Got to bring together a bunch of friends to play it last year, it was fun. I'd honestly host another saturday night session when it comes to it, even played a couple of custom maps.

If you bought the game a certain point after launch, but before this whole debacle, you didn't get asked to sign up or link PSN when you launched the game. And the official sony website has always had it written in text that linking a PSN account is completely optional.

This whole drama is dumb but faggots bootlicking a big corporation that doesn't give two fucks about them is even dumber. What do you get out of excusing shitty behavior by people 1000x richer than you that would bend you over and fuck you in the ass if you gave them enough leeway to do it?

Can I enjoy this game without having to shill out more money for ingame currency/premium subscriptions?
I just want to play some comfy MMO for story, exploration and questing with other people, and I've always enjoyed the Elder Scrolls world, but recently playing LotRO with all its over-monetization has left a bad taste in my mouth, I wouldn't want to make the same mistake again especially for a paid game.

Okay but should i play this or fallout 76? i have never played either before and looking for something new.

>>1270113
why not both? i think 76 is getting some content updates soon, you just missed ESO anniversary event fyi
>>
>>1270113
f76 is free at the moment if you have amazon prime, i've been playing it a bit and it's not a good game at all.

ESO isn't exactly a good game either but it does have some decent qualities despite the mind numbingly easy and boring combat

i'm a n00b player, but the sheer content even in the lowest cost bundle (i got it free on epic store some past time) is overwhelming. dozens of quests in my log across the various regions without even trying or fully exploring the areas / NPCs. dunno, perspective of a more veteran player is probably more valuable
>>
>>1266261
It's how I got the Black Marsh DLC for free. Helps that they falsely advertised you getting all the previous content when you do not.

Why do modern multiplayer games feel like a second job? It's been so long since I actually had fun.

Everything is battle passes, dailies, ranked climb, FOMO, manipulative algorithms, skin economy, anticonsumer practices, deceptive marketing, prolonging gametime, EOMM, bad mechanics, etc.

This, but also video game culture in general has changed way too much to ever recreate the feeling old multiplayer games (especially MMOs) had.

There's no mystery anymore, the second a game, patch, update, content comes out, it's datamined, analyzed, the numbers are crunched by mega autists and everything is curated into a series of videos, wikis, spreadsheets, guides, that make sure a good majority of players don't do anything but follow the most painstakingly optimal and efficient build, path, options, playstyle someone else laid out for them.

People have been mentally geared to feel like they are enjoying a game less if they are not working 24/7 towards some greater grind or goal and if they are doing it in subpar ways.

In addition to this, the way people play multiplayer games has drastically changed, you used to be able to make tons of friends in random MMOs, shooters, you name it, just by going up to people, talking to them ingame, asking them if they want to do something. Nowadays most people think you're weird for doing so, most people are either playing the MMO solo or on a discord call with irl friends.

Something like Ultima Online can just flat out not happen again in today's gaming culture. People were just too naive back then to do anything other than enjoy the game for the sake of the game because they didn't know anything else. I remember how much shit I'd learn just talking to people, people would teach new players mechanics, show them around the world, lots of hearsay, secrets, and bullshit, now people watch 10 hours of videos and read a 5000 page guide before even starting the game.

Take the Board Game Pill, anon. Board Game Arena, Tabletop Simulator, and even individual digital versions, are a great way to play games. You have all the benefits of modern gaming (automatic matchmaking, stable servers, etc.) without any of the bullshit. You don't get to be intrinsically better at Scythe just because you spent 500 hours grinding in-game currency, and no one starts with extra resources in Terraforming Mars because they bought the super special edition. If you take a month off of playing Settlers of Catan, it's not like you've missed a month of drops and items that you need to catch up.

I'm thinking of developing a massive online multiplayer crypto tournament betting game where users chip in and play some simple game in a tournament elimination structure, and the first winners split the pot.

So for example 100 users chip in $1 each to play, and they compete in FlappyBird, and the first 5 places take $20 each.

Here's the kicker: I'll give out special links here for bookmakers to organize tournaments, so no matter who wins the game, the bookmaker takes a slice.

You can organize massive tournaments, like with 1,000 players, so even with small bets like $1, users can win large amounts.

Some anons pointed out that FlappyBird can be easily cheated with bots, so I might need some other simple gameplay that is not easy to bot.

Anyone here would be interested in something like this?
You think it could work?
Any idea for a simple gameplay mechanic?

There is a large population who rightly do not enjoy the meta gaming of PvP and would prefer to enjoy a games systems with PVE. What devs and literal moron players don't understand is that offering a PVE mode will draw in new players who will mindlessly play the PVE mode but a percentage of them will eventually try PVP, maybe enjoy it and increase the overall health of the game. It's so simple but zoomies don't get it.

Any idea what kind of game I can play a rogue like in ol' Shadowbane?

Had a blast stealing items from parties, getting stalked by Scouts while I was on the run, breaking into cities with my bird thief, and backstabbing clothies. The full looting mechanics of dead players and being able to steal specific items from players was a mechanic I've never seen in another game. Had great late nights as a teen where I got a rush stealing Godlike runes and competing with rune hunters in the wild. Getting DMs cursing me out was based as fuck.

The closest game I've seen so far in todays world is Dark and Darker that has these rogue features. Is there any other game where I can play a complete piece of shit?

I played a WoW classic rogue to 60 a few years ago but it wasn't the same. Can't stand the grind. Thats one thing sahdowbane got right was the fast grind and gear acquisition.
>>
Dark and Darker allows you to be a supreme dick ass thief if thats what you enjoy. You may not get far in the game though. Albion Online can support this playstyle as well. Builds let you blow up someone's party member and then escape with their loot while their party chases you in futility. EVE too but fuck that.
