Is it just me or are BioWare being extremely controversial recently? First the FFXIII thing, and now this, which is sure to piss quite a few MMO players off.
Agreed.
"Hey look at me, I want attention!"
That's the vibe I get from them. In order to feel successful, they seem to feel a need to bash others. Like jealous little children.
-10 respect points to Bioware (which had already lost 10 recently).
sorry if this has been addressed already and that im only quoting you as ive seen plenty of other misguided posts also, but bioware are generally the best at making RPG's. Most of their games have more interesting/fun/deep/compelling npc's than any other RPG around. I am extremely pleased to see that someone is interested in making a compelling mmorpg as it has never been done before! all of them are shit in my opinion...and anyone else with half a brain to be honest!! they reward you for spending money monthly and wasting your time by putting up some theoretical numbers. there is no story and no character to any characters/npc's and you repaet the exact same one or two missions with bigger and bigger numbers involved! no story/plot just a waste of time some of them arent even pretty to look at, the overly popular WOW for one is a badly rendered cartoon!!
Popularity is not an argument for quality! Only goes to show that the modern media is further succeeding in dumbing the mass populace in to buying and liking whatever they are told to! look at the modern pop music scene for example! Also other popular rpg's that are still great fun to play and are graphically good such as fallout 3 and oblivion yet the lack of character in the NPC's just lets the story fall flat on its face! They are supposed to be Non Player Character's but most of them should just be called Non Player's. These character's are the life of the story!(it rests on their heads!) if they arent compelling enough to get an emotional reaction out of the player then they have failed! Hands up who wiped out the towns in Fallout3 or oblivion out of boredom at some point? the only reason you regret doing it is because 1)the story/game that is, cant progress. and 2)you cant even steal their stuff as it magically dissapeers from their corpse to force you to play nice, as punishment for slaughtering the town!
The game should make you want to help out the NPC's with their problems because the are believeable characters/people. It should steer away from the player wanting to slaughter every NPC in the game out of boredom as it seems you are the only person in this world who does not walk around like an animatronic sex doll!
Bioware Have many humourous and fun characters in their games some characters you like so much you would risk your own characters life to save them! They have made some of the best RPG's around and their point here is well made. About time someone said it! unfortunately i think we are decades away from having the full technology to make a truly great MMORPG as what it should be, but will none the less look forward to this bioware attempt!
