The PC version of the long awaited so-called WoW killer is almost here.
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6189776.htm
Now we'll see if all of the hype is actually worth it. I might check this one out if it'll run on my laptop. One of the beauties of WoW is that it had mega low PC requirements.
No word on the release of the 360 version of the game.

It might be decent but wont in any way kill WoW or even come close, nor will Warhammer.

lets start a guild!

i pre ordered it. Haven't gone to pick it up yet though. I heard it takes awhile to install....
-
I went out and picked it up yesterday. I wasn't 100% sure about it but I eventually caved much easier than I expected. After being burned by the Vanguard launch I was hesitant, but let me say that I do not regret buying AoC one bit. The combat is a refreshing change from previous MMOs. The best graphics on the MMO market & the gore/adult themes are just icing on the cake, and this game has easily the most entertaining newbie levels I have ever seen.

i just got back from best buy... I'm guessing this'll be a 4 hour ordeal :lol:

Early reviews that I've read havent been very good. I think I might wait for Warhammer.
-
Most of those early reviews that I found from customers were people complaining/crying about the early access limitation issues(or worse, reviews from people who only played during Beta). I almost died laughing from someone who rated the game a 1 on metareview who didn't even play the game yet because he has to wait on Amazon to send him his copy 8 days after launch. Of coarse he blames Funcom, but does that problem have any bearing on the game?
The other problem some are having is the fact that they don't have computers able to make the game run as great as they hoped. Some people that run WoW flawlessly think that their computers should be the mainstay of PC gaming forever, and it kills me to hear anyone talk badly about the performance of this game because those complaints are bull**** from my personal experiences thus far. This game, even on the lowest possible settings still blows WoW out of the water in terms of detail, textures, animation, and everything else you can muster visually.
About Warhammer, you will be waiting a while on that one, and I have read many bad comments about that game from early beta testers. It wouldn't surrpise me if their launch wasn't even as smooth as AoC even with their much less "PC demanding" game.
BTW, Metacritic thus far has User ratings at 8.3/10 with over 150 reviews already. When you factor in the unfair reviews(ignorant beta testers & people with axe to grind over Early access limitations) I think the reviews are better than you are giving credence to.

Start playing WoW, new expansion coming up ;)

Are you sold on playing on a FFA PVP server? Im still a bit confused myself due to the fact those PVE servers still have all of the major PVP elements in the game. I havn't been victim of spawncamping yet as Im still on Tortage island playing mostly during the night-time singleplayer element...but from what Ive been reading on various forums some people are up in arms over it. Im sure some kind of preventative measures will be put in anyways. -
No thanks, Im done with that for good. :up: -
-
ill post the server me and my friends will be on in case anyone wants to join.
-

-
Servers are listed to be back up at 4pm or so.
-
-
Derketo? -
Damnit, the servers are down for another 2 hours at least.
Did The Mor break the game? :cry: -
-
Apparently it's something very important and they are working non stop trying to solve it. -
damn game wont run on me laptop... i had a feeling. Welp... installing on the desktop now.
-
Servers back up!
I'm going to make a toon on Derketo named Phinz. Not sure on the class yet. -
-
Yeah, because everyone who plays video games(or is it only RPGs you have a quarrel with?) are virgins.....
But hey, your into Heavy Metal...the [insert your hardcore drug of choice here] support group is down the hall.
Why would you even post in here? Just to be a troll?Last edited: May 21, 2008 -
