EVE:Online>the rest

I guess youre right. I just dont see anything entertaining in click- dice roll- damage. Its the reason Diablo was fun in the 90's but is garbage now, and its the reason I think Oblivion should yiff in hell. Why put in combat if its not fun?

Well either you like RPGs or you dont. In RPG's combat is about the numbers and beating increasingly difficult enemies. Oblivion is an abomination since its tried to be an action game, but claims to be an RPG, and failing epicly at both.

I want old school rpg's like Fallout and Baldur's Gate.

I can see why Eve is great, i havent played it, but i have an idea it requires a massive amount of time if you want to do anything in the game,.

Not at all.  It's the opposite.  You don't have to spend 100 hours grinding to gain levels.  Levels are gained in realtime, even when you're not playing.  You just have to sign in to choose a new skill to train when the last one is finished.  It is a sophisticated game though.  You can join corporations, there's politics involved...  The game is slow to start.  Like say the first two to four weeks.  Where you need to learn prerequisite skills and collecting cash.  I did this by mining.  Once you join a corporation the game can be amazing.  When you know how to play no other game can touch it.  There's something to be said about spending time building a ship and upgrading it to be a gun boat and joining battles of 100+ ships just because your corporation doesn't get along with the other guys.

It's still the only true MMO available.  Everyone plays on one giant map.  If 30,000 people are paying the game they're all on the same map, minus the few playing on a test map.

They always have a free two week trial.  IMO that's not really enough time to really get into the higher game mechanics but it gives you an idea on how the game works.

So 2-4 weeks of boredom? I thought we were the generation of instant gratification.

I wouldn't say it's boring but it does take a while to get into everything the game has to offer.  I'm probably more patient than most people.  If I see the rewards are worth the wait, I'll wait.

It's such a sophisticated game.  Deciding where to place your loyalties is important. 

It takes longer to level in EVE than WoW, stfu, max level can be done in less than a day.  And WoW is supposed to be the game for people with no life, pfft.

Yahtzee has spoken

I think that Starcraft 2 will be worth the wait because I loved the first one and blizzard has always been worthy of my trust. Look at it this way: It's basically gonna be three games with interconnecting stories.

With 26-30 missions each i'm not complaining about spending a lot on the SC2 trilogy even if they take forever to make them.

BTW I'm new here and i'm Torr's older brother (about 2 years older) and also a friend of eddie (that crazy gingerkid, lol). I'm open to corrections.

So, Branbran, since there's two Johnsons here now, that evens out the playing field a bit.

Does this mean that we can segregate the forums based on how we feel about your guys' mom?

That reminds me.  Brandon, I need your phone number.

I don't like where this is going...


...and yet, much like a 32 car pileup in the interstate, I have to stay and watch.

Agent Ghost


That reminds me.  Brandon, I need your phone number.

why exactly do u need my number agent ghost?

So what dyu think of this -

Blizzard COO: We're not milking StarCraft 2


Methinks Paul Sams dost protest too much.  "*mumbles* it was a quality driven decision, it was..."

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.  I believe them when they say a longer release schedule broken in three parts will mean a larger/better story.  In the bigger picture it's still insulting that SC fans have to wait even longer.  It's really not about the money for the fans.  It really shows how out of touch they are to think we're pissed about the cost.  I'm sure some are, but mostly they just want SC2 like 5 years ago. 

Then they finally reveal SC2 but then say oh we're only giving you 33.3 percent of the game initially, you fuckers will have to wait longer for the rest.
