Every time I think of who is developing Neverwinter I cry. its going to a be a super shallow game that you will have to pay mico transactions for just to get the full game.
This is just my opinion but it looks to me like this is just part of Cryptics business plan.
Make low development cost, short turn around, sub-par quality mmos with little depth, churn it out, retrieve development cost, wash, rince, repeat.
I'm not saying that it doesn't work... and that it's a horrible way of doing business, I guess I just hate it when it happens to a Franchise like Star Trek when it could have been sooooooo much more to soooo many more people.
Good Cryptic though I guess, if they can stay afloat and pay their people this way, who are we to judge. If you don't agree and or don't like the game, don't buy it. Consumer right and all that jaz.
I just hope that they aren't given any more established IPs to ruin with their nonsense...
What? they had one big IP (Startrek) and made a game out of it that works, ofc its not the mmo super sandbox flyaround hardcore game that some wanted but it works.
Know quite a few people being happy playing it.
CO aint a big IP, and they done that game well for what it is. CoH original had a good base aswell and after the sale it lived on that base for years.
NWN is still being made so we have no clue how it will end up, it seems to become MMOG were players can made their own stuff to have fun in whit others. if I had to guess it will be a "f2p" model from the start but thats a heavy wild guess.
Cryptic does not make -MMORPGs- they make MMOG's , Theme based worlds in the modern way.
Also note, Cryptic is a developers house the big master behind it is Atari, they say if someting should be a MMOG or RPG or SIM whatever.
