Late to the party, my initial thoughts on Fallout 3.
...game amazing. It just does so many things right, and while it has some flaws, it overall feels just so complete. Its smart, keeps you guessing, and has a great sense of exploration and wonder
I mostly avoided Fallout hype pre-launch, in part because of my ultimate disappointment with Oblivion (great setup and concept, but the world leveling...

Grab a torch and join the idiot mob.
...game is going to have the same level of fixes and tweaks that an MMO out for 4-5 years has. Its also delusional to think you can just drop everything, and get every single worker tweaking server performance. Joe the plumber wont fix the lag, even if he spends all 250k+ of his plumber income on it. The best the art team can do is draw you a...

Breaking down Mark Jocobs WAR update
...game
First, we have created an RvR Influence system. This system is designed to reward our oRvR players with lots of new stuff that you can only get through oRvR. This will be a complimentary system to our PQ Influence system. This system is already implemented in 1.1 and is scheduled to go LIVE along with that version in December
Another...

MMOs go through an awkward teenager phase too.
...games suck for a while, and then find their spots and excel. Duh, I know, and its not exactly like this is the first time Ive thought about this, but recent expansions and launched have made this more clear than ever for me. The exceptions to this are UO and WoW. Seriously though I have a point here, hopefully I can explain it adequately (ha,...

Warhammers major problem, the players.
...game that starts at level one, rather than at the cap, players would STILL race towards the end regardless of anything around them, and do so in the most grind-like manner? (one scenario per tier
Mythic coded an amazing game. They nailed the look and feel of the Warhammer IP, they had a great launch, and they continue to support the game at a...

MMO natural selection, and what it means to your game.
...game rules. EVE is harsh on day one, and stays that way. WoW holds your hand from 1-80, and makes sure you get a cookie regardless if you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place. Another factor is overall complexity. To really succeed in EVE, you have to know what you are doing and...

Quick Heavy Metal thoughts.
Heavy Metal, Warhammers second live event, when um live yesterday. What that basically means is we have a new scenario to play, along with quick daily tasks to complete in order to gain early access to the two new tank classes coming out in December
My initial thought was weee, a scenario, but Reikland Factory is actually very impressive. It has...

Tales from the MMO bandwagon
...game eva faster than Usain Bolt . Its entertaining to watch, but nothing new for an MMO launch. People overhyped EQ1, played for a month, and bitch that it too sucked compared to UO. The only difference today is the bandwagon holds far more people thanks to WoW
PvP in an MMO is an idea that a lot of people like the sound of. PvP is also...

Renown progress, and no more Tor Anroc please.
...game
For instance, while previously I merely though of Tor Anroc as slightly annoying, I cant stand it now. Why its the most popular tier 3 scenario I just dont understand. The lava punting is cute at first, mildly entertaining after a bit, and just downright awful after your 20 th scenario. Tor Anroc itself would have been fine if it was not...
