Yeah, this all seems great at first. Then you get into the game and find out that 50% of the population are asshats that all look like George Bush. Pass.

This could be too much customization. If I can make anyone and everyone can make anyone, this runs the risk of looking more like Second Life with guns than Counterstrike meets GTA.

It could just get ridiculous.

And then there will be the inevitable Hitlers and black face characters. Ugh.

I'm feelin' a PC upgrade in my future so I can play this sucker. I wonder what the system specs will be?

The customization is AMAZING. No leveling or grinding is great.

I will suck at it, so I'll make sure to always play on the team opposite Kotaku-ites.

Me, I'm not into this kinda stuff myself, the online and all, but I think that someone up there said it, if I was going to play this, I'd probably make the Hulkster, brother.

Miyamoto - I find your lack of pants disturbing.

Also, unless I missed something, there's 3 articles about this game today and not one of them mentions which system it's being released on. I'm assuming PC only.

Fyren — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 06:00:49 MST

Guild-war esque MMO fails. Its not an MMO, just a giant playground for PvP.

I just hate having lobbies with *set* number of parties zoning.

The game feels like a gloried Gamespy lobby.

However, the customization has been anted up. Much improvement since the "City of..." series.

@gamadaya: Money is that reason.Action fans are very capricious. The next hot thing will come and they abandon the old hot thing. RPG fans are about building a guild and becoming an Overlord of the Elves or whatever.They are more dedicated.So that equals more money.

gamadaya — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 04:06:18 MST

This is probably one of the best ideas I've ever heard. I really never understood why every MMO out there was an rpg, and required insane amounts of boring ass grinding to get anything done. I fucking hate grinding! This game seems like it won't have any of that, and will be a hell of a lot more fun to play. I've never liked games where I have to level up my character and go on quests or kill enemies over and over again, hoping that this time I find the drop I'm looking for. An action based MMO that is easy and fun to pick up and play. If anything can put a dent in WoWs player base (and nothing can), this will be it.
