MMOs aren't dead. They've just changed and games that weren't MMOs are crimping mechanics from them.
WOW dominated that market for so long that it's too dangerous for most to invest in. On the flip side, singleplayer and multiplayer games are d…
The MMORPG destination is just a subject of the time it was created in. Game websites used to be able to specialise but fewer and fewer sites can sustain those models.
Strategy Informer broadened their content years ago and finally changed their na…
Originally posted by Damon Originally posted by DetectiveChat Is it 'becoming' too casual or are there just more options for casual players. Those hardcore experiences are still out there.
I agree that the hardcore games exist, but I want a ha…
I really don't believe this needed to be done. Sleeping Dogs was a vibrant world with great gameplay, so I'm concerned that this might fall short of those original achievements.
Originally posted by Robokapp Originally posted by Quirhid I don't want old upgraded games even if they are upgraded versions of the ones I enjoyed. I want entirely new games, so I can learn and master something new.

It seems pretty unanimous that while it would be good, MMOs and hardware aren't ready yet. MMOs have always had to make sacrifices in terms of presentation to support the more demanding networking requirements. It'll likely trickle down though, like…

It's largely because 2D experiences thrive on unique art styles nowadays while 3D games are usually pursuing ultra-…
There may not be loads recently released, but there are certainly lots coming down the pipe later in the year.
What sort of experience are you specifically looking for?
Originally posted by Gylfi I enjoyed reading many of your posts, there's good reasoning especially the realization that themepark tropes are obsolete.

I think they're both incredibly intelligent people and important in communicating science to a broader audience but of course there are many who go unnoticed because they're so focused on a specific field and not looking to shout it from the rooftop…
Hardware is much more difficult to anticipate because manufacturing is often an unknown field for start-ups.
But in terms of games, a lot of people have very little understanding of how much development actually costs and crowdfunding made that wor…
