I play the game for 3 days now and i really duno what you guys are talking about. Yes there are some annoying things: In the battle over an outpost with 20 players and 50 monsters the framerate drops significantly. Not sure if thats my system tho. Some Text windows are overlapping making it hard to read everything in a text box. I havent found a mail system yet not sure if its in the game or not. BUT: This game is thrilling! Its a nice change from the boring mainstream fantasy MMO's flooding the market. I've done a few of the lower instances now and really enjoyed them! Looking forward to see alot more of that. The combat is fun fun fun - and the AI is sometimes really good. This game is FUN. It has some flaws but i accept them and hope for upcomming patches. I can only suggest the naysayers here buy a copy of the game and build their own opinion instead of being manipulated by stupid articles from questionable sources. Bursche
"I'z done played fors a few ourz. Dis gmae is de best ev'a. Uz fools jus don no . I'z no. Use no no."
Oh? hehe, go roll yourself an Exobiologist.
I would hope that NCSoft is paying for better shills than that. Then again, with the abysmal game that is called TR, perhaps that is the level of competence that we could expect from anyone in that company.
Fan bios aside, when the CFO of a company openly calls a product a "Financial Disaster" all of the faning can say what it wants, the truth is likely even worse than what is quoted by a corporate executive to the public.
Now then, I can go play my Exobiologist or fold the laundry... yep, the laundry has far more depth, better skills, greater complexity and is way more fun.
I somewhat understood some of that i mean my spelling and grammer plain sucks but that was terrible i guessing english is not your first language which is fine atleast you tried.
On-Topic the last game that NCSoft hinted was having money problems from the launch was auto-assault and i know alot of people have been commenting on this but its true NCSoft tried for over a year to get the game to playable state and towards the end the game was quite good but the damage was done and they axed it, I see TR going the same root alot faster if they dont do a complete overhaul of the game.
I can't believe this game cost that much to develop. No story, rehashed graphics, no unique gameplay features. WTF? This looks like just a standard game that any developer can hash out without much resource.
Personally, I didn't dislike TR. In fact, I thought it was pretty groovey, but I tend to like Action orietned games a lot more than classic RPGs.
TR is a game that basically has a good foundation. Nevermind the "it could have been" stuff, or the "it was a complete let down and financial disaster". You have to look at it realistically here folks. Games cost more to make these days. Not because the process takes longer, but because of natural economic inflation. Something like gas prices in America, affects a lot of completely unrelated stuff. It's just one simple thing, and that is just an example.
TR really reminds me of SWG to be honest. A game that can really be great given the proper time, and the fact that it was released too early didn't help. But, where SOE could have pushed back at leastone more year with SWG, I really think TR had to be launched simply because they weren't spending anymore money on it - period. I think NCSoft had no choice but to launch in it's current condition. It would have been nice if they had pushed back just six more months, but the game had already been in producion for 7 years or so, and it completely changed direction halfway through. That is risk enough.
Anyhoo... I think the game will eventually be pretty good, like someone mentioned EVE Online. I don't think it will ever have the depth I am looking for in a game, but I think that is mostly an NCSoft trait. if you look at all of their games... none of them are really deep and involving. Their deepest game is maybe Lineage 2, and no one wants to play that because... well... for reasons we all know about.
I cancelled my sub for TR, because It didn't offer game elements I am looking for, and I honestly don't see the game going in that direction anyway. Not because it wouldn't be great for the game, but simply because NCSoft has a track record of really neer adding anything new to their games, on a fundamental level. The core of the design is set, and there is no reason for them to branch out.
