You expected a mediocre game, and you admittedly got one. Why are you surprised other people are not in awe of it, or they simply felt the game wasn't as promised? Some people expect more than combat and exploration out of a game that has a required 15 dollar a month price tag. Heck, you can do that in D&L.
The "trolls" get it. You fanbois don't. I am very happy you are easily amused, but some of us aren't.
I am no fanboi and if you read my post history, you would notice that I am as hard on AOC as many "trolls" but, unlike many of them, I have a fair and open mind. I do not expect perfection as many of them do. I did expect more out of the game, I just figured that all of things I did expect would be encompassed by the term "fun". I am not going to waste my time detailing my expectations here.
Is $15 that much? Really? What do you get for $15? Well it bought me a quarter of a steak last night. I got 2 movie tickets for $16 dollars today. I bought three books today that were about $15 each. I have 3 small bags of jelly-Belly's on my desk that were close to $15 total.
$15 a month breaks down to a little less than 50 cents a day. Well damn then - I will skip that Snickers bar tomorrow during my break. $15 doesn't go far anymore and I really do not have that many expectations for anything $15 can get you anymore.
Yes, the game is mediocre. I think WOW and LOTRO and TR and EQ2 are mediocre. Do I think they are worth $15? Nope, not anymore because I am bored with them and they are no longer fun for me. Is Age of Conan worth $15 to me? Sure is because, even in its current state, I find it fun and interesting. Perfect, no. Fun, yes.
And the trolls here "get" nothing beyond their own twisted view of the game. All they desire is the perfect game and they will continually be disappointed. I can't wait for the complaints and comments as to how imperfect WAR, Aion, TCOS and Darkfall will be. They will be disappointed again because those games will launch in a state equal to Age of Conan.
Woah, can t speak for Aion , TCOS, or darkfall, but i can tell you from abeta testers point of view. War is in a better state to release then AOC is now or probably 2-3 months from now. Also on the $15 a month, i agree it s not much, but to pay for IMO an incomplete game is wrong. Would you go to the movies if you could watch half of it now and the rest in a few months? Or would you eat a half eaten steak? I know i wouldn t.
