Does the pointless over-use of corporate jargon in that statement make you a) feel completely freaking sick at what the games industry has come too b) that they are trying to convince themselves and shareholders that what their saying is true c) all of the above I've worked in that...

Such a bizaare and interesting concept. Kinda like someone buying Ogrimmar in WOW then getting a cut of all the trade that goes on there? A lot of people saying its mental, but its no more different than any other business transaction. Your never garunteed to make a return on it let alone any...

Even tho the dlc was pretty random and didnt offer much (bar the one that actually carried on the story) I still really enjoyed it and I came to the game as a massive fan of the first 2 expecting the worst, but it still delivered and made me a happy guy :) Heres hoping for a decent Fallout MMO...

This whole 'accessibilty vs challenge' debate has me confused. I was in a very non-hc raiding guild when I played Wow. In Burning Crusade we hardly started SSC and only finished ZA about a week or 2 before that bizaare easy mode kicked in as Wrath was preparing for release. In Wrath (with...

They still spend a huge amount of time on balancing arena pvp for competitive play, something only about 1% of players seriously do and about 90% of the content in WOW is only populated about 5% of the time (like pretty much all of old kingdom and the outland) how is that not phenomenally stupid...

I think this is a more practicle application. Why not have an AI director so that when you enter an area your attacked intelligently by the inhabitants and not have you ponderously pace through one after another *slightly* different bosses who all happily wait in a que and allow you to beat the...

Not just a social experiment no, but in many ways it is.

Woo, cant wait! I miss Bill - hope they give em all a bunch of new dialogue. My money in on the new melee weapon being a spade.

For this to work I think WoW would need to decide once and for all what it wants to be, a game or a social experiment. I stopped playing WoW a while back because everything became dumbed down so anybody *ANYBODY* could play, get kitted and get in raids, which ment 90% of the time your grouping...

Didnt enjoy it at all. It was way too pretentious, more of a fanboy film for goths and emos. People compared it to David Lynch films as well... no no no

Question: If you could get every single bit of kit and achievement on your own and without grouping how many ppl do you think would group on WoW? Answer: The (estimate)%10 of hardcore(real) gamers who have been doing it since launch, why? because another (10%) of the population are part...

MW2 multiplayer is really just one long grind, the inclusion of levels, exp and unlocks means even if you lose your still gaining something which keeps ppl coming back again and again much like a small child following a trail of cookies. Its a lot more like an MMO experience than a true...

Consoles for show, PC for a pro

On a side note thats related to level based games (This is one of the things that has stopped me playing WOW and champions online) Does anyone else here hate the fact that at level 1 your fighting the exact same things as you do when your top level? WOW is horrendous at this, how can one bear...

A big problem with this is the internet, people have far more access to information now than ever before so it only takes the slightest amount of motivation to research things and discover how much bullshit is out there and marketing is the greatest source, but as the thread eluded to its a fine...
