i liked legion. wod and bfa were really bad though
i have to give props where it is due, and that was pretty good,lol.
I think a lot of people might want to have a healthy dose of cynicism, even when it concerns their favorite game companies.
âNo King Rules Forever,â et al.
I remember the lead-up to Mass Effect Andromeda and Knights of the Old Republic.
âBioware would never mess this up!â
I remember the lead-up to Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.
âBethesda would never mess this up!â
Rockstar isnât immune to this, with how Take Two infected them and how Red Dead Online has panned out.
I mean, weâve all heard that Blizzard wanted to start releasing an expansion every year way back during Wrath⌠doesnât that sound awfully familiar? A yearly blockbuster expansion of an existing franchise that retreads previous content and adds some new, if somewhat shallow, features?
Episodic or routine paid content. The live service model has infected nearly everything. The MMO market is the first step - the subscription model, mobile gaming microtransactions, more and more expansions, ludicrous pre-order bonuses/special editions. Everything thatâs followed is a business model trying to squeeze every last dime out of itâs players.
Thatâs how I predicted that Blizzard would combine subs. It looks better for investors when âWorld of Warcraftâ with no delineation between Classic or Retail has a bigger MAU count.
Acti-Blizzâs acquisiton of King Mobile let us know that they were high on the mobile market.
âWe should always be positive! Never negative!â Itâs the youtube thing.
People should have been disappointed by Diablo Immortal and the removal of downvotes, but they shouldnât have been surprised.
bfa is legion same invasions,wqâs,ap grind,pvp and M+.
bfa is legion with a different xmog on it.

Yes it is. And everquest was just a derivative of Ultima Online. I think the point is just way over your head.

Not surprised as much as disgusted.
Couldnât have said it better, even retail is better than DOOMXXXIVCM, which is all FPS games are to me. Iâm only playing retail because of my guild, otherwise Iâd have probably shut it off. Iâm really hoping what one of my guildies said doesnât come to pass, that classic wonât have a critical number of people to see content. Iâm kind of disappointed not one person bit on to classic but I really do think Iâll enjoy it more. Even if I can only work up to pre-raiding and BG queues are brisk Iâd be pretty happy. I like the feeling of being necessary, like selling ports. Now I cast a mage table and nobody even touches it, theyâre already running for the goalposts. Quick to point out if youâre bad, not so much as a gj usually when youâre good. I do have a guild community now but Iâm not sure if that will take me away from classic, I guess Iâll probably play a bit of both or just make new friends on classic where I can actually contribute in meaningful ways.

Been playing ESO, while waiting for Classic. Not all triple A games are trash in 2019.
Iâve logged about 100 more hours in Skyrim to help pass the time. Iâve gone through that game so many times and I can still go back to it and have fun. I tried ESO and it just didnât capture that feel for me.

WOW⌠i am used to seeing overly dramatic statements in the forums, but this has to be the most teenage-angst ridden post Iâve ever seen in the forums. Thatâs saying a lot.

Not to mention it completely overlooks this much darker period in video game history:

I mean, thatâs cool and all, but donât you think thatâs more relevant to live than Classic?
Diablo III was the biggest pile of trash in gaming history that was to follow up one of the greatest games in the history of gaming (diablo II).
MORE people play Diablo 2 on reset than diablo 3.

Shooters have been garbage since Socom II went out of date.
im telling you how it is, you just dont like being wrong
and yes i meant understanding, auto correct got me there
This is a really good video showcasing how a passionate developer makes great games before studios like EA/Activision swoop in and ruin everything.
