• • Aah, a place to concentrate on what's important here: Me!

    Right now, I'm not putting my money down on any thing. See that list of released games on the left? I've tinkered with most of those and they all have their gems but also their flaws. Is this where I'm suppose to put my wish list of things in a game? May as well. I feel like a rant anyway.

    1. Cyberpunk: It's body modification, brain modofication, projecting the mind into virtual space and hacking it up. I want a game where I can be an up and coming cowboy, hired by the yakuza to mine data from the corporates. I want to be able to leave my body and take over the cyberbrain of someone else and whang their soon-to-be-corpse into oncoming traffic. I want to need to sit on the face of a data warehouse and ease my way through its ice, using every hacking technique my skill level has access to. I want to be able to hack my own skill level to see if I can sneak in an upgrade before the server crashes me out. I want it to be dirty, skungy, permanent night, with dollar-a-night hookers and drugged up street trash and nanobot health injections and brain tanks sold on every street corner.
    2. Steampunk: Who needs electricity when you can do it all with valves and hot, hot steam. Burn it up, blast it out. Computers mean huge factories of complex machinery. Flywheels and chains and ropes and pulleys and lots and lots of effort. Hard, hot, wet, dirty. That's how I like it. Coal fired, steam powered weaponry? Yeah baby.
    3. Sci fi means it's got science, but it's made up, not something out of Pyhsics Review Weekly. And who confused sci fi with time travel? We haven't left this earth yet, we haven't explored space or other worlds. Just because it's sci fi doesn't mean it's the future. Any why is it that only space ships have tractor beams? Why can't tractors have tractor beams? Why can't you tie people up with laser beams? Why can't you use a freeze ray effectively against photon torpedos? What would happen if you had a cannon that fired black holes at your enemy? Why can't you freeze clouds?
    4. I want to be able to battle down the streets of New York or Amsterdam or Melbourne and have them look like those places. I want to tread the streets that I know from real life and recognise places or know where to go becuase I've actually been there. And then find it's full of hellish monsters, cool magic shops, murderous cut-throat pirates, or mysterious green crystals you feel compelled to spend many hours mining.
    5. I like creative fantasy but not any resembling something Tolkein would think up. It's just so blah. I like some of the crazy stuff those Japanese and Koreans dream up. It's not all orcs and dragons and tudor townships full of blank eyed country folk. Swords with guns in them. Crazy hot chicks who fight with their hair. Things with the front of a lion, the back of a gorilla and the middle of a tokyo-destroying super-robot. Blobs of goo that fight back. Humongously massively giant mega monsters that fire neutron bombs from their eyes but are powered by emo school kids. Woo!
    6. I'm into the surreal. I'd love a game with monkeys who use spatulas to pry bees nests out of coconut trees. Where it rains frogs. Where fish fly in schools in the air and vampire bats herd buffalo using laser beams out their beaks. You, the player, evolved from under the toenails of the gods (literally) and, mainly to get away from the smell, set about not discovering fire or the wheel but creating a line of habedashery with designs based on the colour of underbellies of dolphins. I want it wierd, wonderful and completely stupefying at every turn. There is nothing at all like this.
    7. A rockin social creative place where it's all lovey dovey and nobody really dies - well, not horribly anyway. Messily and in humerous ways, but not horribly with blood and bits. But where to level up you need to beat the other guy in a nitro-fulled 10,000,000 volt rock and roll electric guitar war (if you're in the rockstar class) or a mega powerful ultra-choc pastry bake off against your opponent (if you're in a chef class) or a no-rules, gruelling two hour tango to the death. Fighting doesn't have to involve hitting stuff. I'm so so sick of hitting stuff.
    8. I'd like to have to start young and live to be older. And when my character dies, the consciousness and skills and worlds goods all transfer over into a new, young character who has to live and grow through it all again. The chance for a change - a new face, new hair, a new name, a new race or gender or base skill. You die, you get to choose again, and you get to carry some (not all) of what you used to be across to the new character. The older you get, the better the player is at not dying. Respect your elders? Nah, but handy to have them along when you and the other kids go out for a good slaying.

    Well, I'm hungry. Comments, flames, bizarre misquotings all welcome!

    You hurt my brain making it understand yours.

    Maybe its not casual enough for you to enjoy it. I quit it being around lvl 20, went back to WoW, returned to it again and are now looking forward to reach lvl 50. Never had problems finding people to group with. The  only thing  that would make me return to WoW again is the better PVP.

    The problem is with the game is that it is too casual. And I must ask

    all mmo players to stop butchering the word casual. It's annoying to use such a vocab for a simple matter.

    That includes the press on this site, and all other sites. Personally what I've heard. In general

    games lack combat stance to keep the questing standable. As I much as I would love to enjoy a

    mcchicken while watching a freaking toon in front of me do his own thing even though its suppose to be me,

    thats how fat people are made. If I wanted to watch something, that is what movies are for. Drop the cookie

    cutting bull freaking donkey piss. It's like how I still play Dark alliance 1. Why? Because the combat is thee

    stuff. Heck, I sometimes still play RYL with it's crapstatics graphics. Why? Because combat is what is.

    Now I'm sure with cleaned up graphics a well placed story line all would be well in the world.

    It's why so many are hyped for Age of Conan. I have no clue about WAR if thats going to be the same case or not. This is merely another case why I didn't even bother touching the game after level 11 in the beta.

    It doesn't really get different. Character design is  horrible. Probably couldn't make a thigh right to save

    their life. No offense turbine but your sucking at your job as of late. What made me like the single player rpg was it's fluent attacks the ability to control what is meant to be you.  It's just something to keep in mind

    about this game and all other mmorpg's.

    Dude, read your other thread.

    You're just a moron. lol

    PVE isn't the focus of the game. PVE is just something that was thrown in to make the world more dynamic.

    EVE isn't a solo player's game.

    I'd love to see you take on a lvl 55 with only 2 months play in a game like L2.

    My friend, PVE is the focus of all games. Those who play mmorpg's do it because their bored.

    And they would do anything to destroy that boredom. Go to lackland AFB head to the 319th squad.

    And stay there for a good two weeks and try and not kill yourself before leaving. Most people would

    love to just sit and watch a toon smack something and do nothing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending

    eve, personally I think the game sucks hairy donkey's corpse's tail which has been rotting for 3 years, filled with festering maggots. However, I find this post pointless retarded. EVE grinds it's own way differently

    and mankind doesn't like change. It's in their blood you might say. Personally I shall pick up my wireless

    controller and beat this god forsaken Lost Odyssey. Freaking 4 discs.  Then after that, it's dmmm: Elements. HURRAY!! Gah.

     

    Cheers mate,

    Chaos.
