Too many games to play!

Is it just me or are we being deluge with so many games it's getting more and more difficult to pick a game and stick with it. Has our gaming taste become so jaded? Discuss.

    There are alot of games.
    But you don't even need all your fingers to count the decent ones on one hand.

    so many games out there - and yet, i cant find a single game thats worth playing - like 95% of the games are pure crap....  hopefully one of the "upcoming" games (LOTR Online/ AoC/ Warhammer/ Vangaued) - will be worth something :/

    I'm in the same boat. I've played so many, that i can't even count. But there are a couple I'm looking forward to. (e.g. Gods and Heroes)

    I know how it feels aswell it seems to me the best games around were the older ones.  I was and still am a huge Asheron's Call 1 fan.  Thats the game I came from and developed along that path most people come from either AC, EQ, UO.  I think I am finally ready for a new game that I can actually get into and play for sometime.  I played AC for about 3yrs, AO 1yrs, SWG 2yrs, DAoC 4yrs, with many other games in the middle that I possible played for a month or two then quit but those ones I posted above I actually got into and was able to play for awhile and fully embrace the games.  I like RF online atm because for one it gives a free 7-day trial with a download to the game this is just so I can experience and plan my buy or not I think most games should take on this trial period just to let the public get a taste of the game before maken the big jump into it.  But as of now I am really excited to see ArchLord coming out I've always visioned and wanted a game based on one person becoming a ruler of the world I love the idea.  So im proble going to jump into ArchLord and see how the actually gameplay of the game is and if its something I may plan on staying on.

    It's funny you listed so many games that are no comparison to L2 while not putting L2 on it. Nothing beats L2's Castle siege and artwork of graphics. Yes L2's PvE sux but so are the others, but that's all what the others have really while L2 still have Castle Siege.

  • PhippspPhippsp Member Posts: 3
    Dark Age of Camelot has castle siege?  Shadowbane has castle siege?  Alot of games have this type of gameplay in the present games we play.  L2 I never played it myself but I've heard good and bad from the game.  You say the PvE sucks well that is normal for a game and some gamers.  DAoC has some pretty bad PvE at times but it also has it very good PvE moments with some very cool RvR controlling land by taken castles and towers.  And controlling relics.

    Actually there are many crappy games flooding the market, none of which currently are playable. If there were a few good ones, that would be better.

    Yeah his list is pretty crappy, that's why I didn't comment on it. But since you started it!
    GW - Not even an MMO
    KO - I think "lmmfao" fits this game nicely
    Silkroad & Shadowbane - Both are good for being free. Too much grind in SO for me and Shadowbane has a crappy UI.

    CoX - Can't say anything personally. I've never heard anything bad about it.
    WoW - Lots of ppl play. Mind Numbing at best.
    RFO - Haven't played. Can't say anything about the workings of it.
    SWG - Didn't play Pre CU/NGE but CU/NGE fucking blows hard. Pre sounded very nice though.
    EQII - Turns off alot of ppl due to no PVP and the PVP they just put in is known to be pretty crappy. Haven't played this one either though. Doubt it's very good, for the fact that it was developed under SOE.

    I know. But do they have 1000+ players fighting at a single siege?
    Also L2 is 1 world, with no zone loading.

    Also their graphics aren't even close to L2's.

    Go watch a L2 Castle Siege video then tell me about it. I have posted download links to such videos multiple times, and there are also screenshots.

    RFO is pure L2 clone with actually inferior in both gameplay and artworks. He actually put this crappy clone on the list as "good" while L2 isn't on there...::::15::

    SRO is also a clone of typical MMO with nothing new. Just more and more grinding, with not so good PvP. Good graphics though.

    WOW...said enough about it. Completely nothing new, pretend to be the best purely by the number of MMO first time players who have no idea WOW is not even the #100 MMO after the first MMO being created. They thought it's something revolutionary while it is beyond laughable. Same old crappy grinding for PvE, meaningless crappy PvP, and silly graphics.

    EQII somehow a lot like WOW when I tried it in the term of PvE, graphics engine is very advanced even beyond
    L2's, but the artworks is nothing.

    GW is NOT a MMO, and GW is NOT free. Please tell me the store gave you a copy for $0.00.

    Knightonline...can't even see more than 10 meters ahead of me, can't even see the sky nor even look up, can only look down from above the character...same old endless grinding on the mobs walking around everywhere right outside towns.

    The devs even say it's not an MMO, look in the FAQ section it says something along the lines of "Guild Wars is not an MMORPG, we like to call it a CO-RPG" which fits it perfectly.

    GW does not have potential either, the game is good for what it is but if you are wanting to compare it with MMORPGs it pretty damn crappy. I mean crappy wouldn't be the word for it, it just plain out f'ing blows. But, it's not a MMORPG, it's an RPGFPS.

    RF Online is not a Lineage 2 clone. RF Online is a Factions VS Faction Vs Faction game just to start with. RF Online is potion spamming, Lineage 2 is not. L2 uses the classic level system, RF Online uses a mix between levels and PT's.

    Pre-nerf SWG is awesome back then you have the Creature Handler class which is one of the most popular pvp class next to Commando and probably Pistoller. The SWG redesign by SOE turned the game into mulch.

    So many games, so few worth a second look. MMOs seem to be stuck in a rut offering the exact same gameplay with one or two minor features differences and different graphics.

    I was disappointed big time too. I hope Turbine won't turn out another crap with LOTR online.
