  • Some of the personal attacks can be useful.  They help a LOT in the beginning stages when you don't have many pets.  Otherwise, it can be horribly tedious.  If the attack has a secondary effect, it's nice as well.  Personal attacks in the thug line …
  • Like other genres (and other forms of entertainment), the mass market products are going to be huge budget, evolutionary products that are cookie cutter.  Most people are still perfectly happy with WoW.  Every so often, an independent product will s…
  • 1) We've been playing basically the same game with a different skin for far too long.  As everyone mentioned, lack of innovation is killing our enthusiasm for the genre. 2) If you do anything for thousands of hours, it makes perfect sense that you…
  • I agree that Hellgate deserves serious consideration.  While it's status as a true MMORPG might be in question, I think the target audience largely matches the readers of this website/forum.  I'm sure plenty of people here would be interested in tal…
  • I do think a good MMO on a console could do a lot to make MMO's even more mainstream.  X360's and PS3's are essential high end PC's right now with good market penetration.  With the right controls/voice options, it's no different from sitting at a P…
  • A roaming shooter for a spy?  Hard to explain why you would be roaming an area and shooting everyone in sight.  An evil villain's hideout, I guess?  I don't know.  Grinding random mobs in a shooter just seems kinda strange to me. And UNITE players…
  • I'm really happy that this game is going to allow the freedom to chose. I'm one of the unlucky people who get headaches from playing FPS games for too long.  I get it to a far less degree in 3rd person 'over the shoulder' perspectives.  It's proba…
  • While I agree that the console manufacturers are having a 'fun' time overcharging for hard drives, I disagree about LCD monitor costs vs TV's.  Do some actual research before making erroneous statements.  Just recently, I wanted to upgrade my monito…
  • First, being asked to speak about the MMO industry at that convention with a speech called 'How to Create a Successful MMO' is proof enough that ArenaNet and their developers are some of the most highly regarded people in the industry. Second, I …
  • I think I'm trying to be optimistic and hoping that Garriott and his team does well.  I have real world development experience, so I'm sympathetic towards huge development projects that have incredibly high expectations. It would be nice if all g…
  • Arggh!  Stop it, you diehard SoE haters.  It's been years since the SWG debacle, and they've actually been quite good since them.  SoE is one of the major MMO developers and they have some of the best people.  At the same time, they are only human a…
  • When I first starting playing Guild Wars, it used to kill me that I couldn't jump.  It annoyed the heck out of me that I had to navigate the loooooong way around the geography.  Of course, now that I've logged some massive hours, I don't care, but i…

  • I totally agree that if you just want some games to play for month or two, I high recommend looking into some single player games.  There are a TON of incredible gaming experiences that a lot of MMO gamers completely miss.  If you prefer online gami…
  • I spent a weekend playing the beta, so my impressions are very cursory, so I'll just say that I can't disagree with much of what the original poster is saying.  You can see where Richard Garriott tried to make some 'revolutionary' changes, but you c…
  • Wha?? Don't buy a rig off Ebay.  That's crazy.  You'll get no technical support or any real guarantee that your system will even work properly.  A computer is not a toy.  Buy from a place that is reputable and has solid technical support.
  • My primary point is that most Korean gamers grew up playing a different set of games compared a Western gamer.  They have different expectations.  They have different requirements. It's quite likely that if a Korean gamer tries playing a Western …
  • Building your own is not necessarily cheaper.  If you are starting from scratch, then the incredible buying power of Dell makes it possible to buy a package including monitor, speakers, etc...at a price that a DIY custom build will have a hard time …
  • Originally posted by xenoclix I think honestly, the thing that will hurt WoW would be a Anime MMO. I disagree.  The biggest reason why WoW is so popular is because it drew in the casual gamer.  Anime is popular, but not that popular.  It's not…
  • Originally posted by Spiider Thousands of things to do? You mean gazillion quests made on the same "go kill 20 x creatures" principle?   WOW is shallow. It is game for the lazy. Be realistic.  The vast majority of games are exactly the same. …
  • As long as you don't buy from a boutique shop and don't buy the very top of the line components, $2500 will go very far. I'm not a big fan of any of the boutiques, even the now Dell-owned Alienware.  You are paying extra for things that you don't…
