  • Fallout 76 didn’t ruin New Vegas

    Ultima online wasn’t a “cancer” to the gaming industry

    I wish Final Fantasy XIV ruined the franchise so we didn’t get the abomination that is the latest two installments.

    Greedy shit developers make shit products, no surprise. But GemStone, Asheron’s Call, World of Warcraft (the early years, I can’t speak to the latest) and other forms of long-term games offer a chance to experience a world for years in an additive environment instead of waiting for the next installment of starting at ground zero again.



















  • Agreed. It’s a solid game that just gets boring. I enjoyed the campaign and the co-op play. I liked the variety of play of the classes.

    But since the launch they’ve just made the game boring. The first big patch just nerfed every build. It’s not a competitive game - they just decided you should have less fun I guess.

    Gems are super boring - instead of being excited for them to drop, inactively ignore them. And the first seasons only mechanic is… fancy gems.

    The towns are designed to make you run around a ton. The mount mechanics are actively hostile (maps have areas where you need to dismount to progress, then there’s a 10s cool down before you can mount again). Inventory management kinda sucks. The whole loot management part of the game is kinda flat and that’s a major component of this series.

    It’s weird because this was the smoothest launch of a Diablo and the game felt feature rich as you leveled. But the end game is so fucking boring. They have so many things in D3 they could have just copied but instead we’ll end up with yet another patch of nerfs in a single player game.
