Originally posted by Stizzled The success or failure of these titles can only be determined by each individual's definition of success or failure. Since you haven't provided yours I'll provide mine: If the game stays open and earns a profit, then it's a success. Going by that I can't vote in your poll without an 'all of the above' option, I believe each of those titles will be successful.
Yes, I have to agree with your definition, and they'll likely make boatloads of money, more than recover their costs and last for many years to come.
Now if the OP means will any of those reach WOW type popularity? No, I don't think any of them will, each has their own niche they are better targeted for.
I believe EQN:L will be here a long long time, forever.. really. I don't see why it wont have as much popularity as minecraft.
Voted for EQN, if it has complete fantasy world and mostly sandboxy gameplay I will stick to it for a good while. I dont mind the "cartoony" graphics, they are a lot easier to get right than "realistic" graphics imo and easier to forgive some simple design choises.

I don't know enough about EQN to vote for it, but I definitely agree with you on the graphics point. I think it's possible to have good graphics without them being super realistic at the same time.
The animations are more important to me than the graphic style or quality. I don't really enjoy WoW anymore but the game still feels fluid and great because of the smooth animations and never locking you in place while an animation plays out.
Originally posted by Ender4 I know ESO and WS are going to just be tweaked versions of games I've already played.
You probably aren't in beta, based on what you've said. That or you only played for all of 5 minutes. But I dare you to read this (if you have beta access) and still say that ESO is a "tweaked version" of games you've already played.
No, I am in the beta. Feels like a game I already played. It is the little things I look at. The same mobs spawn in the same places over and over, the quests are done the same basic way. The combat feels just like a bunch of other games as does the character progression. The game just feels like they modded a game I have already played.

No definition of success.
No option for multiple games to be 'successful'.
No chance for any meaningful analysis or discussion to develop based on poll.
