I avoid that because BGs and open PVP have no story. If I want PVP, why glom it on to an MMO? Better to build a pvp game. PvP ends up a huge resource sink out of proportion with it's draw, and it forces devs to keep play simple so nobody can expl…
Maybe check out ESO? GW2 has zone levels, but it's still pretty open.
Or were you trying to make some larger point, badly, about real life?
As for nonMMOs, many of the open world games had NPC AI steering the narrative.
I've played both. Grim Dawn extensively, POE for thirty or forty hours. I like Grim Dawn a LOT. I like the skill trees, I like the flavor of the game. I feel like its the rightful inheritor of the D2 title. PoE was... okay. Your powers come fr…
Any possibility of asynchronous multiplayer/pbem options being supported?
Not default gameplay of course, but some option to encourage weeks or months-long games.
I had to look up CO+Cryptic to figure out what you meant.
Funny story. I've played the Champions TTRPG for 35 years, off and on as have my two friends. It was interesting seeing the setting brought to life. The game is kind of limited, with tru…
Other than the crafting side, City Of Heroes allows you to make a pretty distinctive character, with 12 classes and 60-80 powerset combos for each. But I think you want to have a PnP uniqueness in a computer game where by defintion anything you want…
Unfortunately it's not LoTR vs movie tickets or a concert, where it looks like a great value. It's LoTR vs GW2, ESO, TOR or Path Of Exile. And in that comparison, people just aren't willing to drop cash. You can get a AAA game for cheap.
I find it interesting that you guys just spent like twenty minutes discussing some random, disagreeable dude. For myself, one of my favorite things about the internet is when I encounter a random, disagreeable person, I can mute them. Its freaking…
I liked ESO a lot, the economy pushed me away. The clunky cutesy guild vendors were annoying. I have a busy life and come and go from MMOs. The requirement to be in a guild to sell meant I had to rejoin a guild every time I started again. That sai…
"Retro is whats HOT right. The Xers are CRAZY for the sh**y mechanics and gameplay that are the reason they quit these games in the first place."
No. They aren't. Do these people not realize that EVERQUEST IS STILL RUNNING? So is EQ2. So is Ultim…
I've been looking for a replacement for for Marvel Avengers Alliance since it shut down. This game scratches the itch, but I'm really disappointed in the fact that about half of the characters currently available are literally minions. Its not as …
The most critical thing to understand about Warframe is its not a straight FPS game, its really the only supers-themed FPS I'm aware of. Each of the frames has different superpowers. You zip around, fighting evil while using a HUGE variety of supe…
One thing I keep waiting for is a portal for player-created content. NW really had a good toolbox, but the classes were so godawful boring and the game so easy that I just can't stand to play and so I never got around to making content. I think th…
I'm not sure if you know... there's a Mordheim game through steam. Mordheim is the fantasy equivalent of Necromunda from GW. http://store.steampowered.com/app/276810/
/boggle Its like Warhammer, Age Of Reckoning never happened. Without PvE, it really is just Planetfall with Spells and Swords. I played DAOC for two or three years and barely did any RvR. I was quite happy to putter around the zones, explore, and…

casue after all this years they still want 30 $ for that shit
You can get it on steam for half that, so you are basically paying 15$ for 60 to 100 hours of gameplay. I think the world is fabulous. The atmosphere is amazing…
I actually like the 'sandbox, players craft the theme parks' model. I'd live in neverwinter except the classes are just boring as mud. Still makes me mad. They had all of 4E to make class options and instead each class gets a very limited set of …
I think the critical questions aren't how fast you level but how much content remains after you level, and what is the quality of the content? If I zoom through boring content, thats probably better than having to grind through it, but then why pla…
