kung fu chaos time! Such a great game, a little insensitive perhaps...glorious sofa multipleyer game though
I kept that disk hoping they'd backwards compat it for many years
Out of all the og Xbox games, Kung Fu Chaos provided the most fun and laughs with friends. It honestly still holds up gameplay wise. I still play it sometimes. The minigames were the best.
Tangent: Imho, the only reason it is good is because it's not as grindy and / or the community just didn't put as much emphasis on min-maxing things. GearScore was a thing of course, but theory crafting wasn't anywhere close to what we have now.
Not sure that's true for me, very good raids (minus the trial). Ulduar and Icecrown being the highlights for my guild. Though didn't mind the single boss ones either. Trial was a little janky though but the fights were fun. The big progression guild we were part of up through burning crusade wanted to leave for greener server pastures, a handful of us were kinda done with hard progression and the cuthroat nature of it. Picked up a few more and did 10mans/hardmodes mostly. Hooked up with another guild like us for 25man but we only cleared those hard modes once.. 25man was still a management nightmare...
Played through pandaland, skipped warlords, came back for some of legion and then finally broke the habit.
You were likely unlucky with the client you used. I host a small server for family and friends. Some seem to go great (browser, roku, android(to an extent)), but others seem to have a whole myriad of issues. I've ended up just putting a roku in the hands of people i give access to.
This echos my thoughts precisely. I clocked up a lot of hours 2004 to 2009, and more casual for a couple of years after. I feel you have to really commit to this game to get the real fun out of it. And sadly i don't have entire nights free to dedicate to games any more...so I'm done with it. I still miss it, even now...but i know that ship has sailed.
I'm sorry, but this comes across as exactly the same kind of bias as the author. "my knowledge of windows sysadmin methods means Unix methods are crap".
I'm afraid it's horses for courses, it's always been. We'll all pick our own preferences of course,but let's not assume total superiority over "them".
You did such a great job they still try and steer people this route. I've multiple times mentioned "you know we don't need to emulate tape drives any more"
