World of Sea Battle

Asheram — Sat, 30 May 2026 14:52:43 +0000

An age of sail f2p mmo that I am surprised has not been mentioned here. It is like Eve Online but with sailing ships, has decent graphics and mechanics, a player driven economy and not really that big of a grind if you only do the pve stuff and has a decent atmosphere to hang out in imo. It has been out in Russia since 2019 and released NA and EU servers last year October 2025. It is also on steam so no need to use a seperate launcher for access.

In Retrospective: Thoughts, Rants Or Hot Takes On Previous & Current Console/Gaming Generations?

MonsutaMan — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 01:01:16 +0000

No wrong answers, or how to answer (Long....sorry....No Girlfriend, have time).

-I Personally feel the 5th generation was an experimental phase, & devs did not wholly grasp what they were doing lol.......Those games were/are rough.

-SEGA Channel was probably cooler than I originally thought in the 90's. It was Gamepass, or Cablepass.

-Saturn was the best 5th gen console.

-32X was worse than I thought (Owned one)

-Were you crazy enough to own a Neo Geo at the time?

-PS2, til this day, may indeed be the best console ever created.

-Genesis & SNES was the most competitive console generation? SEGA owned the majority of the gaming market share at one point.

-Sonic Adventure 1 was better than 2.....Am I alone lol? SA2 just had better music.

-Mario Sunshine was terrible.......never played a Mario mainland title since (As a Nintendo kid....Now adult)

-GameCube was the worst console of that gen..........

-Killer Instinct may have been the best 16-bit fighter

-Looking back, San Andreas is still my favorite GTA title, & PS2 Game.

-DS had the best Pokémon titles, imo.

-Megaman X titles > Megaman titles (8 was peak though)

-I played the MMO Final Fantasy XI through 3 console gens.......Stage ??? of the addiction?

-Final Fantasy XI will outlast Final Fantasy XIV....again......

-The WoW Killer is WoW 2 (No MMO outside of WoW will dethrone WoW....I don't play WoW btw)

-Game reviews are bought & paid for. A press device of sorts for big publishers.

-Microsoft is transitioning to takeover the gaming market (I sound crazy, I know.....)

-ES & FO will be Xbox launch titles.

-ES 6 will take place in Akavir & Tamriel. Your race, dictates your starting region (Can visit the other during the invasion).

-FO5 will take place in a global setting.

-Current gen, may go down as the worst.......

Rants? Opinions? Did Nintendo p*ss you off? Lets hear it........
