90s anime captures a vibe that is hard to replicate.
Having to get up early on a Saturday just to be able to watch the 3 to 4 they had thrown in with Saturday morning cartoons⌠later we got the luxury of some late afternoon/early evening ones.
Kids these days do not know the feeling.
Peeved by how every time I tab into the discord tab that Stairshed lives in I feel the need for undead paladins and playable ethereals now. Canât even annoy them with random stuff now without getting automatic reverb smh

my friend constantly bangs on about how amazing it is and (jokingly) derides every other game for not being it, which made me hate it
i did play it at launch and for some time after until moria released but it never stuck with me in the same way that WoW did, and so ultimately i didnât stick around
what iâve always found frustrating about it, and more so now is how janky it feels to play and how awful the UI is
BUT that said, i made a beorning on saturday for no particular reason and it just clicked

Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness feel the same.
I absolutely love those games. They are very, very niche stealth gameplay titles, but the story and gameplay in both is great to me.
And no matter how many people tell me they are trash, I love them.

Yeah this also puts me off things. I think its what put me off wow for a long while when some friends kept putting down gw2 while i was enjoying it.
Their actually really fun to play. For me it was Runekeeper that got me to actually play for a longer term than i used to because like you id play for a while then just give up.
I kept trying Loremaster but not enjoying it, something about the delay on casting because of the server lag or whatever just felt bad.
Back when it first came out I played Minstrel and then Warden when that came out. But the game was also stupidly difficult and very punishing when you died so it was just not very fun to play tbh.

The styx games are cool and ill never hear otherwise.
Its gotten better at least at not feeling like the end of it all if you die. Sometimes a game needs qol like that to be worth it in the longterm

Fighting your way through to the inner part of a camp/fort in the Lone Lands, dying and then having to fight your way back through them all again because everything respawned by the time you get back

Iâve never understood games that unduly punish you on top of dying. City of Heroes used to have âexp debtâ after you hit a certain level (which they reduced or patched out entirely, later on), WoW used to be more punitive, even the likes of Sekiro effecting the NPCs, its justâŚ
Itâs bad enough dying, feeling bad and maybe losing progress/having Runback. No need to be disheartening too.

Itâs a very old way of doing MMOs, and one of the good things that WoW changed when it came out that made the game more appealing to the masses.

Gw1, if were going back to that era, had and still has a massive stat drop if you die that just keeps stacking until you either kill a rare mob or abandon an area for an outpost. It did not encourage forays into harder areas.

I tried one recently to try and rekindle the nostalgia but it has aged so terribly.
A shame because it was my first real MMO (Sorry runescape you donât count) and I loved it dearly. But I can see why it died when I made the jump to WoW because the difference in quality was huge. Generational leap.
Huh? did someone hear something?
