bitching are probably putting a lot of weight into "strikes landed" and how bad Gadelha's face was cut up. That said, the judges might have put too much weight into Gadelha's takedowns. I don't think she did much in the second round.

    Not what I want. I expect the owners/NBA to create some "competitive balance" BS around this sort of thing. Owners pay the players the same amount no matter what. As per the CBA: Collectively, the players are guaranteed to receive 50% of forecasted revenues, plus (or minus) 60.5% of the...

    We'll see what happens, but 2/4 of the Warriors "superstars" may take a significant pay cut to stay in Oakland/SF. I'd expect to see a group of owners form a coalition to prevent that sort of thing. Will be hard to get by the players because they won't take kindly to a more restrictive free...

    CBA is in place for several more years. Max contracts are an albatross in the NBA. I don't think it's a magic bullet, but would Kevin Durant turn down $800 million over 10 years from Memphis? The fact is the top 30 players in the league are all paid the same is an issue. This narrative of...

    Disappointing ending to the series as the Cavs seemed content to lose. No fire. Didn't feel like a close-out game at all. Few thoughts on the series: LeBron disappointed. He was transcendent in Game 1 and then played just OK at home. He didn't assert himself. Sad LeBron stat: Cavs seemed to...

    Warriors up 9 at halftime. McGee leading the Dubs in plus-minus with +17 in 11 minutes and Tristan Thompson with a team-worst -19 in 12 minutes. McGee making $2.1M this year. Thompson is in the middle of a 5-year $82M deal. Great job by Kerr creating ways to exploit this matchup. McGee had...

    100% agree on Bosh. I've read some interviews with him in recent years and he knows it, too. Shame. Love has adapted, just not as effectively. He's dropped a ton of weight and became a decent shooter from the outside. They have never been able to tap into his passing and he's physically...

    It's hard for guys like Love to play next to LeBron. Bosh had the same issue. Spo had to run a bunch of plays through Bosh to keep him involved, kept him on the floor with Wade and LeBron on the bench, and it was still hard to manage. Ty Lue has tried the same with similar results. As for his...

    It'll be interesting to see what happens to the rest of his career. At this point, he's a 5x All-Star and 2x All-NBA (second team). Given the abundance of talented forwards in the NBA today, I'm not sure he'll rack up more All-NBA honors. Post-LeBron he might re-emerge as an offensive source...
