This isn't like other mmos where you remake a character to play each job. You have one character that can change their class whenever they want the only reason to have more than one character is for storage or wanting to play a different race.
They look pretty, everything else tho is usually bad.
The original game was poorly designed, it was hard to buy and sell items to other players. The UI was laggy making simple inventory management a nightmare. The area maps were copy/paste blocks that you'd expect from an amateur with a stock map editor. The combat was uninspired and the battle animations looked lame, seriously go check out the originals ancient magic. Spells like flood looked more like drip.
Now what ARR has done is nothing real special. It has kept al...
It's a mixed bag in games like these. Nobody wants to wait hours to find a party for a dungeon, but at the same time you'll never see the people you play with again. Community is what MMOs thrive on, if you are constantly grouping with randoms from other servers you won't find as many friends on your server.
When devs combine this with making a string of solo quests the primary means of xp they often fall into the trappings of the modern day mmo. The games don&...
I remember old school fighting games like this. They always had PvP, you just pretended like that wasn't what you intended when you smacked your coop buddy with that big old trash can.
You needed unlimited continues because 30mins into the game you were both passively trying to screw over the other player and hit them with things when their backs were turned.
Good times.
I imagine they had a big meeting where they discussed how to make the gameplay and it went like this.
One person said to make it like WoW
One Person said to make it like Tera
One person said to make it like Rift
And one person said to make it like Everquest
Then one guy said
Why don't we just make it like an elder's scroll game
and he got fired.
You have to be patient. It's hard to find a replacement because they're always fighting. And even if you find someone promising he still has to become strong enough to slay his master. Only then can he become a true sith lord and take over leadership of EA. I mean seriously he has to fight Darth Kotick it's gotta be someone truly evil.
I can never get into these F2P games that want you to pay money for races and classes. Starting out I don't even know what I want to play and they're already limiting my choices. I just uninstalled it the moment I saw that and it's not the only time I've done that in a game like this.
Demon's Souls
Pandora's Tower
Xenoblade Chronicles
Every game that was ever censored or banned in Australia
Niche Games
Imagine if niche games like tales or other jrpgs could just add subtitles to their game and let you import them. What is the benefit of keeping the region lock in place outside of being able to screw over Australians.
This game launched with a founder system that provided in game currency, a currency that per person is on a daily timer of like 24,000 a day. If you bought into their little program you got like 600,000 or 2,000,000. This resulted in the auction house being so expensive that new players couldn't buy anything without paying money or getting to endgame and selling things to founders. To read a review that says it wasn't p2w makes me laugh.

As a PR guy you knew he was moving on after what the internet did to him at e3. I'm sure I wasn't the only one wondering how long it'd take for his paperwork to go through.
When my desktop learns to transform into a tablet I'll consider getting windows 8.
Shall we place bets in regards to how long it takes for the kinect to get hacked? In reality you might as well make it PC compatible because they're not going to stop the type of person who wants to develop kinect applications for PC.
Why hasn't anyone patented going from 3rd person view to first person view on the fly yet?
@DragonKnight
I find it hard to think of any game with an OST that comes even remotely close to being as awesome as the Nier OST.
Dragon Age has never been known for its graphical quality. But, Witcher 2 was largely regarded as one of the best looking PC games for a period of time. That said graphics has never been the selling point of a Bioware game and if they fix everything that was wrong with DA2 then this one might be worth a look.
I'll be waiting to hear if it reuses dungeons, has equipment management for all party members, and if the narrative is exceedingly polarized with mage/templar deci...
Can't help but wonder if they just import all their stuff. I mean with the prices why would you bother buying games locally.
It's a pretty bad list in general.
Hell it's almost worth 12.99/mo to limit the amount of RMT in the game. Why do F2P games even bother having a global or general chat.
Just like the wii-u controller, kinect costs money. As a result you're either going to get cheaper hardware or pay the cost directly at retail. The benefit is that every single game can count on users having these peripherals and their integration is much more likely.
The question is, do users really want to pay 100$ extra for kinect. It's a product that is already out in the market and while selling incredibly well on the 360 it doesn't hold that magic and m...
