    WAR (Warhammer Online)
• • CoS is too simple?

  • To me I think the point of the game is this: to have fun. There's lots of ways a game can allow you to have fun. Just because WoW's idea of fun is "get uber loot...that's about all," doesn't mean that's the only way. TCoS sounds like it will be similar to City of Heroes, who also took a "simpler" approach to the MMO experience. For me, getting rid of ninja-looting and bickering about who can get what uber item was a lot of fun. Just get a team together and go fight. It's like TCoS is focusing less on items and more on the players.

• • This Game Owns

  • Me and my friend constantly leave (and return to) WoW to play CoV all the time. WoW's a good game, don't get me wrong, but CoV has so many different things to offer that makes it fun. I like how you get to the level cap and then can just start all over with a new toon. It's all about making new, interesting characters and having fun along the way, instead of focusing on grinding and raiding....and raiding....and raiding! Can't wait for Champions Online :)

    City of Villains
• • Thinking of resubbing...

  • I played VG at launch, left after a couple months, then returned about a year later. The difference was noticeable but for me, not worth playing again for the longterm. Crafting takes forever (but then again so does adventuring, but there's more action in adventuring), and Diplomacy is incomplete, as previously noted. It's a cool and innovative way of doing diplomacy, to be sure, but no one plays an MMO for its diplomacy. Maybe if being a high level diplomat actually did anything in the game it would be useful. Maybe you could talk that orc out of killing you and your friends instead of just fighting him. Maybe you could become a ruler of some distant tribe of Amazonian women. Nope. Nothing. It's just something else to sink time into and level up. No real benefits to it.
