The game animations DO need fixing, while the animations are there they are far too robotic and not obvious enough to be seen more like twitches than actual movement. In this case I would argue better animations benefit gameplay because and you need animations to see the movement of your enemy and what they're trying to do against you (more in this game than in other MMO's due to the significant FPS influence).

That being said... In my experience with previous MMO's in beta the animations are often something that are worked on up to and through release. In fact sometimes that is one of the last things they put the final tweak on.

In the end, I do not believe the not-perfect-animations will be a deciding factor.

Also, when you're ingame, things tend to looks a lot different from that perspective.


I would like to point out that this game still has AMAZING graphics (not to be confused with animations), I don't want new readers to the thread to assume it is a shitty looking game, what we are now discussing now is minor details on animations that could have already been fixed.

That is interesting, I recently watch this video by Yahtzee describing a perfect example of that in his review of Braid.

That's the same thing, your previous statement was your own opinion anyway.

Yes, the landscaping, scenes, characters and buildings overall look great and make me wanna play it right now. Some of the objects, though need some pimping out. Like those ships and some weapons.
Also, at the models comment. If you'd ever ...disarm MMORPGs like I do, you'd realise that good modelling doesn't come in here cause you need stuff to be really low poly. This is when good texturing comes and rescues the game.

@At deathman, no, it's not. It means that I would sacrifice gameplay for graphics but that doesn't mean that overall a good graphical game is better than a good gameplay one. Neither that graphics > gameplay.

Saying "I said I would rather have nice graphics than a good gameplay." is exactly like saying "Graphics > Gameplay". I'm sorry you can't see this, I'm sure you will realize how retarded you were in the future.

And its funny you rebut my games are all about gameplay argument by talking about the two things above it, just what I expected you to. Ignoring the truth doesn't make it go away.

I just thought I had the right to correct you in the ones I do know rather than in gaming which I barely know. I'm not much of a gamer, you can go ahead and waste most of your time playing games and never grow up. But I just play them when I have time for fun... and to steal their textures.

I edited the first post, but for anyone who doesn't re-read posts... here is this link to the video that first got me excited about this game, it will help you appreciate what is actually going on the in longer/more recent gameplay video and give a good overview of the major features.

Oh, even though I've mentioned this before, we ARE starting a SEN Alliance. I'm probably gonna go for a city building type after gaining enough money as one of the emo loners, although the Pirate for once is actually quite intriguing. I'd love to sweep in with a huge ass pirate ship and laugh maniacally at the fool who decided not to defend his ports.

I applaud you for your honesty, but seriously Corbo WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

Stealing textures isnt that bad >:D.

Corbo made a good call... An excelent call. And it's not about "Graphics". I just don't feel atracted to the gameplay... Don't missunderstand me, TES is a great game with a great leveling system, but... But I don't feel atracted to a massive multiplayer online game with a similar system, taking away leveling. Gosh, as Death said, I play damn Doom, and I mentioned more old games. There's just something about gameplay that I don't like in that game. That's it...

I'll help you build our SEN kingdom!

The SEN Dominion sounds better

SEN, largest mmo recruitment center based on a blizzard game unoffical site.

Yay!

Hmmmm, you're actually right, although for the sake of recruiting actual players, the SEN part may get thrown out.

The Dominion!

Or we could go for maximum reduncancy! The SEN Network!

This.

I DONT MAKE PROFIT OUT OF THEM SO LEAVE ME ALONE!

Get em corbo. ;D

Yea as long as you ask for donations it doesnt matter what you rip off these days. Unless its bnet....

Clan Dyne, assemble!

Our name should obviously be La Resistance.
