I am first to agree with those statements. PvE in most of the MMORPGs, maybe except for Champions Online (quests upon quests upon quests) and City of Heroes/Villains (task forces, saving the city/destroying the city), is:Caliostro said:
1. Grind two-three levels.
2. Sell loot, buy new equipment.
3. Grind more.
4. Buy equipment.
5. Grind...
So, basically, it's Diablo 2, but more boring, with slower pace of gameplay, pretending it's more than just killing monsters over and over.
Phf.
The times article is stupid. First of all, every video game can be described as random button pressing for a virtual... whatever. I've never played farmville, but I have a sneaking suspicion people only hate it because so many other people love it.
A good invention does what its suppose to do. A great invention does what its suppose to do and is very popular. A fantastic invention does what it's suppose to do, is very popular, and doesn't end up giving its users freaky cancer-like diseases.
Somehow farmville does what it does successfully enough to draw in the crowds (and I'd say about 3/4 of CEOs are lying scamming scumbags so that doesn't really fit into it), and it doesn't have any ill effects that other popular games don't have.
The fact that it's Time makes people think this is a real story. This is a stupid and sad reminder that print media keeps scraping at the lowest common denominator as it uses cheap "I Love the 80's" style lists to substitute for actual content.
I mean, the list includes Honegar, something no one would have heard of if not for the internet. This isn't a story. It's some lazy writer copy and pasting various bits and pieces from various internet sources, forming a list and slapping the Time label on it.
How can Farmville or Crocs be in a list along with un-things like honegar and the baby cage also be with Agent Orange or CFCs without the reader assuming it's a lame attempt at humor mixed in with some very serious things.
Granted, if it was a humor piece honestly trying to say Farmville was similar to Agent Orange, that would be another thing, but it's not. I can just picture people unfamiliar with internet culture reading this and thinking its a real thing...

Time you've consistently fallen down on the job, first letting 4chan have its way with you and now saying that Farmville and Virtual Boy are worse than things like Styrofoam, CFCs, and Zyklon B. Are you going to ever get back to being responsible journalists or are you just going to let /b/tards run you.
