Ackshually, it was $9.89/month at launch.

Wow, that's terrible. What's funny is the same chic who posted the vid that I learned about that article from (when I was checking out the Stellar Blade debacle) just popped up in my Youtube feed with a new video about the Pokemon Go update, and your post is the only reason I clicked it. Wish I...

The story is that the objective is not to make female characters ugly, but to make their appearance more trans-friendly. The examples I've seen, including the main character in Outlaws, seem to support this claim. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. "The characters in The Last of Us Part II...

So, what would be the difference if the second avatar was separate and you had the ability to give them commands? Like in Swtor and other games? Still gay? It's possible that the second avatar is just a traveling companion that is not displayed onscreen at all times, many games do this...

Yes, that was in the original version, although it was rarely shown or discussed. How is that any different than instantly switching weapons in this version? The "classless" thing isn't really classless. It's more free multiclassing like in Archeage. Although, a bit more annoying since each...

I posted the launch trailer for the original version a couple pages back. The only real similarity was that it was isometric. What we were shown looked way better than Lost Ark, in my opinion. It just boggles the mind that they would decide to scrap that and release this crap instead.

It's just my opinion, but I didn't like NWN combat. I can't really explain what's wrong with T&L combat, something is just off. I did specify FF14 "launch", as in the version of the game they had to revamp and rerelease as Reborn. If you don't remember, the zones had a lot of copy/pasting of...

So I got into the beta yesterday and tried it out for myself to see if the game had any redeeming qualities. Pros: The graphics/animations, sound, music and cutscenes are all decent, but that's standard for Korean games. I really liked the seamless transition from character creation to the...

Of course there are, and I'm sure there will be a shitload at launch...for a few weeks. If friggin Quinfall had a weekend beta you'd see the same shit. We all know there are millions of players starving for a new mmo.

You can have the same exact amount of "fun" for free. Spending a single fucking penny in this game's cash shop is just begging for more of the same shit.

It's like Flip says above, and I've mentioned several times, the game is so fucking generic. If it was generic and did all the generic shit perfectly it might be considered "OK" or "average" or maybe (MAYBE) squeak out a "good", but it doesn't. And even if it did, it would still fail hard, just...

What I've been saying for months and I've never even played the game. I think it's a little worse than "OK", "barely functional" might be more accurate. One month after Korean launch they merged the 18 servers down to 7. "During its investor call, however, NCsoft admitted that the game had...

Yeah, my first time playing Tradewars on a multi-line bbs the Sysop called me because people kept whining to him that I was destroying them. I explained to him that's like the whole point of the game. By the end of the call I was a Co-sysop. Fun times. Morgus's movies were usually better than a...

Deep cut, I remember watching Morgus back in the day. Were you on any of the local bbs's back then? Like The Point and Exoticomm?

No one gives a fuck about tatted cops if the show is good.

It's facial dysmorphia. Dysphoria is the tranny thing. That's probably next on her list. I don't think she was a 9, except on a cute, girl next door scale, the costume helped, plus makeup. Still a fucking travesty.

The patent is irrelevant in that context, I only added it to illustrate the various ways Nexon could adjust percentages. Filing a patent for such things is pants on head retarded. Nor is it necessary to have a patent to utilize such tactics. The main point is that when there is a financial...

The problem with percentage chances in an MMO (that most people don't consider) is that since the number generator is server side everyone is sharing rolls, and all the devs usually care about is if the number generator is accurate overall, not per individual. Some games will have a pity...

I put it here because I didn't want to start a new thread and Lost Ark is also a Korean MMO, so it's relevant. I'm not accusing Smilegate of anything, but we can be sure Nexon isn't the only company guilty of this, just the first one caught. It's not just gachas. I can't believe I have to...

One of the main reasons I've never trusted games with cash shops that are related in any way to a percentage chance for something:

Why stop at only using them in the game itself?

Was hardly a pump, it was a year ago and when I came across the trailer I thought it looked interesting and since there was no thread about it I made one and literally said it "looks interesting." My intention was simply to put it on our radar and have a place to discuss it as more information...

That was obviously what was going to happen. The game is generic as fuck. There are no hooks. For all the problems I have with Lost Ark at least they got the first thing right. Combat is the core of the fucking game, make it good. Not only did they show how clueless they are with the gameplay...

Instead of this generic P2W blandfest we could have had a decent looking P2W Lost Ark clone.

The auto-play wasn't a main feature, just a way to afk grind small amounts of xp. And the combat changes are basically just not making nearly every ability root you in place and adding auto-attacks. A lot of the issues with the game are because when they scrapped the isometric version they...

Why bother? Hardcore is a one-trick pony that isn't really sustainable. And if you're going to remove things that help you, than you'd need to remove/fix stupid things that kill you. Like the elevator in Undercity. Of course, if you did that you'd also be removing a large part of what makes...

Nope. Krull.

I wasn't implying anything. I was stating my perception of Rafe Judkins motivations for being such a twat. Which I base on statements made by the fag himself, and by the obvious evidence. Every deviation from the established characters and lore is plainly done with no other purpose than to piss...

If you know the "statistics" on what percentage of fantasy readers world-wide are white I'd love to hear them. At least we can agree that the majority are straight, right?

It's important to understand that it's not just "willingness", shitting it up is the point. This isn't a case of some retard thinking he can improve on the source material. It's about deliberately making changes to piss off the mostly straight/white fanbase. What I don't get are people who...

I wouldn't mind a remake if it was quality and they directly adapted the graphic novel. Zero need for a remake that is a copy of the original movie, or a new version.

Early onset dementia? Or just a lame attempt at a joke? I'm genuinely curious.

It's only been like 3000 years since the Breaking. Even if it was 30,000 I am pretty sure that's not long enough for evolution to change skin color, but I'm no expert. They didn't make all the Aiel blek, they just had to make Aviendha blek to diversify Rand's harem. Which of course, makes it...

It made perfect sense in the books. The Aiel were not indigenous desert people, they fled there after the Breaking. And staying there became part of their culture. There's also a lore reason for the veiling. How does someone who read the books not know this? Didn't finish?

Resting is just another dumb mechanic. But, "realistically" long resting after each encounter makes sense. Because you are on a "game" map that you can travel from one end to the other in minutes walking, or just use a waypoint. The game doesn't try to represent the actual travel distance of...

Or someone could just make a mod to remove the need for camping supplies, since it's such a useless and pointless mechanic that only exists so you have to pick up food.

Compared to who exactly? He's a fucking vampire. Why would he not be a dick? This ain't Twilight. To him you're just food.
