To be honest I've not a single rant to even start with ...how sucky is that?
Not a single one.
I was really hoping to kick off with a bang such as a lack luster view on how I think mmo's were designed to be. At the very least a kick in the groin to WoW or something...Sad day.
What the proverbial hades though I'll try. Just for you one random reader who meant to click the upcomming games list.
Music in mmo's.
Yes I am going to rant about what seems like a small thing to many. Only one game will be attacked savagely (by savagely I mean with bopper sticks or whatever in a non leathal legal form).
LOTRO. This ones for you.
Battle music. Industry guys...Yeah you. What the hell guys?
Why is battle music always either non existant or in lotro's case horrible...drum beats and...drum rolls...and a horn here and there...Wow...
Lets look at howard shores battle music for lotro (I know this is unfair but hey..yeah) the Urakai had some of the baddest ass music ever heard and their fighting tune was even better . I've long forgotten the tracks, gotta lose some info for the newwest patch notes generic_rpg_online_worlds.
Lets go on back to LOTRO's battle hyms...things....whatever.
Sparse and dull and it really does seem to make combat more blah for me personally.. I understand everyones music tastes are different but guys...
Lets give battle music a place amongst mmo scores sometime, as of right now there have been few mmo's I've played with battle music let alone good.
Of course I usually swap it all out anyhow.
Cheers.
