I think the reason you're seeing all those posts is because the game sucks
mike B has a TERA patch on his man bag. the site is biased towards their viewers. they tend to agree with them so they don't lose them.
I've got the straight edge.
On his what?
the big man purse he carries around.
I've got the straight edge.
WoW players used to tab targeting in pvp. This is the same stie that said they could not do a Rift show because there were not enough update.......yet like 3 of their shows are devoted to WoW.
Ah. Thank you for clarifying. I had a horrible mental imagine.
So what's the point in me caring what these so-called gaming journalists have to say? At the end of the day it's MY choice and I only care what my buddy thinks.
Peace.
I couldn't agree with you more. I went into the last Tera beta without playing the game and not expecting much. What I got was a tripple A MMORPG that is extremely polished with game changing combat. The guy is really undervaluing how good the combat is in this game.
What really has a chance to make this game successful is the PvP is offers. Hardcore PvPers are absolutely flocking to this game and the skilled PvP it offers. Along with the political system and if EME can keep things rolling I truly think this game has as good of a chance as any to be very successful.
Ya when you pvp its like a completely different game lol. Wish i can be as good as Hakurai and Fiona o.- got to pratice!!! damn it EME launch already o.-
The guy is a tool end of story.
the new trend on this forums, is to bash and troll any game that isen't GW2. not just Tera, but every other MMO is getting some high daily bashing as well.
some people are trying way too hard, to recruit players for GW2. so they will try to discourage or shase away, anyone who likes other games.
very true, and as we all know over hyped games tend to die due to ppl's hopes getting too high. then getting let down a few months later, sort of like what happened for a few swtor players. though I do love startwars, the game felt like a watered down version of wow with good voices acting. =(
yes Swtor comes to mind, i keep getting many Deya' vus with Gw2, the history repeats. the unreal ridiculous amount of hype is absurd.
the funny thing is, that once this people get bored of over praising their new game, and they realise, that the game is not theHoly Grail and the coming of the Messiah they think it is. they will hold tight their momentarly depression, and move onto the next MMO. rinse and repeat.
It breaks down to that MikeB finds it enjoyable cuz of the combat. The "TERA-ble" thing is kind of a joke with the site because Gary Gannon just could not get into it, so one week he declared it a bad game, and then the following week declared it the WoW-killer just for the lolz.
Stop taking other people's views on games so personal. Most of the Gamebreaker team doesnt like the game. I imagine most of the MMO-playing world doesnt like TERA. I also think it's fair to say there are a LOT more people interested in GW2 than TERA.
is just that some people fail to understand, that what may be great to them, it isen't for others.
even those games, that unanimously people consider a bad game. can be great for others.
for instance, i remember trying out EVE online and unistalling the game in less than 3 minutes. did i tell everyone i found and bumped into, how much the game sucks after that? hell no. the game wasen't for me.
some people fail to grasp the basic concept, that we humans are all different. we all like and dislike different things.
every MMO available and, the ones coming. have cons and pros.
The Gamebreaker guy makes some really good points. And after all it's his own opinion you have to understand not everyone is going to like YOUR favourite game.
Btw i'm kinda surprised to see a mmorpg website as big as gamebreaker.tv taking such a harsh stance on a videogame.
Since they are in the business i guess the easiest way is to say that every game is fun and every game is terrific. This way they won't anger fans and game developers.
But it's just being hypocrites.
So i'm glad the gamebreaker guys are speaking their minds.
Be honest and give me your opinion.
Let's just keep in mind it's HIS opinion and don't whine.
NO there are a lot of MMO with that level of complexity and even more. The point is that Archeage is a SANDBOX game (like Ultima, EVE, MO etc.) not a THEMEPARK like WoW, Tera, Rift, Swtor and Gw2.
And there is a reason why the sandbox games are niche and not very popular. It's not like they don't sound amazing... it's just that they are HUGE and i mean HUUUUUUGE timesink.
You have to invest too much time to have really fun in this kind of game so of course most of the people will just go in Themparks and have instant fun.
Archeage looks fun and i'm following his development but i'm 99% i won't play it (like the majority of this forum) because i don't have so much time for mmorpg (otherwise i would play EVE ONLINE right now)
I would very like to know why THEY whine. Let me remind you that the topic it is not about me. It is not like they have to play the game. The article is not a review it is bashing and yes whining as you said - I wont be playing the game boohooo. I dont care what you wont be playing.
Yes they are honest only about one game for other thousand it is not important.
The article was not a review and he never claimed it
It was just his honest opinion
Big deal
I don't get the whining about his opinion
Ok so I dont get your whining about my opinion. Big deal. It is just my "honest" opinion that they are relentlessly bashing the game... and I am getting tired of the "it is only an opinion" arguments, debates etc.
Wow.. do you even read your own posts before posting?
The title of it says it all. It's a response piece. It's not a review, and I think calling it 'bashing' the game is a bit of a stretch (or at least an overreaction). People asked them about TERA, and why they aren't covering it. The video is their response, plain and simple.
If you take a step back and look at it objectively, you'll notice that there isn't a whole lot they criticize the game for. The entire video basically comes down to 'we tried the game, it wasn't really for us, thus we aren't going to be covering it'. That's it. Is it really worth getting worked up over? There's a lot of people with the same opinion.
I mean, on the flip side they could cover it anyway, knowing full well the game isn't really for them, and thus be forced to actually bash it legitimately.
I guess my question to you is.. Don't all MMOs require some level of time investment to be successful at them? I understand it is a sandbox, and to be honest I always thought that's what an MMO was supposed to be. A world where the players create the environment, and not world where the environment was created for you, and you go on rides. Then again I grew up on Ultima Online, and Asheron's call. In regards to a sandbox being a time sink.. well I personally wouldn't even play an MMO unless I was going to invest real time into it. Also, even though sandbox games exist - most of them have missed the mark imo. EvE is a really great game, but like someone said before - you need a degree from MIT just to play the game. Also, I couldn't really get into the space thing. It got really old really quick. All of the other sandboxes that I can think of right now are either developed by indie companies and are severly lacking, or are extremely old. I think Archeage will be a great renewal to the potential and fun of the true mmo. These themeparks are honestly what is killing the genre. I may stand alone with this opinion, but I want to play an MMO where I can help create the world, and not just ride the rides that other people made.
Because IT IS an opinion and it was NOT a review like you said at first. You are just throwing a fit about "OMG they are not liking the game i like! They must be wrong and haters!"
I'm lol'ing hard at how a simple opinion (or as you like to say "bashing") on the game is sparkling so much whining.
Do they HAVE TO say "oh yes we love it! it's just great, Tera is so innovative and new!" even thought they don't feel like that?
Hypochrisy
The guy at gamebreaker tv was honest to himself and i respect that. And i enjoy to read the drama and whining he created.
And i will still play Tera.
Mmorpg are timesink.
It's just that sandbox mmorpg are WAY BIGGER timesink than themepark mmorg.
It's not about difficulty of the game: it's about the time to have fun. Why do you think battlegrounds are so popular? because instead of going around the world trying to find people to pvp with you can easily enter a battleground and have fast, dirty and simple fun for 30 minutes.
I don't have 8 hours a day to enjoy a sandpark. Like many others I can spend 1 hour at best and the themeparks like TERA are perfect for that.
That's why Archeage and the games like it while nice on paper will always be a niche.
If you think the TRUE mmorpg are the sandboxes and the themeparks like TERA are cancer ... FINE that's your opinion. And everyone has different preferences.
Ha if you enjoy the drama you should dig out how the hating even started. Then we can have both a laugh or two. Until then your "honest to himself" argument it is amusing only to me.
I think that's a pretty dramatic way to put it. I just think the genre has lost its way. Somehow we went from an open world for players to do whatever they want with pretty much no limitation - to a massively linear gaming structure that takes very little challenge or effort. Don't get me wrong. I've been playing themeparks for years. There are some good things to them. Just think we went the wrong direction. I will also be playing TERA.
It isn't the developers that lead the games to this point, it's the people who pay for them that have. They pay for easy instant gratification and don't pay ( as much or often ) for games that only reward someones hard work. Games go in the direction of money not what would be a better game long term.
