Still haven't forgiven them for canceling City of Heroes and Wildstar.
-
City of Heroes predates World of Warcraft so it would be fair to say it's a CoH clone.
-
Class based for computer games, skill based for TTRPGs.
-
Let me know when they add the Cerritos.

I think there needs to be a bigger non-combat role, otherwise it's just another "go here, kill everything" game. Real RP needs other people.

LiveServices is a factor. These days we're expected to devote our spare time to one game. It used to be MMOs, now it's the CoD or other LiveService game with heavy monitization. We're seeing a video game crash from excessive corporate greed, but I e…

They're not. It's just their excuse for poor maintenance.

How reasonable were the expectations in the first place? I have the feeling they were crazy high so they could lay people off then get a bonus for "saving money" when the shareholders got annoyed.

I'm on the fence. I didn't like the districts in Civ6. Now I hear about microtransactions and lots of DLC and other monetization. I'd rather wait for the reviews and a Steam sale.
-
It looks like you get to keep what you built, you just get a new empire name, leader, and set of research projects. That part doesn't worry me as much.
-
Districts are still there. That's bad. You can be prevented from learning some technologies. That's also bad. Pre-order bonuses. Really bad. I'll wait for a sale.

Tried Fallout Shelter and got bored with it after a while. OTOH, it probably wasn't a game meant to be continuously played for months and months.

After NCSoft made the decision to shut down City of Heroes, I contributed to a kickstater for a replacement game. I never expected it to be made and I forgot what it was for. I just wanted to send a big FU to NCSoft.

So what's the difference between a "live service" where you can play with other humans and an MMO?

For me it was Earth & Beyond. I loved flying around and zoning out as I gathered resources. The fact other people were playing and chatting added to the experience. When EA pulled the plug, I never bought another thing from them. I considered EV…

Depends on the game. I play two. CoH and ESO. CoH I make an alt when there's new power sets I want to try. In ESO when I run out of content. But since I was late coming to the game, I don't expect that to happen.
