I said come in! posted:He is an alt-right gamergate guy, who one time on his Twitter went on a rant about how racism against white people is a real thing and that it's okay to have white pride. Another standout moment to me is when Notch went on a rant about how all women are sluts that only wanted his money. He has openly admitted that he is alone and has zero trust of any women because he is scared they will steal everything right from under him. The dude needs serious help.

Archonex posted:It's a bit old, but I gotta say this is really wrong. Games like Ultima 7 were literally the foundation that open world games like Skyrim were made on. Like, it's hard to describe just how amazing that game was back in the day. At times it seemed more like a world sim given how much effort was put into it. Every NPC had a schedule, a job, a house, and a set of personality traits in an era when that sort of thing was given cursory attention at best. Ya everything started going downhill with serpent isle. UO was good despite LB and he made sure to ruin it with patches and then sold it to literally the worst company ever. I think he was just super pissed at players for not respecting his wildlife simulator code that they had to remove. I loved casting dance in ultima 7 and just making the npcs all dance for no reason. Also it was great how you could cast armageddon and basically ruin the world and effectively lose the game.

), become a miner and then get eaten by a dragon when you assume that all caves had blackrock ore, etc, etc. In a lot of ways gaming still hasn't caught up to the insane level of detail and potential for loving around it had.

I think it was raph koster who was into the wildlife sim, garriot either had no opinion or was actively against it. Koster had a blog post a few months ago about the anniversary Q&A where he basically said in a roundabout way that the stories garriot was telling, he was not actually around for because he was completely absent from UO's development, and he tells all the stories wrong.

Koster's a game industry veteran which means he never says anything bad about the people who deserve it, but he created that impression when "expanding" on a story that garriot told wrong that people had asked him about.

I read this and saw the video of Garriott talking about it and basically Garriott lied tenfold about how every idea anyone ever had on the ecosystem thing made it into the game and worked flawlessly, then the guy who actually designed it pretty much said 'all we got to work was that the respawns changed sometimes when people killed all the wolves'. So not only was it mostly not the work of Lord British, but most of what he's saying is just pure bullshit. Also while I enjoy this thread it is weird to me that it's easier to get you guys to hate a bad MMO for years than it is for you to try The Lord of The Rings Online, the #1 MMO still standing

Nah wealthy people just get weirdly nitty about certain things. I have a rich great aunt who drives a nearly 100k Mercedes but wouldn't pay $2 for a banana at an airport because that's more than double what they cost!! Wealthy people waste money all the time tho, for instance I play FIFA and every year I play several Saudis who have teams where they have obviously put $500+ into the game

I don't really agree with this, though. Disposable income is just that -- disposable. I'm not robbing my budget to spend money speculating on what may end up as a bad game. I'll qualify that statement by saying even I was smart enough to not spend money on Shroud.
