WHY

WHY IS THIS GAME SO FREEE!?!?!?!?!?

Gameplay Trailer 1:

Gameplay Trailer 2:

I cannot wait for this game to come out, which is supposedly late 2011. The best thing about it is that it’s free to play (there is a cash shop I believe). I’m so excited I can’t stop watching the trailer vids. Too bad it won’t be out during the summer, ‘cuz that’s the only time I can afford not to have a life and play games all day.

I think it’s still at its developmental phase, no beta yet. Hopefully beta will open in the summer and I can lose some sleep over that.

I haven’t been so excited since I saw the trailer for TERA (which unfortunately is not FTP).

Another game I’m anticipating:

Portal 2:

IN STORES APRIL 2011, CROSS PLATFORMS, I PLAY WIF MY FRIEND <3

And a game I've been pressured to play:

Dead Space 2:

Apparently this was leaked before its official release date. Real smooth.

Currently playing:

Forsaken World, by Perfect World Entertainment

I’ve played several games by PWE, and the thing that I didn’t like most about their games was that the world was too huge, especially PWI. The graphics were always stunning and the game play interactive and engaging, but it took serious chunks out of my day just watching the characters run to their destinations.

What I do love about PWE is their auto-route system, which is extremely easy to use and saves you a lot of frustration while you look for NPCS and quest items in such a diverse world (not exclusive to PWE games btw especially nowadays). I don’t remember if this was in other PWE games, but in Forsaken World the NPC quest item is actually illuminated so you can see it when you’re doing that quest. The thing about auto-routing for me is that I never know where anything is and it takes me longer to get familiar with an area.

With most games quests are easy to keep up with in the beginner zone and when you get to the main city it explodes. I haven’t had trouble keeping up with the Forsaken World quests so far, but I haven’t been able to play too much.

Like with all the PWE games, the attention to detail is amazing. Battle of the Immortals was a little too confusing for me because it felt like there was too much going on. Ether Saga got too tedious for me after a while. I don’t really have the time to get serious about playing Perfect World, but so far Forsaken World feels like a good mix. I like the variety of classesxraces as well as some degree of originality (the Vampire class of the Kindred race in particular).

But I must admit I’m getting tired of the generic click and numberkeyspam mmo’s. They all feel the same after a while (note I’m not comparing anything to WoW, because I really hate people who do that). I’m kind of leaning towards Vindictus now, waiting for FireFall (FUCK YEAH) and maybe Rusty Hearts(also by PWE, would you look at that).

But right now I’ve got exams and essays coming at me left and right, I shouldn’t get too caught up in this. I wish I had a gun or something to shoot them down. That would be mad fun.

Peace
