Yeah, I’m right at the end, I think. No spoilers, but it’s feeling like I’m about to head through the Omega Relay, y’know?

I, uh, actually MAXED it right after getting it.

My guess is that you’re actually Phil Fish.

It’s more than just wanting to consume every new piece of media ASAP rather than spend time with it. If you want to engage with other gamers over it, there’s a limited timeframe to be able to have a vigorous relationship with a healthy community. I haven’t played Dishonored 2 yet, though it’s next on my playlist after…

I don’t have a Switch yet, but I’ve noticed that I GREATLY prefer playing older/retro games on my 3DS over a home console.

Does that mean we’ll get an offroading monster car entry?

Jason! When you going to continue the Final Fantasy retrospective series? Or is it over? I hope not, because I enjoyed it quite a lot.

Maybe. But then again, Compete stuff makes up FAR from half of Deadspin’s posts, so nice try.

I know, right? I wouldn’t complain so much if they hadn’t also implemented the technology that requires you to click on and read every article, even if it doesn’t interest you. That was a bridge too far.

When you’re at a restaurant, do you also complain that the Chicken Alfredo is $15, while another place sells lobster tail for $17?

That’s the problem with being an immortal ruler. Everyone around you - friends, family, even rivals and enemies - eventually dies.

So true about the Auction House. It was a good idea poorly executed/balanced, and I think it’s poisoned the well for good. And unfortunately, based on the fact that we haven’t gotten a second full expansion, it’s likely that the numbers for real expansions don’t make financial sense. Hopefully the Necromancer, and any…

There’s no new Act, but there are several new zones releasing for free at the same time. There’s no quests in them, but there are new story hooks and events, similar to Ruins of Sesheron or Greyhallow Island, and the Necromancer is integrated into the story of Acts 1-5.

I definitely agree that too many games turn end-game stuff into a numbers race. WoW was definitely like that, particularly early on, albeit mostly with regards to resistances. Don’t have enough Fire Resistance? Guess you don’t get to kill Ragnaros yet.

I don’t know what you mean by WoW being able to be beaten solo. It never could (outside of total outlier cases, like that guy that was accidentally given a GM item that could kill any enemy in one hit), and it still can’t. Unless, of course, you mean hitting level cap as beating it. And while WoW has gotten more…

To be fair, that ‘Quest Wall’ was (presumably) totally fine when you played it as it released.

Good on them for doing this, even if they backed off at the very end.

Thankfully, rewards are the LEAST difficult thing to do. Cosmetic armor and weapons for glamour, pets, mounts, orchestrion rolls, housing decorations, and maybe a few crafting materials would fill out the rewards vendor nicely.

Even in the Books of Sorrow, the actual NATURE of the Darkness is pretty ambivalent. Is it the worms? Is it some higher power the worms serve? Is it a philosophy? Is it a natural force, like entropy? Is it an evil extra-dimensional alien? Is it a Nega-Traveler?

Cotton Mather is spinning in his grave.
