However, it looks like NCSoft is going one step further to prove worthy within the MMO space. It's simply marvelous, it's freaking marvelous! Certainly keen to upgrade next year.

Wow, this game is certainly looking less like a "WoW with wings" that I've been hearing it is.

Well I watched that entire video. Aion is easily hands down the most graphically impressive MMO. However, I didn't really come away with any info other than it looks like they are adding player housing and player built towns.

I'd consider Dragon Age PC game of the year before Aion or L4D2.

I don't really know what to say except wow. That trailer had a little bit of everything in it. What awed me most was the conistency of the art-style as it kept getting bigger and bigger. That along with the abundance of cool ideas underneath it all.

It nails quite a lot to show the benefits of being a PC Gamer. Though I'm aware some users don't admire MMORPG's on this board, it is however looking to really improve upon a current build of the game that has establish great responses among the community. You can even say the game is a bit underrated, due to it's background from Korean development.

It looks bleak currently to sustain a large audience from the WoW space, but I have to say at this point that Aion(Including the new upcoming updates) looks much more interesting than World of Warcraft for me personally, granted I have played WoW for quite some time.

I think I'd vote Braid. It's short and doesn't have much of any replay value, but it messed with my head in ways no other game has done in a long time, and the game occasionally managed to make me feel like an idiot for not immediately seeing the answers to puzzles that were elegant in their simplicity. It was great while it lasted. :P (I do think Aion is a great game though, and yes, I know that Braid was released on the 360 last year.)

Recently released games like Assassins Creed 2 are some how managing to be nominated for GOTY(are people even playing these games anymore instead of a couple of hours into play?). Aion wouldn't stand a chance to steal an award from a game like Modern Warfare 2, where Activision has too much money and power to make the mainstream eat out of their hands to get what they want.

This. Aion was great. (i say was cause i'm currently too broke/busy to pay the monthly fee) Looks like I might have to actually go out and get a time card before this expansion hits, maybe get back into it.

It's just another MMORPG hiding behind the so call "new features". In the end, it's all about leveling to death just to compete with others. Lame...

Yeah when I tried Aion, it didn't really have anything new to bring to the table. Yes i'm aware of the flying, but it takes more than adding flying to make a new and interesting MMO.

I apologize for my ignorance but....this is an expansion correct? Seems pretty soon with the NA release being new. And btw...anyone judging the game by that trailer, that is a WRONG thing to do. I've done my fair share of MMO's and Aion in it's current state is almost lackluster in every way I see possible. Little to no end-game, the PvP is broken, leveling is more boring than any other MMO I have played.

I am tired of WoW as well, I've canceled my sub for months, and Aion was NOT the solution.... just for a little insight though, I have recently bought Age of Conan to fulfill some of my MMO taste. After getting a character in Aion to 40, and now multiple toons in the 30's/40's in AoC, AoC is a MUCH MUCH better game mmo-wise. I will argue that the AoC universe even looks way better than Aion, *only* thing holding AoC back imo is the player base...apparantly that rough launch they had just slaughtered them.

Yes, Aion is visually impressive and there's great detail put into the unique fantasy environment. Too bad that the gameplay is the same as every other MMO. I don't think it deserves GOTY. I'm certain it will win artistic/graphics area because of how unique it is.

Dragon Age should win IMO. I dont have ps3 but people say uncharted 2 was pretty good as well. Some how i have a feeling MW 2 might take it......OH god i hope not.

And Aion brings absolutely nothing new to the MMO genre. It has better graphics than most mmo's out there but better graphics won't make it a better experience.

It's extremely difficult for a brand new MMO to win PC GOTY, besides, from what I've read Aion isn't even all that great.

I regret buying aion, i almost want to say that world of warcraft got better graphics? Why?

Since Aion is so very empty, like plastic paper.

Aion = Free asian mmo you need to pay for. It was a bigger letdown than AoC.

Which already exist in half the MMO's out there. The fact that WoW hasn't incorporated it is a testament to Blizzard's lazyness :P

UC2 is 5 hours of fun, then you never want to play it again. This goes for both the single player and multiplayer. I liked it alot, and although I don't find DA:O too fun, I can see why others would, and it is easily the better game.

Also, I agree with your statement on Aion. Developers need to do something new and innovative if they don't want their entire playerbase to return to WoW.

Its a very fun MMO, but imo Dragon Age is hands down the game of the year, by a long shot.

With that being said, that video looks awesome! The differnece is pretty intense! Thanks for posting it Mario! You always have the best threads on here!

Clearly you didn't play it for more than an hour. Aion is a good game if you dont start it up going "this game is going to suck" and not give it a chance.

Idk why its considered a JOKE but I really enjoy Aion. Sure, it has its sharp end, but atleast i didn't get to 50 in one month.... whats the point of that? If i wanted easy mode i would go back to playing Super Mario Bros 3 with a million Leaves and 20 Stars. seriously.

It shouldn't be game of the year i dont think, but it is an excellent game. i have been playing since launch and I am having fun with it. I think it might pick up an award for best graphics, they are top notch.

As much as I like Aion, I would prefer their subscribers go to some of the more established and deservingMMOs, specifically LOTRO, Age of Conan, and EVE.

With that said, the trailer looks great and Aion is a good game. I hope it continues to grow and stays strong for years to come

Aion has no chance. It's gameplay is the same as in any other MMORPG. (I played about 10 MMORPG`s and I can tell). It's not revolutionary enough. GOTY will go to Dragon Age : Origins, Batman AA or MW2(doesn't deserve it). L4D2 won't have a chance either because it's simply lacking in some parts. It has really nice gameplay (like it's predecessor) but they went back on some things (no legs, crappier sounds, poor animations, and poor artistic design).

MMOs take longer to review than a SP Campaign game... I prefer them to take their time so they can play plenty of AION before producing a report.

I'm also going to agree with the sentiment that GS isn't in the wrong here for not having an Aion review up but for a different reason. Because it seems they've been stepping up their pc reviews as a whole. As I see reviews for two heavy pc eccentric titles like Shattered Horizon and Machinarium on their pc page. Along with the much underlooked console port of Ninja Blade. And then there was Force Unleashed - the pc version was the only that got a review for its new edition.

I am not an Aion player. Yet. This video blew me away. Graphics aside, player housing, player built towns, possible player generated quests, tameble and trainable mounts, a whole underwater world with cities and hubs, the weather oh the weather...and what looks like a melee monk class maybe Diablo 3 inspired?=p

The trailer looks pretty, but when it comes down to it, it's still an empty, soulless MMO. You feel like a nobody running around a fake world, and that's just not what a good RPG is.

I didn't play enough AION yet to say that's it's soulless so I don't know. Running around a fake world? aren't all MMO Worlds fake? as in virtual? lol... But anyway, to the point in your post....the only ONLY MMO I believe that has a living breathing world is LOTRO...
