oh no... ive discovered wow.

WoW. World of Warcraft. Relationship Destroyer. Time black-hole.
An interesting little application.

Its certainly adictive, pretty enough... Very time consuming though. i find it takes ages to get stuff done.

Skills seem to be seriously dumbed down, thought he way you can stack spells and abilities is interesting.

I certainly wont be giving up MM6/7/8... they have a timeless eligance to them and a more frenetic combat system. Il keep playing the good oldies for some time yet!

WoW = mmorpg = the easy money for the game industry = the death
of good single player rpgs = so damn adictive!

Btw, this post should be at the hall of heretics

p.s.-Good luck at your adventures at Azeroth.

Eeuuh, this IS the hall of Hall of the Heretics

the death

There have been recent releases of games like Gothic 3 and Oblivion. Fallout 3 is coming out next year. There are rumors of Kotor 3...

There are plenty of rpg's around. Good is debatable.

But I'm not sure where this idea of a genre dying comes about. People said adventure games were dead but I see them at the superstores like Best Buy all the time.

When i wrote this was at Might n Magic section, i supose they
move it now

Phoenixreborn my opinion is that we don't see anymore
good single players rpgs as we saw before some years,
maybe i am wrong but today u see more mmos coming
out than single players rpgs(and it;s logical, mmos = monthly
pays, really easy money for the game industry).
I still have hopes thought for good future cRPGs(fallout 3 as u said, and
why not a MnM 10 finally )

what's so addictive about doing the same thing, over and over and over?!

Is that the end turn button I hear you pressing, TT?

[asandir]

Phoenix .... you've quoted me in your sig?

[winterfate]

I noticed that too...it's a brilliant quote though!

[asandir]

I wounldn't have thought brilliant, but shucks!

[Metathron]

Yes, yes, Stephan is a veritable Shakespeare. Now move along, nothing to see here.

I was wondering when you would notice! It's a funny comment, very applicable. "You're just a reload whore" I can scream at Elvin when he reloads because he messed up on his turn in our online games .

[ThunderTitan]

actually no... i haven't played HoMM in a while... i find it more pleasant to stop playing for a while when it starts getting too repetitive... now if i could only find some other game to play to make heroes feel fresh again after the different experience.

Weird enough i agree with TT. WoW has 3 kinds of quests;
1: kill # beasts (sometimes even collect things from them).
2: fetch me the # who got lost and is now guarded by strong creatures in a chest.
3:go talk to someone who sends you to someone else...

I know these aren't the only quest types but they are the main thing, sometimes you ge another quest but usualy you get these 3.

Ontopic: Well i don't know if youve lived or something but there are some pretty good songleplayer rpg out there, like said before Oblivion and Gothic. Still you got Overlord (WE DUTCH PEOPLE RULE) Hellgate London is comming and Fallout 3. And another rpg which name i can't get to because i need my sleep really bad.
Your point of developers making mmorpg's for the big is a good one. Fact is that no mmorpg has ever made it to "the big croud" because the most games try to copy WoW and thus fail because we all know that one.

Nope, WoW starts after u reach the higher lvl(70 right now), then u start
to see what really team work means(raid instances i mean). Huge catacombs ready to be explored by big partys(10-25 players, even 40)
and bosses that required extreme focus and team-work. This is the adictive part, not the farming for xp. BUT, i don't want to be misunderstanting, i don't suport mmos, not because they are adictive(the most adictive game for me is MnM 7 anyway ) but beacuse of the gaming industry and the brutal economical plan that they follow!

About the single players, Gothic 1-2 are already old(but great games), Gothic 3 is extremely buggy(and has insane hardware requirements), Overlord is a game i never played but the reviews I read don't describe it as a classic cRPG, and Fallout 3 is...far away i think and I don't know if will be a worthy continue of the greats 1-2 parts. I really don't see bright future on single players rpg...

[ThunderTitan]

Actually i do get the part where a team goes out looking for XP/items, and you need healers, tanks etc to do it right, but it's still repetitive after a while... even if the company helps. And no matter the level, you're still doing the same thing, it's just that you're not doing it alone...

[Infiltrator]

My thoughts exactly. I played till 60, stayed a bit for pvp, then quit.

I think a lot of console gamers would disagree with you on that point. Don't have to worry about subscription services, don't have to do deal with the jerks, and typically there isn't as much tedious grinding. Oh, and the lack of phedophiles typically helps things too.
