With more than a decade of highly successful MMORPGs, we have only seen two or three titles that have claimed the spotlight. Have we reached a point of stagnation? Where has all of the innovation gone in the industry? 4Player dives into the issue.
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
More like only Massively beginning.
Planside 2, FireFall, TERA, Guild Wars 2, The Secret World, Black Prophecy are just a few of the MMO's i plan on playing upon release in the next 6 months which is way up from the ZERO i currently play now (I quit playing EVE).
That right there let's you know that change in the MMO format is here as these MMO's are Nothing like WoW.
cause most of them are on a PC, and well... the PC just isnt that much a rockin in the gaming industry, hate to burst ur bubble playa
The Secret World will be something to see, I hope!
Cause the vast majority of gamers stick with what they know.
They play COD to death until the next games in the series comes out..hell even John Carmack said so.
"Its the developers job to keep making stuff that sells, not innovate."
(Not a direct quote, I'm paraphrasing)
Until you start paying and playing different kinds of games, you gonna burn yourselves out.
