Bioware doing WFB, while this particular title doesn't interest me that much, if it is an indication of things to come... I'll be in my bunk.

Edit: Bioware and Mythic have been merged, so Bioware now has the Warhammer license. I'm so excited right now it is embaressing.

No actually, Mythic is now run by Bioware with Biowares Ray Muzyka and Greg Zuschek running the show.

Bioware used to do great games, till they were acquired by EA. Now, they're tending to lean towards suck.

Can't agree, both the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series have been fantastic.

With the way their handling the Star Wars MMO, i can't wait to see what Bioware has in store for WFB.

Excuse me, but Dragon Age 2 was the worst Bioware title, ever. It was one of the worst games I've played in the last 5 years.

I'd agree it was the least impressive Bioware game to date, but it wasn't bad. I loved the story, being at the centre of historic events and not being able to have more than a minimal impact was just so much more realistic and low fantasy than DA:O. The technical stuff with level designs and whatnot is another issue, and one that they have accepted and attempted to rectify already with the DLC. For me story > poor level design and reduced RPG options etc.

DA:O was the best fantasy RPG since BGII and the Mass Effect series is my single favourite game franchise ever now. SW:TOR is looking pretty damned impressive too.

The point is, it shouldn't have had to be rectified, much less with DLC. "Hi, we sold you a half done crap game, and if you want to make it better, you have to pay us more money," this just doesn't cut it for me.

(I'm not against DLC in principle, but I'm against it when it's necessary to fix a game.)

Oh I agree, my point was that Bioware have learn't from the mistake. DA2 was an unusually poor showing from Bioware (though I use poor relatively, I still think it was a good game, just not great), and they have taken steps to fix that with DLC and won;t be making the same mistakes. Likewise with ME2 they went a bit far simplifying the RPG elements, ME3 is bringing those back. Point is I'm thrilled with the idea of Bioware-Mythic having the WFB license.:)

Honestly...I'll care when it's not an MMO. Any game that hits MMO status I pretty much ignore.

I like playing MMOs on my own.:rolleyes: I mean I have a guild and friends genraly but I like exploring and queesting a big world by myself. Got bored of WoW fairly quickly, though I check out the expansions when they coem out. Still annoyed they forgot to follow up on Alleria Windrunner.

its all about pvp!!!!!!
unless ffx is your fav game but if your into multiplayer anything then wow is your game. there is A LOT you need to know to be good but when you are good and you roll people who have better gear then you... your on top of the small hill that is video games.
and btw if you didnt make it to the level cap then you didnt play the game...

I did reach the level cap, I also participated in all high end content both PvP and PvE. WoW is a good game, not great, but good.

I see your WoW and raise you LoL and SC2 for better competative games and EVE for a better mmo (cause death still means something and you can actually influence the gamewolrd).
