Zero Punctuation: Age of Conan

I definitely have to agree with the necromancer sentiment. Stupid minions take up too much screen space. IMO, AoC got released without enough play testing. Or with beta testers who were (to quote Yahtzee) Pants-on-head-retarded. NEEDS MORE MINIONS. WHO WANTS STRONGER MINIONS WHEN YOU CAN HAVE MOAR?
After the comment about AoC a few videos back, I really wasn't expecting this one. I enjoyed it, although I don't think it was one of the best (reviews).

Funny to see this when The Escapist is fully skinned in Age of Conan ads... Decent review, but could have torn it to shreds more. I guess it would end up as general MMO bashing though, which while enjoyable has already been done.
Funny funny funny, as always. And your dead on about MMORPG's. I dont hate them either, playing them can be fun when your in the right mind-set. But I do hate how they treat their players, WoW has stolen some of my dearest friends away from not only me, but their familys and girlfriends aswell.
Cheers Yahtzee

Don't blame the game mate. I played wow more than was good for me, and you can't blame the game, the only one to blame is your own weak will.Goenitz said:
After this i'm really waiting for a good smackdown of EVE from Yahtzee. Or a loving. I don't know... Would be interesting to see nonetheless.
AoC was a very strange experience... It was trying to make the gameplay into something it's not, and that wore me out after just a week or 2 of casual (!) play. WoW is simply better at it, it doesn't try to hide it.

Funny as always. ^_^
For my part, there's only one MMO that I have really had time for, namely EVE Online. AoC completely failed to grab my attention at all, and from the looks of this review that state of affairs won't be changing any time soon.
I wonder if there's a way to design an MMO that encourages actual intelligent behaviour in its players? It'd be the breakthrough of all time...
And honestly, I'd prefer Yahtzee didn't review EVE. He might not like it, and then I'd have to battle the urge to write and patiently explain all its good points. I don't want to be one of those people.

Best review in a while and I find it adoreable that Yahtzee is finaly coming to terms that he doesn't just think WoW is a good game, he actualy seems to like it.
hehehe I liked the midsomer murders reference, the TV equivalent of of an MMO, boring, repetitive and making what 2 hours of your life back.
Not to spark off that debate, but he criticised MGS' story for slowing down the game. The Chzo series never had any delusions about being action packed or stuffed full of gameplay.Aries_Split said:
