[QUOTE="uso_outkast"][QUOTE="PoisoN_Facecam0"]I'll take a 12 hour story thats gripping and paced like Heavy Rain than the thousands of hours of cheesy and predictable "storyline" to go with the hundreds of fetch quests and dungeon crawls that MMO's typically offer any day of the week, once again it comes down to a matter of quality vs quantity, and wow is quantity, compare the average WoW quest to almost any other single player RPG mission and you'll find it sorely lacking, the only difference is, WoW has thousands of them..
WoW is a fluke.. there won't be a more successful MMO for at least a dozen years.. and not everyone likes to play.. thats a big part of why MMO's have monthly subscriptions is because 90% of the average gamers (the majority of the market) don't play them and don't want to play them.. average console gamers especially..

actually wow is Quality...thats why you have to pay for it. the servers are excellent the depth of multiplayer is amazing...and theres much more than fetch quests...you make your own quest as you meet people in the "wild"...you can never meet a lost person doing the same mission as you in a single player game. There is no X factor...no danger threat of being attacked by a REal person at any moment.... single player cant compare to 100 real people attacking your home city....and you trying to rally up an army of other real players to fight them. and when you hit the endgame...(max lvl) the game really BEGINS...where as most console games require you to "prestige" over and over....for nothing.. :( Um yeah.. i've played quite a bit of Wow, i know what it is, and what its not.. and what its not is a game with good story.. its all gameplay, and i've met just as many crappy players and idiots in there as I have in any game on console.. the servers being excellent has nothing to do with it, there are plenty of console games with "excellent" servers that you don't have to pay a dime for... WoW is casual, its become the refuge of bored housewives and LARP enthusiasts :roll: its a filler game, its what alot of people i know play "in between" big releases.. I prefer to go out and find an awesome RPG i've never played on an older system than sit in front of my PC staring at a bunch of low levels going around on their mounts that they payed for.... Wow is the ultimate cash cow... well this has become a WOW debate ...which went off tangent to my original point....which was that ps3 should incorporate elements from games LIKE wow...and MMOS to improve its ONLINE (sorry caps) play. Some people bought ps3 because of its FREE online and it seems that no game has taken full advantage of it aside from a small handful. MAg is well respected for what theyve done with the 256 shooter.
It is THat same gamble that i wish for other game companies to pursue...try something new like mag. if it crashes and burns so be it...but so many CONsole games are STuck in the same MODes...12 on 12...16 on 16...4 on 4 sports....why not expand the box???? after all....WOW has laid a huge blueprint on what makes multiplayer SUCCEED..
you are right the storyline isnt great but...the reason i got wow involved was for its MULTIPLAYER experience that can be incorporated into Console games....LIKE What MAG did.
