  • I’m confused, seems like a push back on Sony for acting this way for years. As proposed, Microsoft titles will guaranteed be available on XBox, pc, and many on Android devices. That seems like a wide platform variety to me. For years, Sony has made …
  • Two come to mind... Ultima Online, and Lineage II.  Lineage was especially bad at launch, not because of the Asian bot armies, and the exploits that had been fixed for months overseas but were imported whole cloth to North America, but because of …
  • It's a great way to liven up a long walk that you were going to do anyway... It's certainly not enough of a thing to drive people who don't want to exercise that way into permanent activity. Is there any sane person with gaming experience who didn't…
  • Funny. I just got email about updates to it a couple of days ago.  That said, the beta on Xbox One has been lackluster at best. Graphically it has always had problems, effects that obscure the action, lots of hitches and slowdowns (unforgivable when…
  • Originally posted by jesteralways Yeah there are people who thinks AA is for them, they can just open their wallet, buy LP pots and win; i am waiting for these morons to leave. they think they can get top quality gears in a month like the handhold…
  • I was involved in two beta weekends, and found myself turning to other forms of entertainment, well before the time was up. It just did not engage me at all. It felt as though I were playing something I'd already played... Quibble about the new and …
  • Here's why I think they fail: Arcade-style ship combat, where the ship handles like a toy boat in a bathtub is the norm. I think developers believe that making combat feel realistic, would be too difficult and drive away potential players, so they g…
  • I've been playing it for a few days, just to see... and I have different issues with the game. It has to be the least immersive fantasy MMO I've ever tried. Every encounter/fight is in an non-instanced dungeon, where things respawn every 10 seconds…
  • The Harry Potter franchise is fiercely protected by Rowling and Warner Bros on her behalf. She won't even let e-books of her work be distributed anywhere but through her own site. I would not have imagined this game would ever see the light of day..…

  • You have to keep in mind that this is not an RPG. You aren't going to have long, involved adventures across a world and gradually get better at skills, etc etc. It's a persistant world shooter, kind of the illegitimate love-child of Counterstrike an…
  • Well, of course the whole magic system would have to be made up for a game... since J. K. Rowling couldn't be bothered to devise one that made a lick of sense. Ever notice how 7 years of wizard training teaches you a couple of potions, how to water …
  • If done in the right manner, I could definitely see a Bioshock MMO working.  It's got its own power system, a good backstory, a rich environment, and room for new creepy things.  I don't mind seeing MMO concepts that aren't global in scope. You can …
  • Just wrapped up the 14 day trial they put out a couple weeks ago, and have to say I enjoyed it.  There's a lot to be said for simplicity of character in an interesting and expansive setting.  For now, though, my wife is dead set on seeing the new LO…
  • I've read the report of the so-called study, and it's vague to the point of uselessness. By their stated definition of virtual item the purchase of virtual currency like Microsoft Points on your Xbox would constitute paying real money for an intan…
  • The attitude of populations in virtually every game featuring player-on-player action has sunk to its lowest level ever. For the first time in my oh-so-long gaming history I'm finding myself leaning towards pve-limited servers in games, simply to av…
  • I don't think they'll go for playable droids anytime soon.  I mean, come on, that might reveal Star Wars' dirty little secret, droids are slaves. Isn't it strange that a pair of personable droids is our guide through these movies, and we all know …
  • Originally posted by BloodDuality Is Tabula Rasa still live? At least I thought it was down, and from the posts it sounds like it is dead. Yet at my local Wal-Mart they are still selling the Collectors Eddition of the game. they were also selling…
  • Originally posted by jaxsundane If they offer a free weekend chances are it won't have anything to do with the new content as I'm used to seeing from most mmos that offer a trial of some sort.   Actually, City of Heroes usually does a 'ret…
  • For my part, no matter how next-gen or well-reviewed a free to play game might be, I still can't stand to play it for very long. In some respect every F2P game I've taken a good look at feels like adventuring in an infomercial to me. Everything is a…
