Like most of you overweight teenagers with pimple problems, I am also looking for something to play (or a chick to jump on). WoW sure seems like it will come out by the time hell freezes over, and I see no reason not to play anything else till' December (which is my estimated retail date of WoW altho many of my peers disagree).
While browsing around, I learned a valuable lesson: FAQs may be the best source of quick info on a game, some of the questions are also insanely retarded. Lemee show you some of the stuff i've run into during the last half hour whilst cruising for something to play.
This is from The Matrix Online, or MxO as they call it. The abbreviation I personally think is pretty stupid, but no doubt brought cheers from nerds around the world. It’s funny because this game will fail miserably (IMHO), but not before selling millions of boxes solely because of its name (SWG ring a bell?). Lets look at their FAQ:
Are martial arts in the game?
There are several martial arts styles attainable within The Matrix Online. It wouldn't be The Matrix without the wire fu combat. The Matrix Online will feature cutting-edge martial arts experiences, including bare-knuckle fighting as well as combat with firearms.
The fact that there will be martial arts in this game baffles the mind. Im sure that everyone expected broadswords mixed with the everquest hit “bash” skill. /smirk
Are there agents in the game?
As in the Matrix movies, agents are a deadly threat in The Matrix Online. If you wander into the wrong area, any pedestrian could transform into an agent with little warning. And to quote Morpheus, "Every single man or woman who has stood their ground, everyone who has fought an agent… has died."
OF COURSE THERE WILL BE AGENTS YOU MILDLY SENILE MIDGET, DID YOU EXPECT ORC CAMPS FOR XP?
Will there be a subscription fee for The Matrix Online?
Yes. Once you register your copy of The Matrix Online, a monthly subscription fee will be charged for the service. Pricing plans will be announced at a later date.
Ah yes, here it is. If your customer is stupid enough to think a company works for free, you don’t want him to buy your product! (Then again Everquest has huge success stacking retards on blueservers so I suppose I could bve wrong!).
Are there plans for an expansion?
The Matrix Online will have regular updates, with new story, missions, and art content. There will be scheduled larger expansions as well, which will include new weapons and abilities.
Oh no sir, we already charged you for the first package. What kind of gaming company would CHARGE you for updates you’re entitled too by paying you’re monthly fee?. (that was sarcasm if you didn’t notice...another poke at EQ ;p).
Next up is Trials of Ascension. Look at the good stuff they have to offer!:
Weather System:
Even the world itself provides challenges, in the form of heat, cold, rain, snow, and dramatic natural disasters such as a rampaging tornado or bone-shaking earthquake. A wise explorer will take precautions against encountering such adverse conditions. An unwise explorer is unlikely to survive them.
That’s right ladies and gentlemen. This game is so exciting that the weather will be one of the greatest foes. Oh gee, where do I pre-order this picnic basket of excitement?
At the moment the gaming scene is really depressing. Sure, there are a few potential winners out there, but most of it is trash. Companies are realizing that it’s not about making a quality game, it’s about making an addictive treadmill. Make a game with medium to low quality gameplay, make pvp unavailable and you have a success. Sad but true. No controversy = easy money.
It’s not just insulting to the intellegence, it also breeds retarded people like the ones playing blue servers on Everquest (the sheep). We are talking about a group of folks that some see as successful because they have the 2 criteria it takes to compete on a bluebie server: unemployment and the feeble hope the girl character they see in game is a girl IRL. Because, let’s face it, the second playing a game takes effort and skill, the customers dwindle, pvp games are excellent examples of that. Knowing that I will probably spend the next few years in the company of whining carebears is making me tired.
I hate you all.
