  • This game still seems like vaporware, but if it comes out I might give it a try.

    If you like bunny hopping, that's your thing. But you really shouldn't whine about people who don't.

    My preference is an FPS that requires thinking about a battle in a larger sense. About the flow of battle, and where you (and more importantly) your squad would be best placed and when. Not so much interested in whether I can successfully move my mouse 3 inches precicesly in the right direction and time in order to head shot some kid who can double tap 3 keys. Speed is security, but bunny hopping has always been such a freak of gaming dynamics. Did any army anywhere in real life ever win a battle, much less a war, by training their troops to bunny hop? Do the marines require that you bunnyhop before you go into active duty? Is that a part of hellweek now?

    Not that I want games to be so real that they aren't fun, but I'd prefer not to have to rely on ridiculous mechanics to win.

    As such, I prefer personally the backstab. I prefer sneaking around, and shooting only if I have too. I prefer using a knife or a sniper rifle because I am not a human aim bot. I wasn't even when I was 16 and had better eyesight. I prefer staying out of sight and scouting. Speed is security in games with bunnyhopping. It isn't so much when you have to think as well as you aim to win. Bunnyhopping games tend to be pretty brainless.

    Far be it for anyone to like another type of gameplay though. So stick to the bunnyhopping if you like it. There isn't really anything wrong with it, it's just not for everyone. And it certainly isn't for placing yourself above other people just because you happen to be good at it.

    In any case, could someone clue me in to what ADP is?

  • The engineer looks awsome. The white lion looks really fun. I'm also liking the squig herder, the goblin shaman, and the magus.

    They all look like fun.

• • EA Mythic and Blizzard are the only truly quality mmo gaming companies out there

  • Honestly, any company that has an MMO out for more than 3 years, has a subscription rate of over 200,000 at ANY time, and doesn't just go bankrupt?

    Should by all accounts be considered successful. Other than WoW and Lineage, the MMO market is a cast-iron bitch of a thing. No amount of whining will change that MMOs are STILL a niche market product, with every MMO in the world being lucky to get any revenue, let alone 200,000 + and several years of successful server operation.

    But no, I don't think they are the only two companies that are successful. I think Mythic is successful in that they seem to be the only company out there to listen to their playerbase AND create a AAA game, and blizzard... well, 10 million subscribers is a huge accomplishment, all crappy gameplay aside.

• • Why dont you guys think EA will ruin your game?

  • Honestly, I think EA has some good and bad companies under their management.

    Mythic isn't one of the bad ones. DAOC is doing insanely good game-wise now, and that is all because of Mythic and the fact that they listened to the players (probably gonna head back and play it again if/when classic old-style RvR is re-instated). They may not have a huge playerbase, but the game itself is very polished and has been for a year now.

    The flip side is that EA has some high profile idiots on tap as well.  DICE for instance, is a crappy company, and makes continually buggy games which make EA a lot of money thanks to their awesome advertising alone, but do nothing for EA's rep because of how phenominally buggy and crappy the games tend to be.

    I've learned to wait and see. And so we will.
