Hell, this is the game I thought Daggerdale was going to be: a PC game that brought the table-top D&D experience into the virtual space. The ability to experience an amazing story with other people is the main draw of gaming. If you don’t believe that, go run an end-game raid in WoW on a Vent server with a bunch of your buddies. It’s an amazing time.
And with this release, D&D’s two weaknesses: cost of entry and finding other people to play with, are gone in an instant."
Cryptic Studios announced with a press release that more of its veteran developers have returned to the studio following tenures elsewhere.
The MMO studio says it’s “unifying legacy expertise with fresh perspectives”
Kelly Bianucci will report to Atari chairman and CEO Wade Rosen in new company role.
Now I would say its a bit to early to be setting lofty expectations like this one, I can say I'm just as excited and hopeful as the author that this will be the ultimate D&D experience. I can't wait to see it in action.
We can only hope...two things have me worried though. Cryptic (obviously) and the fact that it's wayyyy too bright and cartoony. Here's hoping it'll play right, cause if it's another auto-target, auto-attack fest like every other outdated MMO, it will fail big time.
