Ships Ahoy - Age of Conan

Eidos Interactive has word that Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is now in stores (thanks Gamer's Hell). Here's word on the barbaric MMORPG:

As a galley slave you stand on the burning beaches of Tortage. With no memory of your past, a broken oar and tattered clothes you enter a fantastic journey where you will define your destiny. In a world filled with cruel gods, mythical creatures, lost civilizations and a struggling human race, Conan the mighty barbarian has finally seized the throne as king of Aquilonia; but his rule is on the brink of chaos as his nemesis Thoth-Amon attempts to resurrect the ancient civilization of Acheron.

Yeah...that is kind of what makes me want to wait in all of this. The whole combat system seems built around making the user press buttons to execute special attacks in combat instead of the more traditional press one button to activate specials and auto attack. I'm not convinced that the system is going to be more fun.

So less interactivity is more fun? I don't see the logic. I hated it in WoW when I would go into a group and just hit one button over and over and over again. It was no fun whatsoever and most of the time I would watch a movie on my TV while doing it with no difficulties.

In this game, you can't do that. Your attention has to be focused on the combat or else you won't win. It is definitely more fun and it adds a bit of skill to PvP battles that WoW doesn't have.
