In some way Archage was one of those games I really looked forward to. A MMORPG with a focus on sandbox elements. You can grow plants, construct houses, become ill, player illnesses can spread, ... a dream come true?
I couldn't really believe it and it is good I didn't. Because they released a video about combat. It's not exactly credible .. in fact, I was like "What The Hell?" when I watched this.
Seems like I need to make my own MMORPG, though.
One the one hand, I don't think it looks very impressive either, despite ArcheAge looking promising in general. On the other, that Bard dude took down a mob with bullets made of song. That you don't see every day.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea WTF the goal of that video was. Do they have good fight mechanics? No idea. Do they have good graphics, possibly.
ReplyDeleteI guess that the only thing that I can say is "Ardwulf, that was pretty cool."
Ok I am not sure why you freaked out about video (its really your regular MMO ability combat, with flashier abilities)
ReplyDeleteBut the rest?

It has lots of videos. A lot of it is generic mmo stuff ,but some parts are amazing -like the huge city. Player villages etc.
Its all is really early beta (so I disregard glitches and camera/animations artifacts) but final product could be amazing. In fact if it was not Korean I would be super hyped. But asians manage to kill some of most interesting projects with mind numbing grinds.
