Aion

aion is not a next gen mmo title. why? well the gameplay is same old generic typical mmo out there. you still get hit by a fireball that you have no option of dodging it in real-time with human-skill.

i only call a mmo next gen is when it is innovative with true real-time that can dodge a fireball.

i can almost call chronicles of spellborn a next gen title since it seems real-time and can dodge melee attack with real human-skill involve. no idea if we can dodge a fireball though but anyway the crappy graphic is holding it back from calling it a next gen title.

age of conan is almost be called next gen too but sadly not. it has real-time attack button but you still cant dodge a fireball right? and the ultimate hold back is the graphic.. sur ethe graphic is advance with all that hdr lighting ect or whatever it is but the overall visual is still look like neverwinter nights 2 even in dx10. it wont change the graphic style.

next gen mmo must have both innovating department, true real-time and graphic. aion is just a souped up lineage2 with great graphic and a blend of wow controls. super lineage2. gameplay still the same generic mmo out there. cant dodge fireball blah blah no human-skill involve. only stat involve. mmo need to stop making stat level based and make it human-skill based. cause whoever high level win is no fun.

MMO WITH STAT BASED LEVEL BASED IS ENCOURAGING CURRUPTCY...... PLAYERS WILL START ILLEGALLY/LEGALLY BUYING IN-GAME CURRENCY TO RAISE STAT AND LEVEL UP FASTER.  so do you want to race each other with this kind of currupcy system? hell no i wouldnt even play. the people that buys in-game currency is jus dont notice the manipulation  system.

MMO WITH PURE HUMAN-SKILL BASED, TRUE REAL-TIME, GREAT GRAPHIC.... THAT IS NEXT GEN MMO.

from the creator of aion.. from the creator of lineage2.. called blade and soul will be a true next gen mmo. innovating looking with that console feel and unparalleled graphic will surely make you drool all over.

mmorpg is getting obsolete cause its keep on bringing same old crap on the table.

WAIT FOR NEXT GEN MMO.....

..........UNTILL THEN STICK WITH FIRST PERSON SHOOTER.

honesty.... what is really next gen lol.... i think the next gen crap all around is a lot of marketing stuff... now they named the few new ideas this days next gen... but 10 years ago or 15 years ago u could see a lot of new ideas and the term next gen was rarely used...

But is Aion fun? Will people (besides yourself) enjoy playing it?  If so, it succeeds, regardless of whether it meets your narrow definitions of a next gen MMO. (that would use old school FPS combat mechanics)

So? The game looks pretty weak also to people also so whats your point?

OP: Your not talking about a RPG but a shooter or action/adv game.  RPGs are about the stats, its not about player skill but  how you build your character and player strategy.

And your right Aion isnt next gen. Been checking it out and it looks like a korean WoW. With a flying gimmick. One trick pony and all that.

Thing is Aion has never hidden the fact that it is the same as other mmorpgs, it states it on its homepage.

Your saying higher lvl should not = win and i think having a slightly better ping or ablility to twitch your hands a bit faster should not = win.

Pure twitch gaming has its place but its not in rpgs, char stats and skills are what rpgs are about without them you just have an action grinder or a fps and there is no way i am paying a monthy fee for a game to be ganked by someone who thinks he is a L33T d00d cus he got a bit better twitch skills than me, at least with lvls, skills and stats i got a chance against people like that.

The moral of the story is everyone has a differant idea of fun and devs are going to go with the mass market idea of fun not the minority.

Im sorry to burst your bubble, but unless you plan on creating limitations (such as AoC's or Tcos's) you can't do anything similar to real time combat. The technologies aren't ready yet, so I'd rather have non-next gen massive battles than next-gen instanced experience.

Im sorry to burst your bubble, but I think you need to go back to playing your carebear game Hello kitty online.

                         In the eye of businessmen, the so called TITLE '' innovative and true real- time '' combat is squashed to petty. What they exactly thirst for is '' a purse full of gold and silver coins '' , the more subz ,the more players, the more money racked in their bank account ... for them the game LABELLED '' innovative and ... ''  is not nessesarily a GAUGE of success, but REVENUE for sure is.

                         What is the point of trying to score a Title with an empty stomach ?? Look at FUNCOM , do they want to be called '' innovative and true real-time combat'' ?? Nay, they want ya to come back and resub instead.. whether ya call their a piece of crap..

                         Your point is fascinating but financial profit is priority.
