Can a bad game become good?

After seeing XIV and MAHVEL do such big turn arounds with extra time and polish, and even FFXIII-2 compared to the first one, I'm starting to rethink the whole first impressions when it comes to games. Except for Mechwarrior Online, since there's no real salvaging that one under PGI's rule, am I right? I'm still gonna probably throw money at it for some Timberwolfs, seeing as they own the license now til 2020 from what I recall reading, so not like that game is going anywhere... Which it hasn't. Still the same game since Open Beta, more or less.

But yeah, Marvel Heroes is a pretty good game in the time killer department, if your system can run it. I've got nearly 400 hours sunk into it by now, since it helps fill the void I have now that XI isn't really a viable game outside of nostalgia, til they do some server merges down the road if I'm lucky. If you're looking for a Diablo fix, I think this does the job just fine, not to mention the whole free and MMO aspect makes it nice as well.

Group news after the cut, as it's a bit meaty.





As far as group news goes, The Ship won as the game people want to play this week, so we'll get something setup on the Steam group for that for at least a night, hopefully two or even a few more. I'll likely shoot an announcement about it and see what people are looking for as far as time to get it setup. I've also had slight rumblings about restarting interest in FFXIV as a group once the game gets more polished, seeing as we still have our FC, sans the 40-60ish members we lost due to first wave players in an MMO usually not being the best bunch to snatch up on wholesale.

With Cib as our main crafter / token laid back guy , Axel as our Resident PVP-Meister, and me per the usual walking wiki, I think we still have the makings of a solid group. Doesn't hurt that our loadout is Tank / DPS / Healer, respectively. Even if it just ends up being semi casual with just 4 mans due to Duty Finder, it may be worth looking into as more of the lesser players unsub and jump to the latest flavor of the month, leaving behind more serious players that exist for the sake of the game, instead of AoL Chatroom: Eorzea Edition.
