I pretty much agree with the GS review. Aion was overhyped and overrated.zomglolcats
Definately agree with you.... i myself had a great vision of the game when it was released.. sadly it killed my vision when i found out it was heading me toward grinding for months

Wait, didn't it have to kill WoW :( ?

Yeah, fair and square. It was WAY overhyped and overrated in the beginning.

It's the only game that I'm really glad to see flop, together with MW2.

[QUOTE="yobaby2009"]

but i don't think so and many of my friends also agree with me.

its 9.5 guys 9.5 ,and you know what 9.5 rating means?

9.0-9.5: SuperbWe absolutely recommend any game in this range, especially to fans of that particular genre. However, games that score in the 9 range are also typically well suited to new players. Games that earn 9s are naturally uncommon, and earn GameSpot's Editors' Choice Award for their outstanding quality

Mograine

Dragon Age...very common to Fable and Oblivion?

What did you smoke when you played it? The differences between the games are abyssal, how can you even THINK about saying they are common?

And they are right. Bioware could have made a better UI and fix some balance issues (friggin Revenants!!), nothing else could have been better.

i smoke nothing but drunk a glass of milk for health purpose.

and by the way ,i think the way ofall various dialogues and the variation of these dialoges are being copied from fable and same combat ****as well and a lot of things..

why don't other games like dragon age aren't introducing some other newthings as fable did a long while.

i think fable is the daddy game of all rpg of such kind, including dragon age origins.

I can't agree with a 6.5. I never got incredibly high in level because I had to stop playing, but it seems to me it was at least a 7.5-8.5 game.

Plus, MMOs tend to get better as they get patched. I don't really like the idea of reviewing an MMO during its launch period, or even for the first 3-6 months of its life. MMOs require more time to be experienced. I really don't think they should get reviewed until the maximum level is reached.

Aion fails to be an entertaining MMORPG. I will compare it to the king of MMOs...World of Warcraft. First of all the quests are non-entertaining and there are no stories - WoW however has hundreds of fun quests, and about half of them are related to the history of Warcraft. There is a whole story about the horde, alliance, heroes and evil bosses for you to uncover. There isn't much to do except leveling. Only high level instances, no professions except crafting, not too much left to explore, PvP is laggy because Aion has cool graphics and it starts to reaaaally lag on a poor system and you'll see some players "teleport" from place to place - WoW has a lot of professions, lots of instances for all levels, lots of places to explore....WoW feels complete. Hundreds and hundreds of items (in Aion there are incredibly few items) to get, cool battlegrounds...I'm in a hurry while writing this so I'll jump to conclusion. There isn't much to do in Aion. The game tries to be entertaining but fails, and it gets boring. If WoW has a 9...then this game really deserves it's 6.5.

In all fairness, Blizzard had a decade of Warcraft history to fall back on when creating the WoW universe. It's a lot easier to develop a storyline for a world that already exists, than to create an entirely new world from scratch.

You've GOT to be joking. Not even my grandma could say something like that, and she's dead. The dialogues and combat are completely different. I mean, COMPLETELY different, you really have to get checked if you really think they are being copied :?

I read that review already. That's rather ridiculous. I say it should probably get an 8. If it wasn't so derivative of games that have come before, I'd say probably a 9. Playing instances is a ton of fun. If someone opted to play the whole game solo or something, that's not really a fair way to judge the game at all.

I'm not into MMOs and I'm patiently waiting for Guild Wars 2, but I did get my friends opinion on it.

He played WoW for 2 years, and thinks Aion is way better.

God I'm hating NCsoft at the moment. They're turning GW2 into an MMO, and I loved GW1 as it was - a heavily instanced RPG. NCsoft already have so many MMOs (and most of them are flops), I don't get why they keep pushing GW2 into the MMO direction.

9.5 for me the only beef i had with Aion is the bots and spams. But at least blocking the spams is much easier now. They should have at least WAITED till the graphics and content are updated.

Yes and no. Review is a good one in my opinion, however perhaps a 7/10 is in order?

6.5 was fair when the game came out. As of now, 5.5 sounds more accurate. Played almost 1k hours and can say the game has potential, but lacks in so many areas other mmo's succeed. There are some huge glitches that are constantly being exploited that make pvp pointless in one sense. The gear disparity is ridiculous in the higher levels. A few classes need their skills rebalanced which really isn't huge. The pvp architecture needs work. Events... Are a joke. People getting hacked and banned constantly. New pay magazine for in game items. I could go all day.

failed to mention that I do like the game and still play, it just needs lots of work which I don't see being done. Seems like they are just scrambling to add sub-par content just to maintain the player base.

I believe the ratings are fair: they do play through to the end on single-player games before writing a review.
