[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 7656336, member: 63245"] I'm not sure how much of a (video)gamer you are Morrus, but games are hyped YEARS before they are released. For example Final Fantasy XV has been in development since 2006ish SINCE that announcement it regularly comes up as a conversation piece. We can look back at Zelda, The Last Guardian, Kingdom Hearts 3, Halo, Everquest Next, Guild Wars 1 and 2, World of Warcraft Expansions, Starcraft 2, Diablo3.... etc etc. These games are announced several years before they came out and are constantly talked about. When games are announced they should generate buzz... and this... this just doesn't. Gamers not talking about this game is a bad sign. Most don't even know it exists and if they do it's in the back of their mind. I simply can't see how this game is going to be any kind of success especially comparing it to other MMOs that are leagues better and better known. Many of those games have tanked hard. The Elder Scrolls online, there are legions of ES fans and the game is failing hard. Wildstar is a superb game but it just doesn't have the numbers to keep it afloat. Star Wars The Old Republic went down hard forcing it to move to a free to play model (look up a term called TORtanic). These are games that have had millions of dollars backing them and they aren't doing too well despite how well known they are. The MMO market is tough for sure. If your game isn't pristine its going to fail hard. They should have been pushing advertising as soon as this thing got funded, but they didn't and it's not hard to see why. The game is barren, it feels generic in every sense of the word. It looks like they went to a site and downloaded public domain textures and slapped them on the game. The worst offender is that the animations are seriously unforgivable. I legitimately feel bad for the developers for what they are about to unleash. The game is going to get ripped apart by gamers (video gamers). I can only imagine the most loyal pathfinder fans are going to be interested in this and that's simply not going to be enough for them especially since the game doesn't actually map to the Pathfinder RPG. It's in name only, no mechanics from the tabletop game are actually used. I can't see this being lucrative in any way. Who knows though, I might be completely wrong. It might be a AAA game that rivals world of warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV. [/QUOTE]
