We can agree to disagree on the "dumb-down" on the genre, but have you had a chance to try POTBS yet? I have been VERY pleasantly surprised at the game, as it's like an updated version of Pirates with extensive MMO action. I've always loved that age of sail period in the Carribean, and this game nails it nicely. If you get a chance, check out the 14-day trail, you might like it. nothing to sway me from my WoW addiction, but it'll do as break from time to time. The problem with MMO's is thatthey take SO MUCH TIME, once you get into it. I'm going to buy like 10- 360 games this holiday season, but once WOTLK comes out, they are all gong to collect dust for months...most likely. |
Yeah tell me about it. I've been messing around with the added EQ2 content, the just did another game update yesterday, and I haven't been playing my 360 or Wii much at all lately. I need to hurry up and finish Tales of Vesperia before Tales of Symphonia: DotNW is released. Not to mention I have to pick up Infinite Undiscover sooner or later. I am actually glad IU is short. Vesperia is a long game with tons of sidequest and will require multiple play throughs for me to get everything.
I often wish I didn't play and MMO because it really monopolizes my free time for significant periods of time. In fact, I always tell people that are thinking of starting an MMO "DON'T!!!." MMO's are moving targets and you can never do everything and get everything in an MMO. Depending on your personality, you could end up ignoring family friends and other hobbies. I think thats part of the reason why console makers haven't really pushed MMOs. It could adversely effect their software sales.
