If anybody has an interest in this game, go check out the opinions of the players who dealt with him as a developer over on the City of Heroes forums. He's pretty universally hated by everyone who had to cope with his decisions. Don't take my word for it, check yourself. Personally, I'll never buy another game with his name attached to it, and I'll drop any game that he gets a dev job at like a hot rock, but that's just my experiance. PS. Benzetta, was the guy putting his comb away at 5:50 all that much real fun? |

Will Jack Emmert screw the pooch? Arguably again?
General Discussion « Champions Online 6/05/08 7:20:25 AM
I'll never play a game involving Jack Emmert again. After playing CoX with him, and playing it without him, the difference is tremendous. If he's involved, it's a guaranteed piece of garbage. It might not be originally, but the more interaction he has with a game, the worse it will become, especially over the life of the game.
To anyone looking to play this, I strongly urge you to reconsider. Disregard this warning if you like, but I promise you, he's going to do whatever he wants regardless of how it benefits the game or the players. He is very much the "my vision > your fun" type of developer. |

Your arguement is rather silly, Guatam. You like the game because it's not that great? You want to play it because the grind is so tedious that you can't force yourself to play more than one hour per day? That's something you want to actually spend money on? Let's be serious for a moment. I think we can all agree that RF Online has a severe grind incorporated into it. The characters are in large part, cookie cutters of each other. One summoner is the same as the next, though there are some differences in gear (gear comes, gear goes, gear gets ebayed, meh). Gear is obtained through more repetitive grinding. Let's not even discuss how troublesome it is when someone sets up a farming bot on the quest mobs that you need to kill, and proceeds to kill-steal you for as long as you care to attempt to clear your quest? The chip wars are the big pvp draw that this game features. However, the pvp is so heavily weighted towards levels, a person with a mere 5 level difference is virtually undefeatable! How much skill is involved when, regardless of tactics or trickery, you simply cannot hurt the other guy, and he hits you like a bank vault dropped on your head? Level 25 and up can hit the chip, right on, the minimum level to pvp isn't too excessive...right? Wrong. What that doesn't tell you is that, at level 25, you're going to have the pleasure of being one-shotted by most of the other people fighting against you. No big penalty, right? Just run on back, and beat that chip down...er, wait, one shotted again on the way to the chip. Bummer. ------------------ All in all, RF Online is undoubtedly the worst game of any type I have ever played. If there is a hell, being forced to play this game for 8 hours a day is it. |
