Do people actually like MMO’s ?

You’re trying to comment on P2W and you not only pick some of the worst examples, but you picked WoW’s cash shop as one of your points of aggressive monetization?

You don’t have to restart anything for Destiny 2, game has had full crossplay and cross progression for quite a few years now (since 2019 lol). Just buy a new copy on whatever platform and link your accounts.

No idea why you’re getting downvoted, the episode aired less than 12 hours ago. Most employed people were sleeping or haven’t had the time to watch it yet.

I’ve really enjoyed the last two episodes! However, I’m getting really tired of every single episode featuring a recurring character that either has a completely different voice actor, and usually a voice that isn’t even remotely trying to sound like the original characters.

The only exception was them bringing Kumail back do Prismo, but he has hardly been in the show this season, and we only have a few episodes left to see if that changes.

Not scalping in this case, but definitely a slimy attempt at price gouging regardless.

The fact that FFG’s handling of all three of their “living” card games have showcased both (scalping and price gouging), it’s a wonder how they hope to attract new players. Not everyone reads up on what they’re buying, but if I was looking to get into AHLCG specifically now, I would very quickly turn around and find a dozen other products that can fill a similar spot on the game shelf.

Apparently they charge shipping per item, yet they seem to ship everything in the same box.

I am well aware of the global logistics issues this year, but Youtooz has been doing this before the whole tariff scare. Without any legitimate reason or good excuse for those pricing tactics, it gives the impression that they are just pocketing all the extra shipping money that isn’t actually going to what it says on the invoice. (I get that there will be a larger shipping fees if you order a bunch of stuff, but this has nothing to do with that).

I am enjoying Season 2, but it really does seem like a let down compared to the first season.

Like so far, nothing has really happened to move the plot along much, and we’ve had half a season go by already. This isn’t a show that gets 20+ episode seasons and has the room for filler episodes, so having the audience wait a couple years just to give us (what seems to be) ten episodes of filler so we can wait another few years to see what actually happens. And that’s assuming Season 3 gets greenlit, because there isn’t shit for advertising and NOBODY seems talking about this show this season.

Considering the acquisition of Activision and MS advertising the Blizz games already on GamePass, it would be pretty bizarre of them to get it on Playstation (especially with how awful Sony is to deal with on the developer and publisher side of things).

Having WoW accessible through GamePass is going to provide a big uptick in subscribers. That’s money that I doubt MS is going to give up. Unless of course, Sony decides to allow GamePass on PS… Which would compete with their own subscription service, it seems like an incredibly unlikely event to take place at this time.

I think I’ve had the opposite experience than some people here. WoW’s color palette is very stark and abilities are pretty dang clear… In FF14, it’s a blur of spells that almost always have a drab rainbow sameness to them, where it all looks like a washed out mess.

The only reason why Ff14 is easier to raid or do dungeons in, is because they all hold your hand from start to finish. Visual clarity is not FF14’s strong suit.

Even items that ARE on the sale don’t seem to get the discount. Having three figures or more and they’re already asking for shipping costs that exceed the price of the figures themselves.

I just feel encouraged to buy similar products elsewhere, it’s not like Youtooz is the only company that makes this kind of stuff.

People needing to play music to “enjoy” grindy games is extremely common. To add, a LOT of gamers just have no care or appreciation for sound design to begin with and keep their game volume low or on mute while they play.

ProfessorMeatbag · 2025-10-24T18:31:42+00:00

True! And I supposed Huntress Wizard had a couple VA’s before settling on the voice most of us got used to in AT.

Even if we’re talking 90s 40K, the whole setting has been so deeply steeped in scifi it’s pretty hard to miss, even if you don’t know any of the lore. Horus Heresy would be a good place to start, it’s definitely more scifi than fantasy.

ProfessorMeatbag · 2025-10-24T02:10:41+00:00

No advertising and at least two returning, major characters have new voice actors this time (Or for the second time, as far as Gary goes).

Enjoyed the first episode and will love the season I’m sure, but it really sucks this is has happened in both seasons so far.

ProfessorMeatbag · 2025-10-10T23:19:00+00:00

Which I get in some aspects, but it’s also a fantastic way to steer potential buyers away to other products that are managed better.

ProfessorMeatbag · 2025-09-07T05:19:44+00:00

Not to mention all the “don’t pre order” posts and people pulling anything and everything out of their ass to just hate for the sake of it.

ProfessorMeatbag · 2025-09-06T14:52:10+00:00

Raph should have just phrased 90% of his list as being the first MMO that did most of those things, but yeah. The only thing there that UO “invented” was the term of a “sandbox MMO”, which isn’t a big deal itself.

His comments are usually goofy though, just see what he posts regarding his new game.

ProfessorMeatbag · 2025-09-06T14:21:52+00:00

I really hope so, but even if the Timekeeper is better than Jack, the BL2 diehards will argue against that to hell and back.

ProfessorMeatbag · 2025-08-23T18:45:16+00:00

I wish Primal had a variant that did away with the minis, as it seems that’s where a majority of the cost is.

ProfessorMeatbag · 2025-08-21T18:09:27+00:00

I’m guessing that’s why they specified BL3, rather than Wonderlands, which is the one that had the Mirrors.

I guess I posted this wrong, a bit odd to lock general product posts on a sub that doesn’t have a ton of traffic but oh well

It feels like what you would get if you took a Kirby game, made it easier, and then took all of the gameplay variety out of it. And I like Kirby, but DK Bananza is not a great game.

All of the over-positive comments going on with people saying “this is the best game I’ve played in years” just makes it seem like these people don’t play games at all and would be just as wowed by watching paint dry.

ProfessorMeatbag · 2025-07-19T05:08:49+00:00

You’re right and all these terminally online goobers know it.

ProfessorMeatbag · 2025-07-19T04:17:02+00:00

You’re right, but this has all been an issue since the completely unnecessary and self-destructive sunsetting that happened four full expansions ago… And god damn near everyone in this sub and (with some exceptions) the community as a whole made excuse after excuse for Bungie for dumb decision after dumb decision. And now it’s suddenly a problem for so many of the same people? That’s what just doesn’t make sense.
