No kids in AOC? What a joke...

No troll, just fact peoples.
I wonder what mature MMPRG lover will like the combat type which is focused on smashing 3 buttons. The game looks more focused to be played on consoles that on regular PC, from what I seen in the screenshots/movies.
Showing nudity in game, means is a mature game? honestly, for all of you playing game because of nudity, grow up, try to find a way in life, find a girlfriend.
I've seen most of you say "AoC is BETTER".. better that what? I dont get it, except from the really nice environment and graphics, I don't see anything else impressive in the game. But, I personally DON'T play a game only for that.
And, not everybody play a game to PVP, if i want to PVP I can play Crysis, COD4, and the list can continue.
I hope they will have an real open beta to give us all a chance how the game exactly is. And yes, I will not spend my money for game just because some funboys said "is much better that X".

Thanks for sharing but yeah your not going to change anything sorry.
I'm not sure you (the OP) developed your argument enough. What were you trying to say o accomplish? If you aren't' buying it, why did you bother to post at all (other than to troll, perhaps).
I don't think anyone currently thinking of playing AoC has ever really believed that the "M" Rating will keep away "kids". Prime reason for that = Many so-called "kids" are in fact well over 18/21 and have free access to the game. That point is pretty moot. The "mature" that creeps up constantly merely means that some people enjoy the lore and the setting, which, if you know the books and watch the game-world closely, is a "mature" background. What people -make- of that is something entirely different.
The rest of your post...sorry, that's been discussed to death in these Forums.
Get yourself a Buddy-Key or an Open-Beta Spot or a free Trial after launch and check it out is all I will say at this point.
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7
Mature rating and mature community are two different things. Normally M rating will get you anything but mature community. Quite simply AoC topless pixels beat WoW's stripper dancing night elves. Not a great thing imho.
As for button mashing, AoC goes on the console after PC release. More likely then not the game is designed to be cosnole compatible as I doubt they build up a whole parallel game. Again not a great thing imho.
I would suggest to wait and see but don't hope for too much above eye candy. AoC is flavour of the month game with lots of hype attached to it. I am not going to be surprised if number of fans try it, drop it and then move to WAR aiding the same process there.
The only reason I posted that, is because, I watch the that forum, and I AM interested to see how exactly the game is. MAYBE I will play it.
But, I see so much paranoia around it like the world will be over when the game will be released, and you are saved from a nightmare.
I suggest you all stay a bit relaxed.

What I was saying is that you looked at the 'zealot' fan side of things and argued from that perspective. There are lots of naysayers as well. Folks will or will not play it. I was looking for something in your OP that was different from what most of the negative posts about the game have been.If your idea was to say, "Everyone calm down and it will get here when it gets here", fine..but I didn't see that in the OP.
Just go ahead and delete your post and try again when you can come up with a fact.
I just loved how someone from Funcom said in an interview:
Rather than having two spreadsheets fighting each other, we have implemented a system in which you have to fight actively.
Well maybe he didn't say it in those exact same words, but his point is that your character stats doesn't matter the most. And I love to try out what he meant.
Just go ahead and delete your post and try again when you can come up with a fact.
Did you really read my post? Do it again please.
To address the OP's points.
3 button mashing? pretty much same in every game, and truthfully, that's an over-simplification, good players will learn to use more. Only time will tell its more or consoles.
I agree with you, the nudity will not bring more maturity, in fact, I suspect it will bring more juvenile behavior, in 0many cases from folks far older than 18
Not sure myself yet what might make AOC better than the rest. The PVP servers look like they might provide a more player oriented combat experience, but again, won't know till we get there.
As for the argument that shooters are better for PVP, totally different game style, totally different combat goals, they just aren't the same thing.
I too hope to try it before I buy, hence I'm not rushing out to pre-order.
BTW, when your first post is to start a thread with a caustic theme attacking a game you look like an alt account someone created just to troll.

Do the OP realises that his posts are a bit detached from the title he chose for this thread?
So, clearing up the above lets gets some things straight:
One last thing. Some people forget that none of us is the center of the universe. In fact, most of us are pretty unimportant in the grand sense of things. Keeping that in mind, our opinion about things can't be considered a universal truth and accepted by the rest, unless we're totally delusional.
I seriuosly doubt that anybody will buy this game just because of the nudity, if you want nudity there are a million and one ways to get that without haveing to buy a game to see it!
AoC is not just pvp, as i am sure you are well aware, and you say that if you want pvp then you can play FPSes, so what? I too play FPSs for PvP and if i like i will play AoC for Pvp as well, can i not enjoy both?
or is that taboo?
As for the combat, you say is a 3 button masher, i dont think it is, but even if you are correct, so what?
Every played Virtua Tennis? that has only 3 buttons but it is very enjoyable!
If you are not sure about the game just wait till it is released and see how it gets on and then make up your mind. Easy!
FPS games aren't the same kind of PvP that you find in mmorpg's. Point being that you are evolving a character in a persistent breathing world. Not to mention that there isn't an fps in the world that offers efficient melee fighting. Those games are purely built for shooting and melee is a option for those who like to be stealthy and lag their way around the map knifing people for badges(battlefield).
Just go ahead and delete your post and try again when you can come up with a fact.
Did you really read my post? Do it again please.
Yes, I did read your post.Would you like me to reiterate my reply in a simpler format?
To answer Kyleran, no mate, I am here from a while, but I never posted on forums.
I am just waiting to see if I receive the key today from Gamespot, I am curious also, how all of you are about the game. Browsing the forums i've seen so much "ZOMGLOL" and I could not resist to show my opinions.
MY mistake to post on that forum where is so much drama.
I will stop here. Have a nice day everybody.
I apologize for being rude. But, there are allot of Robert E. Howard fans here that have read his books since childhood, me for example
that have been waiting for a game like this. So, for me it's not just another game. It's a chance to see the world of Conan and actually be a part of it in a sense.
I hope they didn't just go for nudity...but GORE!
I don't care about the nudity, it's the gore that does give the game a M-rating. (well not in the USA perhaps)
Wow what a retard. Seriously.
O_o o_O
Ok, so you are a fan who basically sniped at the OP for pointing out probable issues in AoC rather then cheering it with the crowd.
OP made some valid points and I am one of those that hopes AoC will deliver above those probable issues. I am interested in possible game fun factor but I am certainly not going to be awed by Schwarzenegger clones wearing furry diapers.
Each to its own though.
Boobs and violence.
The mature rating has very little to do with the awesome, rocking tits, as it does with the gore, I believe. Go watch Developer Diary 3 I think it was on youtube -- might have been 4 -- what other game can brutally get eaten by monsters, or kick someone down and stab them slowly, hearing the penetration of their flesh as they scream?
Well the kids will still play...blood and boobs just adds to excitement for a kid.
I don't understand your facts??
The Conan IP comes with harshness, blood and gore, sexuality, and the dark mature environment that the game is going for. Without that it would just be another horribly boring fantasy/history setting like 99.9% of the games go for.
If you think the rating will keep kids out I doubt that will happen. Do you have the same complaint for GTA games? Maybe they should switch it to Grand Fireman Hero where you ride around and put out fires and save kittens?
As much as you want to slam it the combat system is still twitch based and everything is based off of your characters orientation. That means no sitting back with a character highlighted pressing 3, 4, 2, 3, 4 good job you beat the boss. That's pretty unique and original.
The graphics are really going to be quite impressive once they work out the DX10 kinks. No game coming out or out now is going for good graphics they are all gearing their games towards the lowest common denominator. That's fine if that is what you want, but not everyone wants to play on 5 year old graphic engine quality with a game as easy as solitaire.
PVP Sieges with guild cities haven't been to this scale either, and look to be really cool. Sure you can say Lineage 2 had it but let's not even go there.
Being able to ride a war mammoth into a group of people and stomp on them, or ride by on a horse attacking them as you go by? That's cool, and not done well anywhere else.
The Architect craft? How cool is that for players that are into that sort of thing??
They have already said there will be an Open Beta, and there is a 15,000 person PVP event this weekend. Do you think those people will have any reason not to break the NDA if their beta doesn't continue??
I'm sorry that AoC isn't what you are looking for but it is exactly what i've been waiting for.. Even if it has kinks to iron out the base system is there and can be built upon.
Well, sounds like you are a new poster, a troll would have a much thicker skin.
Which is what you need to have if you plan on posting on these forums regularly. We're passionate about our gaming, heck, we're passionate about arguing, put the two together and you get what we have here today.
You came across as antagonistic and challenging, (a normal troll characteristic) hence the tone of the replies you received by many folks here.
Opinions are rarely valued on this forum, especially if you try to pass them off as "fact". That said, everyone is more than welcome to have an opinion and I post mine here all the time.
I recall one of my first threads I created when I first joined was somewhat caustic to WAR. That drew me about 100+ flame posts regarding my lack of "knowledge" about the game and reading up before I post. I've since learned not to make that mistake and always try to do a bit of research in older threads and on other sites before opening a new thread on these forums.
In fact, I dare say despite my post count, I'll bet I've created less than 10 new threads in my entire time here. Rarely is a new one needed, most ideas in the forums have been done before.
