This is still true. However, I also don’t think I’ve ever really talked to it directly, or if I have, I’ve only mentioned it as a […]

Welcome one and all to another exhilarating session of “Did you really forget that you stink at shooters?” for I have, once again, fallen into a trap of my own making.

2025/11/14

With Horizon Steel Frontiers officially revealed as an NCsoft/Sony MMORPG, the recurring question for MMORPG fans so far has been just how MMORPG-like it’s going to be. Oh, sure, NCsoft has been making MMORPGs for decades, it has said repeatedly that the game is an MMORPG, and it’s even got the word “MMORPG” right in its […]

The Daily Grind: Which MMO is the least challenging?

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/14

I don’t mean today’s Daily Grind question in a negative way at all, so bear that in mind. I’m not judging anyone. I don’t actually think every MMORPG needs to be super challenging or super easy. I like having that spectrum. And some days, I just want to log in to an MMORPG and not […]
