It's really tough knowing that the game you've wasted 8 years following is really nothing more than a big steaming pile of horse shit waiting to fail.. isn't it Focker?

But don't worry. When 2008 comes and goes.. I promise not to laugh too hard when you're still playing Forumfall trying to convince everyone of how awesome darkfall is.     

Not sure if you realise it yourself, but you trying to convince poeple harder that it will fail then I have seen anyone trying to convince us that the game is gonna rock. Only time will tell really,no-one can really know.

SLI, I prefer to play an MMO with just a couple of poeple, then to be an unknown face in the masses in clones like WAR.

then why bother to post here?  obviously u are a loner so stay away from the forums.

 

 

This is where you are wrong. There is more cooperation in game with smaller comunities and poeple have to rely more on there poeples skills then in games like world of warcraft where the comunity is big and ones action do not have an effect on the comunity of his or her reputation as much. The bigger an comunity, the more solo players there will be.  

Beside that fact that an individual, or what you refer to as an loner, has an right to an opinion and therefor the right to post on these forums.

Based purely on the number of hits this website has had, the amount of interested shown to MMORPGS are..

#1 Lord of The Rings Online
#2 Warhammer Online
#3 Age of Conan
#4 World of Warcraft
#5 Vanguard Saga of Heroes
#6 Everquest II
#7 Tabula Rasa
#8 EVE Online
#9 Pirates of The Burning Sea
#10 Gods and Heroes

PoTBS is not an fantasy game. So that would only be 6 of the 10. With is actualy not a lot considering 90% of the MMO's out there are fantasy themed. The SCI-FI genre will get on big boost becouse of hopefully the release of Fallen Earth at the end of 2008 (closed beta early in the year, open beta around may...hopefully). That is kinda all I can think of with might be released with an sci-fi theme.

EDIT: Jump Gate might be released, but dunno about Huxley (with I do not really anticipate that much) and STO.

WoW....simply becouse it has had so many year to polish itself.

I think you are missing the point, which is fairly simple.

 

Developing game for PC or Console cost same ammount of money (if not more for PC)

Console games make 10 times more profit than PC games

Are you going to develop for PC or Console ?

I do understand the point (not sure if it was dirrected to me). I know that developing game for PC or console cost the same. However what I meant is that BOTH are overpriced. The difference is that it just easier to download an game illigal on the PC compared to on an console.  That is defintly one of the reasons PC game sales droped compared to Consoles.

Why the same titel of an game is selling to much better is beyond me. Most likely becouse of the PC lacking in a lot of points compared to the console. Just look at DX10....you can have it only when you have Vista....really it is not worth it for me.

I really do not hope that most game will be released on console becouse I am not really an console fan ;)

Maybe the PC game devs should simply make an decent game with can run on mediocore machines. Instead of crappy game with run on all PC game or good games with only run good on high-end PC games. Also the prices of PC game are just high at the moment and level with Console game. They where cheaper a year or 2 back.

Also piracy is an bigger problem as internet gets faster and pirated software gets easier to acces. The biggest part of the gamers are poeple in the age of 15-25. Most of them do not work of work part time and simply do not have the money to pay 60 Euro for an good game. Downloading is then is faster and cheaper. 

Games are an matter of taste. If you want to make an top 10 then you make an "The majority is right" list. The game with most subs is the best. I know a lot of poeple disagree, but WoW is the best out there. It has most subs, so clearly it has done something better then the other MMOs out there. Whatever it is marketing, gameplay, price or just all of these.

Personly I strongly dislike WoW and it would not even appear in my top 5. I am more an person who like game where player interaction is importend.

1. Face of Mankind. 
2. Wish (duo to the "live story telling team" it made it fun and importend to work together).
3. Planetside.
4. PoTBS. 
5. Fallen Earth (just becouse no MMO released at this time is good enough to be in my "top" list)

All right here we go.

World of Warcraft development cost: 80.000.000$

World of Warcraft marketing cost: 40.000.000$

That is almost four times more than Vanguard development + marketing cost which was around 35.000.000$. Whoever was claiming about the big Vanguard adv before-release (and there were so many of them who did), note that only the WoW marketing cost was bigger than Vanguard complete development.

So....Vangaurd costed less money. Your point?

I played the game Face of Mankind and I liked that game becouse of the player interaction. It was an small comunity with made it easier to become well known and actualy mean something in the game (I have been the source of an war or 2 in that game....woeps :P ).

I was at an moment high ranked in that game and I was next to an guy who got killed (he dropped an lootpack) and the lootpack got taken by someone else. However they accused me. Started to annoy me and miss prenounced my name on purpose. I was walking away on leaving the area till one guy decided to shoot me.

Offcouse I called in "my man" to ensure it would not escalate. It did however and there was an fight in the middle of the market area and an war started. This is an exemple on just showing how one small event (guy getting killed by an random ganker) can escalate into an full out war. That is what I liked in this game and made it for me addictive.

Working with other players just adds an random effect no NPC can make.

I personly dislike LoTRO...but even I can not deny that the gfx especialy with DX10 are just awsome and one of the best out there at this moment.

Who cares?

The current game will still be there (maybe SWG will disapear). However they aint buying SoE so can remove all games and start all over. Niether will they buy and western company just to spam Asian style MMO's they could just start new divisions for all that (hell for 300mill you can finiance a couple of new division in India....even in the USA)

I highly suggest taking an look at Fallen-Earth. Especialy poeple who liked pre-CU SWG. Never played that myself, but hearing poeple talk about it, it sounds  a lot what FE supposed to become. It seems to be having an great and huge storyline, fighting is largly based on player skills.

Wow...at page three I actualy got annoyed...not at the OP, but becouse of all the time poeple kept saying it aint blizzards fault. You do realise that the admins are just poeple and they might just make mistakes aswell. Just becouse someone works for blizzard doesnt make them flawless. 

Entering towns was not even intended to be in the game at all so I really do not see the problem with them not being huge. The game is fun, but nothing special. I would however not say the it is like Voyage centry. Hard to explain, but it simply feels differand. 

I would keep an eye on Fallen Earth. I am not entirly sure how stealth is gonna work in that game, but I do know it requeres more then pressing an stealth button. You actualy have to sneak. Also not sure if you turn invisiable. I though you would not become invisiable, but poeple can not hear your footsteps when walking slow and such.

There are shamefully not a lot of PvP game, without grinding. However EVE seems to be an good PvP game. DAoC has some good reviews. Planet Side, with also has an decent stealth system. Thats about it.

Games with seems to have good PvP element are WAR, Fallen Earth and POTBS all seems to have "grind" in there game. However with WAR and Fallen Earth you can PvP most of the time and gain your exp in PvP zones.

very major scandal....an admin made an adminstrative mistake....that never happend before. I just think a lot of poeple simply want to take errors from sony out of context. I am sure if blizared or NCsoft made an simular mistake it would not even be on these forums.

I myself may not buy it because of recent things happening in their section of the forum here, in particular a person breaking the NDA to say something really bad, which was promptly deleted (just the more to cover it up).

WAR will most likely have an more immature comunity. Becouse of how it seems to look like World Of Warcraft and it seems to be "easier" to play.

Personly I will give both games an try. I think both will have there charms, but WAR will most likely not keep me occupied for a long time and I be getting bored of that game in a couple of days. Not sure if that is treu in  Conan.
