Re: What Are The Best New MMOs in 2010?

why did the market tank

why is gw2 risky

Maybe risky is the wrong word here.

What I mean to say is that GW2 is designed to be drastically different from the traditional MMORPG game mechanics, and in that respect you really have to question just about everything they're doing. Take out grinding? Ook. No dedicated healers? Ook. Make a persistent dynamic world that doesn't piss half the people playing off? Ook.

It might all sound great on paper but the actual execution might be a different story.

World of Warcraft Cataclysm is released this year (December 7th roughly) and WoW is still rated the top MMO game of the year/century :/ .... lol Guild Wars 2 I'm lookin forward to though

Re: What Are The Best New MMOs in 2010?

GW2 has the potential to be very good imo. It's a risky move though for more reasons than one

On the other hand, Cataclysm comes out pretty soon
It'll be interesting to see some of the level redesigns for earlier places

Yeah it's one of those experimental titles that could swing hard either way, but no matter what I think other MMO's are going to take a couple pages out of what they get right.

idc how AwEsOmE the demos are, idc how DeEp the dev articles are

until the final product comes out and professional critics **** their pants until their pants rupture, i don't buy into game hype for the most part

Well, it's not really being hyped by anyone other than fans (I mean, they don't even have a release date), but it's a studio with a respectable dev history and a series that has proven itself repeatedly, so I don't see any reason to not be optimistic.

Additionally, I would put the opinions of professional critics (more like anyone who uses a numbered scale to judge games really, not all of them) slightly below the weather in terms of factors that convince me to buy a game.

WoW is good at what it does, but asides that it can't really be compared to other MMOs..

Re: What Are The Best New MMOs in 2010?

2010 is drawing to a close. Let's check out what good new MMOs in 2010?

Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy XIV, also known as Final Fantasy XIV Online, is the fourteenth installment in the Final Fantasy series, released in September 2010. More than just a sequel to Final Fantasy XI, this is a whole new game with a very different approach to online gaming. Playing on your own is now just as rewarding as battling in groups and your character's progression and growth is achieved by using and refining your existing skills, rather than just earning general experience points. Likewise you can change jobs simply by taking up a different weapon or item, from sword to blacksmith's hammer, although specialising in the game's four disciplines (war, magic, land and hand) will always give you an advantage. The end result is a more accessible and varied experience than any other online game and the most exciting Final Fantasy yet.

Battle of the Immortals
Battle of the Immortals is an action MMORPG that blends Norse mythology with a Qin Dynasty era Chinese game world. The game has many staple features such as pets, mounts, PvP combat, and an auto-navigate system but also has plenty of new innovations. Among these is the Soul Gear system in which equipment gains experience and grows with use. Additionally, the Zodiac System grants characters special powers at certain times depending on their character’s selected birthday.

Dynasty Warriors Online
Dynasty Warriors Online is the MMORPG version of the famous hack-and-slash console series. Like many Asian MMORPGs, DWO is set in the Three Kingdoms period, but this time players can jump straight into the action. Dynasty Warriors Online has fast-paced combat where players will be striking down hordes of enemies with every swing. Each weapon type has different stats, such as reach, power, and speed. Players must decide which weapons to use and upgrade. There is a ton of PvE and PvP content in the game, but like the console versions, battles themselves are instanced. Up to twenty-four users can take part in a battle, and each team must work together to capture bases and kill as many enemies as possible.
Dynasty Warriors Online is a 3D fantasy MMORPG set in medieval China. Players can take part in massive battles that contain both fast-paced, live-action, tactical gameplay. Battle for control of China during the Three Kingdoms period! Take part in epic, large-scale, instanced battles in DWO!

Iris Online
Iris is a MMORPG blending medieval fantasy element and Gypsy ethnic group style. It offers dungeon and PVP gameplay In Iris, there are three races available for selection, Human, Orc and Elf. Another selling point of Iris is Tarot Card originated from the Middle Age Italy. There are totally 78 cards. 22 are Major Arcana and 56 are Minor Arcana. Using these cards, players can enhance skills, transform into monsters, etc. They can even attach Tarot cards on their weapons to gain special abilities.

Keep our eyes on the result of players' votes(Undergoing now): http://contest.mmosite.com/gameprize...=gamelist&id=6

According to the upper description, i might as well try Final Fantasy series...
hope it will give me what other games cant give me~

In my opinion,whether MMO releases were/are expansions, if you feel happy and satisfied,

just stick to if, regardless of what others said...

Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of information with us.

Am I the only one that doesn't see the appeal of MMO's?

They're grindy, boring, and so time-consuming. Where's the fun?

I personally love MMO's, but they are so poison that I don't touch them anymore
