And we shall see how much entertainment Shadows of Mordor provides you after 60-70 hours of gameplay. Linear Single player games, are a burst of "Oooooo, Ahhhh!" and then you never play them again or at least wait many years before giving it another go.
I will take "oooo ahhh" very fun of 60-70 hours over months of meh.
Plus, there are many single player games. It is not like after 60-70 hours, i have no other entertainment.
Originally posted by JDis25 MMOs are generally "Okay kind of cool... pretty bored now... wait I am actually learning how to play better... ok this is starting to get interesting... this is fantastic!.... i could play this for years....maybe not years but at least a few months... well that was fun but moving on....worst game I ever played" lol, that last one was a joke.
Skyrim is a single player game and there are many people who have played that longer than most of the mmos thats been coming out. Like over thousands of hours of gameplay. If you comes to this website, you see people complaining and quit an mmo within a week or two but usually less than a month. And Skyrim has simpler style of gameplay too yet its addicting.
And again if planetside 2 can have up to 2000 player massive battles in a sandbox with those graphics than there is no excuse for other developers cant do it. Plus that game is also coming out on a console.
And there are clearly lots of PC gamers asking for high end graphics otherwise Chris Roberts wouldnt be banking right now with star citizen.
Sky rim is a single time buy. So that also effects it. Most new MMOs are P2P ,meaning people will only play if its worth the extra money per month to keep playing. Skyrim does not deal with that area. So its consumers see no reason to rush for enjoyment so quickly.

Well, i don't know about Shadow of Mordor. But what about KuF2? It has prety nice graphics, and it runs on a calculator.
But if the minimum is a HD5850 for Shadow of Mordor, could it be crap optimization?
But hey, Black Desert, Bless, Black Sheep will have some decent graphics, even if it isn't as good as the example used here.
Though, by the time an mmo lands in EU and NA it is already outdated.

Requiring at least a 5 year old GPU is hardly "crap optimization".
