    Compared to something like Hades where a run ends in twenty minutes and teaches you something new each time, this world just let you disappear into it for a whole evening without any real goal, and somehow that was the point.

    La même échelle, oui, mais rarement le même camp.

    fps drops in raids, ui feels ancient tbh, still functional tho

    honestly not sure why people rank this so low, thousands of people running around the same world at once was wild for its time, does anyone else think that alone deserves more credit than it gets

    Impressive at the time sure, but I spent a week in those crowded zones and mostly remember lag, not wonder.

    the sheer scale of it still blows my mind, how does anything else even compare?

    Tromp53

    Same feeling here honestly, why do people even keep pushing this duel?

    Yo pasé unas 40 horas solo explorando zonas viejas, y esa escala sigue sin tener rival para mí.

    People keep throwing Hades at it like it's a fair fight, but one is a tight little loop and the other never really ends, they're not even playing the same game honestly.
