personally I understand the whole cross-platforming appeal but its not an easy thing to do since no system even if made by the same company(i.e. Xbox 360 and windows pc's). if companies really want to reach the console people aswell as the pc people the best thing is to do what EQ did back in the day. making a separate game for their console( Sony that is). Sure it would be fun to find a seamless way for both platformers and pc folk alike to mingle but lets face it that's the impossible journey unless every pc was made with the exact same specs. It's not so much that consoles are the problem the truth is that pc's are because no two pc's are alike where as consoles are alike in majority of ways.
I thought the idea of everquest online adventures being the PlayStation's own personal MMORPG made it that much better simply because it staid to the same basis as its pc counterpart while at the same time breaking console owners into the EQ and in some cases the MMORPG world. But companies will continue to try their best to make a MMO game cross-platform because the players keep wishing for it. But trust me on this it will be a long time before its perfected so don't expect greatness, always keep a bit of judging till you see it yourself or you'll be disappointed everytime.
I also believe that console gamers and pc gamers should stick together as gamers but not go looking for that amazing MMORPG or just any MMO to cross-platform perfectly the first time. I'm sure age of Conan will improve over time just be patient and hope for the best. The only game to cross-platform and survive the battle was Final Fantasy XI. Altho it should be noted that it didn't get there without a few hitches along the way.
One day we may see that breakthrough but till then be patient and just try to get through all the glitchy laggy screen punching hair pulling strain that some people will experience.
hey all I'm just now getting ready myself to try the 14 day trial and wont know anyone so I hope I can find friends fast.
I know this is EQ2 forum lol and were talking about LoTRO but on the EQ2 side I'll wait till i can get the new xpac I have all but the recent one they just released.
well thanks for the answers and I am right now getting ready to start the 14 day trial of LoTRO. infact it just finished updateing and I'm gonna jump in soon just to see how it goes. altho I wont know anyone on there lol none of my friends play it.
two quick questions is the new xpac for EQ2 a download or one I have to buy. second I keep hearing alot about LOTRonline is it really any good. I keep debateing on trying it right now i just got back into CoH/CoV and I'm actually starting to question it because well I want something deep and fun. EQ2 may lag for me because my PC isn't exactly high end.
Would you rather see a game release pushed back a year or have the game release witha few bugs that will be fixed?
