If you're looking for any real horror there is nothing scary in this game.

I noticed one or two pieces of lore in the tutorial subway (were those always there?) and that got me thinking, does this game have missable lore?

I got the one from the CoM jumping puzzle before knowing about the quest.

So how is it in the relaunch?

Why would they warn you? Do other games give warning when they do things like that?

There's legitimate things to complain about but changing the mystery boxes up is not one of them.

Warframe does. :colbert:

Reading the FAQ it sounds like it'll work seemlessly. We'll see next week I guess.

Because megabosses aren't fun. Have never been fun. And will never be fun. It's just 40 people spamming whatever particle effects they can before they get killed by lag/poorly defined mechanics.

Not in this game, no. Somehow Guild Wars 2 had some fun ones. Not sure how but I won't question it.

I think it was stupid to introduce the Steam launch with a time limited endgame narrative event.

Okay but microtransaction idea:

$1.99 to be a double agent for 48 hours. Play everything the same but get the selected faction's exclusive missions/briefing text!

I've been unbanned for awhile I just wandered away out of boredom this time

Okay well play that scene in reverse then.


But way same. On the reboot my friends and I restarted and dropped real hard. I hear it's better X months after the relaunch but it was tough to throw our progress out like that. We never even made it to Tokyo...

Jumped back into this game last night with a couple friends. Does it always seem so depressingly empty?

One hive only? I have to do it multiple times to open this stack of hives?

Where is this portal or is it one of those "can't miss it" affairs?

You have to manually walk without rhythm unless you buy the VIP account for a one time upgrade of $4.99.

I would have literally kept playing the game if it wasn't for the atrocious reboot. Best MMO I ever played until then.

If I recall, there was also an expectation that the Lovecraftian horror genre would tap into and retain customers who wouldn't normally play MMOs. Since their two previous MMOs that weren't standard Tolkienesque fantasy had both successfully dethroned WoW, this wasn't considered farfetched at all.

I was literally this customer except after it went B2P.

I miss this game but having to restart from almost literally nothing with a way shittier game masquerading as this one killed any interest I had after the relaunch.

I will likely never play this again, I feel the rework of the mechanics ruined the game for me.

Is there a cool place I can read the story? It was good but I never made it to Tokyo and it's been so long that I don't remember what happened at all in the game at this point.

They found a thing and brought it back and some guy stabbed the planet and then she's flexible?

God drat this game had the potential to be something amazing.

Despite all its failures and mismanagement, the original incarnation is still my favorite MMO...

Didn't you also have to platform up the pyramid for a quest and it was extremely finnicky?


Also, did the relaunch do anything to CoM or is it still exactly what it is?

All the dungeons are now only three people, right? So if I decided to see just how bad the re-release is I would only need two suckers, not four?
