A co-worker who also plays said, "so, they're going to flood the economy with gold," when I related this to him. As I understand it, though, the gold is already out there, just sitting in the "bags" of longtime players who can't figure out what else…
With regards to the combat, I can agree with the issues of the reviewer in the context of this game being one MMO among many. However, I have been a fan of computerized attempts at Star Trek games since the days of the grid-based, Battleship-style s…
As someone who loves the MMO concept but has yet to find a "home," I have tried many of the options that are out there. None has really captured my imagination in a way that I have felt warrants paying a monthly subscription, since the closure of "m…
This game, and its predecessor, are still installed on an active computer. In fact, I always keep one computer alive that still runs Windows 98, just for these games, the original XCom, and he old Gold Box D&D games. I don't see how anyone who p…
In 24 hours, the Kickstarter has nearly reached 50% of goal. There are a number of people posting to FB and forums saying that they are currently at home thanks to the shutdown of the US federal government, so there's a lot of potential money that d…
The critical flaw in the presented argument against used games is that it would make video games (correct me if I'm wrong) the ONLY physical purchase on the market which you would be unable to resell or to buy used. I mean, I understand the piracy c…
Laptop for Skype. I have yet to be satisfied with any in-game v-chat app, as it is, and I usually play socially with the same group of people, anyway. Also, we generally don't have the actual game settled on ahead of time, anyway, so having v-chat i…
As we reach comment overload, here, some reaching dissertation-level proportions, I doubt anyone is still paying attention to them, but here goes.
In discussing this topic on another forum, someone pointed out that Matt has given the impression of …
The only thing I would disagree with you on is the cutscenes. The "2D cartoons" are called "motion comics." I don't particularly like them, but they're evidently quite a thing.
That said, I couldn't agree more. I kinda think you were generous on t…
I attended a vigil online in Champions Online a couple of months ago for a player who had passed. He had gone to Champions from City when the other game went into open beta, and he evidently never looked back. I don't know what his name was in City,…

I find this article is bad for a couple of reasons. By op's logic every dm ever should be forced to keep their campaign going because a player does not want it to end. How unreasonable is that? Also, what about the…
In answer to your ending question, City of Heroes was my first experience with an MMO, and it was couple of years before I tried any of the others. Now, yes, it's in my head, because it only seems to be only the two super-powered MMOs that are/were …
Not to sound like a sycophant, but one of the greatest strengths to City of Heroes was its diversity of options. It wasn't all things to all people, but there was enough for everyone at all levels. That's really what's lacking in anything that's out…
