I'm back! Sorry for the long wait it just takes a while to move and get settled for me I guess. Anyways, there has been much talk over the forums in multiple websites about ODST & AION the most recently released games (ODST Today, AION Yesterday).
AION - The so-called messiah of all MMORPG's, well to tell you the truth so was DarkFall & Age of Conan & Warhammer Online. Basically its Lineage 2 having a baby with World of Warcraft. All of the same gold farmer attracting attributes as Lineage 2 had but with a flare about it that draws 14 year olds to it like a moth to a flame. The only gimmik in this whole game is the fact that you can PvP and have huge Wings as you progress through the game. Yes wings like a bird that you can fly with for only a certain amount of time. PvP has been done, there isnt gonna be much change from the battleground format that WoW implemented so that gimmik is done. Also the wings thing has been done before, in Shadowbane. To tell you the truth I honestly think Shadowbane was ahead of its time as a crappy MMORPG, simply because DarkFall & AION are so similar to it mechanically. I won't buy this game, I dont have to play a game to know how good it is for christ sake I've been gaming since I was born practically I have been doing this for a long long time and know when to spot a game lemon.
ODST - Oh my another Halo game, I like halo. But what I dont like is when companies try to milk a franchise for all its worth then throw it in the dirt as a dried up husk. The only good series games in the history of videogames were RPG's, and those were a dime a dozen. When I look at the ODST game I just think to myself, "Don't they thing its... finished?" Basically they tailored it to compete with other shooter games, where is the innovation? I mean Gears of War 2 Horde mode was excellent, so was the Call of Duty: World at War zombie mode. You cant just throw in a survival mode into every game, it makes it less unique and more mainstream.
ODST & AION are an example of how the gaming industry is going downward into a poophole. Back in the late 90's there were so many great games I cant remember there being even one crappy one... oh wait Azurik.
