I love DE but fucking hate ZA/UM does anyone have a similar case where they hate the company but love the game. what they did to the devs was dirty and unfair, i wanna like the game again but the suits are making me hate it

I feel like we need to discuss why MMOs as a genre were never good, but how they were also fucking amazing. This is all due to when MMOs became a thing.
Most if not all MMOs people actually care about were from the early 2000s. They were all pushing the boundaries of capitalism over video games with either a subscription or whatever the hell is wrong with the korean industry, but, and I must stress this, but…they came out during the ONLY MOMENT they would've been successful.
They were social spaces, social WORLDS in fact, they were by definition larping sims. In an era where that was still a new thing. From 2003-2012, MMOs had THIS as their main wow factor. This is also their only staying power in media ABOUT video games, their sense of community and ability to break barriers…of course, all those external pieces of media also made it about how MMO players were losers, but nontheless, that was why they became a genre.
After social media became a permanent staple of human life, MMOs had practically no point anymore. Most of them were already garbage gameplay wise. This is why we all want classic wow, or classic maple, or the return of wonderking (which, by the way, looks like actual garbage, to my dismay).
We didn't "grow out" of MMOs, that is what idiots with no argument say to shut you up, the WORLD outgrew MMOs, and sadly, we have been conditioned to not be impressed or enamoured.
>what the fuck are you saying OP??
I'm saying what I mean, anon. Maybe I was groomed by this industry to endure capitalism, but DAMN IT, there was a time talking to someone as your personal chibi avatar was cool and FUN! Now it's a fucking bore, I cannot understand why anyone would play an MMO in 2025, almost all of them are bad wow clones.

I just beat this game, I remember seeing another discussion thread about this game but I can't find it, but I want to talk about the game, full spoilers.

I've seen some posts talking about how amazing the games are and I want to play them. I don't know if I should get the original 3 separate games or the legendary edition, any suggestions?

>Elden ring and Nightreign
>Lies of P
>Nioh
>Code Vein
>The Surge
> All the new games announced in the genre and the rest of the Souls games from From Software

All this Slop and similar ones go to this thread.

Like actually violent, i want ludicrous gibs and screams.
even if it's a bit cartoony like Team Fortress 2
i just really need to see my enemies blown to chunks.

doesn't has to be a shooter either tho i really like shooters
bonus points if it has mods to get new weapons

I hope you people will start uploading your game clips, or at least those of a player that knows what they're doing! Don't worry! I'll make you!

Repost because of the body was epic nonsensense!!

He would 100% be a light based ninja with a crystal rapier as his weapon of choice:

Signature Moves:

Photokinetic Blast (Beam Attack): Floyd fires a concentrated, translucent beam from his palms, causing damage and burn damage over time against the opponent.
The Twist: If the beam passes through one of his "Crystal Walls," it splits into three separate beams (refraction), hitting a wider area for increased chip damage.

Prismatic Barrier (Defensive): He summons a crystalized, translucent wall glowing hardened light.
Effect: It doesn't just block projectiles; it reflects them back at the opponent with 1.5x speed and 1x5 damage.

Prism Pillar (Defensive) Floyd summons a massive, translucent crystal from the ground. It acts as a physical wall, but when light hits it, it casts a rainbow-tinted "safe zone" behind it where Floyd can recover health.

Shimmering Shield (Buff/DoT): Floyd’s body begins to vibrate at a high frequency, emitting a blinding neon glow.
Defensive: Reduces damage taken by 20%.
Offensive: Opponents standing in "sweep distance" take ticking fire/burn damage as the light literally cooks the air around them.

I'm pretty new to victoria 3, and I'm looking for some advice. What are some fun countries to play as while still being a beginner? Also, what are the best mods I should get?

funny to see honey watson on the timeline again announcing being a writer for ZA/UM's new game someone who has not been relevant for years and put out the 2 most YA looking scifi shit imaginable. well, hope it is worth selling out and being a massive hack for a criminal scumbag. just absolutely no shame working for a company that helped destroy an Estonian left wing art collective and put so much of the members who made the studio what it was in the first place into poverty after taking their work and kicking them out. complete and utter hacks

Disco Elysium to a bit of its detriment already feels too twitter especially mid 2010s twitter but this new ZA/UM game is feeling way way more twitter to an even worse degree straight up hiring a nobody left twitter personality for their game
