Aion

Seriously what is all the hype about this game... i dont feel very excited all i can tell is that its going to have flying and everything else is going to be exactly the same as world of warcraft and warhammer with the gameplay mostly and its just going to have pretty graphics... wtf is all the hype about. I am excited about darkfall becuase its actually bringing something new to the MMORPG industry.. but i dont have my hopes set very high on that game either.. open beta was suppose to be out already and its not. People are even saying that Closed Beta is fake and that they are faking it in darkfall :P. Well anyways what is actually new in this game... seems just like another boring mmorpg where its the same crap over and over i would think they would add something interesting besides "flying" and some pvpve "_" . Anyways if there is something that makes this WORTHWHILE to actually be excited about this game please tell me :P.

You need to actually read what is out there about the game. This game is actually more like a combination of  Final Fantasy XI and Everquest. The death penalty alone makes the game stand out don't even have to get to the flying.

well your mind seems set that you wont give Aion a chance so do us a favor and find a game that intrests you, and that you get excited about. If all else fails go do some reading up on Aion. and if you still dont like the ideas and concepts dont spend you money an a game that you wont like. Not every game is for everyone. Some of us are excited about what were hearing from OB in korea and awaiting the US release.

And ***gasp***  some do not like Aion for whatever reason, thats life.

 "darkfall becuase its actually bringing something new to the MMORPG industry."

Was all I needed to read. The fact that you actually bought into that decade of vapor is enough to let me know you're not going to listen to reason or put forth a compelling argument so it's not even worth the effort. 

PS: they're not bringing anything "new". They're bringing old ideas back, which isn't nessisarily a bad thing, but that would be assuming the game wasn't a complete joke. 

dejavú?

There was a post recently asking about what Aion innovates in. I recommend people not to look at features by themselves and instead look at the whole package, but if you're looking for the mega innovation that nobody has ever thought about doing, good luck.

Echo...

This game is mostly likely not for you. If the graphics don't do anything for you and if you think flying isn't all that awesome, then move along because you won't find anything much different from any other MMO.

And that's how we like it. I don't know how many times we have to say this.

The whole package is indeed looking great, but nothing we could point out will convince you. Maybe wait until you can try it yourself. Or dogpile.com some beta opinions and videos...

EDIT: Maybe OP is just boggled and mildly pissed Aion is always at the top of the hype meter..

No iam not pissed that this game is the most hyped  IAM pissed becuase this game bascially is the same shit as any other game with some pretty graphics and some pretty flying and the same shit mechanics as EQ  THAT WHERE CREATED MORE THEN 7 YEARS AGO . So be excited about your guild wars with jumping if you want iam going to wait for a actual MMORPG that should be the most HYPED on this site and not some game that just takes the same crap from other games and adds 1 or 2 things to it.

I am not here to sell Aion to you

I don't know if it was a great philosopher that said this but i've always believed in "If it's not broke don't fix it" But with that aside you can make things better without completely throwing the mold away. MMOs have things about them that people love and want to be apart of the game. Yes new innovation is needed but you don't have to completely scrap out everything if it works and people enjoy it. Think of other genres like fps games i remember when the first Gears of War came out. People loved it because it brought a lot of new and exciting ways of playing fps game with the ducking dodging and what not. It's still and fps game though and if it didn't have the things people like about fps games in it as well it would have flopped.

With aion I think they are taking what has worked and are listening to masses and trying to fix that while adding some cool new things. Some of them have been done before (like flying think flyff) but i'm sure this is being improved on. Other things like pvp pve and story like are gonna be apart of most mmos too. Some games are strickly pve though. I just don't know what people are expecting from the develepers community people want all this new stuff but when games come out that are different people are going to complain because it doesn't have all the stuff they think should be in an MMO.

If MMOs don't agree with what you think are fun and you want them to change to exactly what you think is a good then by all means go out there and make a game with what you want in it.

Oh and darkfall that topic gets brought up a lot on these forums and it always makes me laugh. That game promises a lot and I'm going to chuckle to myself when it FINALLY comes out, and it might not, because people probably expect too much from it and it's most likely going to flop and flop bigtime.
