Blaise Guy is your average white teenager who likes video games. He enjoys the idea of an MMO, but often finds them lacking. He is most at home in the midst of a large scale PvP adventure in Azeroth, from the World of Warcraft franchise.
He totally wishes Blizzard made a Starcraft MMO instead.
Hmmm? What? MMOs? Oh, I gave up on those a while back.
Maybe Blizzard's next one will be nice, you know, in five years when they finally release it.
Maybe.
More likely, though, it will come out, completely dominate the market, and then go cash…
Well, as far as I could perhaps tell from my limited EVE-xperience...
- Players are currently taking PLEX around the universe with only their, probably quite cheap, ships to lose, because PLEX is a 'special' item that can't be destroyed/looted/wha…
Originally posted by VirusDancer I think it is a combination of people not thinking the games are worth the money and simply not having as much disposable income. I'm glad I only spent $19.99 for DoW2 Gold... I would have hated to have paid full pr…
A good graphics engine has scalability. If this is the third iteration of their engine, hopefully they're getting closer and closer to having a well-scaling engine, i.e. one that looks kinda the same on low settings, but can run on a NVidia GeForce …
Ooo, nice one maplestone.
My problem is this:
Arcade games are designed to be fun. Fun games can be totally ridiculous, have no storyline or relevance to anything, and just be about going on a Rampage! or something like that.
MMOs were origina…
Nawwww... it's a shame the trolls have caused you to perhaps overthink something like linking your work. But besides that, a writer's work is liked by people subjectively. Some people will like your work, others will hate it, all based on some of th…
I love how people jump to conclusions just by reading other people's posts.
3rd person? Yay.
System options? Yay.
Let's hope it's like Heroes of Newerth's Open Beta - where it was for like a year before they released it.
Also, buy Heroes of …
My WoW account got hacked along with like, a few hundred thousand other WoW people.
I wouldn't be surprised if my account was in there with the others. Or somewhere else, at least, my old account details.
Hopefully some small company will build something unique and interesting from such a great IP. I'd like to see a game that really throws balance out the window on some levels.
A huge orc should be able to deal huge crushing and physical blows, one…
I use facebook to subtely flirt with people in order to coax them into a threesome, what's so wrong with that?
That said, FACEBOOK CREDITS? AAAAAUGh... *shoots self in head*
This is why I like EVE online's system of paying...
You're paying a subscription each month to play the game. You can purchase PLEX for money, which you can either use to keep playing the game (in leiu of paying subscription) or you can sell it, i…
I... I just don't see what's so hard about servers... How many bytes of data do players really need? To get a player position/rotation/current animation/every piece of gear on them/race/class/face/hair/skin colour... should all only be about one kil…
With regards to paying a dude to level your character for you...
I think, when it's such a common practice like it seems to be, you should just be able to purchase from the company whose game is being leveled already. Same with gold.
Then, let's…
Niche is the future indeed. Or at least independent is the future... no progression will be made with the publisher ball and chain attached.
Doesn't even have to be targetting a niche market, it just has to be small and well polished. If a game ha…
They set the bars at "good, polished game." for the MMO genre.
Other companies have been jumping, and failing to get over the metophorical high-jump bar I'm imagining in my mind.
If you can't make a solid, fun, critical-bug-free game, then you f…
I'm looking forward to games becoming a larger thing, expanding throughout all of our little new social networking nooks and crannies.
I just hope they do it in a reasonable fashion, as opposed to an automated twitter message "xXJacksonXx has just…
Doom 3...
The flashlight to see the upcoming danger, or a weapon to kill it. Not both.
Some hated that, I thought it added to the flavour of the game. Eventually, you could just live off the gun-fire lighting during fights, although some pros pr…
My main problem with F2P games: engineered extra grind for free players, and getting the exp percentages vs. cost down to a science to get the most people to pay for them.
Wait a sec... what implications would this have on EVE?
OH MY GOD. EVERYONE WOULD BE TOO AFRAID OF REAL LIFE LAW SUITS TO ATTACK OTHER PLAYERS, SINCE PLEX IS RMT!
:O
Since Pilot License EXtentions(?) are about $17.50 each (I think $35 for 2, f…
