| I would have to say pretty much every game that came out after UO,EQ, DAoC and even Asheron's call(Surprised nobody mentioned AC2 yet).
There have been a few new things, but for the most part nothing really innovative.
It seems that more and more games remove freedom and player choice and instead structure it in a linear fashion. There is no real player to player challenge in the newer games.
WoW: Hands down a large disappointment in the PvP realm. Here we have multiple factions with large capital cities that could have been truly epic for combat. WoW really only is a PvE game with the ability to duel.
Vanguard: Not even going to bother listing the dream that so many wanted to be.
EQ2: It never really "felt" like EQ2. In fact, for the most part they could have called it by another name and it would have done just as well.(Yes they would have had to change mob/zone names as well).
EvE: The one game that actually was inovative in a lot of ways. The down side appears to be technology. The epic 100vs 100 combats just cannot happen without lag playing an extremely large part in the fight. I would love to see a new fantasy version of this game, lag willing.
I have stopped looking forward to the new games. Sadly it seems of everything coming, I am most interested in the WoW expansion and "Spore". I want to be interested in Warhammer... |
