Game Doldrums
I hope a spelled that right..whateva. I also know I’m posting againg but…again whateva. I just wanted to chat about this.
Online games have let me down alot. I’m pretty sure at this point I am not sure I want to play any (although…strangely enough ragnarok online is calling to me cus it seems to have mostly stayed the same). Anyway, they seem more and more these days like bad sequals or something. Remember TMNT the first movie, it was decent (yes it was…if it wasn’t your no geek and well…shoo!) and I still watch it now and again. Now TMNT 2 was pretty much…well it was worse. The story stunk in it but a think people liked it almost as much due to the mutants and junk but it was kinda worse. Now look at TMNT 3…er…try not to but think…well don’t do that you may get brain dmg. Now compare this to how online rpgs are when they start and after they have had a few expansions. It hurts my head. UO used to be wicked cool…the bank was kinda annoying with the spamming…but if you wanted to buy something you knew where to go. Now the streets are empty except for player vendor housing runes. EQ just tacks on more garbage to get new people or some such nonsense…it just sucks either way. Star Wars Galaxies…I wont even talk…just think if they made a TMNT 4…and you had to eat broken glass while watching. Dark Age of Camelot…they kinda screwed it up but it still has the basic concept and is still pretty fun. WoW…still good but pretty boring for the most part (I know…I wanna play RO…but at least that’s social) but also…they have an expansion where the new race is the same model with different skin….wow blizzard don’t work to hard! I don’t know about the others but they probably have the same problems. I also get on these games for some interaction with people (I know I’m pathetic) and that’s a dissappointment as well. I don’t know what I was thinking…people behind player sprites are as horrid as people in the flesh. I guess I just expected more…I usually don’t try to just use someone and then go “phew, got what I needed, lata”. Also…I’ve been looking at my anime/console game collection and I realized I haven’t watched or played much of them. I think part of it is it’s easier to play computer so me and mel can “watch” TV and she can crochet. I would have liked a house on UO…but I’m not sure I really wanna play…the one game mel played like crazy with me was RO (which is fine by me, really) and UO is sorta frustrating to learn…so I may propose…either no MMORPG’s or RO. Either way…Dragon Quest VIII you are getting your arse beat! Eh…we’ll see. Oh and the biggest let down of all times…Horizons is really laggy. Now…anyone who knows me knows that my all time favorite fictional thing is Dragons. I like em more than robots, more than undead…I just love the big fellas. Now in Horizons you can be a dragon…that’s right you can be one! Well I had a heartattack when I found out. You start as about a human sized whelp and work your way up to adult and yes you do get as big as a castle and can fly. You can even shapeshift into a drakonian form. Anyway…if I ever find out they fixed the massive server lag problems…I may go play that game it was fun when I was actually hitting what I was targeting or not frozen. Anyway, just wanted to say, MMORPG’s suck mostly because the DEV’s can’t leave stuff the way it is when it is awesome. Anyway…enough of that, I may try a free trial of horizons and see if they fixed it. Or maybe I’ll say screw it and watch my wife play fable (man I love doing that!). Well that’s about it for this post. Afterwards.
