I always thought WoW was fairly Diablo-like. I mean, if they did make Diablo Online or whatever, the mechanics would be very similar to WoW. Plus you would have to raid the Cow King for your epic sets of uber leetness. I think Blizzard has used u…
Blizzard is going to offcially announce at this year's E3 that Diablo 4 is in development for the Playstation 5, Xbox 1080, PC, and Nintendo Nuu (complete with sword-wielding controller). The game will launch at the suggested retail price of $100, …
I wasn't in SOG, so I don't have firsthand knowledge of how bad it was. I still think DnL has great potential. and I will probably try it out. But not before they put out an open beta or a free trial of it. I'm not going to blindly throw $40 at t…

That's exactly why I hope it succeeds. I'm not very optimistic, but I'm hopeful. If everything was based on what the majority wants, it would be a very dull …
That's interesting, because he has absolutely nothing to do with the game, so how would he know? The truth is somewhere in the middle, I'm sure. Either way, it's a dispute between employees and shouldn't have been made public in the first place.
After you get done with SOE, head on over to EA and wreck that piece of crap too.
I played SWG at release. It definitely wasn't flawless. I'd say it was just in a barely working condition. But it was still certainly better than the crap they've…
It was even more interesting 6 months ago when it was released. I can understand why Kishe holds a grudge against this game, because, like almost all games, it fell short of the original vision. But, as you said, you can't blame anyone but yoursel…
I have my Special Edition pre-ordered, and I'm ready to rock it. Xbox.com has recently updated the release date to 3-20-06. It might not be completely accurate, but I'd say it's pretty close. They are starting to release more info on it now, so i…
Seems someone is listening. It's not exactly what you asked for, but it might be a first step.

If you think that Shadowbane PvP was unbalanced, then you just made a gimped character. Shadowbane is the only game to take such care in making sure that PvP was balanced. And it worked. The rest of their implementation wasn't very good, but the …
Well, I would try it. I'd sign up for the beta or a trial, and see how it went. I have a tendency to blow a fuse when I play games, and I'm sure Permadeath might send me over the edge. But I'd give it a shot, because it would be the ultimate adre…
I've played a lot of games for a few days through trials and stuff that I quit. I can usually tell pretty quickly if the game is for me or not. But the ones I actually bought and quit in a month:
EverQuest - Probably could have given this mo…
I vote for Shadowbane. It had the potential to be the greatest thing ever. And it was still fun for a while. But bugs never got fixed, servers were horrible, exploits weren't fixed, and my biggest complaint....
One patch a month...tops. And ea…
I beta tested it also. And I've also played it recently, and they're two completely different games. If you haven't played since beta, try it again. It's vastly improved now. But most people for some reason, either love this game, or hate it. I…
You could try Irth Online. They have a 48 hour game-time trial. I'd be interested to hear what someone has to say about it that didn't have a preconceived notion of what to expect.
Ever play Shadowbane? That's pretty much how it works. Except, you don't take over a town that then produces your NPCs for you. You just burn it to the ground. I played for over a year when it released. It's hardcore PvP Maximus. They don't do…
32 hours is quite a long time, and you should probably get some free time out of it. But it burns me up when people talk about how bad the customer service at SOE or Blizzard is because their server goes down for an hour once a week or something. …
Since some people here are going to continue to kick this dead horse, I thought I'd chime in with another opinion that nobody cares about. I've been following Irth Online development for over a year now. Well over a year. And I know who most of t…
My guess is that if you've already gotten bored with WoW once, it won't take long the second time. Out of these choices, I'd suggest DAoC. Don't know what kind of player you are, PvE, PvP, Crafter, but every aspect of the game is deeper and more i…
