When a game doesn't come to your platform of choice...just make one!
We knew it wasn't going to do much new, but is it worth playing at all?
Damn...you're really about to feel old with some of these big MMORPG birthdays!
Things get a little different for Wilfredo in this particular episode.
Congratulations, you think AeriaGames make the MMOs they host.
Aside from that I too agree this game is nothing new to MMORPGS except the setting of the game.
now i am 24 lwl and i see
pros:
6 diferent classes
classes can make different builds
beautiful creatures,environment.
good pvp system
nice skill graphics
cons:
to short quests, to hard to follow the story
Mechs sucks (to sort cooldown or cp regeneration) in pvp events u see only mechs.
low variety of items. of course item enchenment system is deep.
to much stats. its hard to understand at start
i dont know yet but it seems like its no end game activity.
Generic or not people who are looking for this type of game will play, and I can see it having an audience, will I play it? No, but I'm just voicing my thoughts.
I give this game a year or 2 before aeria takes it down.
So I just posted a TRUE and FACT based review with notes for all to consider. For example, when you make a game you have to consider the geography wher eyou are building and setting up Servers. So, we all know we open an english game to Polish and Russian and German player. OBVIOUS due to chat in game. And if you play other games, you know whats up.
So I said: "Most hackers come from Russia and poland where hacking laws are allot lenient, look at what happened to Army Rage" true story. This is what the stupid Forum mod said here:
You need to read the forum rules and follow them.
discussions about hacking is not allowed.
And nationalistic/racist comments about specific countries/ethnic groups is not acceptable.
Topics must be constructive, you are not.
You topic "GAME KILLERS" have bin removed for all 3 resons.
AVOID THIS GAME! HE IS MAKING AND TWISTING THE FACTS TO HIDE A FAILED LAUNCH OF THIS GAME!!! I ALREADY UNINSTALLED! RUN! THEY WANT TO HIDE THEIR IMAGE and TAKE THE CASH!
This is pretty obvious in SEVERAL FPS I have played, none of them have been this dumb and liars though. They usually ignore comments like this and let haks take over. This is so going on other mmorpg FPS sites now
It also must be stated in my opinion but every time i hear spunkify give the opening intro to his first looks I keep thinking of Omer from MMO hut.com. Its word for word the EXACT same intro when spunk worked for mmohut last year. C'mon man, come up with your own intro.
first off most of the ppl posting in here havent made it past lvl 10, your comments prove that. and since it takes about 30mins to get that far, you havent played a whole lot.
i too thought this game would be a mere marketing scheme, but my gf wanted me to test it out cuz the game caught her eye. i was pleasantly surprised.
is the game doing something mind blowing? No. is the game any worse than alot of popular games? No, in fact i think its better than some MMOs who have been out a long time. the movements and controls are rather smooth. the 80v80 pvp battles do not lag for me on either of my pc's. the mech/cybersuit aspect to pvp is unique, and if used well can make a huge difference. the questing system is set up in such a way where it encourages you to take part in the pvp or you will require some grinding to lvl later on. Or you could run an instance and make up for the difference, but they require tickets to enter so id recommend the first two options.
the down side is, like alot of mmos the content isnt very vast. at least not yet. this is beta and perhaps more features will be introduced post launch. i cant say ive had issues with exp while being in a grp like some have posted, ive run solo and in parties and its the same as far as i can tell except parties make it faster.
as far as the Mature theme goes, other than the puzzle pics u unlock for skill points there is no requirement to see nudity. those aspects must be sought out to view. in fact i havent come across any outside of the pics. and once unlocked u dont need to view them again. they outfits are quite revealing, but that isnt a new thing to mmos so im not sure why there is all this hate on the subject. obviously they added some nudity to draw ppl in who may be looking for it, but again it isnt shoved in your face in an unavoidable type of way.
the funny part is, i know more rl females who are interested in this game than males. my gf and several of her friends have picked it up. they find the quest story amusing and enjoy the comparing of outifits. initially my gf wanted me to play with her but since her friends started i have been relieved of having to deal with the discussion of shoes etc. i do find their conversations on Mumble quite hilarious tho.
all in all this game is on par with any other fantasy f2p mmo for the most part. its no LoTRO but it isnt a bad game. if the mature theme really puts u off then just avoid this game, if u play zoomed out like i do 99% of the time, then it really wont have much impact on your gaming experience.
nudity in games - such a taboo but violence is perfectly OK..
about review - nice job Spunky, u did it with sense of humor.
Calling target audience in an M-rated game is the 12-14 year olds? No comment really.
Calling the questing system flawed because he partied to quest? Anyone that plays Korean games would know that leads to less exp and dead zones without a filler source of exp like exp boosts or just good old grinding.
This is the first, first look I couldn't finish because the amount of misleading information given because of personal taste.
It is fine to not like something but don't review and and misinform others.
"big boobs" uhhh. Vindictus, aion, tera, hell even dark blood that 2d fighter that got shut down had bewbs.
Aeria typical garbage. Just copy and paste robo skins over boars and typical 1995 mmorpg. No thanks.
not an amazing game, but the character talking about being a sort of "object" for a pervert commander does make you want to progress a bit more in the game
nope sry. Thats the wrong way.
the reason they made it point click instead of action is so you can have a hand free while you play... for obvious reasons. in the main city of the level 30 area the one that has the see through floor and is way above the water on a platform... there is a beach you can drop down to if you jump in the water and there is sunbathing ladies down there with no tops uncensored and they even have tramp stamps.
I did the alpha test for this game and I can say its a pass. nothing special nothing to keep your interest its just like sex, you all excited at naked bodies at first but if you have to keep going it becomes work and feels like your getting nagged.
Story is lame, characters have no personality and lame puns, little customization if any, linear quest with no exploration, and finally the pvp is too bland
i give it a 2 out of 5. 1 point for the draw of naked ladies and 1 point for having content that isn't all party oriented.
*Floats away*
When I first saw this game I felt uncomfortable, thought the game would be a cheap joke that would only last two years at most. (who knows, maybe it will) but I kept watching videos the prove my own point and ended up being interested in the combat style. Yeah, so it follows the standard of the average mmo, but it was still a lot more fast paced than most. When I actually downloaded the game, it was quite easy to look past the porn-y aspect of it. The innuendos are kind of hilariously lame and the some of the classes armors get rather tame as you play. But I still refuse to have a Sentinel, that's one problem that still makes me uncomfortable.
I just see this game as nothing to take seriously. It's stupid, but fun. I understand the shit it gets and the many reasons people hate it, but I for one like it. Probably the only game from Aeria that's kept my interest for more than a couple of days/
I have no words
get back to good gameplay not adding bigger tits and the ability to make them nude when you create them crazy asians
the story does'nt seem that captivating either, i'll pass
To make matters worse, it's a generic MMO gameplay wise, which tells me that they are literally trying to sell the game because of it's hyper-sexualized nature instead of making a game that's enjoyable in the long run. Yeah it has a couple gimmicks with the mechs, but that's all it is to me, mere gimmicks that lose their novelty fairly quick.
I'd personally feel shame if I had to play this game, Maybe it's just me, but I have better respect for women than this. I think I'll go get my 44 1/2 ft pole to push this one into the DO NOT PLAY hole, because I feel like I'd have to get tested if I touch this one.
There has been some instance of players claiming they never party and are missing exp, usually around level 19 to 21. This is probably the result of ksing or two people attempting to kill the same monster. I could be wrong on this, for all i know, some of the missing experience is done on purpose so you actually grind, but I had two characters to test this. One was always partying, and I always ran short on exp to get the next level. The other was pure solo, and I never ran out of quest/exp for the next level.
Pretty neat game. =)
