Yeah I don't give two craps about my opinion either.  But though I am a no name stroke, at least I saved you the annoyance of having to watch a stupid YouTube video where I talk my nonsense.

Anyway, here is my take, like you give two craps!

Why the hell do develoers get the rights to a video game IP to make a MMORPG based on that videogame, and then totally make a game that is only tangentially based upon that game?

Elder Scrolls, rather sandboxy, a game you can do whatever the hell you want.  So what do these tools do?  They make a theme park game.

Restrictive 3 Alliance PVP, classes, No theft/Assassination, no player housing, EQ1/WoW combat system, can't be a vampire/werewolf, "can't" do many things because they "have" to make the game play like WoW.  Well what the eff was the point of getting theElder Scrolls liscense when you don't want to make an Elder Scrolls game?

Wait I know, what the MMORPG genre has really advanced in in the last 10 years since WoW revolutionalized this aspect of MMORPGs, MARKETING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That is what we are being sold, that is what we have been sold since WoW's Marketing success.

This game is just going to be all hype, just like STOR was, just like WAR was, just like LOTR was, just like every piece of crap MMORPG we have been served since WoW's worthless carcass ruined the Genre with Blizzard's billion dollar marketing budget!  Oh I am sure many fools will buy the box/downlod of the client, and maybe in the first 6 monts ESO will have a million subs?  But after that 6 months?  No more subs Free to play, Pay 2 Play crap that MMORPGs have all become.

Oh ESO will make their money off of rubes who buy into shiny marketing, shiny marketing works.  Worked really well for WoW, brought in new players to the genre who don't even know what EQ1 is.  But will the game last a decade? Will the game last 5 years, 3 years?  I doubt it...

ESO will be a failure to MMORPG fans, but an economic success for how many initial units it sells.  That is the sad thing, the MMORPG genre has become the Single Player Game genre.

There is my nonsense, AKA my take.

Welcome to next week's headline across the gaming community.

Regardless of the state of the recently revealed game or its ability to stand on it's own as an MMO, the development team has departed significantly from the features that characterized previous Elder Scrolls games and has resulted in a backlash from the fan base.

With the leak of some detailed information on game play, many have begun to wonder if the title of Elder Scrolls Online should be replaced with something more fitting a traditional MMO "Based upon the lore of the Elder Scrolls Series".

At a time when most MMO's benifit from exciting announcments, ESO is already being heralded as a falure for lack of vision. This appears to be the most negatively received "reveal" in the history of the modern MMORPG.         
 

...and you're basing that on the responses from the boards on this website?  No surprise there, knowing that many of the lurkers here are devoted to sandbox / action games.  I don't see much if any negativity on other websites in regards to the release, with exception to MMORPG.com as usual.

On the Bethesda forum there has been PLENTY of negative respose.  Sure there are the fanbois, like you probably, but many many people simply saying "This ain't an Elder Scrolls game!"
 

Want to know why?  Because TES is a sandbox game or for the effing zealous sandboxers, a hybrid sandbox...

What a joke.  Anyone who buys a Blizzard game should be shot for supportting the abortion that has destroyed the MMORPG genre and now TES Online.

What a joke, they are not going to make a MMORPG that replicates the TES experience, WHAT THE F--K IS THE POINT OF USING THE TES IP THEN?

(Well I know the point, shameless marketing)

--Screw this, I am going to play Pre-CU SWG....

I have faith this is the WoW Killer: THE MESSAIH IS HERE MY CHILDREN, REPENT YOUR WOWN00B WAYS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!

It seems like the OP is a viral marketeer.  Oh and my trolling of SWG was because THEY SCREWED US CUSTOMERS OVER!

These Reputation fixers are all crap, make a good product and your customers won't complain.

No that witness never said who stated the fight, only who was winning the fight (if the witness is speaking the truth).

I know that city all too well.

•  It's highly segregated.
•  It has a significant crime rate that mostly consists of robbery (a lot of armed robbery). 
• Most of the crime in that area is perpetrated by young, black males.

 

Now consider the following situation:

 

A young, black male in questionable attire who you had never seen before enters your community, which is gated (albeit not actively guarded, like many there are) and behaves suspiciously.

 

Since nearly everybody in that city is armed with a gun, people just don't wander off into gated communities without reason; the only time you'd ever see somebody where they wouldn't be expected to be is if they were committing a crime. Wandering salesmen are nowhere to be found there, not even in the affluent neighborhoods (especially not, since they are usually out of the way, or gated).

 

 

Good samaritan A notices this suspicious person and has reason to believe that his neighbor is going to be robbed by him. Good samaritan A kindly asks this person why he is there, since he doesn't recognize him. This suspicious person refuses to answer him and starts becoming angry/aggressive.

 

The good samaritan who was trying to prevent his neighbor from getting robbed is eventually attacked, since he refuses to let this suspicious person wander around his neighbors apartment/yard.

 

Since he is dwarfed by his assailant, he uses his firearm that he has equipped and kills him.

 

 

Knowing that city and its culture, the above is the most likely scenario.

 

 

You don't take shortcuts to get home through gated neighborhoods in that city.

 

You don't take strolls around gated neighborhoods in that city due to its crime rate and the high percentage of armed people.

 

You don't do any of the aforementioned, unless you're in desperate need of help, or.. you want to commit a crime.. or.. you're severely mentally handicapped. 

 

 

Maybe he was being stupid and really wanted to take a different route home, but if he did, then why did he attack the guy? Since he had attacked first, it pretty much gives away his motive for being there. He thought he had the upper hand on somebody who was a foot shorter than he was and he would have been right had he not been armed.

 

Hopefully, some of you will read through that wall, because it is likely applicable .. and this thread will get closed soon.

 

 

 

So a guy who can't defend himself without shooting someone is "protecting the community?"  OK, more likely he is a POS who was looking to cap someone, well he caapped a little kid.  The guy is scum pure and simple.  If the POS had any honor, he'd put that gun in his mouth and blow out his own brainstem.

Zimmerman is a POS I know cops, my father and brother specifically, who would not shoot a guy armed with a knife (eventhough it is quite legal) and would wrestle the guy instead.  This is what happens when civilians take police powers in their own hands, needless deaths.  Stand Your Ground & Castle Laws are a biunch of crap with regard to the not having to back down from an altercation & the protection of property.  There should only be self-defense laws that state you only use leathal force when threatened with leathal force.  Both of these other types of laws state you can use leathal force in cases where your life is not threatened (there was also a case of a Houston man blowing away an unarmed burglar who was fleeing in cold blood, he got off because of Castle Law).

This guy shot an unarmed kid, this shoot first culture is rather pathetic and cowardly.

Yeah the Japanamation avatar guy loving the cartoony artstyle of Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2

Diablo 1

Diablo 2

Diablo 3

Starcraft 1

Starcraft 2

Less grim and dirty, more happyass Japanime sugar covered crap!  Guess you are another one of the tweens telling old folks about how our games have not changed...

Am I the only one who thought this article sucked.  It was basically Dust comes out this summer and hey we are still working on WoD.  Nothing really indepth that deserved an article really.

MMORPGs are dead, time to move on both Theme Park and Sand Box people.  There is only one real viable MMORPG and that means there is no longer a genre, as it's just one game.

I mean here is the argument of theme park people "Since there is realistically only one MMORPG and it's a theme park MMORPG, more theme park MMORPGs need to be made!!!!"  No, that's been tried for a real long time and has failed, MMORPGs are just dead, it's a fad that is over.

The sand box argument "There is only one MMORPG and all new ones fail because they copy that MMORPG.  Make a sandbox one."  No, no one wants to play MMORPGs, and the World Sim thing died long ago.  People are just getting more and more stupid, from politics (can't discuss how), to religion (can't discuss how), to pop culture (the use of the word "bro" is an excellent example) this is clearly evident..  People just don't have the complex minds we used to have.  Governments, Corporations, and Religous Leaders, have all prefected the art of creating a stupid and easily controlled populace and now have no threats (due to a lack of complex minds in the citizenry) to their power and the abuse of their power.

MMORPGs are over kids, the "next thing" has sucked for a real long time now and that ain't changing.

Too sandboxy!!!!  Causual gamers would rather spend years grinding epic loot than buying it from a crafter!!!!!

We don't, people just don't seem to think MMOs can co-exist. The logic seems to be that the shiny new one will kill all the other ones already on the market. And yet, here we are.

In the corporate world, where people are conditioned use group think and be risk adverse, MMOs cannot coexist, especially when one is extremely successful.  Something has to kill WoW for the genre to move on.

The answer is so the genre can move on.

I have a feeling this is a scam...

DnL, I learned never ever pre-order again and cancelled the credit card I used to pre-order it.

Dunno, but it looks like CCP does want more of its highsec players to try to move into low and nullsec, it you look at the trailers they release like "EVE is real" they probably consider the 0.0 alliance warfare to be the meat of their game.

As you can tell from my playstyle I am a people person, who loves molesting people online basically.  That whole "Let's join together and build an empire" crap does not appeal to me.

Yeah I will probably still reactivate an account to check it out...  from the sound of it, they did not get rid of the BEST parts of Eve.

You sound like someone I want in y StarQuest Online Pirate faction. We are ruthless but still want people to have fun when we attack.

I have heard very little about this MMORPG, might have to look into it.  I like the playstyle I described in my post, it's the best part of Eve when I played....

Can you still con people in Eve, for example sell +1 implants as if they were +5 and rip people off of isk that way?

Can you still commit corp theft, robbing billions of isk from the corps you join?

Can you still suicide gank people in high sec?

Can you still steal from ore cans in high sec?

Now the most important thing, besides Alliance related BS in 0.0, what major things are there to do in Eve?  The Dust thing is interesting me as a PS3 owner and besides the Dev corruption, Eve is an excellent game, when you don't feel like you are playng a spread sheet or role playing a zergling...

So I want to know did they neuter Eve and did they just focus all of their development on pleasing a bunch of alliance metagamers?
