    Star Wars: Outlaws

    Looks cool but I'm not preordering shit anymore so I guess we'll see how terrible this is when it comes out. I've been seeing rumors about the next AC and they aren't good so I don't have high hopes for this either.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I'm not terribly far into the game, but the thing that bums me out is it feels like there was less effort put into this than the original. NG+ on the original was really cool and made the replay worth while. The uniqueness of the Everfall was a really great idea. The Ur dragon was also a cool...

    What is this games version of the Everfall? Is there not anything like that?

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    What is the end game content in this version? I'm seeing people say it's just the basic NG+ and nothing like the Everfall exists?

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I don't care about the stupid micro transactions because they're in all kinds of games now, even Dragon Quest. Only idiots buy that shit to begin with. But apparently they took a bunch of things that made the original game "fun" and changed them, thinking that they knew better than the consumer...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I think what they did was lock the rat ears to a specific era at some point during Kunark on Mischief instead of them being available in classic. By the time they're available to purchase you normally would have just red wined instead because the amount of plat needed was available in game. I...

    Apparently you dorks forgot about the time they entertained the idea of a PVP server and only like 40 people showed up.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Yeah I don't really remember spending a ton of time indoors in the original outside of Bitterblack and the Everfall. I guess the spot with the Ur dragon counts as indoors as well.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Most of the "dungeons" in the original were end game content, like the Everfall. Bitterblack Isle doesn't count because it was an expansion. There was that random cave connecting a path under the mountain but other than that I don't really remember much indoors stuff.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    ESG is almost always written as an expense, not an investment, because there is not even a net gain in intangibles from pushing it, even internally. This is why most intelligent companies are moving away from it. It does nothing but create strife and increase earnings volatility (mostly losses)...

    The absolute disconnect between these two posts is astounding. What do you think ESG and SBI are? They are nothing more than DEI consulting bullshit.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    People play these games for the narratives and stories. When you hire people who refuse to push boundaries you end up with stale content. People would probably tolerate using a dated engine if the game had a solid story and narrative, but it doesn't. It's bland and dry. That's why people blame...

    It's because children aren't encouraged to figure things out on their own anymore and because of that they have an unnecessary anxiety and fear of failure. They aren't used to not being able to solve a problem to the point that when they are facing any type of adversity they will just shut down...

    Kind of shitty they just get a 1 time payment of $600 though. They should get a % of revenue (however small) for the lifetime of the game.

    Skull and Bones - Feb 16th 2024 Release Date

    This game is absolute trash for the amount of time it was in development. You can cope about it all you want but it is objectively a downgrade from games made in the early stages of a previous generations life cycle. I'm glad you're having fun now, but the fun will run out in about 2 weeks once...

    Skull and Bones - Feb 16th 2024 Release Date

    Between this and Suicide Squad, I think we're finally realizing the consequences of DEI within the industry. Everyone who was competent was either pushed out, left to do their own thing as an indie studio, or moved into fintech for job security and money. At least we have diversity, though.

    Just one point of contention with your comments. The idea of DEI/ESG doing jack shit is actually incorrect and we now have the peer reviewed data to back it up. What do I mean? Well, DEI/ESG creates environments that have the opposite of the intended purpose and goals of the social...

    Best selling books about how bad Microsoft's office environment and performance review process aren't written for other tech companies. Entire graduate school lectures are set aside to discuss how bad Microsoft is. You should sit down because you don't know what you're talking about.

    That's probably part of the equation. It would make sense why investors would not flip their shit more often on start ups. Then again, the past 20 years have created a ton of retarded VC firms that do dumb shit like relocate start ups from small towns to SF while telling the start up to cut...

    It's wild to me that tech companies hire for forecasted growth without existing revenues to back it up. But, I guess that makes sense because they're fucking around with other peoples' money, either from investors or a parent company. There's no accountability for fucking up that bad when you...

    Not to be off topic like everyone else, but the problem with the older generation is that they never paid it forward like generations before. The scions of this country spread their wealth by funding large public works that still are used to this day. Train stations, libraries, universities...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    People are still traveling and out of town. The holiday doesn't magically end on the 25th with people just teleporting back to their homes. I know this is a difficult concept for you to understand because you're a cop.

    Measuring server populations by general chats is retarded. Measuring a server population during a holiday is also retarded. It's not much deeper than that.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    If you're trying to measure actual population decline on a server it would be best measured outside of a major holiday so you can get accurate information. You have no idea or ability to control for or explain the shifts in population during the holiday for a number of reasons. I do not...
