basically every MMORPG since like Ultima Online, Asheron’s Call, Dark Age of Camelot.

It’s impressive how much the genre got so fucked. even just the most basic and rudimentary shit: the fucking idiots at Blizzard couldn’t realize you need 3 factions in an MMO or else world pvp is fucked and pointless. Trion, to their credit, realized their mistake with Rift and patched a third faction in later on. Blizzard?

the one caveat is planetside2. they knew all they needed to do was remake PS1 with updated graphics. they absofuckinglutely nailed it. ESO as well is generally cool and good, although there needs to be way more taming, resource gathering, open world activities etc. a la UO.

Asheron’s Call

My absolute favorite MMORPG ever. The worldbuilding is so unique and cool, I still to this day have never seen anything like it. Dereth is a legit cool world. Even the post-apocalyptic Asheron’s Call 2 had this otherwordly feeling to it.

I steal so much from that game when it comes to D&D and my own personal writing. Nobody knows about that shit these days so I get to look cool when I present my own twists on the lore.

Jurassic World retconned the 2nd and 3rd movies which were retrospectively far superior to any of the the new franchise.

All the Dune ‘prequels’ and ‘sequels’ by Brian.

The Crystal Chronicles remake removing all the shit that made the game great. No local coop? No fully co-op campaign? No caravan stuff? Glad emulators can get the OG running now.

I don’t really watch movies or TV, so mo opinion there.

Yeah, they made it prettier, and of course made it playable online without the cumbersone GBA setup thing, but its more of a drop-in, drop-out style, where your friends can join you on your campaign, rather than the OG, where it really felt like you all were on the caravan together, and the mostly got rid of the village, letters, and backstory stuff
