The response to the alpha seems really positive. I watched some streams and they exceeded my expectations. The Landmark game clearly isn't for everyone, but there is going to be a really strong following. I hope SOE has the insight to do these th…
You can poke fun that its derivative of minecraft or a 'minecraft with good graphics and massive multiplayer' but you cannot deny how awesome the idea of a minecraft mmo with amazing graphics is to many people.
That being said, they have work cut o…
Best way to approach SOE games (and other MMOs too); believe it when you see it. I really do think SWG, PS1, PS2 were good games. But SOE has a lot of broken promises and (#*@ games out too. So we'll see. Of course, if a true successor to SWG wa…
EQN is being designed for consoles.
The PS4 has about 1/10 of the power of modern gaming PCs.
Imagine your favorite sandbox MMO. I will imagine SWG, personally. Now imagine what they would have to do to it in order to put it on a console. Not just…
Did you see his expression when they asked about death? It is so obvious there is no death in landmark right now -at all- and they have no idea how it will work.
Landmark is how SOE is going to drain the PC gamers pockets and use them to develop their world for their PS4 game. Sony is dying and its starting to tap into SOE and demand they develop for the PS4, basically ruining any chance of the game having …
Totally destroys any chance of this game being good. I have never seen a good MMO on console. Although I think planetside -could- do it without being too watered down, it is much less likely that EQN could.
From what I can tell, Landmark is a gamification of the EQ Next developer tools. Players can just sorta build whatever they want, kinda like minecraft but much more sophisticated.
They can also rate each others creations, and the highest rated cre…
Being single player, it is inevitably boring. However, the sims is an excellent series. A really immersive, addicting experience. Has the new one really been announced?
I am a little concerned that they did not mention player housing at all. It sounds like players can create elaborate areas, possibly dungeons, but they will probably be instanced and players do not have to gather materials or money to create these …
Looks good so far, but we all know that doesn't count for much in the world of MMORPGs.
As for those already bashing it for not being enough of a sandbox, your expectations are too high, really. No AAA game will be as dynamic and sandboxy as you w…
I feel like trion has been sitting on this. It probably is because they are having financial problems that has prevented them from moving the localization along... Which does not bode well for their future. I wish them the best though and look fo…
People do agree. The games they reference simply aren't 100% sandbox or not sandbox. Most MMOs contain some sandbox elements, even if they are not 'sandbox games'.
Heres some examples of sandbox elements:
CoH: Mission Editor
EVE: economy, pvp, …
This was a great game. I never thought I would be the kind of person to like a game like this, which is even more testament to how high quality it is.
Sadly I did not have more time to spend on it in its hay-day. Now it is something of a wastelan…
Not playing anything right now.
Looking forward to ArcheAge and EQ Next. Also I am watching to changes to PS2 and GW2, both good games although not good enough to convince me to play regularly.
Great article I love to see all the excellent comments too! Too many great ones to mention. My experience has been very similar to all of you. Especially BigHatLogan when he said:
It makes it a lot easier to avoid MMORPG addiction since MMORPG…
I am sad there is some hate in this posts comments... I think it is pretty clever. Ideally people wouldn't need this sort of thing but whatever works works!
I have a hard time motivating myself to exercise as much as I want too, and so does every…
