 | re: Board Games: Interesting Kickstarter - Euphoria - Muppet on 6/12/13 at 8:28 pm I like the setup of this game, but the "steampunk dice" bullet made me cringe. Reminds me of this:

I also chuckled a bit the first time he said "Euphorians" in the trailer.

 | re: Board Games: Interesting Kickstarter - Euphoria - Muppet on 6/12/13 at 7:36 pm Is this game euphoric because of some phony god's blessing or because it is enlightened by its own intelligence?...

 | re: Dragon's Dogma - Board's Opinion - Muppet on 5/27/13 at 6:25 pm Did you get the new Dark Arisen version? You get 10 portcrystals, even on your first playthrough, and the price of ferrystones is halved.
If not, beating the game once and unlocking New Game Plus will make travel faster. Not that you are interested in doing this.

I emphatically disagree. This is about as well as you can translate 4th Edition to an MMO without an astronomical budget. There is some subtlety to combat - at least the potential for it is there. What you describe as the current state of dungeon zerging c...

 | re: Neverwinter Nights MMO Beta - Muppet on 5/8/13 at 4:37 pm I think the animations are what makes combat so satisfying. You feel heroic, rather than like a guy who just learned the rudiments of sword-fighting.

 | re: Neverwinter Nights MMO Beta - Muppet on 5/8/13 at 4:11 pm I agree with the Guild Wars 2 sentiment regarding the combat. This game is very action-oriented and reflexes/positional awareness are rewarded with higher survivability.
The system of gaining experience is on the other end of the spectrum from Guild Wars, though. You are heavily directed, which...
