I find a lot of the gaming world is reluctant to be critical about games that are in beta. I was critical about one aspect of PotBS on my blog and one of the flying labs devs emailed me about it. Said email became an opportunity to give direct feedback to a dev on an aspect of the game and get a glimpse of how they are planning to improve it. Blind fanboyism does not serve either the developers or the fans of the game, both who want to see the best possible product launched.A.A.

I can't talk about games I'm in during the NDA covered beta, and as I said previously I'm b.) not playing PotBS until the pre-order headstart in about 2 weeks time.<BR/><BR/>There...

I don't want to burn out on it the same way I feel I did with LotRO while it's still in beta, so I am focusing my MMO time more on TR, a game that's actually out and for real. <BR/><BR/>Worry not, assuming I can pull myself away from my 360 in January you'll be hearing about my adventures on the open sea.<BR/><BR/>TR is not exactly my "best friend". That distinction rests on the shoulders of my wife, but Rasa and I are confidants in a manner of speaking. I confide in him to keep me entertained when I want an MMO, and he confides in me to not complain too much about bugged quests. <BR/><BR/>@Hedonist:<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't say I'm a fan, as I plain old don't follow sports much these days, but I would support them should my life or theirs be on the line. :PBildohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06984263503537727388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935839516034623891.post-47948252304826305462007-12-18T23:05:00.000-05:002007-12-18T23:05:00.000-05:00I can't say I blame him.Tabula Rasa is thus far a ...I can't say I blame him.<BR/>Tabula Rasa is thus far a superior game to PotBS, though PotBS still has time to get better. One thing I don't really expect to get much better in PotBS is the completely lackluster avatar mode combat which feels like I am playing the original Everquest. <BR/>The problem for Flying Labs is they are trying to design two games in one package. While the ship mode is turning out pretty nicely, the avatar mode, particularly the combat, puts me to sleep.A.A.

I even bought ESPN 2K5 for the original XBOX to get my football fill. Welcome to 360 land Bildo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
