I think APB just took that title.

 

I don't follow this game, and it's not out yet. Regardless, I did add "IMO"!

 

No need to get angry, I don't follow APB either, but I did see the thread on it here and here's the character creation video if you'd like to see it - www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/insane-apb-character-customization/319854

 

Aion also 'is not out yet' according to many posters depending on what point is trying to be made, I read conflicting 'it's released China / Korea' and 'it's still in beta'. Quite convenient really.

Actually, It's not conflicting at all. It's a kind of Beta preview for NA/EU, and it's released China / Korea.

Amazing character creation video btw.

He probably doesn't realise that it's the BEST graphics/performance ratio out there at the moment. You can have huge numbers on the screen without a hitch while having everything cranked up. You can play the game on very old PCs, and it still looks very good.

 

I guess Mr. solareus prefers having AoC graphics and limiting numbers to 48vs48, but setting everything to low until it frankly, looks like !@#$.

Or maybe NCsoft had to take a leaf out of Mythic's book, we all know the endgame sieges in WAR are brilliant performance wise. /sarcasm.

 

Fact is, the landscapes look good enough, character models look amazing with the best character creation system IMO, and the game handles numbers on the screen extremely well.

 

Ah well, It's not like I'm going to convince a troll anyway.

first you are saying that the graphics are excellent .than you are saying that you can even play the game on old pcs.you look to me as a troll yourself.how have you experienced both things at the same time???

No offense, but can you read? Sorry just pointing out the obvious .... =) He's stating that you can have an old PC and the game looks beautiful. How you missed that is beyond me, but it was easy to point out. Other than that, you can continue with calling him a troll, if that's the type of creature you enjoy.

99% of the reviews I've read here are trash.     By that I mean, these testers have not played the game to a point to even formulate an opinion that is worthy of a person drawing any conclusion at all.      My opinion of AION has changed dramatically as I have progressed, now only level 9 Scout, and loving it.    At level 4, I was hardly loving it.

So to those not in beta that are looking for some insight in to this game, take most of these negative reviews with a huge grain of salt.    They are mostly provided by kids with an attention span of  zero.

With 60-days remaining until release, I am sure there will be more in-depth reviews for you to read, and above all, I suggest you pre-order the game and get access to a beta key so you can try it for yourself prior to launch.    You can always cancel the order if dissapointed, but whatever you do, don't feed these trolls.

Honestly, I resent your comment because I have not only played Aion during the US/EU beta but also on the Chinese live client.

Since the current US/EU client is the same as the Chinese client, except for the language, I can pretty safely formulate an opinion about this game.

This game is WoW with anime characters. I'm not even talking about cool anime characters like in Samurai Champloo. I'm talkinf about flamboyant, silly hair, characters.

As for the actual game play, it's WoW without the smooth combat an it feels like any other asian F2P grinder.

Considering Wow being one of the most polished games I see this as a good point.

And as I left wow at level 25 because of the "disneyland" art direction, this is all good for me.

Anime is not the issue as I also put Perfect World in the "disneyland" category.

If by non-anime you are thinking about games like EQ2 or Vanguard with their "barbie doll" look and animations (what the hell is that jumping animation? lol), this is good for me again because I didn't like those. AoC looks good though.

I prefer the "NCSoft" design type (Lineage 2, GW, etc...). Aion might look a little more "anime" (really?), but I like it.

Yes, to me the combat also seemed a little clunky at first, but once you get your profession and level up with the new stats and the skills it's a different story. And it only gets better :)

Good! I can't stand the slow and boring combat in most of the western mmos (AoC is a fortunate exception).

As for the other part of the feeling, Aion has so much world life, decent lore, cut-scene movies,... that it doesn't feel like a f2p grinder to me.

Well, if you couldn't stand the slow and boring combat in most western MMOs, I'm sure that you'll have a great time of pressing "," and waiting for regen after every second fight.

" ," is quickbar for sit down and rest right? dont think you need to rest for the flight time to regen.

What? An experienced mmorpg player talking about "Waiting for regen after every second fight"? 

/facepalm

No, I don't need to wait for regen. Thanks to the standard mmorpgs tools I have at hand (support classes, buffs, power shards, pots,...) I can push through mobs in no time.

Good discussion though.

Cheers.

I guess if someone wants to play it like a WoW clone, that's what he gets.

I actually feel sort of sorry for you... Just because you think the game feels bad in your eyes does not mean it is. The fact you are actually complaining about MMO's in general instead of AION shows how hateful you are towards the genre in general.

Next time you try out a mmorpg, at least try and go in with an open mind instead of trying to play it like you are a rogue or something in WoW.

"Conflicting" was a poor choice of word and in fact there's no need for it to be in that sentence at all and for that I apologize.

Edit it out, read it again and that's what I wanted to say. :)

Oh and yeah, that APB character creation knocks the socks off anything I've seen in any other MMO released or not.

I'm voicing my opinion. Never once have I said that people shouldn't play this game. On the contrary, if you check my previous posts, I actually list the things I enjoy about Aion.

As for the rest of what you've said. You may be right. Simply because most MMO's are the same. The play the same and feel the same. And this one is no different. Yes, I may be hateful towards most MMO's because the only real inovation we've had was Planetside and EVE Online.

We get the same hyped clones every year. WoW, AoC, WAR, Aion, just to name a few. Under all of the fluff, they are all the same games.

Heartless,

Is there any MMO you actually are a fan of and playing currently, and if so, which one and why ?   I've tried to find a postive post about a MMO in your post history but gave up after 8 pages.
