Wrong.

The very first DLC ever was a Horse with Armour which did nothing else or gave any special stats NOTHING. People payed for that Horse DLC and that was the moment the gaming industrie realized that this kind of monetarization works.

I know i am old....i was there and saw it with my own eyes.

I think I am older cause I remember buying DLC that was in CDs like Age of Empires 2: The Conquerors Edition. They were called expansions back then!

Hmm if we are talking bout Expansions. Wonder how many forgot UO (Ultima Online) released in September 1997 came out before Age of Emp. released in Oct.1997 and UO's first expansion The Second Age was released in Sept.1998 while AoE II was in October 1998.

Even an article-advertisement in EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) calling out to readers to eat the battle axe to the face and get UO:SA or just be a scared newbie playing it safe with Madden 98.

Go, go, go! Gotta go fast, fast, fast!

@Viola-Lance ah the weapon that is used by marion le sheila how would that work as a multi weapon

Took me a bit, for got I had this booked marked lol as it was and a basic visual on Wolfwood's Cross Gun in Trigun and all the weapons it can, and possibly can turn into based on the manga.

So the real question should be is who is using PSO2:NGS as an in-between game until Blue Protocol releases?

Divine Cannon needs an update and should be a multi weapon camo ... Pretty much could be all weapons except for Harmonizer.

In hindsight, any online game runs risk of bleeding players out and eventually dying to what new trend happens to pop up. It is just as much as a risk as said company just pulling the plug on the game for any given reason as well with little to zero notice.

I've survived plenty of online games coming and going. Some hurt, a lot. City of Heroes / Villains and Wildstar. While others, not shocked when new companies took over (cough SOE cough) and nose dived beloved games or one that had the potential to become great into absolute oblivion; SWG, Matrix Online. As well watching once great games hemorrhage players cause their company is doing something. Yep they sure are doing something alright, not sure what, but it is something; WoW, SWtOR, GW2... Not to include obscure games that should have died ages ago still survive... DCUO - not including many, many more that can be mentioned.

Overtime, I just come to the terms - enjoy what there is while looking forward to what else may come, but do not be shocked or disappointed if the worse eventually happens, be it sooner or later.

As well, do not let nostalgia be a driving force; only ends in heart aches.

@Jamesmor said in Is Diablo 2 of any threat to the games player base?:

I don't get it, how Diablo 2 will be a threat to PSO2 when both are in complete different genres?

the only game I can see being affected is Path of Exile that is the same genre of Diablo 2 and let's not forget that Blizzard name is being tarnished so badly after Warcraft 3 Refounded Reforge

Not to mention the former Blizzard Co-founder and a good portion of the original team that helped build them to what they are today and a large chunk of the ones from the 700+ laid off in 2019 are basically rebuilding Blizzard from the group up again. As Dreamhaven.

That had to put a sting in Ion's side.

@Viola-Lance Is that a joke referencing Peter Thiel throwing his money behind a frivolous lawsuit aimed at their previous parent company Gawker because they made an article about critical of Hulk Hogan? It really doesn’t make sense to me seeing that both of their sites I use, Gizmodo and Kotaku still operate as normal

No, it is an honest question. Since they have long gone past their ways from their EGM root inspiration.

I am no means saying Kotaku is Buzzfeed level - yet. But, some how, I thought they moved into the new age tech company profiling of articles and news, to establish more current non gaming / non pop culture topics but current debates based off of what is popular on social media. Could be wrong, hopefully I am. It has been many of summers since I visited them, and the last visit wasn't a good read.

Love the combat, especially with ranged combat Ranger and Force. Mainly love the visuals... versus ESO - which is fun, and active - rather lack luster in grand scheme of things of looks though.

NGS Fire; Hell as been brought forth upon Liz-san.

ESO Fire; feel like a bit of spilled coals from a grill about to extinguish, no worries.

NGS Frost; Death ice cometh.

ESO Frost; a bit of condensation there on the grass, watch your step so you don't slip.

NGS / ESO Shock-Lightning; I wear wool socks to make zippy zaps!

@PBJ-Time Wait, Kotaku is still around? Thought they folded from the pseudo gaming-political journalism dog-eat-dog world and moved on to being a tech company?
