Nope, I can't see how any game on PC can ruin the console experience, vice-versa too.
I've been gaming on both since I can remember, and will always do so. Oh and I'm not touching WoW ever gain. The 10-hours trial I played was more than enough, those were some of the most boring 10 hours in videogames, i've ever had >_< |
So true. I don't particularly like MMOs, but WoW has to be the most boring game ever.
It's the only game I would describe as harmful. It should be banned instead of Gears of War, Crackdown, Dead Rising or Manhunt...

I'm not particulary fond of MMOs as well, even though I've played some free ones, but not for long sessions, as I get bored too soon. It's just a rinse and repeat mechanism over and over again, which strips RPGs of one of the basic pieces of the "soul" of RPGs: Story.
But WoW took it to a whole new level. Never before had I found a game in which I spent 10 hours literally doing the same thing over and over again. I even tried experiencing different classes and races to see if one of them had a different start, but each one was identical. You end stuck in area, hunting for X amount of things, to allow you to train some skills and gain some gold, then you do it all over again.
How someone can get suckered into it so much, that sometimes it destroys people's lives, it's trully beyond me. I agree that sometimes it becomes harmful, and there are even detox clinics for former WoW addicts. That's how bad it has come to.

Have you level capped and started endgame raiding/pvp? Because thats when WoW sucks you in...
BTW, WoW has a spectacular story...it just wasn't narrated with cutscenes and such like a Final Fantasy, so people had to actually read.
Blizz took a stept toward cutscenes now tho...not that great but its a start.

Yea, it's hard to like WoW after the 10 day trial. Imo the game doesn't start till endgame. I haven't tryed the parental timers but I know I wouldn't abide by them. When I used to arena it would always be like "1 more game to raise our ranking, then if we lost ok we need 2 more games to get our ranking back!" It never ended then heroic dailys would reset and I'd be lfm heroic occulus lol. I used to be in a end game raiding guild that was too hardcore as well. I just feel like when I'm not playing people are getting in raids getting better gear better pvp ranking etc so I never want to stop playing. On Sundays we used to start at 2 pm and end raiding at 12 am. It's really virtual crack.
The story is great too, since I played and beat all the WC RTS the story was relevant. I was excited to see Maiev, pissed to kill Illidan and KJ. It's like the RTS personalized for your character.
