What went wrong?
It's a good game, shit just went wrong for the company.
>>3065457I hate Fae with passion, they've been raped to death in literature in games, I vomid when I see them in media. The fact the game was written by that horrible hack of a writer Salvatore makes it even worse.
>>3065457For the game? Nothing, really. It's fun.
>>3065457It is an Artful production, even if I disagree on some parts.
bland setting and cookie cutter quest designlack of variety in bestiary
>>3065457wow
>>3065468oh but when grrm does it everyone sucks his dick

>>3065457>salvatoreThat cunt should have never picked up a pen.
I only remember the sexy elf and chakrams
>>3065457The game bankrupted its company. It's not that it didn't sell well, but they spent a FORTUNE on it.
>>3065946>muh elfyou didn't play the game you coomer faggot you're just repeating the shit you heard on /v/
retarded baseball player thinks he can make an MMO to compete with WoW, ends up bankrupting the entire state of Rhode Island and is no broke and millions in debt
>>3066062I've played the game a lot 10 years ago and I've never been on a /v/ thread about itWeird post
played it on release and remembered it being abysmally boring. didnt even finish it. nobody talked about it cause it wasnt worth talking about.
>>3065457>What went wrong?western devs
It was ridiculously generic in a bad way, but you could tell it feels like something that the creators thought would be the next big thing.
>>3068359>>3066063Oh did someone have hope, invest their own money and try something? Only to make a game that many people love, but a few people shit on because they've done nothing in their lives, masturbate to disgusting porn and mock people who actually attempt to build something they and hopefully others would like?Perhaps you should try stop being bitter disgusting wastes of life and do something with your time on this planet. By all means, reply to this post with whatever cope you can muster, I won't respond, I'll be off enjoying my time and not shitting on people who actually attempt.“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”Later retards.
>>3065457Hardest fight in the game is the first wolves you encounterAfter this it gets easier and easierCombat was really easy no challenge at all
>>3068491A wise man once said; "Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen."
>>3065457The core game and dlcs weren't even that bad. The worst part is the new dlc the new devs just made. >after 10 fucking years you get a conclusion to the story>the conclusion is you get FATE AIDS and have to fuck off forever and ambiguously just fucking die>after 10 years of the ending being just fine>SUDDENLY FATE AIDS GO DIE YOU DUMB BITCH THAT'S YOUR DLCWhat the fuck?
>>3068512A wise man once said you're a retard. Who cares about the prom queen you fucking idiot.
>>3065457It's an offline MMO.
>>3065457>>3066059It was originally going to be a MMO, its why 99% of every non-faction quest is variations of 'fetch me 50 wolf asses'
>>3068491>make a game that many people love, but a few people shit onMust be why the game got the studio bankrupt because it was just sooo good and so many people loved it and its definitely just a small loud obsessed minority who didnt like it.It went bankrupt because it made too much money.
>>3068514Glad I didnt buy the DLC.The story wrapped up just fine with killing the dragon anyways. Why would you want more unless you were hoping to pay to be able to fuck that dark elf?
>>3065468low IQ.They're not the same Fae obviously, they just have the same name in a different world.
Unironically was meant to be an MMO and rather remake it from the ground up they just made it offline
>>3068852its so obvious when you play the game that it kinda ruins it, every place has got these huge open spaces and gigantic oversized buildings like it was designed to accommodate 20+ players running around at any given time
>>3065457Didn't they almost bankrupt the state of Rhode Island?
>>3065457The the project was started by a baseball player who had no prior experience developing games.The project originally started development as an MMO trying to chase the black swan success of WoW. All WoW-clones were doomed to fail as WoW had already captured most of the market. WoW already had a headstart of several years of content and QoL patches, and even if anyone could catch up to that, they would still have to overcome people's several years of emotional investment into WoW to get them to switch games, which is unlikely to happen. After several years (and several hyped up WoW-clones releasing only to flop and fail), it becomes apparent that making an MMO is difficult, so the scope was reduced and the game was reconceived as a singleplayer game. More years in development hell. Company gets funding from the state government, which began interfering in the development process by mandating that the jobs relocate to Rhode Island.Ultimately too much money was wasted on a vision that changed several times.>>3068491>Oh did someone have hope, invest their own money and try something?I don't think people funding their dream projects is bad, but Curt Shilling was fighting an uphill battle here. It wasn't the 1990s anymore where games could be made by amateurs out of their garages. The leap to 3D HD had happened and consumers expected high fidelity 3D environments, which drastically increased the amount of time and technical expertise required to create. The adoption of CD discs had meant that games ballooned in size, and consumers wanted longer games with more content. Then you add the MMO part on top when the benchmark to beat was WoW, and it was just a herculean task for an outsider to try to acquire good talent and manage a studio and release a 3D game with a lot of content.1/2
2/2>>3068755>99% of every non-faction quest is variations of 'fetch me 50 wolf asses'This is where the failure to acquire good game designers becomes apparent. "Feth me 50 wolf asses" works for an MMO because you're not focused on the boring MMO combat and the tedious grind of farming bear asses. You are supposed to be playing with friends, chilling together in chat. Take that away and you are left with a mediocre gameplay experience.
>>3066062Not that anon but the chakrams were pretty damn useful against the little fairy shits that like to stunlock you with their basic attack.
>>3071436When I played WoW I farmed boar scrotums for hours just so I can compete in PvP. I never did this "with friends". MMO combat is unacceptable in any game whatsoever which is why I got filtered from Xenoblade Chronicles, for example. Staring at cooldowns and mindlessly clicking on the same buttons is not proper gameplay
>>3071517>Staring at cooldowns and mindlessly clicking on the same buttons is not proper gameplayMost RPGs must be a nightmare for you then eh
>>3071547You ought to have higher standards. Most RPGs don't have MMO combat, or at least not deliberately grindy and time-consuming. For example Xenoblade Chronicles would be far more engaging with a RTwP system where you have to micromanage all the characters instead of being carried by AI. Your APM would skyrocket and that type of challenging gameplay is far more engaging. Tendies, zoomers and retarded consolefags who disagree can suck my balls. I have low tolerance for low-IQ "gameplay*. A single-player MMO is the biggest joke
>>3071571rtwp SUCKS DICK. its for posers. You're a poser. crpgs are turn based
>>3071571>CRPG>APMMate you can literally just pause and unlimited amount of times. Nevertheless that the minority of RTWP fights actually require pausing. You will have AI spam attacks for the vast majority of your playtime. A minority require any tactics at all.
>>3071571nobody tell him
>>3065457They made a lazy remaster that should have been a sequel.
>>3065457Wasn't this a generic action RPG? Like by generic I mean nothing going on for the enemy AI and it was super simple for gameplay. No real replayabilty
Too long with with not enough variety, i played it a long time ago though
>>3065457I tried this out because it looked cool but gameplay was just bland and boring. It was like party Ys controls but with a slow dodge and no fun skills.
