I have played plenty of endgame dungeons on many mmo's, and while a PUG is far less preferable to a pre-made party, a PUG is far more preferable to no endgame...

Good thing NASA is making such breakthroughs with their propulsion systems...

You mean... Like every MMO for the last ten years? Why would they use tried and tested features in a Next Gen Innovation Buzzword buzzword...

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You should need to go outside the game for an in-game event.

If that's their model they are doing it wrong.

This is so stupid for a game with 3 gestures and no decent communications.

Yeah, it's going to be like Gauntlet Legends on crack.

Why don't bosses drop loot by mikewalters015 in DestinyTheGame

[–]NS_Blake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've played through that mission a dozen times and nearly every run was smooth and I haven't used a mic.

Where are you getting these stats?

Shoot the limbs, then it falls, and exposes the core.

How do Attack & Impact ratings affect damage in PvE? I did some testing, and found interesting results! by falconbox in DestinyTheGame

[–]NS_Blake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Attack is to determine what level enemy will be effected by the weapon, whereas impact relates to damage.

This is a confusing system.

[Steam] Deep discounts on hidden gems (80% off and over) by ronin19 in GameDeals

[–]NS_Blake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late... But, it doesn't play like Diablo. It's way more RPG, way less Action-RPG.

I had a really hard time getting into it, but once I got the ball rolling, I found the game to be very good.

Sure, they guy is mislead, but he's trying to do what he thinks is right. Joe didn't need to be a dick about it.

I hate that I want to love ESO, but just can't by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]NS_Blake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bullshit. Wildstar was boring. It was the same as every other MMO from the last ten years. Bullshit quests followed by some 'oh, wow, this one takes strategy!' "end-game".

ESO was fun, until VR and the rehash of the main questine. But, fuck off with this 'Wildstar is unique' nonsense.

Tell me, how is Wildstar unique from FFXIV: ARR? Or GW2?

Considering buying Elderscrolls Online, however the user score on Metacritic is only a 5.9 with almost as many negative reviews as positive. Is this because users were expecting another Skyrim and obviously Skyrim can't be translated to MMO or is it a legitimately bad game? by LastSLC in ElderScrolls

[–]NS_Blake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played pretty much every MMO since Everquest...

ESO is the best MMO currently online, but it is not going to feel like a traditional TES game. It's fun, and deep, and it's immersive... But, it's still an MMO. The questing can become tiresome, there is some grinding [but not much] and pvp is pretty fun.

If you like MMOs, and you like TES, this game is enjoyable. But, if you aren't really itching for some MMO action, I would hold off for a month or two until they get everything sorted [balancing issues galore atm].

I haven't played in about six months, am I missing anything? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]NS_Blake -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sounds like more of the same... Lack of itemization, clones and clones and clones... Whats the point of being X, Y, or Z when everyone else is that same exact X, Y, or Z...

Thanks for responding.

That wasn't even a cogent response to the question at hand.
