I know another normal whose favorite series is Uncharted. He asked me how I felt about Destiny a couple of weeks after it came out and I told him how it was pretty fun on a very basic level but explained the various flaws in the wannabe MMO aspects of the game and told him he should hold out for a sale because once the main storyline is finished it's not worth continuing into all of the grindy endgame crap. He bought it full price shortly after that and hasn't touched another game since.

is this like one of those situations where people say "my friend" when really they mean to say "I" because this is a judgment-free zone, feel free to let it out

Nope, my opinion of Destiny is contained right within that post. The shooting is solid and the game is pretty fun despite walking a very fine line between good and poo poo during the main part of the game.

Destiny was extremely fun and good for about 2 weeks, maybe in a year or so it'll be fun for another 2 weeks

Pretty accurate. I think it actually managed to be a lot of people's first MMO, which will hopefully hurt the genre in the long term

Well that and GTAV is one of the most expensive games ever made and had a staff of over 1000 people while the last two Saints Row games were made by a smaller team while their publisher was in freefall, declaring bankruptcy, and then selling them to a smaller German publisher.

GTA Online is a boring shitheap though because Rockstar doesn't give a gently caress about whether you're having fun or not. If Saints Row Online were a thing it would be goofy and fun as gently caress

Every story mission/scene in GTA is like the antithesis of the reason why people think GTA is fun. They actively don't want you to enjoy yourself.

I have enjoyed a lot of the GTAV missions. A shitload more than the ones in GTAIV anyway.

Blizzard announced that they're moving away from the MMORPG genre.

World of Warcraft dropped 3 million subscribers in a single quarter. However people are loving the gently caress out of Diablo 3 which constituted a major shift in what the company is going to focus on going forward.


It's over, the MMO genre is dead.

I know Wildstar bombed so badly that they're going f2p , but I haven't heard anything. However blizzard did move a ton of wow developers to heroes of the storm, sc2 and d3, so who knows. The lead director of wow is now the same guy who hosed up Diablo.

Holy poo poo guys I just found out about this cool program called D-Fend Reloaded. It's a frontend for DosBox with tons of features like downloading games from the program itself. It's pretty drat cool.

http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/index.html

I just downloded 4D Prince of Persia and played it. It's a hard version mod of the Dos PoP. It's great.

it actually happened.

Heroes of the Storm has over 10 million people playing beta at this point. They pretty much said "yeah people will comeback to WoW if the content is the right kind, but the right kind of content is not the MMO kind of content." All they're doing is figuring out how to monetized what's not yet monetized from World of Warcraft in order to try and offset the decreasing profit and balance the shrinking profit with the shrinking userbase so they make absolutely sure that there will be no money left for them to make from it.

it's business speak for they're going to squeeze all possible avenues of money from the shrinking playerbase because they know the ship is sinking. They're not going to bother to grow the playerbase back because they know nobody loving likes MMOs.

Hell they wrote a freakin update article about how much fun it is camping rare spawns for days on end.
