Re: MMO Excuses?

Many graphicals and many text-based games hide behind that excuse. Most are indeed nothing more than clones of one another with little to distinguish themselves other than their "theme", itself a variant of some cliches.

With graphicals, the phrase you often hear used is "giving the player something they've never seen before." That's entirely accurate but the phrase isn't complete. It should read "giving the player something they've never seen before but certainly have played before."

Heh, that's why most of the games I play are nearly a decade old. They got it right then and since that time it's just been repeats with prettier pictures (and often worse gameplay).

Take care,

Jason
