all the hype on Vindictus is fake... but that goes for most mmos....
the bad: its not really an mmorpg, well at least it shouldnt be. as far as i know there is no pvp.
-------note-------
to access other stages you need silver coins in which you gain only by helping other people and collecting medals. meaning you must once ina while help out lower lvls. this could be a bad or a good depending on how you look at it.
my last thought is, nexon should have made this for a console. it would have sold many copies with good results. it just dont fit in as an mmorpg since theres no pvp at all.
if theres any game id relate vindictus to, it would have to be monster hunter. its all mission based and farming for creep parts for forging equipment.
