metadigital Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 But still, I fail to see any real advantage to MMORPGs that other games don't have Then I suspect you've never played one. There's that goofy intangible that I can't put my finger on that makes them appealing. I swore I would never subscribe to a game, but after playing the beta of WoW I was sold on it for a couple of months. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have. Veni, vidi, exeunt. I came, I saw, I left.

metadigital Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Nope. But I did play with a small group for a little while (that I met online); I didn't like the whole concept.

EnderAndrew Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I don't care for MMOs and I think most at their core are the same (gold farm, level grind and PvP) but I see what advantages they have. I just don't particularly care for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calax Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 this just in about the MMO of Marvel Hero's Strengthening an already-proven dedication to its online strategy, Microsoft has signed up exclusive rights to develop and publish massivly multiplayer online titles based on Marvel Comics' superheros for the Xbox 360. Microsoft clarified that its exclusive rights extend over all consoles. Although Game Informer was told that the agreement was for multiple years, terms and further details of the deal were not elaborated upon. In other Marvel Video game news, Majesco is planning to put out a Ghost RIder title for PS2 and XBOX and PSP to coinside with the release of the movie starring Nicholas Cage in the summer of '06 Doesn't rule out a PC release of the MMO.

Titosros Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Im getting EverQuest 2 next week woot :cool:. I played the trial version the game is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I also played the trial version of EQ2. It was impressive, but I was quickly bogged down after I left the starter isle. 1. Zones take forever to load, and you travel through them a lot. Also the main cities were very laggy. The lag might be fixed, but there is no reason to even have zone loading. 2. Repetition...combat gets very boring. 3. The quests are often Fedex, uninteresting, and hard to keep straight. Of course, I only played through the quests in Freeport, so maybe after you get through the newbie areas, it gets better. I hope you take to it. Personally I'm waiting until they polish it a bit. The starter island was really misleading for me. It's also supposed to be a more hardcore game than WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
