Blizzard's New MMO Will "Blow People's Minds"

[Lt. Vinciti]

RIFT blew my mind....

Even after I fought the GF about paying for it...


What could Blizz do that would "blow my mind"....Im sure they arent worrying about its failure...

 

[Stammer]

Blizzard is seriously the best company that was ever made. They can make something so simple, probably costing them about ten cents to make, and turn it around into enormous profits.

The simple fact that they're coming right out and saying "We're gonna blow your mind" is probably completely true. It's going to take something that someone else made really well, tweak a few things to get a whole bus-load of people onto the bandwagon, and take it from there.

That's what they did with Starcraft. That's what they did with WoW. That's what they did with Starcraft II. And that's what they're going to do here.

Fire up the hype machines! Make sure everyone is in on this! IT HAS TO BE GOOD BLIZZARD MADE IT!

Give me a fucking break. Fuck blizzard.

Didn´t they first mention this MMO in the 2007? If so, they have been working on it for quite a while without giving out much of information

 

[fundayz]

The difference is the company making the claim.

If Blizzard, Bioware or Valve tells me "it'll be really, really good" then my objections are pretty much quashed right out of the gate.

Ion Storm, not so much.

I don't think I'd include BioWare in that list. Sure they make good games, but nothing out of this world.

MMOs drain your life people. Think of how many hours are wasted each day. A study done back in 200 shows that an average of 21 hours are used playing MMOs each week. With 12 million people playing its like 252 million man-hours wasted each week... and we wonder why theres no cure for (insert disease here).

OT: meh, I'll probably check it out if my PC can handle it.

Ironically enough, not a single quest in WoW involves killing giraffes.

 

[Canid117]

Lost Vikings MMO anyone?

 

[Roggen Bread]

Seriously - why do we need to get away from "slaughter X of type Y"?

If I just want to level a character very fast to enjoy the endgame I do not need big storys or complicated quests where I got to read the text first. I just want to need where to go und which dudes to kill.

 

[standokan]

Maybe it'll be for free so I can play it . *in denial*

 

[KazOondo]

If blizzard wants to make sure Titan doesn't steal WoW players they should make it so if you subscribe to one you subscribe to the other as well. One payment for each.

 

[Soods]

They're calling their own game good? It has to be über good then.
Call me blizzard fanboy or not, but I will surely be playing this.

 

[Blayze]

I'm hoping for a cyberpunk setting. I miss Shadowrun.

 

[Twad]

Wait, will people's minds be blown because it will be -that- good.. or -that- bad?

I might be curious if the battle system is more than blocks of stats fighting other blocks of stats.

 

[dancinginfernal]

Maybe they'll take the millions of dollars they received from World of Warcraft and make it play without subscription.

 

[icame]

And the hype machine starts a' rollin

 

[Kroxile]

*yawn* I wonder what they'll rip off this time. Or maybe they'll have you click crap really fast but do it in such a way that to the untrained eye it appears to be skills?

Seriously, blizzard has yet to do anything truly original or even remotely "mind blowing" so to say I have my doubts is putting it lightly to say the least.

Oh, I take it back... the only really mind blowing thing they've ever done was convince 12 million kids that their IPs are original or fresh.
