Sounds great, but what it really comes down to is grind your way to max lvl doing the same stuff over and over again. Then go on raids or pvp battles which will also be the same boring thing over and over.

number of people crying because their ship was stolen from them: immense

it'll be like taking a cruise in WoW and pwning the guys that get on board. ten rogues in stealth waiting for a bunch of people to hop on the ship and then pwning them as soon as the boat leaves the dock was good times.

Yeah, except doing the same stuff over and over CAN be fun.

Just ask anyone that grew up on games like Qbert, Frogger and Pac-man.

MMO's are not fun, they just trick you into thinking you're having a good time.

teuf · 07-03-2006, 05:14 PM

huge ship v. ship sea battles ftw.

get an armada of ships going and lay waste to a town, not a bad idea, and i can see it being fun.

That's what people said about SWG.

If you think you're having a good time, you ARE having a good time...since "a good time" is subjective anyway.

I liked some shooters and adventure games, but I'm still waiting for that one game to keep me addicted for months. Hellgate London will be its name.

It's a trap, I thought I liked EQ2 and had fun playing it. But really it's just a giant timesink that makes you feel like you accomplish great things by spending hours and hours on it. Fun is when you get results quickly and often for a long time so you keep playing because you'll know you'll get so many rewards it just keeps being fun. You know?

You're a fucking dumbass. I bet you're the guy that enters cheat codes to get God mode and infinite ammo.

I'll go through it a few times to get to know the whole game, then it's all about collecting items in the most effecient way possible. In my free time (pretty much 90% of all my time) I'll play my own characters to stay in touch with the community.

D8alus · 07-03-2006, 05:21 PM

Did you watch the video?

HOLY SHIT!

had there been open pvp and you was able to disable people's ships and board them then kill them and take their ship...

that would have been hella awesome.

or better..instead of taking the ship, loot the fuck out of it then set charges on it to blow.

Dyer's Eve · 07-03-2006, 05:24 PM

Wow...the specs are really...low...

Dakk · 07-03-2006, 05:24 PM

I can't wait for the Community vs. GM's on the "But we should be able to both pillage *and* rape!"

If each crewmember can be an actual player and not an AI...

Its like that SNL skit where they have a headache detection test.

Qwo · 07-03-2006, 05:50 PM

It looks like crap, but it sounds awesomely badass.

**Etch** · 07-03-2006, 06:10 PM

Who cares about the graphics? If the gameplay is as good as it looks/sounds, Im in.

Dyer's Eve · 07-03-2006, 06:12 PM

But it's a Disney game...

They probably won't allow the griefing we want to do.

Sid Meier's Pirates was cartoony, too. Go cry somewhere else.
