Sylum.1806 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Anyone spoken with Agent Hamna at the entrance of the Domain of Vabbi in detail found what she had to say strangely resonant with our current geopolitical climate? That talk about a civilization crumbling to a power vacuum if we remove the dictator, about Elonians brainwashed to see Awakening and the Awakened differently from other Tyrians? Am I the only one who felt like these were allusions to post-war Middle East and North Korea?Shoutout to the developers by the way. Just as Season 3 surpassed Season 2's storytelling, PoF has surpassed all before it. What a fantastic campaign worthy of a place among classic AAA single player RPG titles.

The story has been lack luster since mordys involvement. PoF had way too many downs than ups to consider it good. But to the main point, have you played Gw1? Because this war in game has nothing to do with real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having to slog 12-14 hours a day doing mobile game development on a product nowhere near as good as GW2, and barely having anytime myself to play games made with dedication and heart, I might be a bit more appreciative and accommodating of developer efforts.The praise I gave was heartfelt, because producing content is really way tougher than consuming it, especially on a live environment. Honestly, I used to be full of salty comments for video games and their developers until getting into the industry myself. This is honestly an industry that burns people out. I'll like to think PoF deserves some commendation for the quality it did manage to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a different topic :p. Content and development is fine. But like everything, people pay for a quality product that is hardly privileged. Comparing story to an AAA story level is a stretch. They get paid to write, yet the writing has been key at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It barely skims the surface of being better though.What I do mean it does not compare to the Witcher series or Mass Effect (before the red or blue pill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
