nerdSlayer Studios is a channel that produces high quality, in-depth, educational documentaries about dead, or dying games. nerdSlayer has been playing virtual worlds for 23 years, has alpha/closed tested every major MMO, and has consulted on multiple virtual projects too. I bring with me, a wealth of information, that I augment through the support of my strong base of detectives on this channel. The channel being a collaborative effort means we get to arrive at conclusions and solve "crimes" together through the use of the Death of a Game series!
If you want to learn more about your favorite virtual worlds, virtual worlds in general, and the many concepts and mechanics that are inside of them, this is the right channel for you :).

I wanted to play the Pokemon TCG for the first time in years. Imagine my shock and irritation when I learned that, upon transfer from Online to Live, I'd lose access to a bunch of older cards, but now I can't even battle friends in the Expanded format. It only allows Standard. Who designed this crap?
No more dev updates yup selling my copy for 33 bucks still worth some money 😅 I played a lot of suicide squad killed just league and I am just disappointed at this point
One of the saddest memories I have as a Halo fan was day 1 of Halo 5 mid campaign I just stopped mid level coming to the realisation that for hours straight I just hadnt felt a flicker of fun or interest, that was the day for me I knew Halo was not going to be ok
I played the game for a few weeks in... 21? 22? I'm not an extraction shooter player at all, but the world, the looting and the PvE were really fun. Ultimately I quit because of getting killed by players. I think if they'd just not gone down the PvP extraction shooter road, making it co-op instead, they could've had some real success.
Anyone remember Holly? She was a terminally ill AC player, who's final wish was to take down Oolutanga. Masses of people got together for that raid, wiping out everything they ran into. They took the boss down to near dead, and Holly got the kill shot. I've heard different numbers but I'd say there were close to a thousand players. I was 2 and a half levels too low, and spent 18 hours, non stop, killing wasps in the Phyntos Menace dungeon to get to that level and join the raid. People signing out late at night were amazed to see me still in there, surrounded by a wall of corpses, the next morning. Only time I came out was to make new arrows. We did what Holly asked us to do. Sadly she passed away not long after.
A buddy at work got me hooked into AC, some time in 2003. We played together for a while til he moved on to WOW. By this time I was hooked. I played AC for about 3-4 more years, making friends all over the world. My original guild mates were from Pennsylvania, Texas, California, Florida and others. After a while I moved to WOW, again playing with my buddy. But I always kept AC in reserve, and often came back to it. It was a sad day when the servers shut down but it could be understood. I was on Frostfell, and the last time I logged in, there were about 300 on line. The vast majority were bots. That said, I just found out AC is alive and has a bunch of private servers. Loaded it on Friday and spent the weekend getting reacquainted. It was like coming home after a long while. I"ve also put over a thousand hours in Project Gorgon, being developed by some of the original devs. The feel of PG is much the same as AC. It's on steam, go check it out.
i had never truly played a game like this, and to this day, i am still looking for a game that is THIS FUCKING FUN, like the gameplay for each character, ESPECIALLY thor, is unparalleled to me, i need something to scratch that itch and will keep looking
Much love for Bungie, but selling the Halo franchise was insane. They could have put it on auto pilot. Improved graphics, add sprint and clamber over the years and called it a day. The mechanics in halo 1-reach were just so perfect they should have been preserved.
21:22 Small nitpick: Conroy's last project as Batman is _Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths_ (Part 3), an animated film that was released a few days ago AFAICT. It's possible he recorded this prior to recording SS, but at least SS is just the penultimate, rather than final, piece of media released with him in his iconic roll. RIP, Mr. Conroy, you will always be my Batvoice.
I hope even in like 10 years there still will be private servers, cuz once in a while I head back to Flaris to wasted hours of my life, hunting the nostalgia.
The trailer for this game blew my young fuckin mind in late 2006. I still find myself wondering about this game and what could have been and even have two paperback books that take place in the world so if anyone reading this comment want to jump into thebworld its still very possible.
ragnarok online is a part of the first generation of online players! it's nostalgic and we have great memories with friends, well.. during the early years of ragnarok, there were not a lot of toxic players so we enjoyed a lot! ragnarok gave birth to poring monsters, which had become a model and ancestor to all other round and bouncy monsters in every game . the ragnarok OST and themes are the best to this day! it is something that is very memorable to all ragnarok players
is any one of the original guys even still there? Epics current movements seem so antithetical to the once "for gamers from gamers" pro consumer attitude of the UT of old. I imagine if you went back in time and told one of the original devs "yeah in the future, your company will pay other game makers money so they put their games in your store and your store only, a store no gamer actually prefers. And the only game people think of when they hear your company's name is a game for impressionable children"
The game is much better without trading. The game is completely free to play and getting cards is hard at first but becomes very easy at a certain point and definitely easier than before. They give us most of the best decks for free. I spend no money on the game now and before I had to spend 100 dollars every time every set dropped to just get some of the new cards
We were all very excited when they announced they would be working on live to replace ptcgo. We were hoping for something like hearthstone or the mtg client. At this point however we just wish they left well enough alone. It's very clear they had people that didn't have a clue what they're doing to make the game and now they're just trying to keep up with the bugs. It's very clear there will be a point when there are too many bugs and it will no longer be fixable. It's unfortunate because we all use it for testing and a bunch of people use it for content and to make a living
Been playing the cycle (both versions) since like 2018, it's so unique and the guns were awesome. Too bad they didn't add any more guns for 5 WHOLE YEARS. Still wanna see it get relaunched
Cheers to valve despite how they play dead I have a bet they’ll get that Engine back and running they just need to start picking up steam… i’m going to die before half-life three comes out probably
A lesson that big suits seem to struggle with is, yes people will be upset if you dont give them what they want, but they will be doubly as angry if you straight up lie
NC over here all the way! remember playing this almost right after launch with a bunch of friends garnered via a forum. Rolling across the landscape in a big convoy of tanks (I was support/healing tank ... ammo or something) will stick with me for my entire life. It was *GREAT*
I only played this for a little bit before hopping into Planetside 2 during its earliest testing. PS2 still has to be one of my favorites of all time and it still seems like such a huge technical feat. My main gameplay loop was either being a sunderer driver or an anti-sunderer engineer with AT mine cheese. I do think the biggest downside of PS2 was the lack of logistics gameplay and just the feeling that you're no longer a soldier on a battlefield like in a milsim but more of a pile of nanites made to quick drop into combat. I imagine it was very hard for them to balance the interests of the playerbase between milsim players like us and the typical BF/COD type gamers who have no patience.
It sucks cause this was my favorite multiplayer shooter, but the servers ruined every game u play and the lack of content over time and new modes killed it 4 me
overwatch died when they nerfed widowmaker's damage. roadhog thus became the -1 character and the 3 tank meta emerged. from there the vision crumbled and the latent wokeness took centre stage and ripped everything apart.
What a massive achievement. Nothing like this had ever been even attempted before. Total freedom, uninhibited social connection, and a buffet of gameplay experiences. They don’t get enough props.
