I wish others would actually share what it is the game does well because i only saw ONE thing and that is "elemental "properties.
I think the idea of auto switching classes on the fly is just dumb and destroys the meaning of a c…

I have a similar line, chance mechanics in games are only gambling if you can pay for them. For me it does not matter if it can be done some other way, the games are designed to entice you into paying, not entice you in…

It is well known that if you experience a lot of gambling when a youngster, there is an increased chance of you developing a gambling addiction as an adult. Our games today are rife with gambling style play, anything where yo…

Play portal knights og even dungeon defenders 2 with your kids instead.
I don't know that I agree with that. Obviously it's a personal choice that each parent needs to make for themselves and there's not going to be …

I would argue that if you are not spending any money (even though you spent $10 but didn't get anything) then it' snot being done right.
If most people can spend "nothing" then al that means is that the game is going t…

I played this at launch and it was really fun for the first couple days. Luckily I watched some Youtube videos about this game and how they design it to create a gambling addiction. After watching some youtubers throw thousands …

Well honestly though I find it easier using a controller I had lying around than the m&k for ACV so considering how it was $10 less for ps4 from Amazon I wish I had bought the console version.
I tried playing with…

few things,iDC about success the GAME is all that matters to me.
I find the entire COD series done by treyarch to be not as good as the prior developers,so typically the Black Ops stuff is a bit weaker.
As to Valhalla,i di…

Red, you have nieces and nephews that prefer consoles over PCs? Not a problem. Just inform them that they will be written out of the will.
lol Don't think I haven't threatened it. =P In all seriousn…

CE lost its magic system? That's one of the reasons why I find it hard to understand why people have such interest in games before launch. You just don't know what the game will look until it launches. Same for changes in NW, only w…
Scot said:
It is Early Access, so I look forward to a review at launch and wonder why anyone would play it now.
Well, as a fan of other games like RimWorld, I'd just say that it's because the games are super fun. I've played a ton of ea…

It doesn't matter. It brought you here, to post that comment. And while doing so, you have to maneuver around ads and other flashy content, which is exactly what the mmorpg.com st…

Afraid my experiance with Cultist Simulator was 180 degrees from yours. It's intentionally obscurantist, and after a few goes at trying to get anywhere with it, it suceeded in making me uninterested.

Hmm, thought this was going to be another article about Star Citizen funding or what not.
lol I can see how the title might mislead you on that account.
But honestly, it really is a very cool game. For folks …

Sure, but you do realize that we would not have the Divinity OS series or Larian developing BG3 without EA right? There goes two of the best rpgs ever made, and what's shaping up to be a third, plus the end of one of the greatest sma…

There's the rub isn't it you cannot close the barn door after the horses have bolted. You cannot introduce qualifications to early access to one type of game when you have generally accepted that in other games.
Of course you…
They're not going to be deceitful. I don't know anyone in the company personally, but they've been around a long time and have a good reputation.
My suspicions are they ran short on budget and investors insisted on Early Access rather than shellin…
