at some point mmos just get boring and grindy, and all new expansions do is reveal the new flashy grind. New instances and equipment = more grinding = more money.

Boring....

scrim noob

a bad one at that LOL

lmao, who did you lane against

i figured you did lvl1 gank too

 

[Miharu]

dunno don't remember

roaming vs so i got fb got bottle after fbing mid, ganked bot, got rune ganked mid again, went top ganked that then tp'd bot and killed that or something

i forget the rest

 

[Loco Roco]

lawl, bads dont call mia

true but, I guess a sense of community that comes out of MMO's is a good thing, void the part that the game itself is boring and redundent. Blizzard is helping prevent VA and columbine.
Government should've gave blizzard 700bil to stop adolescent violence!

 

[Loco Roco]

hey, how is s5 in wow right now

which classes are dominating pvp

i want to know if i'll make a difference in bgs when i get full s5 for my spriest

 

[Miharu]

lawl, bads dont call mia

it doesn't do much if your map awareness blows *** anyways

calling missing should be an extra, not something taken for granted (because if you rely on missing calls to save your *** from ganks it means you're bad at the game :D)

i like leveling
and gearing up
one time i read a thing where paying the 15 a month is less money assuming you dont buy a new game for 50 or 60 or however much they go for every x months but i dont think that hold a lot of truth, but it does hold some

god **** im slow
S5 hasnt started yet
you have until Dec 8 to hit 80 scrub
the worst part is you cant see the honor/pvp gear cuz its not in game yet
its really fing confusing too

 

[Loco Roco]

true, i'll have to work on that

edit - this thread is all about ninja posting

 

[NeighborhoodP]

assuming you dont buy a new game for 50 or 60

who are the people who actually buy new games? i have to assume it's mostly the really stupid people or just dedicated fans to a franchise, because buying new games is one of the most -EV things you could possibly do, especially nowadays when every new game is just a carbon copy of older games

 

[Sleepy]

I played wow for 3 years when it came out until a year after bc, off and on. Just got bored, at first it was interactive and interesting, but my days got bored. Really though if you have a rogue or warrior the game can be fun, but sometimes you just get bored of a genre.

I don't really care about the money varient much, that doesn't bug me so much. I spend a lot of money on games for my 360. Quitting wow enabled me to buy more games with veriety.

why only until december 8th?

classic, well made games really outshine newer ones

they are relaly gonna have to put all their heart and soul in to balancing sc2 and making it require high micro if they want to get even CLOSE to the perfection that was brood war

 

[Miharu]

that would explain why it's taking so ****ing long

then again, it's blizzard

 

[NeighborhoodP]

gamers have unrealistic expectations of sequels to great games. a game like melee or sc is a once in a lifetime thing; both skill and luck converged. it'll be great but it'll be great in different ways, and more importantly there's no guarantee it'll be nearly as competitive

 

[choknater]

man they should just release that ****, let the players find the imbalanced stuff thats the way sc got balanced anyway cuz innovative and good players always find broken stuff

 

[Sleepy]

lol we used to use the stasis carrier trick (stasis the carrier and not the interceptors are still out), or the siege tank under the barracks trick. Miss that glitchy brokeness.

I doubt it. Members from team liquid that played it say its a brawled out version of SC (they didnt use those words but you get the idea)

lol

oh great

 

[Sleepy]

wonder if blizzard really is gonna basterdize the skill varient, they showed it off in korea before america, so I don't really know for sure if they would do that. Also blizzard's sales on games is always high regardless, so they seem less viable to really sell out like nintendo.

 

[choknater]

ugh that sucks lol

i know people complain about sequels the same way they do for brawl

but in brawl the complaining was actually CORRECT

 

[Nasty_Nate]

well only time will tell. So far blizzard has released nothing but quality games, and they actually take notice of the competitive scene. No doubt the koreans have told blizzard that their demos were ****ty

 

[choknater]

hm yea true

we never really know anything until we see the METAGAME

brawl's is actually getting better with the uprising of diddy kong

rob's doin hella well too

diddykong can beat snake/mk and it actually takes skill to use, its pretty satisfying to see

 

[Sleepy]

I'm gonna say a few things, brawl needed playtesting, effort, and non binding factors like items. The game took every bit of excitement and gimps melee had out. Even with the removal of tech skill, so much of the game is hit and hit back, it hardly seems worth watching. I try to watch vids on youtube but the game is boring. BORING.

 

[choknater]

fosho. no matter how far the metagame progresses, and if ppl get really skilled... melee appreciators will never find brawl as exciting. watching good diddys is fun... but hey come on. any character in melee is faster and requires more skill than that to do well in tourny

 

[Sleepy]

well I'm not really a complete brawl hater, but the lifeline probably will be short on the game. I don't play it at all though and I gave my copy to a friend for free.

 

[NeighborhoodP]

so they seem less viable to really sell out like nintendo.

i don't think nintendo sold out at all -- they never sell out. they're just asians on their high-horse wrt morals and how games should be played. that's all it was about.

pikmin 3 announced for the wii btw
wagglan gaemz

 

[NeighborhoodP]

god pikmin on the wii is one of the few games that would make me go, "wow, i am really excited to see what they do for it on the wii"

 

[The Greater Leon]

im really excited for it too. and i heard a lot of good things about metroid prime 3. still havent played it :/

oh you guys up there.
brawl was/is a raging success. the game was designed for younger kids to play with their favorite character ONLINE with their best friends from school. with lag, the game is really different and ****ty characters get a lot better. every game should have some level of balance, but there is almost always one or two characters that are a cut above the rest. like, naruto clash of ninja revolution is pretty fun to play competitevely (LOL) but i wouldnt expect it to stand up to the test of time. whereas street fighter 2 hd remix or starcraft 2 are/were designed specifically for balance and high level play. brawl is just not one of those games. but it is good at what it was designed for.

 

[rudeezy]

daaamn if brawl was made for tourney play, could it have been like twice as technical as melee?

 

[NeighborhoodP]

^ silly little kids

 

[The Greater Leon]

clash of ninja sucks

narutimate accel 2 needs to be released for US consoles, that game is so balanced.
