  • Pretty disappointed they seemed to have totally ditched that suave, stylish-yet-fun cartoon style in favour of the bland, generic high-poly (= high spec requirement) look just like every other game on the shelves. This was their chance to try someth…
  • Long as Cryptic follows their past practice there will certainly be something fairly customizable in the pipeline - once they got around to adding Supergroup Bases in CoX , they worked pretty well and gave the user a decent amount of freedom & f…
  •  Meh whatever. Sure the champions of Fallen Earth may have won a victory for Truth and Justice, but the cruel reality is that the game probably deserved something not too far removed from the score it got. It's a fantastic setting and a great concep…
  •  The problem here is that different people have different ideas about what the term "grind" actually means. To some (like the OP) it means that reaching max level takes a really long time. Obviously by those standards Aion does not qualify. However …
  •  For all the many problems AoC has had since it launched, in lots of ways this game definitely raised the bar for MMO gaming. I keep catching myself while playing other (recent and older) titles thinking "Yeah, but Conan did this better". The graphi…
  •  Fallen Earth is probably closer in overall gameplay 'feel' to your old experiences of SWG than Darkfall. It does have a level system, but then a skill system is just a level system by another name... after all the essence of these games is that you…
  • Originally posted by Hersaint A static world. "Lord of the Rings" is to me an epic story of Evil, if left unchecked encroaching on and devouring the Good life. The game missed the forced battle and defense to push back evil and protect the Good…
  •  Well, I'm relieved to see I'm not the only one who reads Morrison's text and sees a reasonable, sensible and well written argument. Sure it's not "I Have A Dream" but it's certainly not indicative of any kind of failure, weakness or whatever. Gue…
  • Originally posted by metalhead980 You seem to come down alittle hard on both games tbh. Saying FEs crafting is as simplistc as any other mmo is a bit off. The entire game revolves around it and When I played FE You could totally avoid the majo…
  •  Excellent thread, well-written and honest exposition which mirrors my own experiences in these two Betas. A few screenshots to break up that wall of text and you'd have a fully-fledged MMORPG.com blog in the making. As it stands, your many valid po…

  • Originally posted by Malakhon I must have hit a nerve. haha. Sorry.   Not at all. I mean sure, I've had my share of trouserless moustachio'd cowboy boot wearing pimp daddy toons in my day, but I don't feel self-conscious or apologetic about it…
  •  Unfortunately for you Malakhon that is the nature of MMO games, and in fact life in general: not everybody shares your tastes, playstyle or sense of humour. I just hope you can see the irony of labelling someone an "attention whoring goof" because …
  •  Meh another contest for US residents only... it's a good thing creativity only exists there.
  • Originally posted by cyberkitten0 Open Beta, headstart, 6-month subscriber. I'm seeing a lot of moaning, but seriously I'm not that bothered. I'm still enjoying the game, I just die a bit more often It always amuses me how much rage there are on …
  • Ok a lot of this new (promised) content does sound very interesting, particularly (for me) the larger, more organic zones. But a new race? I mean what's the point? Given that in AoC there's no realm-based PVP, no NPC racial recognition (Stygians s…
  • Solid review, definitely agree with most of your points (though never got past lvl 20 myself, too many alts...). One thing I will say though is that a decent proportion of the negativity of your review revolves around issues of balance and competi…
