  1. People still play videogames? I thought everyone was too busy screwing around with farmville and microtransaction advertisements.

    On a more serious note, are we really still talking about graphics? This past (current?) generation advanced graphics to the point where I can't really see caring about any extra gains in that department. In fact it will probably only do more to push every representation of a human being in a western-made video game further into my Uncanny Valley, where they've been pretty much since the 360 and PS3 were launched.

    Beyond that, what are the selling points? Social media enabler bullcrap? Motion controls? I don't really do social media, and motion controls were stupid when Nintendo did them, they're pretty much always just going to be for gimmick games and kiddy crap. What else? World of Brown and Gray: The Shootening? A port of a half-assed PC game?

    If you paid me to do it, I might get a PS4. Odds are pretty good I'll not be bothering.

  2. Well, you know a large majority of the nations currently existing are just inactives with extremely small nations, who've made one and will never log on again, with an enormous turnover. A nation with 551 NS is ranked above about 20% of all nations, for instance. A nation with 1,028 NS is ranked in the top 78%, so there are ~4k nations at less than 1k NS. I think it's always been like this, except that we're 5 years into the game, so there's fewer people to find the game for the first time, make a nation, and forget about it completely. I think that might account for some of the decline in "player base."

  3. I think part of it is that the people who post on the OWF tend to be the people who take it more seriously. In our day BRIG made some friends through fighting them, and eventually allied several of our historic enemies, because conflict with them allowed us to get to know them and find that ultimately they were pretty decent folks.
