General Vindictus Topic

[olicon]

So is this strictly PvE? Can you make different gender of the archetype (like say, a male mage)? Does everyone look pretty much the same?

I was very hyped when th game first showed up. It seems to not be a traditional MMOs like WoW. I think there are definitely lore in this game, but I'm not sure how far-reaching it is. I'm curious as to how good that aspect is?

 

[s0m3th1ng]

I'm enjoying it, only problem I've been having is the horrible lag when you ship with other people. The host has zero lag while I have no or one bar. I feel that aspect needs fixing, because I'm beginning to get into the areas that require teamwork.

For those that have asked, yes, the characters are gender-locked... kinda sucks, sure, but what do you want? A refund?

A game this good that doesn't cost the end-user a single friggin' penny doesn't come along very often... think the last one was tic-tac-toe?

Don't care for arena-style Battle of the Ancients-type games {or whatever that Warcraft 3 mod was...}, so on a personal level, your link and smiley are invalidated. >_>

My original statement could be, too, as it merely states an over-caffienated, slightly sleep deprived, and thoroughly biased opinion. I shall endeavor to keep those to myself in the future. :/

... How could my smiley be invalidated?

BITCHES LOVE SMILEY FACES!!! D:

Fair enough (and it's DotA: Defense of the Ancients); if you don't like arena games, LoL definitely isn't your bag. I personally didn't like Vindictus too much, but then again I can't stand button mashers.

You think that's bad? I'm waiting for the South American release... >_>

 

[Ace of Spades]

I've played it, and it's pretty good. Admittedly, it's quite repetitive since all of the combos for my character are just mash left click and occasionally throw in a right click, but it's really fun to *****-slap a werewolf and toss him into a group of his friends for massive damage.

 

[Catalyst6]

Eh, I got into the beta and wasn't incredibly impressed. Yeah, it was a competent game, but the fact that it's played entirely in instances already makes me feeling the grind muscles bulging again.

On an aside, how in the world did Valve get involved with this? Yeah, I can see Nexon, but Valve? Seems like an odd choice for them.

I remember it being called "Mabinogi Heroes"! I never would have thought that this was the game though. I just kind of forgot about it.

Also, I remember telling you this back at the beginning of the year, but I still think that your avatar is awesome. Long live Golden Sun! Specifically Alex!

yeah, it's the same game (it's still called "Mabinogi Heroes" in Korea if i remember correctly)

and i can never hear enough positive things about Golden Sun, Alex is definetly awesome

Battle, Defense... what's the difference? Don't get Webster involved, that was rhetorical... >_>

And I guess your previous smiley can be un-invalidated... invalidated smileys cause sad pandas, and I don't wanna be responsible for that.

Vindictus can be something of a button-masher, yes, I won't argue that. If such a thing isn't your cup-o-tea, like our friend Mr. Emu here, then you probably won't like it... technically, I'm not a huge button-masher fan meself, but something about this game keeps me interested. Not sure what, but I know it's more than just the jiggle-physics... well, at least I think so.

Still, it's free... so be cool, be hip, be like Mr. Emu, and at least give it a shot.

Its a free MMO, which means that its mostly all grind.

HOWEVER, the customability (new word) makes each instance a bit more entertaining. And its nice on the eyes!

OH, but on the negative side? Unless your hosting the party, or playing by yourself, the game LAAAAAAAAAAAAGS

 

[Liquid Ocelot]

I was in the Beta and never played it, don't really know why. It looks interesting enough, I guess.

Also, did you know the game was actually supposed to be called 'Mabinogi: Heroes'? I bet you didn't!

 

[Steamtech]

I've been playing it from the open Beta, and I gotta say, I really like it! I haven't found a lot of time for it recently, but its a lot of fun. My one wish is that they would have released all, or at least more of the characters at launch. I really want to see how they do the archer.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

I thought the system where you can complete missions with other people who have to complete the same missions was pretty innovative, but I haven't played many MMOs. I got a headache from the inventory system, though, which can probably be attributed to the same reason.

It's a Free-to-Play game and no offense to Free-to-Play games, but there always seems like there's something missing from them. In this case, they took a world and mashed it into a few "instances" which seems to negate the entire point of even having a world.

Part of the fascinating aspects of an MMORPG is the way the world interacts with itself - transportation time between places, traveling from point A and completing a quest at B since you have to get to C anyhow, people transporting goods back and forth or mining resources (economy) or situations like casually helping a newbie beat down a boss as you stroll down a road. It might not be the selling point they put on the box, but it's all there.

Vindictus has none of that. It's just several instances with a common meeting area. It's the same setup as a FPS on XBOX Live. Make a room. Wait in a room. People join. You start playing in a specific instance. It's kind of like an ADD gamer's MMORPG; cut the whole "Massive" aspect of an MMO, and remove the RP aspect from Role-playing Game and you have an MOG - Multiplayer Online Game.

All the extras they cut out that make a world, a world, all cost money. Since Free-to-Play means people like me can leech off of them, the whole business strategy of trimming some of that fat makes sense. It would have been more interesting though if they dropped the Free-to-Play aspect, built the whole world and then charged a standard rate for it.

I'll still play it, but it will just always feel like a casual game I can drop at a moment's notice. Not like any of the hard-core MMO's I've played in the past.
