Formalist bellyaching over what is ...

Formalist bellyaching over what is supposed to be a game or not is a waste of time. I know that I enjoy perching on a rock above the Whiterun plains in Skyrim and seeing a giant herd some mammoths, or a dragon attack a group of bandits in the distance, ...

imagine what WoW would have been like with player collisions r n r nEverQuest had player collisions. It was always fun/horrible when an Ogre player would sit down in front of the entrance to the bank and go AFK for hours. Still, even with the occasional inconvenience and trollery, I ...

Well, I have only played a few hours of Tomb Raider, but so far the gameplay does seem to be pretty far from a linear corridor . Skyrim it isn 't, but it 's fairly open and vertical as far as these things go. r n r nAlso, Brion, why ...

Comment In: Free-to-Play is A-OK [Blog - 05/01/2013 - 01:58]

@Chris r n r nUnder ...

@Chris r n r nUnder your broader definition, shareware Doom and Quake would fall under the F2P category, and I don 't think anybody has ever complained about those. Yes, there are many types of monetization strategies that can be defined as free to play , but generally, when people ...
