Gameplay is the game. Without it, you have a chat room or a dull world. (Although I guess you could have only a story and still be entertaining; but we call those movies or TV.)
This.
How do you have a good game wit…
Mods prolong a game's life. That's really all they do. It does not automatically mean that the game is going to be popular, or even good. Mods don't change core, fundamental concepts of a game. Therefore, if those concepts result in a poor game, no …
My first Oblivion character had over 300 hours clocked on their save file.
And they expect a fifteen dollar monthly fee on top of everything else for this load of crap? What a joke.
69 minutes is from Eastern Cyrodiil to Western Cyrodiil; no other region. Just Cyrodiil.
One hour and 45 minutes is from the Eastern continent of Nirn to the Western continent of Nirn. Ie, across the entire map. So you go through Cyrodiil and Black…
People are going to murder me for this even though it's actually not a troll attempt.
I honestly think EQNext is trying to hit the middleground for this sort of thing. "Dungeons" are essentially unearthed ruins. You unearth ruins by destroying the …

Ah, you've been drinking the "my generation was just better" kool-aid.
I'm praying that's what it is. I do have a hard time believing that's what it is however, as I'm legitimately experiencing it in each and every…

Do you learn anything that swearing (at yourself) doesn't already teach? Any player who takes his skills seriously is truly annoyed (at themselves) every time they pull a bonehead and get swatted by something trivial.…
The biggest thing that I don't understand is; Why should a gamer not be penalized for fucking up? Nine times out of ten, death is the result of player error. The player did something incorrectly. The result of that was death. I understand that it's …
I jump off of cliffs to get to where I need to be faster in MMOs now. It's bland and horrible game design.
Couldn't do that when my items stayed where I died. Yes, I miss them.
It takes as many buttons as necessary to give the combat system actual complexity. Whether that's two buttons, eight, or fifty, it really doesn't matter. The one and only thing that matters is whether or not the combat has any form of depth and comp…
It's the weapon skills. Having half of your already small set of skills predetermined destroys most forms of customization. Which, in turn, destroys depth. This is blatantly shown through Guild Wars 2. The predetermined set of skills makes the game …
I'd be more inclined to state that they're marketing towards the lowest denominator in terms of gaming aptitude. Not so much intelligence. It just so happens that, because it's being marketed towards such a being, we've been getting a very steady in…
I've... Kind of just been under the assumption that the MMO audience has changed drastically from where it started.
Look at the upcoming consoles; They're shooting at TV as much as they are at gaming. This leads me to believing that the console cro…
Without a doubt, a Pokemon MMO.
Doesn't matter what kind, just have Pokemon in the name, and sit back and wait for the influx of money. Honestly surprised it wasn't brought up or even mentioned.
Will I play as consecutively as I am right now? More than likely not.
Will I play past 2012? Absolutely I will. Why -wouldn't- you come check up on an already paid for MMO when large content patches go Live?
