So... Who thinks WoW is one of the most overrated games ever?

Let's face it, this game is just a boring grind. It's a grind from 1-80, then it's a gear grind after that. Why is this game praised so much? I enjoyed Age of Conan more than I enjoyed this crap. Now before anyone says I didn't give it a try, I actually did reach level 80 and actually did raid for a bit and the game is still boring. Are people just giving this game high scores because It says Warcraft or Blizzard on the box? Seems like it.

Yeah, there are plenty of superior MMORPG's out there.

how can i trust your opinion when you have a mortal kombat thing in your sig?

I know because mortal online was so...yeah it was bad

And darkfall it will be the ultima...yeah it sucked too

but what about that aion 1.5...it was small and ok i guess

And FF 14 man that game...that was just downright bad

And war will replace DAoC and be the greatest pvp...no it sucked, still sucked, will alway suck because current mythic and andy the spin guy cant do anything

Yep so many good mmo's that destroy wow. It is obviously a conspiracy and not becuase most mmo's like mortal online, the cheap item shot grinders, and so on are meh at best.

Please, tell us which one you're talking about. Oh Mr ConsoleFanboy?

Lord of the Rings Online, EVE Online, Lineage 2.

Never played it, but everyone I know who has been addicted to it says they liked it because it was so fun. The numbers don't lie for this MMO, and it's not just hype. Millions of people love playing this game over and over and over again.

[QUOTE="waltefmoney"]

Guild Wars, EVE Online, Lineage 2.

CAPSROGUE

Hahahahaha.

That kind of response(which I think can get you modded) leads me to believe you haven't played those games.

I think you sig really says everything that needs to be said about your tastes: You enjoy pointless juvenile violence. Its pretty much the only high point of Age of Conan. Now if it could only add in actual fun...

i have renewed my subscription to be ready for cataclysm. logged in last night for the first time in over a year and it just came flooding back how much i love the game and just forgot how nice it looks. if you don't like it just don't play it. its easy. imo no its not overrated at all.

Age of Conan's PvP is incredibly fun.

Sure, removed. I doubt you've played any of those games.

I'm sure it's good to some, but it was so mindnumbingly boring I installed and deleted the free trial on the same day.

I enjoyed City of Heroes more, but after the novelty of these MMO's wears off it becomes apparent that the gameplay just leaves so much to be desired.After hearing such good things about DC:Universe, I'm very excited for it though.

What would be amazing if one of the console creaters would create a single player game that let's the character choose their superpowers, and then let them loose in a sandbox (with co-op support :) ) Like a godly love child of Infamous, City of Heroes and Crackdown.

Guild wars is not an MMOdog_dirt

According to the gaming press(including websites that focus only on MMO's), it is.

WoW is a great game. If only they had'nt made it so accesable..... the community suffered greatly from that.

"According to" the game mechanics, it's not. What some guys say on it is irrelevant in the wake of hard facts.

Even developers themselves have said it's not an MMO.

Wrong. Believe it or not people actually enjoy more than one game genre. Shocking I know. Now, care to come at me with a real argument this time?

Im not sure the classification matters. Its an issue of semantics. Whether or not its an MMO matters little for or against the argument because its peripheral to the argument posted.

You can try playing it for a change. It is 5 dollars to buy the first one and you get the month for free. I sincerely say that in it's current state the game is fantastic, there are tons of fun quests. Considering the genre, it is the best game of it.

Heh. But fair enough, a lot of people don't see Guild Wars as an MMO, so I guess I should edit the list.

Indeed, many people make the mistake of treating it like a single player game. The real fun only really starts with temwork amongst friends or at least "friends". partying with self-serving randoms does not guarantee a good impression ;)

waltefmoney

There's nothing to "Heh" about. If you dispute the validity of that statement, you're disputing your whole previous post.

Besides, developers know a thing or two more about a game THEY developed rather than some gaming illiterate game on the net (talking about the reviewers, don't take it personally).

The guy can "Heh" all he wants. Seriously who cares if it's called an MMO or not?

If you don't care, why are you bothering posting this in the first place and don't simply accept things as they've been stated?

What? Your sig is of a fighting game. AoC is an MMORPG. Clearly, those are already two different genres of games. But considering you chose to highlight the pointless violence of the upcoming MK game (an historically poor fighting series since after the SNES days) makes the correlation of AoC - another game with tons of pointless violence - fairly clear.

But fine, you want a more concrete argument: Show me a bigger grind in WoW than faction grinding or rare trophies in AoC.

Didn't make it that far in AoC. Don't know if that makes WoW sound better or worse.

That explains alot. You're were still in the "honeymoon" phase of AoC.

No it isn't overrated... it takes a lot of your time unfortunatly to raid properly but if you make a good group of friends it is one of the best gaming experiences you can have, its all down to who you play it with at the end of the day however.

When it was first released it was far from overrated. People only say it is overrated because it has been around for long.

Let's see a few of the things that make WoW such an amazing MMO:

• Without a doubt, by far the MMO with the most content on the market. I don't think any other MMO comes even close to the amount of Quests, PVP, Raiding, Professions, Monsters that WoW has.

• A massively huge world with beautiful artwork that doesn't require a strong computer to work. Easily accessible specs for anyone.

• Very user friendly. No other MMO is as easy to get into as WoW is. Even the noobest of players can easily manage to get through the game.

• Gameplay. I have played a couple of MMOs and none has gameplay as intuitive as WoW does. The interface is indredibly well made and easy to use, the spells/actions work marvelously, it doesn't feel clunky like a lot of other MMOs do.

I played WoW for a total of about 120-150 days. It's addicting as hell (which is why it is so succesful and always makes people want to play some more) and when an MMO has 11 million subscribers, you know they must have done something dang right to get there.

Whether or not the game itself is overrated I don't know. I have never played it, and I probably never will because I hate MMOs with a passion. However, its social impact alone makes it one of the defining games of last genre, and seeing as millions of people still enjoy the game on a daily basis, it must be doing something right.

And like any other MMOs, WoW:

- is a big grindfest; you grind for levels and items, which is why it is too time consuming for normal people to play this game.

- is not story driven. - has the same stupid fantasy contents, such as Elves, Dwarfs, and magics.

- is based on Medieval theme and the aforementioned fantasy settings

- is not innovative because they are using the same gameplay---Grow skills, click 'n' kill, PVP,, etc.
