THAT is why, I think...
PSO2 is going to be amazing when it hits us I'm sure...not these crappy Blade and Soul-style MMOs where the gameplay is simply a bit more active....just slapped onto the same damn concept we've played a million times over.
So yeah, I'm really excited for Guild Wars 2 and Phantasy Star Online 2...
.........Imagine a Monster Hunter MMO with an open world and possibility for danger (Rathalos swooping in your gang xD) always on your mind.
There is no male characters that you can choose.... just female and female dressed as a dude. What anime ppl call male i see either totaly gay or crossdresser female
As for video, pfff… so generic and common, it’s sad. Why so many publishers are afraid of player driven economy – don’t know. But in games, that have that it is fun to skip main content and do some bargain, research and etc. plus it encourages crafting, hunt for resources and competition overall. Yep guitars are fun, for hour or two; special food? Oh don’t be mad, ppl will see animation for cooking/boiling/crafting once, two times, three maybe and afterwards will end up skipping it.
Raiders is ok game, as a f2p title it’s superb, well before item mall is introduced, but knowing PWI it shouldn’t be bad. But still, having new for most of mmorpg games combat system this games relies on common and boring features too much. Transformations, crafting – it’s just boring :/ now put the common materials in market house for fixed price, higher grade one make gettable from mobs, and very rare ones from bosses. Go deeper with crafting systems, professions, skills and etc; arrange open and free market – there will be point to grind and do same mobs over and over again!
Well it’s a young game, maybe someday… :)
Ok Raiderz is way better than that m***** f****** Aion. I dont know why are you guys complaining so much, Raiderz is fast, colorfull, monster hunter clone, fun, nobrain action slasher game, where normal things you expect too work, WILL work. Its a mix of wow questing & crafting and Tera gameplay. Dont judge a book by its cover. If you try Raiderz, you will not regret.
P.S. sorry for writing in slang and english is my second language
Single Player action role playing games are paced in a way that no open world MMO can be. You have gameplay that spans through exploration, combat, sneaking, puzzles and more importantly that content is designed to be spanned over about 50 hours. And since there is little or no net-code a very precise limb damage detecting in-ya-face combat can easily work.
Hope you are still following.
Open world massive multiplayer online games rely heavily on net-code, meaning every single bit of information has to go through the server and back. This means they can not implement sneaking in any form even remotely close to it's singleplayer counterpart, hit detection is heavily limited to it's basic form, virtually everything is simplified because it has to be. It is why there are so many open world fantasy games and so little open world first perso shooters, because of the limitations set to us by data transfer, not because people like fantasy more. You see, the situation is that internet traffic technology is not at par with our imagination or with our desires, for the time being.
I know you are tired, hang on it, it's almost over.
Both Tera and RaiderZ really only use smoke and mirriors to distract you from how simple their combat really is, and this new "trend" of games that use similar combat, like Neverwinter and Guild Wars 2 is here now at this point in time and not sooner only because it couldn't have come sooner. MMOs are still stuck with point and click combat because of technology, not because people are stupid.
And even if that was the case, Seth sunshine, the point and click combat would not be the one to blame as you seam to suggest. The cause would probably be the same one that is making peoples worlds and their minds so small that they look down on others and believe that they are intelectually superrior because they like fast paced combat in a video game.
They're like "Let's do TERA combat within the WoW universe and make it smaller and with all the PW cash shop items everyone loves!". Blegggh
It's ok if you play something like dragon age, or sky rim or whatever else. However if we talk long term mmo playstyle, your fingers get tired, you get tired and bored of constantly moving and pressing the action keys as well.
At least they should introduce the option, letting me dodge but if I am bored, or I do not feel like constantly moving left or right to dodge and charge, I should have an "auto attack" option where the only thing I am required is to press the 1-9 keys every once in a while.
Otherwise it's a bit above average, nothing new or inventive under the Sun and since it's made by Perfect World, something tells me that there will be some heavy pay to win elements in it as well.
