That’s just the reality of things. Comparing every Mega Man game to every Castlevania game doesn’t really work; comparing every Mega Man game to every Final Fantasy game super doesn’t work. They’re different sorts of things and not trying to be the same. Hence why […]]]> https://massivelyop.com/2022/12/16/epic-mmo-battles-of-history-azeroth-vs-final-fantasy-xiv-antagonists/feed/ 14 https://massivelyop.com/2021/11/30/epic-mmo-battles-post-apocalyptic-edition-fallout-76-vs-fallen-earth/ https://massivelyop.com/2021/11/30/epic-mmo-battles-post-apocalyptic-edition-fallout-76-vs-fallen-earth/#comments Tue, 30 Nov 2021 17:00:00 +0000 https://massivelyop.com/?p=364647 It just struck me over this past weekend that we post-apocalyptic fans are now blessed with two solid and intriguing online RPGs to enjoy. As a fan of both Fallout 76 and Fallen Earth, I love that I have this expanded option to jump between these worlds rather than being solely confined to one to […]]]> https://massivelyop.com/2021/11/30/epic-mmo-battles-post-apocalyptic-edition-fallout-76-vs-fallen-earth/feed/ 7 https://massivelyop.com/2018/11/08/epic-mmo-battles-of-history-world-of-warcrafts-wrath-of-the-lich-king-vs-legion/ https://massivelyop.com/2018/11/08/epic-mmo-battles-of-history-world-of-warcrafts-wrath-of-the-lich-king-vs-legion/#comments Thu, 08 Nov 2018 16:00:00 +0000 https://massivelyop.com/?p=194635 It was just a couple of days ago when Bree was sharing that I felt like Wrath of the Lich King was the best World of Warcraft has ever been. But was it actually the best, or is that a matter of memory tilting it to be the best? I mean, that game was released […]]]> https://massivelyop.com/2018/11/08/epic-mmo-battles-of-history-world-of-warcrafts-wrath-of-the-lich-king-vs-legion/feed/ 31 https://massivelyop.com/2016/12/05/epic-mmo-battles-of-history-star-trek-online-vs-star-wars-the-old-republic/ Mon, 05 Dec 2016 17:00:00 +0000 http://massivelyop.com/?p=82595 Asking whether Star Trek or Star Wars is the better science fiction series is like asking whether Game of Thrones or The Tudors is a better fantasy series. That hasn’t stopped it from being hotly (and pointlessly) debated in fandom circles more or less since the dawn of time, with the only unity to be […]]]> https://massivelyop.com/2016/10/11/epic-mmo-battles-of-history-world-of-warcraft-vs-final-fantasy-xiv/ https://massivelyop.com/2016/10/11/epic-mmo-battles-of-history-world-of-warcraft-vs-final-fantasy-xiv/#comments Tue, 11 Oct 2016 15:00:00 +0000 http://massivelyop.com/?p=78604 You know what I usually hate? Superhero fight discussions. Any fight discussion, really. Asking “who would win in a fight between Superman and the Hulk” always has the same two answers: whoever the writers want to win, and neither of them because people have more fun discussing it than actually reading about it.

While those of us who have been playing for years can attest to EVE‘s depth and long-term gripping power, it has always been a difficult game for […]]]> https://massivelyop.com/2016/05/01/eve-evolved-fixing-the-new-player-experience-again/feed/ 159 https://massivelyop.com/2016/04/18/eve-evolved-what-to-expect-from-eve-fanfest-2016/ https://massivelyop.com/2016/04/18/eve-evolved-what-to-expect-from-eve-fanfest-2016/#comments Mon, 18 Apr 2016 16:00:00 +0000 http://massivelyop.com/?p=56312 Ask the average gamer what he knows about EVE Online and after the word “boring” and a spreadsheet joke or two, he’ll probably talk about stories of massive scams, colossal space wars and savage politics. Though EVE is well known for its cut-throat in-game universe, the shared struggles of players have created some very close-knit communities and enduring friendships over the years.
