Does this lead to players who have effectively outleveled the content continuing to do it, and thus making it trivial for whoever they happen to group with? For example, when I played FFXIV, they made it so that you got bonus rewards for queueing f…

I personally prefer 10-12 skills. There are a lot of games with skill bloat, like FF14 and EQ2. I remember having more than 30 skills that I regularly used in EQ2 and it was ridiculous to keep track of. In FF14, it's more like an 8 skill rotation wi…

Rienni said: The impression I got from T&L reviews is that PvE content is light and repetitive once you hit max level and it turns into more guild based PvP. This article makes it seem like there is plenty of PvE to do. Is this the case …

I usually end up gravitating towards vertical progression simply because the games themselves are better designed. However, I do like the TESO handles progression by adding new active and passive abilities with each expansion, and earning passive st…

I don't think we're even remotely close to an AI generated world being successful (we've seen a ton of those crash and burn already), but it's definitely possible for AI NPCs to do menial tasks around the world or have dynamic conversations with pla…

My biggest concern with Veilguard, based on reading/viewing both positive and negative reviews, is how seemingly sanitized the world/story seems to be. The environments look super clean, the characters are pleasant most of the time, and there don't …

I personally think a lot of that has to do with the removal or simplification of sandbox elements or life skills in modern MMORPGs. In older MMORPGs, EverQuest, SWG, RuneScape, Tibia, Ragnarok Online, etc., there was a huge amount of player freedom …

One of the original MMO Lite's, Guild Wars, is one of my favorite games of all times. It brought thousands of players together, but open/instanced world content only consisted of a dozen players max. It combined strategy and cooperative elements

Neoyoshi said: I can't help but wonder if this was originally supposed to be Persona 6; -much in the way Devil May Cry was born out of the attempt to make Resident Evil 4, i cannot help but be curious if Metaphor was born out of an early draft…

I've personally been having a blast with Throne & Liberty and don't plan to stop playing unless there is a massive content drought, which I assume there shouldn't be since this game has been out for a while in Korea. It's incredibly fresh t…

The problem wasn't the games or the exclusivity. It's the PS5 has not been made the standard console generation despite it being 4 years old now. Most people I talk to are still playing on a PS4 because it hasn't been worth it to upgrade for the han…
