And despite being on the market for 6 years, spawning several competitors and complimentary products, EverQuest and it's ilk failed to expand the market. It took WoW, a 'casual friendly gimme loot now' game to do it. It is still the market leader to this day. Your opinions are shit.

Ah, my mistake. I was playing TMO beta before I got my hands on WoW. I suppose what I should have said was that it was released before the 'post-WoW era' that people like to point to as the FALL OF THE MMORPG.

Both pre-WoW... But ya, I guess you could count FF14 even though it is currently drowning in cash.

Here's an uncomfortable fact for the people who claim modern MMORPGs 'fail' after a month: At its absolute height in early 2005, EverQuest enjoyed 500,000 monthly subscriptions. Let's look at a game that is universally shat on by 'oldschool' MMO players. SWTOR. Three years after release, the...

Notice how I listed AAA games, not every piece of Korean shovelware you can find.

Name the list of AAA MMORPGs developed post-WoW that haven't 'lasted'. Etchazz's assertion was 'after a month', but I'll let you have any period of time you like.

I don't understand... What MMORPGs aren't 'lasting more than a month or so'? WoW, Rift, SWTOR, TERA, GW2, ArchAge, Black Desert, AION, Elder Scrolls Online, FF14 etc etc etc are all still online and generating positive income... In fact, the only major MMORPG made in the last decade (post-WoW...

SERVER BROWSER CONFIRMED

'Geek culture is full of assholes.' No, you fucking hack. Geek culture is filled disproportionately with hyper-critical & analytical individuals. When your cash-grab product falls short, geeks are more likely to notice. Idiot.

Holy shit, this may be my first FPS purchase in years. If the servers stay online.

Real men started Barbarians and had to make it through Blackburrow first.

Nah. It may be because I'm playing on console, but the gunplay compared to Destiny lacks impact. Lethality is too high too. I was looking forward to 'dueling' if that makes sense... But encounters last seconds. That being said, map design, movement, and at style are fucking in point. Feels...

I dislike this game.

The Knight of the Laughing tree was probably Lyanna.

On Hodor's backstory: Would make sense. Losing himself as the 3-eyed raven warned Bran about. Fear of lightning and battle. Literally acts as a mode of transportation. Kinda neat.

Funny you mention Assassin's Creed - the exact same thing happens to me for AC... Shadow of Mordor too. In Uncharted the controls and gunplay drive me absolutely bonkers. Real shame too... Because I hear the stories are superb.

Good.

How much did you spend on spaceships bro?

Who else has even tried to interact with them in the way Dany and Tyrion have?

When did the last Targ Dragons die? Was it 400+ years ago? Wouldn't that explain why resurrection hasn't been a thing in the recent past? Dany's Dragons, the red comet, magic returning to the world etc?

Yeah man. Fucking love when games are designed for first person. The last time this was true of an MMORPG was Kunark heh.

Why are you under the impression playing EQ in third person meant 'staring at your characters ass'? This is untrue. I'm also quite certain that players who did utilize third person as a situational tool used many different views and angles to optimize their performance. I certainly did. Why...

OK dude. I never played EQ in first person. Sure.

Honestly dude... It sounds like you had great CC and healers. They were probably in third person.

Nope. We aren't discussing targeting ease/ability, that's irrelevant for reasons you mentioned. We are talking about situational/battlefield awareness. First person is inferior in that regard. There really isn't an argument to be made. First person was far more 'immersive'. That's about it.

You must have been pretty decent to have quadded without using third person dude. I remember kiting BB dwarves on my Druid before I even knew about third person and it was a fucking nightmare. Can't imagine doing Raptors or Wyverns that way.

If you were playing in first person as a CC or tank (especially off tank) class you were straight up playing sub optimally. You may have gotten by, but you weren't using every tool at your disposal, and your situational awareness suffered for it. Healers took unnecessary damage in your...

Neat, Tropico 5 is the best PS+ release since Rocket League. Glad I didn't buy it.

I'm not into the whole Survival genre - too much time commitment for my current lifestyle. But from what I hear, people are digging on Ark right now.

Uhhhh saying Blizzard 'replicated' EQ might be inaccurate, but they absolutely modelled WoW after EverQuest and refined it. I'm pretty sure I remember videos of them discussing it- they even hired the two most well known EQ players to work for them. Hell, aside from linear quest-based levelling...

Anyone who quad kited or played a Tank or CC class with any proficiency at all in dungeons was playing in third person.

Check out the Ask Amod thread. Best place to waste posts.

Sansa in Winterfell is his best move. Gives him a powerful ally in both the North and the Riverlands. If you think about it, he now has strong alliances with every house that borders The Vale (Stark/Bolton, Lannister/Kings Landing, Tulley). The guy is establishing his legacy. Sansa's poon...

...you could tell they were bad asses because they were fucking Dothraki blood riders with braids longer than my arm. They didn't need character building- it should have been clear that they weren't just screwing with their Khal. If they were he probably would have disembowelled them on the...

...she was stripping everything that was covering her. The necklace had nothing to do with it. Fucking metaphors dudes.

The combat is, without a doubt, the worst part about the Game of Thrones TV series. These heroes dying without being in battle is probably a blessing.

Appropriated demon foods.

It's probably EQ in a browser.

If it isn't burgers, chicken fingers, pancakes, bacon, clam chowder, apple pie, or BBQ, it's probably ethnic food.
