You wouldn’t think Thanksgiving and Black Friday week would generate much MMORPG news, but you’d be wrong!

Black Desert introduces new boss instances and...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/30

If we had to summarize this week in Black Desert’s patches, it would be that instances are being updated. Admittedly that doesn’t cover everything that all three versions of the sandbox MMORPG have seen, but it is pretty much about instances and the bosses within those instances. You gotta do something while waiting to learn […]

2025/11/30

Stop! Stay very still! Don’t look right now, but you’re in danger. In danger of being overshadowed by fashion genius, that is! That’s because Vincent is already preparing for the cosmetic system improvements coming to Final Fantasy XIV in December. “I realize 7.4 is still a month away, but trust in this: my glam dresser […]

2025/11/30

This will likely not surprise any of our readers, but I am not a venture capitalist and I thus am not choosing which products I toss my money into. If I were, though, I can’t see a scenario wherein I would want to be an angel investor for Pantheon. Not because I think the game is […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/30

BitCraft is one of the understated success stories in the MMO genre this year, although it still has a ways to go in early access before it’s fully fleshed out. The sandbox title took a significant step in that direction this week by finally adding “the first version” of an action bar (hotbar) to the […]

2025/11/29

As reported earlier, Star Citizen has been extremely fixated on spaceships for the past several days, which isn’t necessarily new behavior but it has been a greater output than usual. That appears to be by design, as discussed by CIG devs during the most recent Star Citizen Live stream. The devs brought on to talk […]

Now that her automated bakery service is up and running smoothly, Massively OP’s MJ can turn her attention back to a very important task: The great clean up of Planet Crafter.

2025/11/29

Since Raven2 launched a few weeks back, I’ve been logging in here and there to play in small sessions when time allows. The animations and graphics are right up my alley, and I was impressed with a lot of the responses I got back from the Doo-Hyun Cho, Netmarble’s head of development for Raven2 in […]

2025/11/29

Regular fans of World of Tanks know by now that Wargaming has developed a penchant for smashing its Holiday Ops event together with famous actors – no matter how dissonant the combination may appear to be on paper. There was Vinnie Jones in 2023, Jason Statham in 2024, and this year it’s being hosted by […]

2025/11/29

As the old video game design adage goes, players will always, always take the path of least resistance to a goal even if there’s a more engaging and interesting alternative that might take longer. Oh, we can all cite exceptions to this, but by and large, we know it’s true. If there’s a quick-but-boring route to […]

One of Massively OP’s MJ’s yearly traditions is spending Black Friday in AdventureQuest 3D. It’s not just because there is cool loot! OK, that is part of it. But not all. And this year has the Turdricken! It’s not to eat, however; it is for sitting on. Or following MJ around. These new Turdricken come […]

Yes, we have another Hytale week! And for good reason because we have it on good authority (read: official announcement) that the game will be heading to early access on January 13th.

In a world where inflation, shrinkflation, and price gouging is everywhere, it’s always nice to know that you’re getting something for free. The developers over at Eleventh Hour were happy to tell players this week that they don’t need to worry about paying extra for Last Epoch’s upcoming expansion. “Anyone on PC who owns Last […]
