Have you ever played a game in which you enjoyed so tremendously, that you knew that one day you would return? Well I am coming home to you Britania, far to long have I been away from your glorious fiends (and without a doubt, some jerk has been in my house and fully robbed ever inch of it). Here is a little article I wrote about Ultima Online and my thoughts about it.
Enjoy
Oh look, I got shot, what a great storyline...
(To this glorious revolation, look at the top of my header)
There are a few things that are ticking me off.
360 is shooting out all these titles, 70 percent of them or more are FPS.
Why is it that I am bound to play first person shooter because of my friends?
They came out with final fantasy online, you know, its a great try, but for most people it’s scary and confusing and you have to do other things then lock and load and “RATTATTAATAA”.
I remember when me and my gaming buddies in my childhood had the same taste.
Squaresoft games, soulblazer(yeayea its not square), secret of mana, seiken dentsu,FF series etc. Games such as D and Phantasy star.
So, to my point, Final fantasy is to inconvenient for the FPS person, which is sad, since I like
that game. Then again, who would wanna pay 12 buchs a month just to keep me company?
I wouldn’t. What I would love to see xbox do is great a RPG, that is interactive with other people. A Classic RPG that satisfies the lust of the FPS person to just run around and kill.
Ask any FPS person, here is their list of played game in their “gaming career”
Ask them waht games they’ve played, and here is their list.
TOP TEN (gaming with variety ey?)
1 Doom
2 Castle Of wolfenstein
3 Quake
4 CounterStrike
5 Quake 2
6 Doom (the newer one)
7 Halo
8 Ghost Recon
9 Rainbow Six
10 Halo 2
“sure, I play other games ! what ya wanna play?! I got Rainbow, CP, Ghost Recon.....”
OK, when someone askes you “do you play other games”, they usually meen other gametype. Unless they’re a FPS person such as yourself.
When I someone asks me what other games I play. I say “PGR3, FFonline, Kingdom hearts, UNO etc”
A game that brought all sorts of games together was UO (Ultima online)
I remember UO, all types of gamers game to getting to kill, create armor, go to war, or just plain dress sin pink, go to a local bar and get drunk. Where humorous clowns could spend a day and a night just being stupid!
No strings attached!
And if you thought you weren’t man enough to bring down a Dragon, there were.....alternatives
If you had your share of spilled sheep blood, there was always the twin world feluccia.
You traveled there to mean jolly ol’ folks who were after nothing but to pull a wedgie on you, kill you, steal all your stuff and clothes and the key to your chests and house.
Lovely fellows! Either way Each time I traveled to feluccia, I had my brother with me. He always beat anyone as that was gonna take my house key.
You Rode across the country side meeting various people and morons and just plain weird people. Either way there was a mixed blend.
See. here is my problem. Half the time online I am forced to play FPS, simply since no one else plays RPG’s, so should I simply get new friends? Heck no! This is xbox live we are talking about. It’s filled with teenyboppers whom want nothing else but to attack my fragile person. Trash talking name bashing little squirts with pimples that only want to see me go deaf of their high pitched voices. So NO, I shouldn’t have to go out and make new friends, that part sucks!.
And even my own husband, is not a patient man, he can’t stand to be committed to something that takes longer to learn then the time it takes to crap out your bean sallad you had earlier.
Even worse, my worst fear, halo 3. People will go to FPS and play that game for ever on ends, I lost a lot of friends to the game and I fear that I will loose even more.
I respect peoples gaming of choice, but why do I have to compromise?
So here is my shout out to xbox, Please. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GROWN UP! put a game out there that is liked by both FPS people and myself! It’s really simple, all you gotta do is create an rpg but you can toggle the view to be FPS!
I swear! If I hear the word halo in the terms of “halo 3 is going to be sweet!" “yea halo 3 i cant wait” . I’m gonna freak! The game is NOT that great! Sure it has its cool design, awesome aliens and humanity in trouble( hmmmmm...sounds familiar?) It’s original variety of online games(stolen from PDZ) And oooooh, lets not forget, the infestation and the sea of morons that want nothing but to get to you and make you feel like crap! Don’t even think about convincing me not to listen, I am a self critic and a sensitive person. I just cant stop having feelings.!
NO THANKS!! till halo goes away, Ill have my head jammed in a chocobos ass!
