They fired the person who used to make their preview media look remotely appealing.

Was this the person/people responsible for the original trailers too? Would explain the terrible f2p dance party video.

I hope they did fire that guy, because the pre-release "THIS GAME IS 2XTREME4YOU CUPCAKE" trailers pretty much soured me on the game before it even came out. You know, even before the awful design and gameplay did.

Oh, I'm not a fan of the OH YEAH level up narration guy or any other use of that "joke" either. I just meant I kinda liked the ones that were like little short films or silly Protostar commercials. :shobon:

I unironically like Anders as a character.
That guy complained about people who want to play the game for free and having to pay to play the game in the same rant.

Like I said before if Wildstar wasn't a steaming bucket of piss those ridiculous "OH YEAH EXTREME BONESAW IS READY CUPCAKE!" videos and their announcer announcer would have been a quirky and mildly divisive part of the game. Unfortunately as it is its actually it's a giant steaming tower of failure.

Not only did the game look like poo poo, it ran like poo poo on even great computers.

Raise Chris Coons' taxes so that we can have Medicare for All.

pretty sure the reason the game failed was because of a crippling series of bugs, dupes that destroyed the economy, retarded grind to get to what everyone wanted to do, unfun poo poo mechanics that were poorly thought out like mount sprint, the game just looking kind of lovely regardless of whether you like the art style, and the series of developer decisions that made it very clear what direction they wanted the game to go and how lovely that direction was

whether you think they overused a joke is so beside the point it doesn't matter

I feel that posting all the poo poo that made this a lovely game will somehow bring back my 60 dollars and my pride in my ability to tell a good game from bad.

It never does.

I think that's just a reddit thing that the score is hidden for X hours after things are posted. I used to lurk on an Elder Scrolls reddit and I'm pretty sure it did that. (Unless that's a specific setting a subreddit has to choose, I dunno.)

I got to like level 15 and it was just such poo poo. It was empty but cluttered. It was clunky but I felt like I was on ice. It was like every single bad feature put together.

If anyone's considering coming back for F2P and hasn't used their 10 day trial yet, you can use it right now and you'll get the birthday month gifts added to your account permanently because you logged in during this month.

Get that cupcake and that pink goat sheep thing.
