ddickinson: It seems that many people hated that game. Very few said it lived up to its predecessors. At least that is another game you can forget about now.
It has far too much MMO stink, as I call it.
The story isn't great, and the ultimate goal is to repeat, and repeat, and repeat in order to get better weapons and armor. Every ability in the game is based around weapon damage, you get virtually nothing when you level up aside from unlocking more weapon-modified abilities, and the only way to add to those totals is to increase them through loot bonuses.
It's all bound to loot, and obtaining loot is bound to grinding.
Along with that, their method of adding longevity to the game is what's called season mode, wherein you're supposed to make a new character and grind yourself silly in order to obtain loot that isn't available in the main game or expansion until they patch it in later on.
If I wanted to play an MMO, I'd be playing one.
Beyond that, playing hardcore feels like it's a matter of time before you run across elite enemies who have random abilities in such a way that you're going to get killed.
I have no desire to get so angry I can't see straight when I run across enemies who can pin me in place and leave me to sit here watching hours and hours of time go down the drain when my character gets dogpiled to death.
LaPtiteBete: Yes, yes, you can !!! :D
-laughing hard- Yeah, it'll be great. It'll be a blurry, dark, out of focus picture with an out of focus eyeball when I take off my glasses to remove reflections from the monitor.
