I play GW2 WvW, you can even look my videos up on youtube and I can safely say that GW2 is a pale shadow of what DAOC and Warhammer Online were... GW2 is basically a pimple on Warhammer Online ass....and doesn't remotely come close to DAOC.
Coming from a person that has 1 previous post from 2003 defending Mythic for suing Microsoft... I'm sure many will take your opinion with a grain of salt, and may even suspect you of being a Mythic or Former Mythic Employee. |

DAoC was awesome, but with how often an MMO fails to deliver, funding one doesn't appeal to me. Still, I hope it works out for them.
Edit: fuck it. I have no will power. I just hope it's as fun as DAoC was.
Beyond that... he sold out to EA, drove DAoC into the ground, and then there's the results of Warhammer Online.
So your hopes are probably misconstrued... I wouldn't give that @sshat a dime. The brains (Matt Frior) went to Zenimax and is making Elderscrolls Online. |

The only real RPG element in System Shock was the inventory, and even then the weapon inventory was the kind that computer gamers tend to hate nowadays (generic slots). It's been said repeatedly, but Bioshock plays a lot more like System Shock than System Shock 2 did.
EDIT: It really has to be said, System Shock was an extremely shooty game. The game threw ammunition at you like candy, and bad guys respawned at a sometimes hilariously high rate.
I don't remember much from System Shock 1... But System Shock 2 was definitely RPG oriented... choosing "class skills" before you even start (Basically Soldier (Warrior), Hacker (Stealth), Psionics (Magic User))... Stats to build and manage, skill points to unlock more in a tree, micromanage equipment, etc. etc.
Since I'm, more of an RPG fan than a Shooter fan, "Bioshock as a Spiritual Successor" was a large disappointment to me.
Standing on it's own... it was a decent shooter, at best.
Since I don't have a "Spiritual Successor" expectation from the series anymore... Bioshock Infinite being a marvelous shooter, is fine by me. Just not worth $60 to me. |

You're right. BioShock Infinite is so much more immersive and well realized than System Shock ever was...
I would hope so, given the development time, the modern technology, and budget, compared to System Shock 2. It also helps if your publisher cares about the product.
But the series isn't nearly as RPG oriented as System Shock was... and that was my point. |

Bioshock Infinite deserves it. It's the best shooter in years.
Well... that's the problem with the series.
System Shocks were RPGs first, shooters second. They've pretty much pushed out most of the RPG elements for the Bioshocks.
Don't get me wrong... I'll probably still pick up this title, on sale... but Ken Levine needs to be smacked upside the head for ever claiming that the Bioshock Series was a "Spiritual Successor to System Shock" ... cuz it sure as hell isn't, IMO. |

You are missing out on a lot of great games, oh well, your loss for such a silly reason. Maybe you'll grow out of it.
Well, no... I don't think I'll grow out of it. Do you buy things you can't stand?
I don't buy RTS nor casual games either... they're just not my cup o tea, and I'm sure theres a lot of fantastic games out there in those genres.
Choice of camera view is an important factor to me, for the genres that I enjoy. If a developer restricts the camera view to a position that irritates me, or feels unnatural, which prevents me from enjoying the title... I don't buy the game. It's that simple.
The same goes for games with poor keyboard and mouse support, that try to goat you into playing with a game pad. If I wanted to play with a fucking game pad, I'd buy a console.
So yes, there may be a lot of well done games that I'm missing out on... but that doesn't bother me, because I spend my money on games that I know that I will enjoy. (Except for when my dumb ass forgets to do the homework first)

However, what really shocks me is that people funded Garriott despite knowing how much money the guy has.
Let me first say, I'm not a big fan of Garriot... so don't take the following defense as fanboism...
Anyway, he's already poured tons of his own money into the company (millions) to get the project going. He probably ran low on "liquid cash"... being "worth" a lot and having "tons of cash" are two different things.
In any case... he has explained that he could either go to a publisher, or go crowd-funding to take things to the next step and finish the game. He chose crowd-funding to avoid publisher BS.
I suppose a third option would be to sell assets to get the cash... but having feedback from backers has already been way more beneficial... he made the change to have the game playable totally offline, which was not his original plan, but one he altered after folks said they wanted that.
So, an Ultima successor, with Backer input... fine by me. We'll see if he still has anything left... or if he's truly washed up as a game designer. I would have to say this game will make or break his reputation, once and for all. |

So you never played the Mafia series? 
Nope.
Still kicking myself in the ass for buying Alan Wake on Steam for Under $10, and not doing my homework. I didn't even make it through the tutorial.
Shoulder-cam (without any other options) = automatic "No Sale" for me. |

Thank you indie developers for allowing me to keep my hobby. The so-called AAA market apparently believes that it's consumer base is a recyclable resource with unlimited funds and a short term memory. The cynic in me can't really argue its them as the mainstream gaming consumer has so far been willing to bend over and take it. I just wish the indie developers were the ones in control of Diablo.
Well Said. |

Compare it to something great like Sleeping Dogs.
Never played it.
Then again I didn't have much interest in a Kung-Fu GTA sandbox.
Watchdogs, though... I definitely have an interest.
Of course, I will wait for post launch reviews and opinions before I take the plunge. |

I hope this plays as good as it looks.. it's like Deus Ex meets Grand Theft Auto.
I don't see the connection with Deus Ex besides the hacking bit?
Not necessarily far in the future where you are an augmented cyborg directly like Deus Ex...
... the hacking bit, yes, and it is looking like a conspiracy story with multiple factions that are after you, including the government at a much higher level than the regular police.
So, more from an angle of story, than a futuristic/cyborg perspective... the key being "conspiracy involving the government"... then set that in a GTA sandbox. |
