Tough to make a MMO that is successful.



Around the Network

It was an interesting game but not nearly as engrossing as other MMOs. The best part was designing your hero.



City of Heroes was a phenomenal character creator attached to a completely mediocre game.



I just dont get why any company feels they have what it takes to make a profitable MMORPG. The cost/return ration isnt good unless you are WOW it seems. As much as I would love to see certain MMOs happen(40k RIP) I just dont think the genre has enough of a fanbase to warrant making more than 1 new MMO every 4-5 years.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
