alessandroMMO Shutdown [New World] Spurs Review-Bombing As Fans Slam Amazon's Greed
SW42I even played it a bit around launch… it was ok, very very repetitive though so lost interest pretty quickly. Also helped by some annoying design choices.
It really felt like someone was trying to recreate the LOTR games in an MMO in terms of visuals and playstyle but it just held ypu hand way too much.
Nobody cares. Nobody is slamming shit.
There are 3 nerds left screeching and as usual gaming sites amplify their screeching.
These posts are worthless garbage engagement bait. Feel bad.
The problem with new MMOs is that nobody wants to sink time into something that has an 80% chance of being shuttered in a few years
TattorackI don’t want to sink time into a kind of game that is one step above a point and click adventure game but with the constant need of repeating tasks like they’re house chores.
Ricky RigatoniThis is the exact kind of game I have the energy for these days but I’m not paying all the money they demand.
I hope the new world community has been working on private servers.
I’d sink the time into an MMO.
The problem for me with the last MMO I tried (Pantheon) is that a bunch of people would rather talk on Discord than type; and that straight up ruins MMOs for me. Discord can fuck off. I do not want to have my arm twisted to join your shitty discord server so that I can join your shitty voice chat, only to be forced into listening to a bunch of goons talking about their love of fascism and Nazi shit while I’m playing a game. MAGA fucks can never keep their shitty opinions to themselves so even in a game where I’m a half naked ogre beating the shit out of a pig, trying to gain some gold.
Try Clan Lord
CommiunismSurprised it took that long ngl, the game especially at the start was a dumpster fire that lost 95% of it’s players in like a couple if months
WashedupcynicFirst mistake those gamers made was trusting Amazon.
I played for a month or so when it first came out. I got the game for free, as I had pre-ordered it several years prior when it was first announced. It was originally going to be a monthly subscription, so they had the game listed for no cost for pre-orders for the initial week or so, then they decided to switch to a paid copy of the game and no monthly cost. Those who added it to their account during the initial announcement at $0 got to keep it.
I even got to play the beta a little before the official launch, and I could have played the alpha before that if I had remembered the game existed.
It is a beautifully rendered game, but the storyline felt lacking. Also, I’ve never really played an mmo before this one for any substantial length of time, so it might just not be my style of game. But I didn’t find it very engaging, aside from the visuals and the soundtrack which were both great.
The opensource engine behind it is really cool. The paint by numbers art used for it is unfortunate
The only MMOs I don’t return to are the ones whose companies / publishers do this sort of BS.
I only return to ones I can host myself, so basically just wow now, which I don’t play anymore.
Wouldn’t this work?
oh god that game was awesome when it launched.
Check out Fellowship, it’s WoW Mythic+ dungeons without the MMO grind.
One of us
tbf, I prefer the grind over chasing end game content. I like seeing my toons evolve and grow
There’s still a gear grind so you can progress in your item score, but you don’t have to kill 30 rats and run around farming herbs for 2 hours just to do a raid.
Amazon is greedy? Nobody could have known that back when new World released.
I had to Google as I thought this was another mmo from when I worked in the industry. I guess this means names are a bit generic (I got out of that industry in 2013). This is not one I'm familiar with. (I used to work on fan sites and tools to plot mob locations and quest items on maps and the like. Not the bad ones that had account/currency selling and such; we banned those people)
