I would love Dragon's Dogma Online to be made available in the west. The SP game is extremely fun, and I'm happy it's coming to PC.
No Man's Sky is the only other game on the list I'm excited for. The rest are 'meh'. Maybe good, maybe bad, will probably check out a few of them. Right now I've simply got too many SP games sucking up my free time. MGSV, Pillars of Eternity, Diablo 3, Victor Vran, Wasteland 2... and still a bit of FFXIV here and there.
Oh, and Sword Coast Legends, but the community is what will make or break that game, so I'll be playing it by ear.
It's a good time to be a gamer, especially if CRPGs are your thing. Lots of awesome stuff out there right now, with plenty more on the way. About damn time, IMO.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!
We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.

The community will make or break any multiplayer game, one like SC:L is actually less depending on it than a MMO, for that one you just new to find a few good players you can run it with, in a MMO you have a hard time avoiding morons.
I think we will have some campaigns run by the community here, I will certainly run some of you guys through my campaign once it is ready at least. I will avoid running random PUGs through Steam though.
You obviously misunderstood. The op is hyped for all these same old Asian MMO's and less hyped for Camelot Unchained, which I think will be better than all of the Asian mmos combined....hence smh.
Okay gotchya, yeah it was hard to tell whether you were speaking for yourself or the OP. Thanks for clarifying, I agree for what it's worth. I'm looking forward to Camelot Unchained, even if it's considered a niche game.
Although I think Blade and Soul might be a bit of a sleeper hit with the 1v1 PvP type crowd, and the grindy pve fans. I kind of enjoy both play styles as long as the artwork, and game play support the atmosphere of the pve grind, that makes it more enjoyable for me.
I think I just had a seizure from all the flashing over the top animations in the Revelations trailer... Too much!
And then Dragon Dogma just cracks me up. All the characters in the trailer are either white or extremely pale white, yet they are speaking what I assume is Korean. I have heard that many Asians have a fascination with Caucasians and Western lifestyle but this is laughable.
Frankly, the Asian stuff is new and different. Blade and Soul is beautiful and allows for some frequent customization. Not thrilled with the keymapping. I pray I can alter it.
Hello my lovely community recently I announced that I'm finally done with 3 MMO's I've been rotating through the years and I don't think anything that's released can hold a candle to all of what's coming on the market, anyways...ENJOY!
My 10 MMORPG's on my hype meter are (in no particular order):
Let me get is straight... Because YOU have 10 MMOs on YOUR radar WE have to say OUR MMOs goodbye?
It does look pretty fun but I hope the animations are alpha because they were really bad. Besides that it looked like something I could play, I am certainly a huge CIV fan.
I think I just had a seizure from all the flashing over the top animations in the Revelations trailer... Too much!

1) Its Japanese
2) Those are player characters in the trailer which the people playing happened to make look "too white" for you, but there is plenty of customization which includes making very asian looking characters, black characters, hispanic looking characters, and even midgets with heads that are much too big for their bodies or someone with a massive torso and a teeny little head and limbs (it's actually kind of a letdown that they allow you to make some of the extremely awkward looking choices they do rather than keeping it more realistic, but not a big deal to me).
3) Its made by Capcom. Not exactly known for making all of their games loaded with nothing but asian characters. Street Fighter, Megaman, Resident Evil, etc.
4) Japan in particular has a lot of ties to western cultures, ESPECIALLY Germany. In fact its kind of rare to see Japanese games that don't have some sort of German influence in them, espcially when it comes to naming things. For example the Xenosaga trilogy with the German names for each game (Der Wille Zur Macht, Jenseits von Gut und Bose, and Also Sprach Zarathustra) and the Erde-Kaiser mech. Or just take a look at how much German stuff pops up in many animes such as Attack on Titan or Fullmetal Alchemist. Japan's relationship with Germany was a major factor in the industrialization / modernization of the country in the 1900s and German influence is seen throughout many aspects of their culture, not just in gaming.

Dragon's Dogma Online is a Japanese game that has only been released in Japan, which is why the characters are speaking Japanese. The characters look Caucasian because the game is set in a kind of fantasy medieval European world, and in the first game at any rate many of the monsters were taken from Greek/European mythology like cyclops, basilisk, and chimera.
The game has pretty good character customization, so players can make non-European looking toons if they want, but from a lore perspective the npcs being European makes complete sense.
Hello my lovely community recently I announced that I'm finally done with 3 MMO's I've been rotating through the years and I don't think anything that's released can hold a candle to all of what's coming on the market, anyways...ENJOY!
My 10 MMORPG's on my hype meter are (in no particular order):
Dragon Dogma
Revelations
Black Desert
Bless
Lost Ark (ARPG, but still amazing)
Star Citizen
The Divison
Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade
Lineage Eternal (ARPG)
Finally...No Man's Sky
Other good MMO's that will come that I'm not overhyped about:
Blade & Soul
Everquest Next
The Repopulation
Camelot Unchained
Tree of Savior
Albion Online
Peria Chronicles / Chronicles of Elyria
So which ones have been released and proven their quality.
All I see are alpha "buy our stuff in the shop but we don't have a game yet" kickstarters and Asian manga grinders.
Or is this another "these games are going to be the beste EVAH!" hype with 90% of thes egames dying within a year again like they usually do?
"going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win"
Unless the scope of No Man's Sky drastically changed since the last interviews I read, I don't know why you have this lumped in with MMOs. The devs said you'd be lucky to ever run into another person based on how the universe is procedurally generated.
Actually I just found an interview around the time of E3:
Jill: Are characters pre-made, or customizable? What was the reasoning for the decision?
Murray: So you don't get to see yourself in the game, which was a very specific decision we made early on. We wanted it so that you only see the world through your own eyes. No Man's Sky isn't an MMO. Who or what you are is down to your own interpretation, rather than us giving you set guidelines on it in the way a character creator would. That's super important to us.
No mans sky is not an mmo and Dragon Dogma is only on PS3 & PS4 in Japan. Bless might not even hit these shores. Dragon Dogma isn't being released in Europe or NA, only the original single player version of the game is being released on PC and then there is no mention of the online feature of the game.
Not 1 of those are worth a dam as an MMO. Its sad to see how much you people get Hyped for games. Has the last 8+ years have not thought you anything? We dont need more MMOs we need less and we need publishers to stop making MMOs the market cannot handle the number that is currently out right now. What makes you think any of these will be any better than the countless we have on the market right now?
Glad you said it first. Not one of those game's looks worth anyone's time to me. They all look like 1 or 2 month games to me. What i want now from companies is more open world single player games like Skyrim but in all different settings.
Im afraid the OP's list ist the best we can expect in the next 3 years, they may be not mega hits (except SC maybe), but most of them look good (graphically) and solid. for the asian MMOs (Korean) lets hope they will adjust them right for the western market.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
I'm looking forward to...the GW2 expansion. None of the others coming out interesting me, though my guildies have been saying good things about Black Desert. I'm fairly happy with FFXIV and GW2 at the moment, though.
Throwing in another one - Moonlight Blade (from Wuxia). No idea if it's going to be released over here, but that doesn't seem to be the point of the OP's thread :-)

More Asian MMOs....just what the genre needs. Hyped for these but not Camelot Unchained.....smh.
No offense but we're pretty tapped on medieval/D&D stuff. Granted, I would still play them if any of them offered the customization I crave. I am a RPG'er.
Frankly, the Asian stuff is new and different. Blade and Soul is beautiful and allows for some frequent customization. Not thrilled with the keymapping. I pray I can alter it. Yes, I too am worried about it being a grindfest.
Funny thing is I haven't heard or seen some of the games listed initially. I assume because they're in Asia. If so, that's part of the problem. Jesus! We're globalized in every other way, but MMOs! They might be better.
I agree with the person who stated we have so many. That's true. It's like an argument I had with people concerning another piece of tech, just because you have many more 'options' does not make them actually worthy of being labeled options.
Who is "we"? I can tolerate the Asian style, what I cannot tolerate is they typically make shit MMO's and they all look/feel the same.
All you do is complain huh?
Some pretty awesome MMOs on that list, BnS and Albion for sure and in the near future will check those out.
Lost Ark and Lineage Eternal have me excited. Curious to which I will like more. For awhile I was all about Lineage, the combat looks much better in Lineage I feel, however the setting is war, war, war ravaged wastelands, and war.
It's a lot of stone, dirt, and sand. Lost Ark is much more pretty.
Black Desert lost me... it was supposed to be a Sandbox not a multiplayer Themepark with added single player sandbox.
Now Playing: Bless / Summoners War Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile
Couple non MMO's listed... one of which you admit. No Man's Sky is not an MMO. Devs clearly stated its like an open lobby and not a fully shared world (though others are in the same world to some extent). Also, The Division is not, and never has been an MMO.
This is like the GOP going on in the USA where like 10-20 people are running for the presidental chair. There are like dozen or so good MMO's and dozen or so ok MMO's on "paper" atm. I'm confident though with WOW losing big portion of the market as well as the genre being at the state as it is, at least one of those MMO's will be very successful and finally deliver a truly long lasting and enjoyable experience worth spending every cent on.
I would always prefer a scenario where I got multiple superb choices to be part of over not having a single one, which is how I've felt for a while now. I know WOW has failed me, I know FFXIV has failed me by copying WOW, but more about its pathetic launch and lack of PvP in a casual themepark game. The game already feels dated on a 6+ years old technology. Guild Wars 2 finally releasing an expansion after 3 years, which in my opinion is unacceptable for a themepark, content dependant MMO.
Heck, why not a Sherlock Holmes MMO where players play private detectives, policemen and master criminals in the late 19th century? Solving or getting away with crimes, that would be different and fun.
Because players won't spend time & energy to set up interesting crime to solve. And if you have professional devs doing that, you may as well just do an adventure game (like Crime & Punishment). There is little reason to do it as a MMO.

Don't worry you can.
Skyforge is holding me over but I'm looking forward to Camelot Unchained, Crowfall and Star Citizen.
I had fun once, it was terrible.
