Really AA Not Even In Top 10 On MMORPG?

Spankster77Spankster77 Member UncommonPosts: 487

Ok so, I am officially writing this site off and it's users off.  Archeage is rocking like a 7.1 rating while "MMOS" like GW2 are 8.5, a prime example of how out of touch people on this site are.  What does FFXI4, GW2, and TSW have that AA doesn't, other than queues? 

 

I have completely lost respect for this community!  AA is everything that everyone on here has been whining about for years yet to my surprise you guys aren't happy.  I mean 7.1, really?

    You also forget that 99% of this site's community are PvE carebears, and also that the numbers on here are usually bought.

    well now, considering you cant even get in to AA to take a look, im not surprised.

    When I said i had "time", i meant virtual time, i got no RL "time" for you.

    Well let's see:

    1) it runs Hackshield, which is a -10 in most people's books (the game outright refuses to even run on my computer, so if I was the reviewer I'd give it a 0/10)

    2) it requires Glyph, yet another dedicated proprietary launcher software which clutters up my PC

    3) it has some bizarre fatigue system which deliberately impedes player progress (I haven't been paying much attention to the recent changes so this may or may not have changed since early beta)

    4) it can't shake the stigma that most people seem to approach it with that it's a generic Korean grinder (which it is). This shouldn't be surprising since it was made by the former lead developer of Lineage 2, Jake Song.

    It fully deserves its average rating I believe.

    Remember, it has to be fun to be a game. Grinding is a bedroom activity, and the point is definitely not to do my wife as fast as possible.

    or maybe its not even out yet, or for that matter not actully all its hypd to be, but i am nnot one of the PvP elite so what would i know.

    F2P may be the way of the future, but ya know they dont make them like they used toimage

    Considering the launch I'm not surprised.

    No. Just no. It probably was for the ones who believed the hype here when XL announced it. Not after playing beta and launch. Sorry.

    Having a few sandbox elements doesnt overlook the majority of the content which is generic mmo stuff. So no, higher score hasnt been earned yet.

    but hey.... Good bye.

     

    EDIT: your first paragraph implies that AA is the best mmorpg out there. Well...  that might be your opinion, but the game is far from the best.

    EDIT 2: I would give AA a higher score than Wildstar although you didnt mention that one.

    It's really not. Far from it.

    A friend of mine finished it in about 40 hours (max level, seen all there is to see etc.). He says, don't bother, so I won't. He knows what I like so I trust him. To my knowledge, he's not playing Archeage anymore either.

    Maybe it really does deserve the 7.1.

    It is most definitely not what i've been "whining" about for the past decade. AA is barely ok for me. I'll agree with the other poster its better than wildstar and gw2 and TSW though but thats saying absolutely nothing for me because i believe those games are utter trash.

    Thank you OP. Your rant put a smile on my face this morning.

    Well I'm going into this game expecting very little. I mean it is F2P after all (can't be that great if people won't even pay a sub to play it....). I got a taste of it while playing the Russian beta, and as people have said it just felt generic. The skill system was some what interesting, but once again as most have said; there are really only a few viable combinations people are going to use for end game.     I'll enjoy playing it with a few friends for a week or two just because it is free.

    Really? People wanted highly gear dependend combat in which the one with one tier higher gear wins by default and they want to be able to have castle sieges once a month where the attacker is decided by who has the most gold and the fight is limited to 100vs100?

     

    That is news to me. But to answer your question: At least GW2 has castle sieges for more than a few hours, once a month.

    Yeah...AA should get a higher rating....cause why not?

    GW2 haters have fun...still going strong. Then they will say the same about ESO....still a large base playing.

     

    Keep pretending you haters....
