Age of Conan

I'm wondering if there are some people out there who are lowering the hype on purpose because from what I can tell, this game has a lot of hype beind it so 7.4 actually looks a little weak... could just be me though...

Depend If I told you im playing the beta and putting a 7.0 to it. What you taugh ? * you will answer me " Its still on beta "? k than hope to you hype it like they do with lord of the ring...

all the hype ratings of the big name mmo's that are about to be released are all fairly close so i feel its pretty accurate.

7.4 doesnt seem ok or not ok to me, it doesnt really matter, hype ratings will follow voter trends like so many 10s so many 1s and a few legit ones inbetween. Now if you have a 9.5 with 5,000 votes and everything else is 7.3 and below, then either that game is something special or the voter trend changed for this one game on this one website, but other than that all of the hypes should be roughly the same and within a fairly close range of eachother, if the top was 5.0 then most likely the top 10 games would be from 4.5 to 5.0. now if the OP asked whether or not AoC being on top of the hype list was right or not, then i would say with the other games on the list, that AoC does indeed seem right to be on top and being ontop by .1 actually fits quite a lot more when you compare the other games competing with release dates

yeah it should definately be in the 8s, atleast... its all the WoW lovers that cant handle an actually fun MMO is coming out.  and the people who see the word conan and think "cheesy"

i dont see how its to possible to watch the videos and read up on the game and not be excited about it (for those in the MMO world that is), it has everything the top MMOs have + changing what people hate about those MMOs +  new kickass stuff + naked harpies

but yea... AOC is gonna be absolutely amazing, already got the collectors edition pre-ordered

Personally, I'd like to see the hype lower, and then have everyone pleasantly surprised rather than just meeting expectations.

Yeah, but its being made by a company with a record of sometimes missing the mark at release. Also, its Mature rating is a both a blessing and a curse.  Finally, its trying some new things, and people rarely embrace new quickly.

Hype is just a rating of how many people are looking forward to playing it, and since its right at the top, I'd say they've got nothing to worry about. 

i give it a 23.6 out of 10. i love what i am hearing about this game (add me to the beta plz:) i think this is going to be the next WOW without the sucking

Not really...i game it a low 7ish score. While the graphics are nice, and the combat seems different....i have alot of concerns with performance and gameplay, none of which has been answered or shown by Funcom. Also, lag and packet loss, hence why we never see pvp with more than 4 per side. Have we even seen a non npc/scripted seige? Crafting is also a big negative for me....over simplified. So while yes there are some good things, there are also some bad things. Also the company's past history and non NDA removal till release also have me concerned
