Poll: Okay, calm down.Let's think rationally before we buy Blizzard's new MMO,we dont wanna get hooked.

[Hectix777]

Okay, yes Blizzard has a new MMO. My theory/ view into the future: more of the same but probably set in Starcraft or Diablo. Now before you go," OMG! DAT WOULD BE AW350M3!!! SPACE MAHREENZ FTW!!!," just let me run this by you. Is it going to be any different from WoW? Here's my view on Blizzard: they love money and would do anything to get it; my view on WoW: Blizzard's cash cow is a Skinner box that basically makes people addicted to the game so that not only will the player never leave but will also pay the monthly $15 sub like a good little lamb. As you can see, I see that this MMO will either get eclipsed by WoW itself or become another waste of time. I know that all MMO's consume time, but it's just that Blizzard loves money. It REALLY loves money and that's why WoW is crack so that Blizzard gets more money.

So my view on the new Blizzard MMO: more of the same, barely any difference between WoW and the new one, people will be too ignorant to their faith in Blizzard to notice the whole part of the game is meant to keep you playing and is mostly grinding and evil, I'm fairly confident that the new MMO will BE WoW only re-skinned.

No matter what, this will apparently sell. Why? People believed that WoW was good, they'll think that the new one will be good even though it is what they got in WoW. To put it bluntly: It's like putting a sticker over a can of Coca-Cola and claiming its Pepsi.

So, do you have hopes for this new one or am I the only one who believes we're in for the same?

 

[Staskala]

Yeah, it sucks.

I haven't seen a second of footage nor do I know anything about the setting, world, gameplay, graphics, story, quests, classes, characters, features or anything else, but let me tell you:

I've never seen a worse MMORPG in my entire life.

SWEET JESUS! Could it be? Are they... A-Are they trying something new and creative intstead of a sequel or spin-off of their originals? Maybe there is hope for the bloated, black, puss oozing, monstrosity of Blizzard.

 

[Woodsey]

None of us have seen anything of it, and probably won't do for quite some time, let alone get to play it.

You've blown your load before you've even seen the girl.

Holy shit, kid... This was announced last year... Research a bit more next time before you go jumping to a ton of conclusions and making a thread based around them. (Especially when all of your theories have been refuted by Blizzard at various press conferences)

I don't have to. WoW is a psychological chain, the new one will be a psychological chain, BLIZZARD'S games are psychological chains. Watch, just watch. When big names advertise ,"innovation," what do you usually get? Either way, it will still rob people of their soul.

Sarcasm?

No. They'd never use sarcasm here. That can be hurtful. I disagree with him anyway, I think its going to be amazing. What evidence do I have? Well its so awesome that they can't show us anything for fear of melting our eyes. Plus they said it was going to rule and they wouldn't build up undue hype now would they?

great analogy,
i'm sure with the amount of time and resources blizzard puts into WoW, this new MMO will have some redeeming qualities.
and anyway its none of your business what i do with my soul!

Yes, they would. Because hype= sales= money= Blizzard laughing in their evil fortress as the new gamers fall prey to their ploy and become their eternal slaves. Honestly, it seems like Blizzard is funded by Lex Luthor and the Legion of Doom.

No, but it's my business to rally others to get games that try something new. Blizzard makes RTS's, MMOs, and dungeon crawlers let's have them roll the dice by moving into new territory. Better yet, bring me a game designer from Blizzard who'll say that this new MMO is free-to-play, tries something TOTALLY new, and is not about money. And while your at it bring a pair of handcuffs for him and handcuff his hands in front of him so we can see if he crosses his fingers.

What? Look, yes I may be cynical about this, but I do not have confidence in Blizzard. I avoid them, if someone offered me a top level job there I'd decline. I don't want to play the ," my opinion," card because that is the spark for a flame war, but I just don't believe in them. Especially when it comes to change.

 

[Zyphonee]

Saying World of Warcraft is the work of a satanic Burrhus Frederic is actually rather far from reality. As much as we like to believe that all people that play WoW are completely hooked on a drool creating aparatus, the game has huge volumes of interesting mechanics that allow the player to get a grasp at a gigantic universe. If there's something World of Warcraft isn't, it's poorly designed, we're talking about a game that manages to round up millions of players and keep them paying a monthly fee.

In my opinion, the only way in which Blizzard can accurately market a MMORPG, is through a micro game that doesn't require the player's 24/7 input to function. The thing is that the kind of person who wants to play an MMORPG only has time for one game, and that is already World of Warcraft. Trying to have another huge ass game share the audience is a long stretch, and I personally don't think it'll work properly.

 

[Boris Goodenough]

It's going to be a sci-fi game, the details however have thus far eluded me.

So then why make a stupid, completely speculative thread about a company you have no interest in? Other than some speculation as to what the game might be about, the internet has hardly been set ablaze with rabid fanboys for it.

Why? Oh yeah, because we don't have a clue about it.
