    • Every JRPG with random battles. All of them. Chrono Trigger. Final Fantasy. Phantasy Star.

    • PvEvP Extraction games. I tried Arc Raiders during the closed alpha. I tried Dark and Darker. I tried Dungeon Stalkers. I tried Sea of Thieves. I tried The Cycle. None of them were fun to me.

    • MMORPGs. I really want to like this, but I hate how they fall feel like a theme park. Elder Scrolls Online Morrowind is the one I played the most, and being a fan of Morrowind,it was disappointing. I feel like I am waiting in a line for a ride whenever I am around other players doing an activity. I hate to say it, but Destiny 1 was the best feeling MMORPG I played because I didnt feel like I was waiting in a line due to other players. The zoning between solo and shared areas felt the best I guess.






  • Morrowind. Its older (should easily runnwell on your rig), and its combat mechanics are more similar to table-talk rpgs (an attack might look like it should hit, but the game internally rolls dice to see if it beats enemy armor etc.), but its an immensely better RPG experience compared to Skyrim.

    OpenMW is the most recommended way to play since its a reimplementation of the game engine, fixing various bugs and improving compatibility with modern computer systems while adding some modern features like shadows for terrain and more optimized lighting.











  • Meanwhile Marathon’s server slam is down by more than 50% from yesterday, dropping from ~150k to ~55k.

    “Dont worry, its a Thursday, just wait until the weekend.”

    Nah bro, it dropped to its lowest concurrent player count on a Friday. That bodes horrendously badly for its future. And I mean, good. Its a skinwalker anyway (though I really love the artstyle, Graphic Brutalism has always been a favorite of mine since it started popping up in the late 2000s, its not a Marathon game, and my love of its art style isnt enough to carry it alone).



  • I also liked it, but it doesn’t replace the original series. Its just an alternate retelling of the story.

    To me, its the same as the Super Dimension Fortress Macross tv series, and the Macross Do You Remember Love? movie. Neither is better or replaces the other, they are just alternate retellings of the same story. In the same way that two different war veterans might describe the same battle differently, even though the same major story elements occur in each.
