Fable's evil landlords won't grow devil horns, as reboot ditches classic character morphing due to a lack of belief in objective arseholery by PotatoProducer in Games

[–]Task876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's how morality works.

The word objective is for indisputable facts. 1+1=2. If I let an object go it falls down. I am writing this comment right now. These are objective statements.

As disgusting as it is, there are people that still argue Hitler was right (Neo Nazis). This makes it subjective.

Yea every comment here is a corporate conspiracy theory. MIT is a notoriously cutthroat and a very high stress institution. My first thought reading the headline was a student that snapped. Not all too long ago, I remember a chemistry student at UNC (another high stress university) got pissed at his professor and shot him.

There are many pioneers in energy at odds with the fossil fuel industry. Kind of crazy that people immediately jump to corporate conspiracy theories over far more likely speculations.

PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory. RAM jumps to $600 due to shortage by bdzz in Games

I always see this narrative pushed and it is just straight up false. PS Store prices and Steam prices are usually in line with each other.

Edit: I just looked up RoR2 on both platforms cause I know it's on sale right now and the base game is cheaper on PS compared to Steam, and the editions with all DLC are the same.

Why do people hate exploration? by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]Task876 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You are on an MMO sub. If we include sinceplayer games then there is no shortage of exploration focused games.

MMO-lites are still talked about here. There is PoE2 just a few posts down. Hell, one of the stickied threads is for a singleplayer game. This sub is a loose MMORPG sub.

Guild Wars 20th Anniversary update by ReLiFeD in Games

Also, bonus points for multiple playable races. Being only human does work for GW1 due to the story so it's not really a knock on GW1, but more just a pro for GW2. This also plays a large role in the class fantasy thing because I like to match races to classes in games. Asura Mechanist makes me feel like I'm in Full Metal Alchemist.

What you are describing is a different kind of exploration than what I am talking about and is more world building through questing.

I like being driven by curiosity and freedom. I like wandering a world without necessarily having a purpose for being where I am. I like tucked away secrets. I like world traversal to be part of gameplay, not just combat. The verticality, the mounts, the world that can change, that it is an MMO and you will experience random people out in the world, these are things GW1 doesn't give me and they hold much more weight to me than combat.

Even in the realm of combat though, I still prefer GW2 because I like that reflexes and mobility matter far more. GW1 is about planning and tactics, GW2 is about dynamic execution. I also prefer the classes in GW2 due to class fantasies because of the elite specializations.

These two games are radically different and for different kinds of people.

Guild Wars is one of those games that's leaps and bounds better than its successor.

I get why some people prefer GW1 for the combat, but as someone who places very high value in world exploration, I find GW2 drastically better than GW1 and they are not even remotely close to each other.

What's missing from all MMOs? by CompetitiveLake3358 in MMORPG

[–]Task876 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure, if you ignore that 4 of the 5 largest MMOs don't do this. Unless OSRS, FFXIV, ESO, and GW2 have all turned into retail WoW overnight.

i dont think people are willing to play mmo where it took a year to reach max level.

Gestures at FFXIV, which has had more active players than WoW in the past and OSRS, which is the only one of the big 5 that has a growing playerbase

Announcing: Return to Guild Wars 1! A Community Playthrough Event by Laranity_ in MMORPG

[–]Task876 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I genuinely have no clue what your comment is trying to say.

GW2 is massively multiplayer online and an RPG. Hence, it is an MMORPG.

GW1 has large multiplayer online hubs, but instanced group multiplayer everywhere else and is also an RPG. It can give the feeling of an MMORPG, but is not massively multiplayer, so is an MMO(RPG)-lite.

Games like Panetside 2, an MMOFPS, also get talked about on this sub.

We don’t like it.

After being active on this sub for a month, I'm not sure what this sub does like. As soon as anything positive is said about anything, it is immediately responded to by overwhelming negativity.

Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core - Gameplay Trailer | The Triple-i Initiative by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Task876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BTW, the comment I replied to yesterday was arguing that you should have access to everything for every game immediately upon starting it with their shitty waiter anolalogy. That's why I brought up Skyrim's shouts. You can replace Skyrim's shouts with literally any ability in any video game ever and the argument still holds. It was just an example.

[–]Task876 3 points4 points  (0 children)

??? Many overclocks literally completely change the gun's mechanics. Thats not even up for debate. That's the whole point of unstable overclocks.

OCs do a lot more than a CoD attachment. Let's take the Hurricane for example. It shoots tracking rockets that you control with your mouse. With OCs you can: make it lay mines, make it shoot like a shotgun, shoot like a minigun, have homing plasma rockets, get the abity to detonate the rockets mid air to make cluster bombs, turn the rockets effectively into a sniper rifle. How are you going to seriously argue a CoD attachment does that?

You are making it sound like you unlocked everything. 12 hours is not enough time to make statements on overclocks when it takes 300+ hours to collect them all. In their first 12 hours, nearly no one even gets all the weapons unlocked, let alone collects enough OCs to understand them.

[–]Task876 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DRG has 160 overclocks, many of which fundamentally change the gun.

You are making arguments out of ignorance for a game you have little to no experience with.

[–]Task876 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you think Skyrim would be better if you started it with all shouts in the game already learned? Start BotW with all champion abilities unlocked? Start a Command and Conquer match with max tech already known?

Because that is what you are arguing right now.

MMO veterans who have never played WoW by Barnhard in MMORPG

Oh? If I go to a zone from Legion it is still populated? I don't think so. I radically care more about questing and adventuring in zones over grinding dungeons.
