I am starting this thread to find out if I am the only one that is begining to feel ashamed with how MMO's are being developed. I am tired of MMO's were all you do is press buttons to do combat, leveling up and quests. For example Dragon Ball Online, it was a button smashing game and yet now real battling. What would be so hard with developing a game like console games. I want a fighting game where you can block and counter not just press buttons to do moves. The WOW era is dead but yet game companys keep creating games that are just like it. Were is a game like the ninja gaiden games or Naruto games for console. I want a game that is action pack, not one were they say theres action but yet it just pushing 1-0 on the keyboard to do moves. I have an idea for the perfect Naruto mmo but yet no game company will even consider making it because it is qoute "Not whats in right now". If anyone knows of a game company looking for a great fighting mmo idea please post links or emails below.

This is probably going to end up in me being involved in the same discussion/arguement in two different places but here goes. Have you played Tera? or I hear Vindictus also has action combat but I haven't played it.

Tera is very much like WoW but with action combat and I cannot comment on Vindictus.

I have tried Vindictus and was even more ashamed with it then games like Zone4 and Splash Fighters. I havent played Tera only because I will not pay for a game unless I get a free trial. Even then I doubt I will pay monthly server time to play any game, I would rather just play my Naruto games on my Wii. I want a game based solely on fighting were you have to do combos to do moves or have built up energy to do the move. Not these button mashing games. I have played hundreds of MMO's and have never found one I even deem worthy to continue playing let alone pay for it. I want a MMO like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Naruto Revelution, or DBZ Budokai. I would even settle for seperate combat, just make it to were I can create a personal fighter and fight people, but NOT LIKE POKIE NINJA, that game is WHACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could try Mortal Online. www.mortalonline.com

All first person, Combat is mainly with the mouse.

Its the complete opposite of a facerolling themepark. Make sure you put on your sportsbra before playing though.

Been playing myself for 2 years about. The game keeps improving.

Looks like this genre is not for you. MMORPGs do not have big history on revolving around action combat like in naruto games you so desire to play. The only things failing horribly here is your expectations for what MMORPGs should be. Sure many new ones are evolving a little bit, but no one said that WoW era is dead. You do know what happens to MMOs that stray too far from the norm right?

 So why do you haunt a site dedicated specifically to mmorpg's?

I am looking for a fighting game like console games not first person, thats only good for shooters, also I stated I wont pay server time for a game.

Because I am looking for a good fighting mmo, DUH!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh that clears it up, but are you willing to "pay server time to play"

Mmorpg stands for massively multiplayer online roll playing game, you need an mmofps site.

I think the closest thing around here is Planetside 2, but it's still in developement and it will have a subscription fee.

If it is wat I am looking for it I would consider it but it would have to exactly like console fighting games, dont even have to be 3d

Well it would be an RPG because you would get to personalize you character and moves.

Might run into the same problem but the new street fighter v tekken game has some very limited customisation in regards to changing the colours of costumes but also in choosing "gems" to give perks to your fighters. It also has a fairly extensive online ranking systems and such.

That said it definitely isn't a MMO or even a RPG.

He doesn't want to play a game with a sub. Might still be able to trial darkfall though I suppose. Is Darkfall running trials still? Personally I  wouldn't recommend darkfall to someone looking for good combat though but that is just my own taste I suppose.

I just wished someone would take my idea for a naruto MMORPG and make it a reality. I dont have the time or money to develop the whole game alone. I dont even want to work on it either I just want to play it.

I would work on it if the developer wanted me to, I just dont care if I work on it.

I think a large part of the problem with mmorpgs is that people dont realize that they are RPG's and dont realize they dislike RPGs.

At least this guy gets it, rather than complaining that the mmorpg industry is dead/fails/ect

I think there is a big future in making non RPG games with the open world enviroment and character customization...given how many people who play these games dont want anything to do with progression and "grind" that is the foundation of RPGs.

May i suggest Global Agenda?  If you like Thrid person shooters, its got an open world starter area, then instanced PVE group work/death matches/ guild territory combat/ and a few fun "games" where one player in the PVE instance is a double agent and another where it pits 2 players on the side of the mobs in a pve instance vs the player group.

not exactly a fighting game though but definately has a low RPG factor to it...kind of at least.

What I like is when progression is semi-transparent in gameplay.

For example today's achievement was traveling from town 3 to town 4 and I had to fight my way through an old catacomb to get there.  ... and in the process I went up 2 levels, but that wasn't the reason I went.

For me that's much better gameplay than "I went out into the woods an killed 487 boars".
