Support NeoGAF

[jshackles]

Buy Elder Scrolls Online.

The more I play it, the more I realize it's a great single-player game that just happens to have other fools running around in it.

 

[Jawmuncher]

The only MMO I liked was PSO2.

The only MMO I liked was WoW because I was paid in video games to play it for someone.
The dark days of Alterac Valley taking a whole day. At least I got Prey and Dead Rising that summer out of it. Day 1.

The more I play it, the more I realize it's a great single-player game that just happens to have other fools running around in it.

AutoMatisch is selling me on the idea. It's sounding pretty cool as a SP game.

[CheesecakeRecipe]

The only MMO I liked was PSO2.

I really wish they could have brought it to the states without all the delays and complications. I haven't played since a few months after it left beta and the amount of new content is really crazy! But I can't remember all my Sega ID stuff and most friends have quit playing already. ;-;

PSO1 still can't be beat for me. Never have I loved anything that approached being an "MMO" quite as much as that.

 

[jshackles]

Will buy Secret Elders.

This would make a terrible MMO

Oh, Elders...

 

[ViviOggi]

Nice try but the best MMO is Ragnarok

gonna take a moment to say the SWTOR isn't as shit as you think it is

The Forest just received a massive update. End Night Games upgraded to Unity 5 along with a host of other changes.

http://steamcommunity.com/games/242760/announcements/detail/230023830034135588

You know, it's interesting, of the KS games I track... I would say about 50% of them have been delayed for a Unity 5 switch. Either Unity 5 is a big upgrade or Unity is cutting off support for developers for Unity 4, because it's remarkable how many of them are switching and delaying their games to do so.

 

[Arthea]

Will buy Secret Elders.

I'd rather go for World of Scrolls, where you play as an elderly scholar uncovering secrets of universe one at the time.

Spoiler

On the second thought, why we don't have such a game?

Arthea, if you're reading this, next game from Skyborn devs, Echoes of Aetheria, should be out next month (or, you know, soonish).
The dev also mentions Skyborn 2, although how far along that game is, only he knows.

I hope this time with cards and cheevos. I still can't believe dev didn't add cards until now to Skyborn! the nerve! (><)

Yea there is just something about PSO. I didn't play it on the Dreamcast or even that much on the Gamecube but it was just so engrossing playing Blue Burst on a fan server. If you described the combat to someone who hasn't played it now, it would probably sound terrible but it just worked. Even PSO2 didn't scratch the same itch. I'm kinda sad how Schthack is basically dead, I liked jumping in every so often to play a couple games.

 

[Arthea]

Princess Battles is rad, that cards game is quite nice, even if simple, and there is freeplay which I had no idea is available.

Unfortunately I figure the third option is "we need to do something... how about we upgrade to Unity 5? That sounds like it is something good and should buy us another 6 months".

Well, that's possible too. There are definitely a lot of indies who very quickly get to their 0.1-0.2 versions where they're basically playable and enjoyable... and then totally fail to figure out where to go in terms of actually making a finished product.

And *coughcough* Tibia for a few hours because my friends played it, but most moved to RO. Not that I played that much of either.

I came to the same realization the other night, will be interesting to find the reasoning behind the nearly ubiquitous switch.

I'm putting together the May OT, and need some game recommendations! So far I've got commitments and/or write-ups from:

• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - zkylon
• Neon Struct - turfster
• Magicka 2 - MRORANGE
• Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - Dr Dogg

If anyone else is interested in contributing, let me know. The only requirement is that the game must be released on Steam during the month of May. If you'd like to write a recommendation drop me a PM.

Sod it I'll knock out something for Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. I wanted to go in dark but I'm sure there's a non spoilery synopsis somewhere about.

Thanks for that. I did a few of these myself when MRORANGE was running the OT, and the few times I did it actually got me really hyped for the games I was writing for.

I'm kinda sad how Schthack is basically dead, I liked jumping in every so often to play a couple games.

I bought a Dreamcast for PSO, believe it or not! Back when you could only have one character per VMU, so I bought one of those 4x VMUs and a few extra goofy colored ones. The XP values were absurdly high in V1, which they eventually smoothed the curve out for in V2 by adding an extra 100 levels. I never could play online though since I didn't have a reliable way to play at the time. Ep 1&2 on the Gamecube was where I spent the most of my time - splitscreen play let me get almost every local friend of mine completely addicted with me. Sometimes when we talk about hanging out, we say we'll bring out memory cards and do the swap-trick so we can all play together.

I still love everything about it. The music, the stages, the creature designs (even if the fodder enemies were obvious carbon copies), the way Ultimate mode completely changed everything, the sheer variety of weapon and mag designs... gah. I really miss it ;-;

Don't worry, you'll be able to watch! You like watching, don't you~

I probably would have tried PSO on my dreamcast if it had come with a modem! (I got a blockbuster model which only had a plastic insert there.)

No probs. My problem is when I get YouTube suggested video fever and end up seeing more than I should. I know there was a vid Machinegames put out at Pax recently that goes into detail without being too spoilery.

PSO 2 does finally have a western release? I only played 1 solo and with friends offline on the gamecube, but I really liked it (never finished EPisode 2 though), but 2 looked quite fun. Last time I saw something it was still asian only.

 

[Turfster]

Ftfy

No. The controls are fiddly and the collision handling is terrible.
I got stuck in scenery a billion times, and keypresses sometimes just didn't register.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

hahaha you guys.

I'll try it then.

Yeah I bought it in the event that I'd be able to play online, but I ended up having a lot of fun offline for the time I spent in the original. I never played online until Blue Burst had private servers up which was yeaaaaaaars later. Still, Gamecube was the best version to me for the splitscreen play aspect alone.

I even got the GC Exclusive Episode 3, which was reaaaaaaally weird but fun in a different way!

Oh, just this thing, you know? <3

Sadly not. Sega of America has been absolutely quiet about it when asked. I fear that Sega of Japan is not giving them a lot to work with and many of the events are heavily tied-in with shows, restaurants and other media which would make it difficult to license out here. Interestingly enough, there IS an official English version, but it's limited to the South East Asia territories and there's no way to get on those servers to play.
