      Seems like most popular but not very inspired or unique games released have the initial fanboy rush, yet if you talk to those same people in a couple years a significant portion couldn't care less about the game. At least that has been my experience with a variety of multiplayer titles, including some somewhat decent stuff like Remnant all the way down to games I found almost nothing redeeming about (i.e. Revelation, that MMO starting the letter A that closes down soon with a battle duck and lots of young female battle pets).

Anyhows, New World isnt a MMO, dont ever call this an MMO, there is nothing massive about it, with a cap of 2K players pr. server you cant even called it a multiplayer game if you ask me. This is a extra light version of a FPS wannabe MMO, game is too easy, same kind of quests whereever you go, skilltrees are a joke, max lvl within a week. Let me stop myself here, i could go on for hours, but who really cares. My suggestion is, go back and play some oldschool MMO, and have some fun with likeminded ppl, being it EQ, WOW, or whatever. You will defenately have more fun there, than playing Queue World. ;-)

    100% agree with you Mack. Having 6 skills is fine as long as those 6 skills develop in to stronger versions like in Elder Scrolls Online. Apparently it currently is the most played game on Steam! It's a good game but it's not that good that it makes you want to sink every spare minute you have in to it. MMOs and MMO communities have completely changed.. Sad story really.
    Dungeon runs in an MMO are a 100m sprint race.. Gone are the days where you used to take your time , buff each other and cautiously step through with the party leader... Join a group now and if you stop to look at something you get left behind.. They don't even stop to read the quest. Just accept it and sprint on..

    I agree wholeheartedly with this review, i managed about 6 or 6 hours before i got sick of running to and fro the same spots to do the same quests, becouse trhe combat is mindmumbingly boring, and the quests are probably less interntsing that wow in vanilla.

    I appreciate the honest review. I'm going to pass on this one but I will say don't knock a game because it doesn't have a WoW-style rotation for combat. I think action combat in MMO's has tremendous potential but still hasn't been implemented well. I don't want a 12-button rotation with a bunch of CD "oh shit" buttons personally. I personally like the idea of ESO combat, however it's so floaty, and the animations of the spells is boring that I can't play it. Either way, this review was enjoyable to watch due to your honesty, and it saved me some money, thanks!

      @@sierrahotel4632 Albiom online has different map zones with different pvp levels. Early zones don't allow you to fight. More dangerous later zones have PVP on but you don't lose loot and person gets bad karma for PVP (just like lineage 2) if he is constantly just slaughtering people, so everyone can kill him without penalty. And there are dark pvp zones where people lose their loot and such. Those areas have greater rewards, clan battles, etc.
      I found the combat system lackluster with too little abilities in albion online to keep me interested, but their free economy system that has few rules and this pvp zoning system really is fantastic. I tried the game in 2021 and it was really fun trying to be a trader, running from one city to another over a dangerous pvp zone. And that old game still has cities with so many players your screen gets flogged with them lol.
      It seems it handles the net code pretty well as well. They have a 100 player limit I think in one instance or something. So these things are still doable but with some limitations, rules and caviats.

      @@sierrahotel4632 Well, Albion online while fighting is a skill based game, abilities are mostly skillshots, just like in league of legends (just dumbed down a bit).
      You can miss your skill shot, you can dodge, you can stun the enemy just at the right time. Works perfectly fine most of the time if your ping is low (like mine).
      So I have to disagree with this mentality "it's completely impossible". Unless we are talking something like 100vs100, then maybe yes, I don't know.

I just couldn't ever justify extending a WOW subscription for such an ancient game. Not after spending like 100 on the disk plus who knows how much for one of the expansions which surprisingly required both a subscription and two other expansions to play.

    • @MareLooke
      @MareLooke 3 года назад +2

      It's because most create MMOs, not MMORPGs.
      Many no longer play to immerse themselves in the world, to be social with other people, to just create memories by doing "stuff". To just overcome the challenge a raid provides with like minded people (and enjoy that for what it is, regardless of whatever the hell anyone else is doing). To have "good games" in PvP just to have "good games", not to climb some arbitrary "ladder" that won't matter in a few months anyway.
      No, many players nowadays play to "win", whatever definition of "winning" applies to their chosen part of the game. It's a bit depressing how everything just *must* be competitive. Classes don't just need to be "viable", anything that's not "meta" is, by definition, "bad".
      It's really taken the RPG out of MMORPG and most MMOs really aren't really MMORPGs anymore as they forsook most of the RP, and social, elements completely.
      There are exceptions, obviously there's FF XIV, which does things the way they do because Yoshi-P actually plays (and, in fact, is one of the top raiders of his chosen class) the game he builds and has explicitly said they won't just cater to "endgame" (which, imho, is a ridiculous idea in itself)
      There's also GW2, which manages to be decent despite ArenaNet's (or NCSoft's, depending on your point of view) continuing efforts to sink the game.
      There's might be others I have less experience with (ESO comes to mind), so this is clearly not a comprehensive list. But the bottom line is that I do hope that WoW's decline in the public perception and FF XIV's rise means we can put the RPG back into MMORPG and focus more on what should matter in these kinds of games: the social aspect.

This is what pseudoliberalism does to the population who is simply stupid for the most part. It degenerates the idea of freedom to the idea that " I can do everything I want and you and other people can go fuck themselves". People no longer understand the distinction between good and evil because there simply isn't good and evil. Kids don't understand how society operates, they don't have any culture.

    I totally get where you're coming from with only having six skills, however if I recall correctly when I was playing my arcane mage during the cataclysm expansion my rotation was literally 1, 1,1,2, then my proc would go off so I press 3. And then I continue with 1,1,1,2 ..
    So sure a mage and wow has three times more abilities but in wow I only ever found myself using maybe four or five of them. Once the expansions kept going I didn't even need to use polymorph anymore.
    So it's possible that this game doesn't want to bloat up our action bar with a bunch of skills we're never going to use. Just a thought.

    this game would have exited me about 10 years ago. now, not so much. ive been there and did that all before. want something new and exiting and this is not it.
    EDIT:
    also, the moderators are pandering to the shits that have no respect for others becuase they know those are the shits that are likely to keep playing this game.

    The real queues were the queues we queued in along the way.

      That and Dragons Dogma Online. Both games were fantastic.

      Bloody loved LOTRO. Found that better than WoW.

    Thanks for the video. You always keep it real which is why your reviews are always very helpful. Request = Could you do a Worth-A-Buy on the current state of Last Epoch? Thanks!

    The best thing about this game is Mack’s juicy review, straight forward like always. But seriously f*** AAA games and the people that release them.

    Have to give it props though. From a technical standpoint, it plays really well and has very few bugs.
    My server has a ridiculous amount of pvp and it's a lot of fun.

    seems typical for this kind of game, poor quests and lackluster world building.

    Another game that doesn’t even come close to Skyrim Elder Scrolls.. I’ll be here with my mods for a few more years I’m sure :)

    That was damn close. I am downloading Horizon Zero Dawn as its on sale on steam and was pondering getting hold of New World. Then I saw you had a review out. I think you just saved me thirty five quid!

    There hasn't been a truly great MMO since Ultima Online. It's all just EverQuest clones.

      There was EverQuest 2, which WoW is a shallow clone of. Alas SOE neglected and then sold off that game so now it's some F2P carcass of what it used to be. Sad.
