    I would say mosr people are correct about MO though.

    I just resubbed and wish I had not, still a buggy game, servers are down for hours at a time and mounts

    float when they run ><

     

    I can see what there trying to do, but the game needs another year or so of paid beta.

    I only write about games I've played although I will admit that some of my views may be outdated.  Other than speculation of course.

    The reason there are so many complaining about MO is more about the company (SV) and its unethical, shady tactics and its CEO (Henrick) who lies, hypes and rips off anyone he can. Its about false promises. Its about a game which has gone gold for over a year now and still has its basic systems bugged and unfinished.

    -There is a reason MO has more hate towards it than any game i've ever seen. There is a reason that this is one of the most active forums on mmorpg.com whilst the game itself barely has a population.

    I see what you are trying to do here though. Its the same thing as the fanboys/bots who come here and say "every MMO has some bugs" when people are listing the bugs which have remained or resurfaces from beta. 

    Nice try though =)

    I don't care about games I don't play so I don't comment on them. I've got better things to do!

    cant say i ever comented on a game i dont play, unless i have an interest in it in a positive way. take darkfall for example i comment on it but thats becuase im excited for 2.0 and not because i have had a bad experience with it. Games i dont like or do have bad experiences with i just try to forget about them.

    there are 2 types of mmo, imitators and innovaters.

    I overflow with pleasure reading slap, herc, pickle, pockets and raff. They usually express the problems with this game more coherently and factually than the people trying to defend it ever could. So indirectly I complain about games I (no longer) play.

  • GolelornGolelorn Member RarePosts: 1,395

    Yes, I complain about games I don't play.

     

    Just like I complain about previous employers I didn't enjoy working for, restaurants that let me down, previous cars that didn't live up to acceptable standards, businesses that I no longer frequent, and I'm sure I have more.

    Why wouldn't I complain about games I don't currently play? Obviously, I have complaints or I would still be playing it.

  • PioneerStewPioneerStew Member Posts: 874

    The truth is I have never played MO but I have heard it is horrible.  I also have never sung "The Music of the Night" but then Lloyd Webber is a tart.

    I complain about and praise a game as objectively as possible based on whatever experience I've had playing it, regardless of how little.  Even if you just beta test something, you are entitled to forming opinions about all the content you experienced in the beta test.  That's half the purpose of betas today.  While you can use content experienced in a beta to extrapolate an idea of what the rest of the game may be like, you can generally only form a concrete opinion about the content you've actually experienced.  That doesn't make your perceptions about other content completely fallacous, just not firmly established.

    For me, no, I wouldn't complain about games I haven't played. And I form my own opinions, based on my experience. I rarely if ever listen to others opinions as they are just that. I may like it. So, I try it for myself. In the case of Mortal Online, I played the trial, not for 10 minutes but for the duration of said trial, and in the end, to me, it's quite terrible. The worst MMO I've played since WW2 Online. 

    Being a fan of sandbox games myself, it's sad to see people have to play Mortal Online/Darkfall, hoping they get better because the options are limited. Can they get better? Sure. Should sandbox fans be paying to beta test games which should have never been launched? No.

    I've never run for political office, yet I regularly complain about the people who hold one.

    I've never fixed an automobile in my life, yet complain about mechanics who do a bad job of it.

    I've never had to bear a child, but I think I speak with authority when I say it hurts like a bitch.

    See, people can read, watch, think, and reflect about things they've never done and form an opinion on them, and yes, even share that opinion with others.

    Same thing with MMO's, I've never played STO, but know enough about it to believe Cryptic really screwed the pooch in building it.

    I've never played MO yet I know it's a half baked Indie title that's run by a company with questionable business practices.

    See what I did there?

    good read, thanks for the link.

     

    It's a very good point, some people just like to complain.  They justify it to themselves of course, by making believe they're a warrior for truth and goodness against xyz Evil Empire (read: misc. indy devs) , saying that "it's the principle of the thing", etc... but yeah, it's always the same thing.

    Yeah you are right SV and or MO have not warranted any crtic at all.

    Sure,  I see. You compared apples and oranges.

    I've never had to bear a child, but I think I speak with authority when I say it hurts like a bitch. That is one, fairly limited aspect of the experience. Some women choose to go through labor with no medication and find the entire experience rewarding.   Similarly, I can watch someone play EVE and tell you than the game is slowpaced, but only the person playing can tell you if it is worth it.

    See, people can read, watch, think, and reflect about things they've never done and form an opinion on them, and yes, even share that opinion with others. That is true, I'm just pointing out that criticizing a game that you don't play is similar to criticizing the politics of a foreign country or the handling of a car you haven't ridden in for a long time.  Certainly you can still make valid points about them, but....    "sometimes this leads to people complaining about bugs or bad systems that have been patched out months ago and are no longer an issue."

    On that last sentence, that's just poor research skills. There's plenty of current stuff to criticize and poke with a stick.

    I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

    Well I for one have never talked about a bug that is not cirrent.  I actually will go ingame and test to see if it is there.  So far my favorite bug or just bad coding is the yellow flag being tied only to the first character in name only.   You can delete that character make a new one and he will be yellow.
