Five Pointed Questions About TESO

When the development of The Elder Scrolls Online was officially confirmed back in 2012, it was one of the most exciting MMORPG announcements ever. The enormous popularity of the single-player franchise on both PC and consoles meant it had a huge core target audience, and the world of Tamriel had a strong inter-faction conflict element that would transition easily. Unfortunately, it seems pretty safe to say that the game has fallen short of the potential it initially seemed to have.

Player housing in Shards Online is unique for many reasons. The biggest reason is because your house and the decorations/furniture/trophies you put inside it are more real than in other MMOs. Everything you find or create as you explore the worlds of Shards Online can be used to decorate your home, inside and out, to make it stand out. You will hire NPCs to work on your land as guards, merchants, or even an apprentices to your craft.

Destiny: How a Dongle and a Re-Roll Got Me to Try Bungie’s MMO Again

How a Dongle and a Re-Roll Got Me to Try Bungie

I wasn't overly fond of Destiny when it launched last year. I enjoyed the tight FPS controls on my PS4, but the hackneyed story, the repetitive progression, and the overall disjointed feeling of so many long loading screens between everything eventually pushed me away. But I recently came back, and this time I think I might stay for a while...

38Studios, founded by baseball superstar Curt Schilling, took a loan for $75M from the state of Rhode Island, a loan which the company defaulted on in spectacular fashion.

General: Five Things Update 2.0 and The Taken King Can Bring to Destiny

Five Things Update 2.0 and The Taken King Can Bring to Destiny

There are two things that I really like about Destiny: its tried and true Bungie combat, and its phenomenal vistas. As I've written about in the past, I find the FPS gameplay in Destiny to be engaging enough, and I really enjoy the game's visuals, but have been unimpressed by its overall approach to content and lack of streamlining.
