Literally every MMORPG targeted at an oldschool/hardcore/PvP oriented audience. Without fail the related comments and reviews will be littered by people angrily ranting on how these games are outdated and should change to be more casual

Can we be hateful towards bug/bot divers on here too? I kinda love that dynamic on r/helldivers2

If it’s right to ridicule people for buying shein clothes, supporting sexist influencers or spending money on gacha games, then it’s also OK to ridicule them for enjoying AI art. It is correct to be against behaviors that hurt society even if they don’t have an immediate, direct effect on you. You deserve what you tolerate.

It helps that currently it’s overwhelmingly dogshit, the linked video illustrating that quite well, with it being a random collection of glitched out, disconnected images with no soul. And don’t get me started on the Suno slop flooding youtube…

it’s been an annual tradition of mine to play this game on Christmas Eve

Oh wow! I’m not the only one! It’s nice that the bot issue seems to be severely reduced, this year is was the first one where I didn’t have to switch servers multiple times to avoid masses of spinning snipers

Project: Gorgon is my forever home MMO, I’m not super active currently but am online for events and such. I’ve found it to be the only title on the market that feels like a world you join instead of a game you log in.

Why? He is a historical figure. Why does a historical figure in his historical setting feel bizarre?

Why him being a “full fledged samurai” even matters?

This is just difference in opinion. For you it’s OK. I get that this series is only very vaguely based on history but this is a step too far for me.

Seriously ask yourself why having ONE SINGULAR black protagonist in a series where protagonists have so far been overwhelmingly white

Why MUST they make the main character in a 1580’s japanese setting black? The series hasn’t had a single asian protagonist. Couldn’t they have chosen a black history setting if this is what they wanted?

I just think it’s bizarre to have a black dude protagonist in a historical japanese setting. I’ve read through the sources on Yasuke and I think it’s a stretch to say he was like a full fledged samurai. Especially given that the biggest proponent of that theory, Thomas Lockley, made some sketchy edits between the Japanese and English version of his book on him.

I just dislike a lot of the studios based there (Insomniac, naughty dog, ubisoft) for how hard they try to push POC/minority representation in their games. Especially when it doesn’t make sense (black samurai)

The rightwing/gamergate side not contesting this whole issue being called “Politics in videogames” is the biggest blunder. I don’t know the best way to call this phenomenon (political preaching?) but surely there is a better phrase. Right now you can’t talk about this stuff without getting hit by “Oh, you claim to hate politics in videogames yet you love Bioshock” type retort, when the actual thing people have problems with are californian nutcases pushing their views on US political crap onto the player as if it were gospel.

I just finished watching Mugthief’s video on the review conspiracy thing, it does make a lot of sense.

I went and checked my copy of Dragon Age Origins, and thankfully I’m not misremembering nor is it “just what I think”, as on the back it says “A Dark Fantasy epic”. That’s what the series was, directly quoted from the creators behind it. Same thing with Inquisition, it was bleak, had tough choices, things were at stake. This new game couldn’t be further from the previous titles - it doesn’t belong.

I don’t think it’s right to keep your head down and say nothing when something you like is being taken in a direction you don’t enjoy. Saying something critical against it doesn’t hurt anyone, worst thing that could happen is not enough people agree and nothing changes.

It’s not just gaming - people had a similar reaction on the trailer for the Megamind animated TV series. I think it’s a difference in mindset, some people don’t care while others see it as disrespect to their beloved franchise.

I’m willing to give it a fair shot

Personally I’m going to trust what the studio behind the game chose to showcase in the official reveal trailer. They’re selling the game as a lighthearted, cartoony, high fantasy romp where a band of constantly quipping misfits save the world, all without a hint of seriousness anywhere. I don’t care whether the game is good, it’s not Dragon Age.

I am not hoping for a franchise I love to fail. What I am hoping for is that this imposter, which wears the series’ skin purely for brand recognition, fails.

I am not aware of any conspiracy like that, It’s just my personal hope.

Please god let these positive reviews be paid off. I don’t want this game succeed, it has nothing to do with the series - complete tonal shift, choices barely carry over and not being able to control companions is just… I wish they made a new series, this isn’t the Dragon age I know. Hope it fails

RIP that was just brutal. Once the baron steal happened the game felt like it was over already. Just got worse from there

The game is free, you can also get it on the author’s blog or through itch.io

The Last Sovereign (NSFW) is an 18+ RPGmaker game. The basic premise is this: What if you had a setting with a bunch of hentai tropes lumped together and played straight, with no porn logic or stupid characters?

You play as a middle aged, very competent army veteran who gains the powers of an incubus, and reluctantly uses them with the aim of making the world a better place, slowly developing a harem of well realized, cool characters along the way. There’s sex scenes, obviously, but you very quickly forget all about them as you are plunged into an underdog story where you have to manage your fledgling armies + resources and have to constantly make tough decisions.

The video author posted this comment under the video which goes over his main claims:

"Claims I provide evidence for in this video:

1. Many MrBeast videos are fake, contests are unfairly rigged, and contestants are often undisclosed friends and family of MrBeast employees, or employees themselves.

2. MrBeast has run multiple illegal lotteries targeting children. (I estimate they profited over $10,000,000 from these lotteries)

3. MrBeast knowingly sold merch with fake autographs while claiming on his website that “The autographed piece is genuine”. (fraud imo)

Also MrBeast knew about Kris being a pdf"

Cool thanks for the answer. I’m guessing most people play the game outside of steam?

Also, a friend who used to play Regnum told me to ask: “How much ixmerin does a mount cost?”

What are the strong points of the game? Basically, if I’m looking for a PvP MMO, why should choose Regnum over Albion/eve/return of reckoning? Cheers
