    I would vote 0 for Aion also.  Dremac, can't the same be said about Darkfall?  I mean seriously, two games way up there in rank with no one from either game in beta... LOL  go figure!  I believe they should remove hype level on these games until the games are in beta.

     

    Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

    "Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

    I suppose, I know nothing about Darkfall.  And I agree, before beta there's no way to even have a good idea what the game will end up looking like when it's actually released, which is why I haven't voted on Aion.

    some of the video are the actual gameplay, the graphic is very nice, but however graphic isn't everything, just wait till it launched.

    First, unlike you, I don't go around voting the lowest I can for games and tossing juvenile insults at them like you just did for Age of Conan so I have no reason to know what the minimum possible vote is. 

    Second, you think that when this game goes beta I'll regret my view that people should wait until a game goes beta to hype it?  So you think that beta will be the same as we see now, just be people running around looking pretty?  Whatever you say chief.

    Third, if you really want to support a game, don't go around giving people the impression that the community will be composed of  raving fanboy lunatics.  You're probably scaring more people away from this game than you are encouraging anyone to be excited about it.

    LOLZORZ!!!

    That there's funny, I don't care who you are....

    ER..anyway, the only thing I look at hype on this site for, is that generally if a game has over a 6 the graphics are decent enough to bother checking the game out, other than that the ratings are unfortunately useless.

    Don th want to argue with any one but it stupid to say something about something you even haven tried  only had a quick look at

    Sadly most people here in mmorpg do that (shame on them)

    Personally im gonna w8 till the game comes out ( or i have played it ) and then say something about  it

    I am actually very happy to be scaring away noobs that might play Aion, i just hate it when they vote on Aion without knowing Sh!t first,

    See, the more noobs i scare away.. the better the community will be for aion, so please.. to make Aion better, Make sure you dont play!

    Haha great.  Now I have something to link to when people ask me what a "fanboi" is.  Thanks!

    But seriously, one little troll isn't going to scare anyone away from a game.  I'll still give this game a fair shot when it comes out like I would any other game.  And really, if you want to support this game do it a favor and stop posting about it, nobody wants to play with people like you who fling insults at anyone that isn't 100% in love with a game.  That's a not a "noob" that's a normal person.  Grow up.

    Aye this game has very high chance to be a crap like Tabula rasa or Auto assault, so there is no point of hyping it. Should wait till release.

    What is that based on? You have zero foundation for that. Besides, TR isn't crap. It's "okay".

    All previously released games from the development studio developing AION (not the same one as TR or AA) have been instant hits - even if this one gameplay-wise is going to be different.

    Foundation is: Auto assault was a crap and now it's closed. Tr is boring and ppl give up on this game already. Gw is played because it's almost free(no monthy fee).

    .............

    Okay.. i don't want to be really mean...

    So you were talking bout Foundation...

    Ok..

    Auto Assault, developed by Net Devil and.... published by NCsoft.

    (RG) Tabula Rasa, developed by Destination Game (Austin) and... published by NCsoft.

    Aion: Tower of Eternity, developed by NCsoft SEOUL and published by  NCsoft

     

    so.. what does your so called  "foundation" is talking about?

    Maybe the game doesn't interested you.? Ok.. maybe.. fine.. just let it be.. 

    so...Why do you even bother to start a post that you think it has a highly chance to be a crap?

    Looks like Aion has jumped a few spots in the hype meter. Good! Hopefully they will release a good amount of info at TGS.

  • CaladonCaladon Member Posts: 152

    they're not going to tokyo this year, dont think they did last year either (i read it on aionsource). That show is mostly about console games anyway.

    Why do you care about Hype so much? If this game will be good a lot of people will come to play it.

    Can't really get importance of hype at all.

    I think a person enjoys that a game he follows has a high hype for the following reasons:

    * It helps showing you're right when you speak only good of the game, as others are likely to do so aswell.

    * It's a ridiculous part of the ever-going "which game is better?" feud, even though it doesnt indicate anything worth noticing.

    * It shows that others are following and anticipating the game too.

    * It shows that other people have seen the good things about the game.

    * It could help the developers realize "heck, we must be doing something right".

    ...and probably many more reasons.

    The flaw is that it's not really representative of anything except for this little community's fanboism's current focus. :) I could care less however, as i keep coming back.

    "heck, we must be doing something right" - I hope koreans think something like that sometimes rather then "farm? farm? farm, farm, farm!, farm!".



    You know, all of those rating are nothing. Why? Because EQ2 has high ratings if you look at the "good" game ratings. I hate everything about EQ2, I played this game for a 2 monthes in the beginning and another 2 few times ago with all addons and I really hate this game, it annoys me very much.



    Other ppl like this game. That's why all of those ratings mean nothing for me.



    If you want to find a good game, don't listen to others and check it by yourself to be sure for 100%.

    It's very, very hard to believe that koreans can make a good game. RF Online had my hopes to be a good one and then failed, ArchLord did the same, LA2 too, then Cabal. They failed too many times.

    So you're saying western games can't fail? What happened to Vanguard? Matrix Online? Auto Assault? Dark & Light? Generalizing eastern developed games is as bad as generalizing western games.

     

     

    The only thing that is important here is that Aion is developed also for a western, casual audience, whereas the most (I would believe all) of the ones you mentioned above were not. The developers have stated time after time how they have been made aware of modern players' demands on content, story and depth in games. Because RF Online was a shallow "cookie cutter" grinder, doesn't mean Aion will be. Just as Dark & Light which was a buggy horror from hell doesn't mean Age of Conan will be. Perpetual made the not-very-successful DDO, but returned with LOTRO. Despite of what we think of the individual cases presented by me here, generalization is bad. So let's refrain from it. I hope we're better than that.

     

    And as always, "good" is subjective.

    1: Fixed it for you

    2: There are over 100 (possibly 200) Korean MMO's. You're judging all of them based on those few games...?
