    As long as everyone is making money, people get to keep their jobs. When something goes poorly, they sack it and everyone along with it. 

    Last I heard, Sony stock was solid.  

    
    100% Truth right there. No ammount of gamer idealism will ever change this.

• • WOW, this game is awesome.

  • I'd wager since SWG is still running and has a dev team Vanguard will be around for a while too and probably continue to get new content.

  • Ah bloom; you can turn the meagerness tatterdemalian rogue into a lavish prince! Honestly that first shot looked super sexy! I like the softened edges on the furnature, gives it a more earthy/inviting feel. Not sure if the lighting from the hearth is real-time or baked, but looks good.

• • Great game but it just doesnt appeal to me

  • I think we can all agree that if you analyze any MMO you'll find gaps, flaws, bugs, and inconsistancies galore. Making giant worlds on a budget and deadline means corners will be cut. Sometimes they won't be immediatly obvious but every little shortcut will in time become visable as players run by the same locations over and over again during their years of play.

    Initally I believe the posts to this thread were trying to explain what it was about the game that didn't appeal to them, or turned them off to the game. I tried myself to articulate why I couldn't get engrossed in the game, and of course there are those stalwart defenders who will take every opertunity to tout their favorite game of the moment. It happens in every game forum.

    But reading over this thread I feel the topic has wandered into looking for flaws to justify why you didn't like the game. But it boils down to this, no game will be all things to all people. Even WoW with it's mass appeal dosn't appeal to everyone. A good majority of people yes, and for that they are a smashing success and will be remembered in the annals of history as one of the milestones.

    Either by getting bored, not finding the same level of immursion as a childhood adventure, or craving something a bit less high fantasy, there will always be reasons some people are not turned on by one game or another. I believe we can all agree that some folks just don't like chocolate ice cream no matter how much the next person tries to convince them chocolate is the greatest flavor ever. :)
