It's just funny how you guys dodged every thing I say about the game and instead focus on my play time of WoW. I guess everything I wrote has no validity and I guess the people who echo the same things don't either because since you guys don't believe in it it must not be true. Honestly everything you guys write I take into account when replying but all I read back your replies it's all biased comments that really has no basis for argument. Again I want to remind who flamed who first. You guys couldn't take a negative review of the game even though I pointed out all the pros as well as the cons of the game and instead jumped all over my post like it was a blow to the gut. Don't blame me for defending my belief. Go ahead and play your WoW, nobody said you couldn't, if you enjoy the game then you do, just don't try to punk me when I criticize your MMO because honestly I can care less what you play.

The fact remains: You haven't even played it. Do you want me to review half-life 2(a game I haven't played at all)? Here goes:
Graphics: Not all they're hyped up to be. Just look at the screenshots. You need a good computer to make them look decent.
Gameplay: This is just like half-life one. No changes whatsoever. I hate the way you have to shoot things to kill them. And then the bodies remain on the ground. Don't you get some sort of diseases from rotting corpses? Someone should come clean them up. And the weapons all blow. That gravity gun is so unoriginal and it's imbalanced.
Music: Nothing special. Some old guy just put together the beetlejuice soundtrack again.
Sound: "Squeak squeak! I am a scary alien monster." This just makes me laugh.
Overall: 2/10 They should have released this game later, after they tweaked it for another two years.
You still think you have the right to rate a game while not having played it? I sure as hell don't. You have no basis for your arguments. You are outright lying.

Grinding is only boring if there's no tangible reward. In WoW you definitely don't grind, in fact, you probably shouldn't die either your first month. I guess that's one way to keep your customers happy. Honestly how do you die if you play right? Con the mobs, choose your battles wisely, know when to run, auto-HP regen, potion-fest, power leveling without XP penalty. You don't die very often in WoW seriously... And if you die you're playing the game wrong. And I guess Blizzard thought "well since experince points might come in slowly (I guess they didn't realize smart players won't be dying much), we'll just toss in most of the experience points based on quests." These quests turn out to be simple fedex quests or kill A, bring back B to C quests, very very original. You guys can flame me all you want, you know what I wrote is true even though the experience might be different for you fanboys. I'm not going to reply to this thread anymore so have fun flaming me. Just remember what I wrote as you play through WoW and think why on the web you hear one of two types of comments: "WOW!" and "Easy."

You're not right, unless you have a lot of luck you'll die quite often, though you don't really lose a lot when you do so. mobs spawn quite fast due to the dynamic spawning and it is hard to run away from them (well I'm a mage, but I also died(less) with my hunter, so...). I agree with the majority quests are like that , but really, what you want them to be? besides, have you tried to read the story they provide? and also you really tell me you haven't found any original one? (the "ghostbusters" quest, some of loch modan ones(I don't remember the name of none of this, too bad :P)). For the potion fest stuff, I've found this game to be the contrary, with the 2 min cooldown of potions, you cannot really rely on them as a continous source of healing but as a lifesaver, and above all the game is easy, I agree, but not so much, I mean, it only differs in it's difficulty from other games in that you have to do less things to lvl up while in other games you spend more time, making the grind more boring. Well, and for the poster who said that he reached lvl 35 in 17 hours, sry but I don't believe him, at least from my experience I find that impossible (if he can provide any proof, Ill be the first to apologize).
it is nice that even when the original poster ask for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and no flaming, the EQ crowd just feel compelled to come in and start the usual flame fest...
Never.. ever... complain about the WoW crowd... Not one post can you let be and stay constructive.. Not even one.. pathetic...
"This is not a game to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force"
