    I truly hate S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Just an awful game.


    I didn't keep playing it. If i don't like a game, I stop playing it

    I really hated Leisure Suite Larry: Magna Laude. It was such a bad game but I had to finish it.

    Again, I strongly disagree with this statement. True, level and equipment is an important part of the MMO gaming experience (as it is in FPS-esque games such as BF2 for example), but skill, strategy, and tactics are also extremely important. High end raiding and player versus player combat are examples of this.

    In each of these examples, it is not so much as your gear and level that it is important, it is the execution of solid strategies, well thought out tactics, and a great amount of skill as well. Suffice to say, you can have the best equipment and the highest level possible in an MMO, but that does not automatically make you a top player.

    Have you played an MMO before? If so, which one, and what is your raiding and/or PvP experience?

    WoW! Finally I get the most important point from you. Thanks.
    I don't play MMORPG. XD! But I saw my housemate, my friends, my family members and relatives play them. I was like OMG kind of boring and money burning. Last but not least, time wasting. Play some games like dota only bought me 1 hour per match. I saw my friend play MMORPG endlessly until he don't have time to speak or sleep.

    I do agree the games are fantastic but is not worth to play. LAN games, I suppose they are better in term of time and money. Honestly, I am not hardcore gamers. So, playing games intensively(like brainless ramboo) would not be my choice.

    Somehow. In the beginning the difficulty curve is quite steep. Once you get a rifle, everything normalizes.

    true, but if you don't have those things, it automatically excludes you from being a top player.
    in most mmorpgs anyway.

    there is some skill to SOME mmorpg's. most of the korean types, potion pumping, click to hit type games there is no skill. just time put in. even the western mmo's its more of a 'learn and memorize sequence' type of thing than 'skill'.
    is stunlocking 'skill' or spec'ing right and memorizing?
    some people think that sitting on vent calling out a target to team up on is skill too. it isn't, its teamwork that a pick up group doesnt have, so a big advantage sure, but not skill.


    but the fact is , you really do have to put in more time than most people work in a week to be a competitive upper tier player in most of those games. its to the point if you play only 2-3 hours a day(which is alot) you can't really keep friends because they leave you in the dust!



    back on topic, my vote goes to DAoC. i have bought that game 7 times now >.< still the best mmorpg out there but too old for most people.

    But I'll be damned if I wasn't going to get my $50 worth out of that game...but I couldn't *sob*...there just wasn't $50 worth of gaming there...maybe $5...but that's hard to justify when you can buy Shadowgrounds: Survivor or Alien Shooter 2 for about $5 and I think both are superior (and more fun)...

    If GPG would just release an upgrade pack that provides more skills, equipment, etc, I might be happy...

    As it stands, I wasted $50 and then I wasted 12 hours of my life hoping to find that I hadn't wasted $50...

    Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. Brilliant game, until you've completed it. Then it tasks you with finding every single banana in every single level. My God I hated it for that, I kept trying and trying, it kept drawing me back lol. Eventually I got over it and got another game. Did anyone ever actually get all the bananas?

    I hate RuneScape! I don't really know why... I only tried it once but I hated it from the very first second.
    I just hate the graphics and the way you move your character. I also hate the music and the awful fighting sounds. I can't understand why so many people play this game.

    I HATE Gears of War. Crap game , gameplay, grey and crap colored graphics. Dull story, only 1 girl in the game. Your character moves like a slug, you run like you have a hunchback.
