[QUOTE="xLittlekillx"]

[QUOTE="DanielDust"]Nope, you have 7 thousand quests per faction (of course with some neutrals) do you really think somebody needs to do 7 thousand quests to get to lvl 85? and loot is what drives any RPG/space simulator/MMO, you always need better gear or better parts for your ship. MMO games aren't more repetitive than singleplayer games, they're just too big to hide their flaws, you'd really expect WoW to feel as fresh as a good part of the 32 hours Witcher 2 takes considering that WoW has 4K hours to offer minus mindless raiding, mindless dungeon runs and a lot of pvp.DanielDust

That's a bad comparison. The Witcher 2 is so much better than WoW.

It's a great comparison, even better than I hoped for, it shows you don't actually think about this "problem" at all, it's not hard to comprehend if you actually try...but yeah it's harder than "insert random MMO misinformation and childish hate".

Whoah settle down buddy. Instead of attacking me like a rabid beast, tell me why it's a great comparison.

Gonna have to disagree with you on that one. I can guarantee you that the skyrim I'll be playing next year won't be the same skyrim that I've been playing for the past 3 months. Same thing with STALKER, paradox games (just because they're dynamic, not because of mods, but mods too), terraria, evochron (I play the mp a lot, so I guess it's like an mmo), arma 2, I could keep going.

Skyrim is going to be the same game, apart from DLCs and mods, you could play the game 3 years in a row and it's always going to be the same world with the same graphics. You might say it's cause it's dynamic, but it's still the same game. An MMO is different because they actually add complete new worlds, characters, sometimes graphics, items, sounds and gameplay with patches and expansions.

this.

I'm glad you brought this back up. I just noticed that this guys says that adding new characters, graphics, spells, items, sounds and gameplay to skyrim won't make it a different game, but MMOs are different because they'll have new graphics, items, sounds and gameplay added. That's a weird thing to say.

I still disagree. WoW is always wow, no matter how many expansion packs come out for it. There are different skins and different invisible dice being rolled, but it's still the same game. Maybe a sandbox mmo can turn into totally different games, but so can sandbox single player games.

Yes, the MMO will still play out the same way. For example WoW will still have quests and spells, but it will be in a completely new world, with completely new monsters, new quests, new gameplay mechanisms, new story and new abilities. I really can't understand how you don't get the comparison.

I guess you don't know how to read English properly.

I didn't say that, go back and read my posts again.

Okay, stop with the personal attacks. I don't know what your problem is, but get a grip. You DID say that. You said skyrim will always be the same world with the same graphics, which isn't actually true because there will be mods that literally change every aspect of the game. Meaning there will be new graphics, new items, new monsters, new sounds, new spells. Blah blah blah. All of the things you claim make an MMO last longer than Skyrim. My assertation is that MMOs get so much replay value for totally different reasons, including grinding and the social aspects. It's weird to me that you're ignoring those things and going for a weird argument about replay value, especially when you're using a comparison to a game like Skyrim, which is one of the most replayable games in years.

Yes, every game is the same game without anything added to it of course. The difference I see is that an MMO has constant updates (even weekly sometimes), plus patches and expansion and fixes. Like a constant customer service inside the game. Think of that + the costs it takes to keep all the servers and staff and I believe $15 a month isn't something out of this world. There are services on Earth that cost much more than $15 and offer less.

Skyrim has new mods added every single day.

And I'm not saying that MMOs are charging the fee for nothing. I'm just of the viewpoint that I'm not going to pay $15 a month to play a game when I can play games that I own without subscription fees and usually have more fun. That's all.

Finally !!! Yes, you can decide to play an MMO with friends, other online players, dungeons/raids, an auction house etc and pay $15 a month. OR You can decide to play Skyrim with mods by yourself since it's a single player game. Some people find Skyrim SP more fun (like you), others find an MMO with online players and friends more fun.
