A Star is Born
Remember the superhero MMO from 2009? Neither does anyone else. It was dumb. So dumb I was compelled to write this.
The Gameplay is the Story
Some advice to game developers on how to stop ruining good stories with bad cutscenes.
Artless in Alderaan
People were so worried about the boring gameplay of The Old Republic they overlooked just how boring and amateur the art is.
The Dumbest Cutscene
This is it. This is the dumbest cutscene ever created for a AAA game. It's so bad it's simultaneously hilarious and painful. This is "The Room" of video game cutscenes.
The Middle Ages
Would you have survived in the middle ages?
Is some fighters and rangers getting outsmarted by a Lich King really that embarrassing?
If I remember right, Liches got quite a bit of an INT boost, while that’s a dump stat for fighters and rangers (probably especially these PCs).
Apart from mindless Zombies and Skeletons (which these don’t seem to be), do the undead really have a reputation for not being clever?
Shamus would agree. Gilbert, the Lich from Witch Watch, was a pretty clever guy.
He’s not really a Lich. He’s a ghost. Or a wraith. Or a spectre? Or… who has the Monster Manual on hand?
There is something about that line that has always sat very funny with me. “We built the place. And we can walk through walls.” You know, because they’re dead. Idiot. It works on so many levels to me.
