News Comments > World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Intro
18. Re: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Intro Oct 18, 2010, 17:37 Esoteric
 
After the patch, does that mean I could try the trial and see the lower level Cataclysm changes? Most likely won't play it, but I'm a bit curious to see how everything's changed.

News Comments > Valve Denies Steam Trade-in Plans
42. Re: Valve Denies Steam Trade-in Plans Oct 15, 2010, 01:06 Esoteric
 
The most expensive game from Valve on Steam is The Orange Box at 30 bucks, which is still a great deal. Everything else of THEIRS is 20 or less. So yes, I think they have decent prices.

They don't decide the prices for other company's products, so it's wrong to blame them. Publishers don't want to always offer cheap prices on Steam because that would cause problem with the brick and mortar retailers.

Oh, and Pachter is an idiot.

That's a lot of expansions... Is that a record? How many expansions did the Sims 2 have?

This is worth a try if you like tower defense games. It has more of a learning curve than defense grid, but it's fun, and it has multiplayer.

It still has one of the best combat systems in an MMO.

I like Bioware, but for some reason I don't think this is going to be a very good MMO.

This is just a bad MMO, and I'm a fan of MMOs in general, I cut them some slack on release. But the base gameplay here is so fundamentally bad that I can't imagine anyone but a few masochists having fun with it. Combat is horrid.

News Comments > Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition
4. Re: Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition Oct 1, 2010, 03:52 Esoteric
 
This is one of those games where I can appreciate it being a good game, but I don't particularly enjoy playing it. And I'm a big fan of RPGs. It wasn't horrible for me, but I feel I should have enjoyed it more.

It's kind of like music. I can hear a band and think that they're good at what they do, and I can understand why other people would like them, yet I don't particularly like them myself.

News Comments > Mythic Entertainment MMOG Reenlistment

To be honest, WAR isn't half bad nowadays. It's the best current option for PvP/RvR, period. Unfortunately, this is a niche in itself, and the rough launch and the continued perception after that has hurt it a lot.

It still has problems of course, but T1-T3 is a blast to play, and T4 can still be fun at times. My GF and I just started playing again (after playing from launch to about 9 months), and we're having fun.

This is a RvR game. You will die a lot by other real people. (this is why PvP/RvR focused games will always be niche)

It's a terrible game, but it will have a niche, masochistic crowd that enjoys it.

I just set this to download while I sleep and I have no idea why, I hate MMOs and I didn't even like the Lord of the Rings movies or books. Hell, I didn't even like the Hobbit cartoon when I was a kid. Trying a free game is one hell of a temptation I guess is what I am getting at.

If this is a soulless game about collecting 10 rabbit skins without any kind of driving narrative though I'll uninstall it in 10 minutes like I did WoW, Champions and all the rest. I'm sure it will be.

It is story-driven, and/but you do have to read the quest text to appreciate it. There is a tutorial zone that you'll be in until 6-7, so keep that in mind.

What weapon are you trying to get that's so important? Seriously, you can play any character with the vanilla weapons and do just as well. If you're playing TF2 for rewards, you're playing it for the wrong reason to begin with. If you have skill, you get rewarded by being able to kill others better than they kill you.

This is a good game, anyone the least bit interested in a quality MMO should check it out. If you do decide to play long term, you will probably want to spend some money, but it's still cheaper than a sub, and you can choose exactly what you want.

Great video. I've been following GW2 pretty closely and everything I hear and see about the game sounds great. They're definitely trying to do new things in new ways. It's definitely the only MMO I'm currently looking forward to.

I just started playing The Legend, I really like it. Very nice whimsical graphics, exploration, and good tactical combat.

And if you already purchased the game you're automatically a premium player.
What if one buys the game before the 8th and registered?

I'm 99% sure you would be a premium player, if you are still able to purchase the game/expansions.
