• • A Founders Review of DDO

    My problem with this game is twofold:

    1.  DDO is not in any way shape or form D&D.  I was expecting something more akin to Neverwinter Nights, but instead got...this.

    2.  Same game play as Guild Wars, but with a monthly fee.  This alone is epic fail.

    
     

    Meh different strokes for different folks but please eloborate on what exactly is not any way shape or form D&D please.

     

    And personally the GW community was epic fail for me....... probablly one of the worst I have experienced.

    I don't know what YOUR definition of Hardcore is with MMORPG, i must say that the HARDCORE i read people use on forums like this is in my view  far from being hardcore in a MMORPG, as most people somehow think that grinding to cap lvl asap is hardcore?, also people seem to believe the more time someone spends a day in a game the more hardcore he or she is. We even have people who THINK that being a pvp player means hardcore, where hardcore with a MMORPG has a complete different meaning then i see being used which is more single player type of hardcore of regular FPS type of hardcore.

    Hardcore in MMORPG is something that mostly the niche in this genre are able to play, meaning people who might devote themselfs into the games economy, people who make guides and overall are helpfull towards the ingame community, people that truly know the ins and outs of the game(world) People that show respect even in defeat, those are the type of hardcore in MMORPG in my view.

    But please keep in mind that this is my personal view on HARDCORE and this does not make it a FACT for each and every person, others might agree or disagree on it as it's just a opinion i wanted to share

    So instead of asking where did all the hardcore player go please explain what YOU see as being hardcore. Maybe some could asnwer your OP better that way, as i am sure i am not the only one that might see Hardcore in a MMORPG different then what we see it being on forums like this.

    There are different lvls of hardcore,
     

    Play 24/7 can be hardcore

    Grind for months in instance 24/7 can be hardcore

    When time comes and you play Darkfall will also give new meaning to hardcore it will be ultimate hardcore defenition.

    When Darkfall is launched new Defenition of harcore = Playing Darkfall:)

    You forgot the : In my opinion part

• • Sony has lost over $3 billion on the PS3

  • What the hell, since this thread is already so far off the topic of MMO's anyways.....

    Thing that seems to be hurting PS3 a little this time around is the lack of good exclusive games, MGS is about it, most the others are multi-platform or exclusive to other systems. I know, I got one hardly ever gets any play anymore since I already burned through the couple games I had.

    At least Sony started to pull their head out of their a$$ and make their online system halfway decent this time around, last console gen X-Box live blew away sony's online service (what there was of it), and so far I still think X-Box live is the better service despite and because of the fees involved. (and honestly if you drop $500-$600 for a system that is more than likely only good for a couple of years yet bitch about paying a what? $9.00 fee for a superior online service then you probablly shouldn't have bought the system in the first place).

    I  went with the PS3 this time around because I had a bunch of friends that wanted to hook up and play online, last gen consoles I had an X-Box, was very pleased with it, this gen, well at least I can watch Blu-Ray movies (what few of them that are currently out) now.....

    Roomate has a Wii, while entertaining & it does have many exclusive titles the sad truth is most of it;s exclusives to not appeal to me at all, so probablly not going to go out and purchase a Wii so I can work up a sweat playing Wii sports......

    Overall I think PC games are far superior, generally they are updated more reliably and often (although this has been getting better with consoles this time around), with upgrades a PC can be kept viable for a much longer period of time abd quite honestly there are more superior titles out for PC than all 3 consoles put together and the PC has much more versatility.

    Also can anyone verify, I thought I read awhile back in a gaming magazine somewhere that Sony was no longer getting exclusive rights to the Final Fantasy series?

• • Group-based MMOs

  • DDO is highly group based for PVE play. Has a very easy to use UI for LFG & LFM that is utilized by most all of the players.

    If a game that is not sacrificing content and multi-ingame calculations for faster gameplay (fps) while sitting there commando style jarhead haircut /ooc-ing for a group/pleading for a guild because in truth they cannot handle being a true commando.  But on the forums they bluster about harsh envirenments with pvp everywhere.

     

    
     

    Agree.

     

    So since substantial penalties seem to constitute hardcore in most peoples eyes then that would make prema-death pretty damn hardcore right?  Yet everytime someone brings it up it get's shot down immediatly, so I guess not TOO hardcore huh?
