Age of Conan

I think a lot of the heavy flamers are old Vanguard players, thirsty for revenge after "their" game was shot down like a drunken blimp in every forum on the net. Its not a good game but... some of the flames are just illogical, and sounds like exact copies of the problems Vanguard had in late beta and release.  Especially the ones talking about "bland graphics"...

And I am amazed by the ones that hate Funcom for "Hyping their game". Man, they have a marketing division that spin some heavy marketing campaigns and telling people its a good game.. like some advertisment or something.. BASTARDS!

You gotta learn.. Don't believe the hype. Never believe the hype. You must have bought enough movie games to know that by now. Or you are age 12.

However, the rest of us would like the fries and shake that were supposed to be part of the meal we ordered. Therefore, we will bitch.

They need to discount the fees:

Crappy customer service:  -  $2.00

No bar fights: - $1.00

No blood money - $1.00

No dx10 - $2.00

Etc., etc., etc.

Keep going until the price reflects the features left out. If they did that, they'd be selling the box for $20.00 and charging around $5.00/monthly. Then it might be worth it.

We have ordered fries and shake too with our burger meal, could only get the burger. We called the manager, and he said they are still cooking the fries and preparing the shake. They will deliver those when it is ready. They also apologized for any inconvenience for this.

We started eating our burgers, because we want to consume them when it's hot. However there is a problem. There is a fly in our burgers, which is very disgusting. Yes sir, that fly is YOU, and it's not the restaurant's fault.

p.s: Seriously, have you lately visited a fast food restaurant or semi-fast food restaurant? Do you get the exact same hamburger they advertise on the billboards? Did you ever have to wait in the drive-through because their credit card systems are not working or simply a fat kid is ordering 12 Big Macs for himself and his friends?

MMOs are in entertainment business. And it's the cheapest entertainment you can ever get in this world (the other option is TV, where you get crappy shows or series with advertisements every 5 minutes). You usually pay about $15 a month, and spend a minimum of 10-15 hours per week. There are hundreds of thousands expecting the same service.

However, you can try the luxury if you want a much better, even customized service. You can rent a limo with a driver, pick up 2 beautiful ladies on the road, spend a night (6-8 hours) on Ritz Carlton hotels. That's also an entertainment, but it's luxury. Then you have the right to whine and bitch if the service gets fucked up (which probably would not get fucked up unless your d*ck size is the same as a rat's d*ck size).

After I've had credit card problem in the drive-thru of a McDonalds restaurant, I have sent the McDonalds headquarters a mail. The response was a copy-paste apologize and nothing else, and I continue to visit those restaurants. I hope you get the idea.

Actually, fanbois are a LOT more like flies. They enjoy whatever they can fly on.... and never complain.

Because this means one of several things:

1. You really, truly, do not like the game for some reason only you are privileged to. To me this is odd because there are so many other games out there - mmo, pc or console based - that suck even worse than AoC. You feel a need to let the world know why this game is bad, and you do just that by flaming everyone related to it.

2. AoC is surprisingly good and is a real threat to your favorite game - may it be WoW, LoTRO, Everquest, GW or what ever - so you feel forced to try and push it down into the ground. You need for people not to like AoC so they can continue playing your favorite instead.

3. You simply do not care about the game one way or another but you love to indulge yourself in the spirit of forum posting. You love hacking down on games just to create a reaction.

Maybe there are more, sure there are, but i might be close to one of which that you represent am i not? Ladies and gentlemen, start you flaming!!

Primarily I wanna vent for paying for this overhyped POS some people claim to have a blast playing it. I also want to prevent other people paying for the garbAge/lowering their standards etc. I'm sure there are games shittier than AOC, but i haven't played/payed for any of them.

Dear Sir,

I have never been a fanboy nor hater of any game. In the last 6 months I have played AoC, PotBS, Fury and LOTRO. I will play an MMO whenever I want, and I will stop playing it whenever I don't have fun.

The idea of fanboism and trash talking about a game is immature and blatantly stupid.

You can not expect anything more from a service where you get entertainment of 20-30 hours a week for $15 or you can expect, but no one cares. I am old and smart enough to realize this simple fact, which apparently you aren't.

^ Sir i must say I agree. Even though  AOC is not as bad as many ppl put it. It still falls short, very short of what we were led to excpect. We didnt get what we were promised. This game will probably be good after one expansion and a couple or balances patches / glitch purges.

But for now its just a beta version, if the fanboys like it let em play it. But no need to start a new thread everyday to ask for your momma's 50$. If you buy something you never tried, your taking a risk. If you dont like takign risks, grab your cookie cutter and go play wow.

Exactly.

Life is about taking risks. The higher $$s you put on a service, the higher expectations you might have. $15 a month for tens of hours of entertainment is very very cheap, even cheaper than having a food in McDonalds.

Therefore you can not expect the highest quality with your mom's 15$, nor you can expect a finished product from an entertainment type where you know it will be patched every week :)

I think some people do miss the point of the food analogy,  this is a simple as:

I go into the supermarket to buy a bottle of Chocolate Milk Shake, i got into the section that has them pick one up, it  says on the box "<insert bran name> chocolate milk shake" , i pick it up go to checkout point buy it, step outside open it up and there is only milk inside. This situation is an obvious scam a person with half a brain can pick this one up.

Now picking up from your example, i go inside the supermarket and say that it wasnt the milkshake i bought but just milk, and the supermarket manager tells me "drink the milk now, we will give you the chocolate over the next year" do you see the problem here. I do not want milk and then chocolate i want the chocolate milkshake i paid for, which was obviously not there.
