Best HiveLeader video yet. Though I'm still strangely interested in trying this game out.

rofl. Thank you for giving these games the reviews they deserve. The era of the bland MMO cashgrab needs to end.

Yet another very funny video. I can see how overwhelmed you are by the vast amount of money and talent spent on RoI.... ^^

Amazing HiveLeader video, as always. And again he hits the nail on the head. Its everything you have come to expect in an old school MMO with slightly newer school graphics, lol. Sadly, its still the most playable game for me so far this year. I will be playing this one, but completely free, not gonna bother spending money on it. Great time waster until something better comes out, so maybe enjoy it for a couple months, thats all you can ask of an MMO nowadays. Totally worth playing, just dont get "too into it" and you wont be disappointed.

I wish more games that are tab target provided the action mode option.

I was sick on holding right click all the time in warcraft and I'm even sicker now that we have action mmos.

the ending is a good resume ....

It's pretty sad that i'm looking forward to this "mediocre" game more than i'm looking forward to Legion.

About that action combat: HiveLeader's got a point. It's not really action combat, since the camera sorta soft locks on a target.

that was amazingly hilarious.

JudgeUK

That was awesome. Definitely on a roll with recent reviews. The Deadpool one was brilliant.

Great review. Sums it up pretty well. MMO by the numbers...

ceratop001

Very funny review. I quit the game because I couldn't tame or mount Fairies.

And no that doesn't make me weird...

To each their own. never cared for slap stick comedy(dumb/dumber style) and this review is same. The things that pass as humor these days is almost as pathetic the current MMO Market. RoI isn't ground breaking by any stretch but its not a turd either. I'll probably play it til Legion releases, but then it will get benched.

It would be a fun game to play a few days every few months. Other than that this games is the same as every other MMO Out there. The only real good figure in the game is getting to right most monsters in the game. Other than that its meh.

If you still play and like WoW, you have no excuse to criticize RoI. It's the same package just with different character models. lol.

corvas

ehhh ... weird part is he is 100% right .... its .... its just plain, nothing special and nothing new and .... just so safe .... and ofc 6 yrs too late :P

I have had almost as much fun in games like this as AAA titles. Everything becomes bland and repetitive eventually. No game has blown it out of the park in a long time. In fact this whole genre has devolved into simply "time-killers". Notable exceptions are ESO, SWTOR, GW2, FFXIV. Everything else is basically Riders of Icarus quality. Or a Sandbox game pretending it's a sandbox, when it's really just a grindbox.

We love ya Hiveleader:P

dekkion1

i actually cant wait to play this i think it gets better as time goes on and as u get higher lvl too ...hmmm riding a fire breathing dragon ...im in.

Aethaeryn

I did find myself pressing "f" a lot. I actually found the game refreshing for not trying to be too refreshing.

jesteralways

How can you be so hilarious but at the same time so on point hivey? You deserve an oscar!!!

MagikrorriM

And yet again another preview that misses the part about the mounted pvp combat

senti02

I agree. Wildstar was the worst offender. Somehow do semi action combat while holding down the right click at all times...woot!

Funny video. Another quest hub tab target half assed MMO....color me excited!

Hariken

Wow from that video it does look pretty generic. The mounted flight combat is the only selling point and that would get old fast.
