• Maybe - but I'm not going to pay for the beta, especially this one. On the upside, this games seems to be the kind of SciFi MMORPG I could like. On the other hand, it seems the old company took money from people before and those people are left ha…

• Originally posted by JRRNeiklot 3D was the beginning of the end for video games. I beg to differ. 3D, especially with first person perspective, brought a new level of immersion. Instead of looking down on the map and directing your little avatar f…

• I think graphics matter to some extent - but very few games fall below my personal minimum requirements these days. Graphics should look halfway realistic and come with decent resolutions, so you can recognize things in the game world at some dista…

• That was... ...unfortunate but not unexpected. Unfortunate because the flight mechanics were a lot of fun, just like in Freelancer. And the game start aka Prolog actually had an exciting story, so the dev team was obviously capable of quality work…

• If you like space games like Privateer or Freelancer, I can recommend the X series from Egosoft: http://www.egosoft.com/games/x3ap/info_en.php. Think Freelancer with a larger world, a more dynamic economy and the option to own stations and multiple…

  in Will we ever have proper large scale in pvp? Comment by Rabiator July 2012
• Originally posted by paroxysm We can't have battles that scale that large until things change. 1.  Technology.  We need a new gap jump in how things are done.  You can't be immersed in PvP when it's not smooth.  Turning graphic quality down and vi…

• Neocron (even if it is technically not dead yet). In terms of features, it was far ahead of its time end would still count as decent today. Unfortunately, the coding quality sucked hard, and so the potential of the game remained potential instead …

• Originally posted by Valkaern Originally posted by MMOarQQ ArcheAge will save us. Maybe... Hopefully it'll be worth the wait. I think it's a pretty smart move on their part to integrate the two as a 'Sandpark'. I don't think they have…

  in Theme Park(new gamers) vs Sandbox(oldschool gamers) Comment by Rabiator March 2012
• Based on how much time I spent in it, probably Day Of Defeat (1.x and DOD:Source counted as one, since DOD:Source is mostly a graphics upgrade). Second place actually goes to a MMO: Eve Online. Also worth mentioning: Civilisation II and X3 Terra…

  in General: Hiding the Game - Immersion Comment by Rabiator February 2012
• I don't care about "big" in the sense of popular much, but one (non-MMO) thing I'm looking forward to is X-Rebirth (Elite style space sim combined with empire building). I might get it a few months after launch though, as the X-series tends to be …

• Considering graphics, I want full 3D but I'll settle for slightly obsolete graphics. The sort that went into AAA games 5-10 years ago. Think Half Life 1 or better. While the characters still looked a bit rough in that generation of games, they had e…
