[Review] Wurm Online: The Gold Edition Shines
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 1/06/13 9:52:11 AM
Just because its a volunteer force of developers, doesn't make the graphics any less of an issue. Yes its admirable, but you have to understand that as a MMORPG, it can't be in a category of its own - it has to be against Guild Wars, EverQuest etc etc in terms of aesthetics. And if you read it, I kind of made the point, yeah it doesn't look all that great, but that isn't the point of Wurm Online. This was a positive review.

[General Article] Wurm Online: Review in Progress #2

Originally posted by Intrinsic I'd love to say it was a meaningful "the sandbox lies ahead" type image, but it's a pure and simple case of drag and drop calamity. Sorry about that... |

[Editorial] Final Fantasy XIV: Glory or Death - Part One
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 10/20/12 9:09:11 AM
For some of those that may have missed the point.
This is a Devil's Advocate type piece. Here's one view, the negative, and next week we have the positive. Let's boil it down to this is the dumb-dumb "I h8 FFXIV 4EVA" category, whereas next week we will have a considered, informed, and more forgiving approach. It was meant to be tongue-in-cheek and cause debate. That's the point. |

[Column] Guild Wars 2: Through The Eyes of a Newbie
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 8/30/12 10:00:32 AM
My point? I was excited, read everything about them, got too into the prelaunch and was disapointed because it didn't live up to the hype I had built in my mind?

[Column] Guild Wars 2: Through The Eyes of a Newbie
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 8/30/12 7:53:59 AM
Stated in opening paragraph. I write about them, but I'm specifically not read or worked on anything to do with the game. Being an MMO writer you tend to saturate yourself and leave very little suprise, I wanted to have one game that would be exciting to play. Not so hard to believe.

I think you make some good points. Wow's launch was different because it had a lot of "firsts." It managed to capture an audience that didn't neccesarily play online games, and most of them won't ever again. It will be pure randomness to see which other MMO will strike lucky and get that new breed of gamers looking for a different experience to Xbox Live. I doubt we will ever see another WoW success though - Guild Wars 2 will be succesful in the traditional sense, pre-WoW.

Apologies for not stating ArenaNet instead of NCSoft - see, really haven't been paying attention to its development...

[Editorial] General: Modern PVP Sucks and Here's Why
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 8/21/12 4:45:05 PM
Just to clarify, I did write this piece as a tongue in cheek observation of PvP. I don't really boil it down to being an unskilled "jab fest" and not all of you are "little bitches." Its an exergeration of opinion to entertain, whilst also summing up some of my more angry views, when I die for the 100th time. Bit of fun, just to cause debate - no real insults. Peace and love.

[Editorial] General: Modern PVP Sucks and Here's Why

Yeah, that was very much implied. Sometimes we like to vent at the stuff that makes us feel inferior, it was PvPs turn today! Male modelling tomorrow.

EVE Online: FanFest 2012 - Party on Top of the World
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 3/29/12 4:53:39 AM
And when this was written, no resignation, and hadn't heard of the incident. It was a massive thing at EveFest, and if I had known it would have made it in there. |

EVE Online: The EVE Online Re-Review
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 3/22/12 10:42:22 AM
I do this every time I review a game: not a fan boy/boi, just reviewing the game on its merits of what it is trying to achieve. It isn't trying to be solo-friendly, PvE centric or anything else that "turns" you off. Its genre criticism, and I subscribe to it. Sorry if it doesn't fit to your score, but you are more than allowed to post your own views and opinions, just stop trashing everyone else's.

Ultima Online: The Making of a Classic Part 2
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 2/16/12 11:28:47 AM
Adam Tingle here - I understand your point and would probably admit I have omitted MUDs somewhat, as Ultima Online, from my research, was more of a continuation of development from the series rather than taken from MUDS entirely such as DikuMUD and Neverwinter - but you are correct, the game does owe a wealth of gratitude to these early games, but the concept wasnt entirely sprung from these games.

Ultima Online: The Making of a Classic Part 1
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 2/15/12 11:26:35 AM
There was so much more to UO than the FFA/PVP bits, shame that's all its succesors have focused on. I guess that's why we have eve. |

Ultima Online: The Making of a Classic Part 1
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 2/15/12 11:09:12 AM
Why are we discussing Tibia? It was released before, but so was Meridan, NeverWinter, and MUD. The point is UO was the first massive success, before the retention numbers peaked at 25,000 rather than 250,000. UO beat the compeititon in beta demand alone. |
