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

    It might be, but like Star Citizen, most of us will probably never know. We'll be pushing daisies by then.

    Black Desert

    Yeah. This game... I might start back up with this next season. Good timing, about done with my legendary grind in GW2. But my usual m.o. with BDO is to start back up, play like a madman for a couple of months and have a great time. Then grind for a few months until I it isn't fun anymore and...

    Black Desert

    Just pick one that sounds fun and realize that you will probably switch mains as soon as you start to figure the game out. With that in mind don't spend too much (money, in game stuff, etc.) on your first toon. Some things, like outfits, are character bound. And like Raes said you can do trial...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So are they going to sell gliders (see gw2) to the gimped races? For say... $25?

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    GW2's combat is great. Not as good as BDO's, but it's very fast and fluid, with a lot of deep possiblities (combos and synergies with other classes) where skill matters. And it's fun. GW2's combat is way, way better than most other mmo's, even to this day. They also did a great job making it...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    How low will it go I wonder? Just a quick look at Amazon has 3090's slightly under msrp. There are a fuckton of these cards out there and with crypto crashing, Nvidia / AMD are going to have a hell of time selling competing with all of those extra cards coming back. Plus they want to clear out...

    TRON: Ares

    Syd Mead designed much of the original look of Tron and the original Blade Runner movie. He wasn't involved in the sequels and they suffered for it. Not bad movies but without Syd's vision they just looked like any other Hollywood copy. Tron 3 will be bad. Don't wish it so, but Hollywood isn't...

    Diablo Immortal

    Most mobile game are absolute trash slot machines because most people are fucking morons who fall for these traps over and over and over again. Even if you don't spend a dime on a P2W game you are helping their metrics by just logging in.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Looking forward to this, hope it's good. Thought the end of season 8 left a lot of room for sequels. Arya heading out to explore sounded interesting too. Maybe they can bring her back with Jon in this new series and show us "What's west of Westeros". Still don't understand the mass hate GoT...

    The Old Man

    Some of Jeff Bridges efforts the last decade or so are not that good, he can over do that raspy thing sometimes. But he's a still a great actor and he was awesome in the remake of True Grit (still love the original too). Like what I see here so far. Could be great.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Everyone wants to do that. The problem is that they are not George Lukas (or J.K. Rowling, George R.R. Martin, etc). They may be good film makers but there are a ton of them around. Good world builders are a rare find. Just giving the world building to any director because he wants to do it...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Don't think they are hating on the game so much. Seems to be more about taking Todd Howard down a peg for recent dumbshit decisions and using Starfield as the proxy. Saw a video that claims Starfield looks like No Man's Sky. But they are both space games with your toon in a space suit flying...

    Diablo Immortal

    I generally don't care about P2W mechanics, I just play something else. But if Blizzard gets away with this bullshit then it's going to fuck over almost every game coming out from now on. And the people playing this game right now will be to blame.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Don't care too much about what they do as long as they ENTERTAIN me. Being preached at by woke fuckwits is not entertaining. Hell, I don't even need much of a plot if the dialogue is snappy, the characters are fun and I can escape for a couple of hours.

    I usually sub. Crafting bag, dlcs, etc, make it worthwhile to me. But the game is very playable without all of that stuff if you are just starting out.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Somehow ended up at the startrek.com site. It's telling that most of the page is dedicated to Strange New Worlds. Picard and the cartoon get some coverage, while Discovery is relegated to the very bottom of the page. You have to scroll way down to see it. Wish Kurtzman would get the aids or...

    New World

    New World really isn't that bad of a game, it has a lot going for it. But it also has problems with endgame and basic rvr design. And this isn't 2004. You can't get away with mediocre or endgame problems in the modern game space, too many good options out there. I've been wanting to go back to...

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    Mark Davis and his dad have always been "progressive" with their hires. Which has never bothered me since they didn't do the hires to be "progressive" but because they were good at their jobs. Art Shell, Amy Trask, etc. So this action is consistent with their history. The tryout I assume is...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    Then he works out for 2 to 3 hours. Not like the rest of us. Tom has a ton of drive and he works very hard at making movies. Drive and hard work tend to pay off over time. I give him a pass for his personal life, scientology, etc. Because he doesn't talk about it, hasn't had any "public"...

    The Official Guitar Thread

    Never been a Steve Vai fan, but he does have technical chops. Saw this video a few weeks ago and at first thought it was some sort of spinal tap joke. But Steve somehow managed to make this work. Thought it was kind of cool actually. Very Steve Vai though.

    The daily chores are a turn off. I like the chaos / guardian dungeons well enough, but not every day. So only do them on weekends, and maybe once during the week if I feel like logging on. It really hurts progression if you don't do them every day though. Confirmed altaholic so this game is...

    Love this show, one of my favorites. Well written, interesting concepts, great acting, the works. Not sure why others don't like it but it works for me. Imo, HBO just has better quality shows than the other streaming services. Just finished my Netflix run for the year and although they have...

    Lost Ark Online

    East coast servers are usually the most packed (with queues) in typical mmo launches. So going to a west coast server at launch is typically the best option for skipping that mess. And if you pvp the ping for local servers is always better. Seems like the bot issue is what really messed this...

    Ashes of Creation

    Games that reward griefers at the expense of carebares are destined to niche status or outright failure. Haven't followed this that much but if AoC has PvE servers or something where the carebares can quest and progress in peace then it has a chance at making boatloads of money. Has to be a good...

    Lost Ark Online

    Don't understand, why are west coast servers so afflicted (with queues) and the east coast are not? Usually east coast servers are more popular. I play east coast servers in mmos for the healthy pops, even though I live on the west coast.

    Fuckin game is a bit too addicting. Don't have a lot of time to play games and this one is taking all of it. Have 3 years of xbox game pass going to waste, etc.
