Zoraptor Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 One thing I do think this thread can do less with, is those 10-20 minute Youtube news reels that where a few people draw out video game news. To an extent you can blame Google for that. Youtube monetisation favours one 10 minute plus video over lots of little ones, so you get 10 minute plus videos.

Vitalis Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Not surprised to hear Wildstar is ending. I wanted to like it but just could not get into it. The game that saw content removed from Guild Wars 2. Good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majestic Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Also bugger off of Sonic. This thread would be almost dead without him so let him do his thing.The thread itself has proven your point already. If we're being honest, it's gotten pretty bland now, since the drama died down. Then again, perhaps it was the drama that was entertaining souls and not the news after all? Or maybe, just maybe there aren't any interesting gaming news right now. I mean it's kinda proving the point with barely anyone replying to your trailer marathon. I have to admit I almost fell for the Wing Commander trolling a page back. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicMage117 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) I know I speak for every member here when I say: "Rest in peace, we're going to miss you and your games". I actually had to google them, and they only did sequels to someone else's zombie game? Yeah, the Dead Rising sequels. Dead Rising 4 is what docked them at bay though. It was phenomenal on Xbox One but horribly received on pc. I mean, I enjoyed it but people hated that players were given more freedom and removed the time restraints and escort missions. Usually I'm all for renoving player freedom and adding time restraints in rpg's but I was really glad they did this for Dead Rising 4 because it allowed me to explore the nice open world at my own pace, level up my character by tedious grinding. I liked that and saw that an improvement to the franchise. Others saw it as a devolvement and casualization for the series. I have to admit I almost fell for the Wing Commander trolling a page back. It's not trolling, Dark Star One is an arcade space game that did alot of sim things better than Wing Commander, alot of people til this day are still butt hurt over it. They got even more butt hurt wjen it was remastered exclusively on Xbox 360 with an array of improvements. The Wing Commander audience was never able to accept that and with their faulty reason, it showed. Look at it here if you're interested: https://youtu.be/jB889hQFK6Q And you will see why the division of the Wing Commader fan-base became such a thing. Quite funny how a cartoony game could do such a thing, but still an anazing game nonetheless. Most people don't know about it but that doesn't mean it didn't happen hehe Edited September 28, 2018 by SonicMage117 Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey?

SonicMage117 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Lego DC Super Duper Villains cast confirms: Kevin Conroy as Tge Batman Mark Hamill as The Joker Tara Strong as Harley Quinn Michael Rosenbaum as The Flash Michael Ironside as Darkseid John Barrowman as Dark Archer/Malcom Merlyn Travis Willingham as Superman Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor Nolan North as Ultraman David Sobolov as Gorilla Grodd, Dr. Fate and Lobo Julie Newman as Silver Banshee And many more. I suppose I could have just said "All the actors/actressses from the Animated series are reprising their roles" essentially but that wouldn't be any fun. Soul Calibur 6 beta is now live and open to anyone... live stream here (currently live). youtu.be/DZAOoQ2dcW4 Beta will be live I believe til October 1st iirc.

SonicMage117 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I really wanted Grant Gustin for the Flash kinda like how Stephen Amell was the Green Arrow in Lego Batman 3. I'm still hoping that Jason Mamaoa plays Aquaman for the movie dlc, that would be so cool. Fingers and other things crossed! Just what do you think you're doing?!

marelooke Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Not surprised to hear Wildstar is ending. I wanted to like it but just could not get into it. Gave it a shot as well, mostly because the supposedly good housing system. Didn't much mind the graphics but the story was so cringeworthy (even by MMO standards) that I really couldn't find any motivation to trod on. Not surprised to hear Wildstar is ending. I wanted to like it but just could not get into it. The game that saw content removed from Guild Wars 2. Good riddance. Wait what? What content and how? NCSoft afaiu only "publishes" GW2, but ArenaNet is pretty independent otherwise. Oh, related news: GW2 also pulled their "lootboxes" in Belgium (hell, Belgian players couldn't even buy "premium currency" for a while).

No idea where you heard that nonsense, they had negative feedback from Asians because of the melting pot nature of the district and that's why it was cut.

Hope they find another, less predatory way, to make money as GW2 is like the only MMO I can still enjoy.

Now is the perfect time to poach talent from Carbine Studios! How many MMOs are even still going? That were started years ago? Define "going" (and "years ago", come to think of it ), there's quite a few old ones that are still around, looked this up when someone claimed WoW was the oldest still running MMO (Haha. No.). Many are on life support though, or are being horribly mismanaged (everything that used to be run by SOE, for example). Some MMOs are older than you'd think as well. "Relevant" (as in: the ones I expect to ring bells with at least some people) ones that are still going and started up to 10 years ago: Ultima Online: 1997 EverQuest: 1999 PlaneShift: 2000 Anarchy Online: 2001 RuneScape: 2001 Final Fantasy XI: 2002 Ragnarok Online: 2002 EVE Online: 2003 Lineage 2: 2003 MapleStory: 2003 EverQuest 2: 2004 Vendetta Online: 2004 World of Warcraft: 2004 Guild Wars: 2005 (servers still up, no more updates though) Silkroad Online: 2005 Dungeons & Dragons Online: 2006 The Lord of the Rings Online: 2007 Age of Conan: Hyborean Adventures: 2008 Full list here. I don't think it's 100% up-to-date as some of the websites of the older lesser known ones (like Terra, which is not to be confused with Tera) seem dead which, presumably, means the game is as well.
