Guild Wars is the only MMO to have ever innovated this much in the genre... Sadly, WoW recieved far more hype. But of course, Quantity doesn't mean quality.
No, no no, the guy that made this video is wrong. Every mmo out there is a failed clone of WOW. World of warcraft is the first game, first mmo, first fantasy online game and it was invented before computers came of existence.
Kind of fuzzy logic to say that Starr Long et al were influenced by The Realm and Meridian 59. I remember laying The Realm as a stop gap for Ultima Online after Shadows of Yserbius died out. We knew of UO alpha being amazing even when The Realm was in beta.
missed a few things: didn't mention Nexus: TK and it's effect on the market (ahem the reason for UOs existance), also did not mention the fact that up until EQ games of this nature where in fact called gmuds... not mmos.
I watched this a awhile ago and I got to the part in Saints Row the Third where you have to kill the Deckers in the data game thing, and Zork and M.U.D. reminded me so much of it! Because there is a part where the game turns into an all text RPG for a little bit.
I remember when I first started playing NWN on AOL I not only had to pay for the service, but the long distance phone calls to connect... Whenever people complain about today's $10-$15 monthly fees for MMORPGs I remember my $500+ monthly bills from that era and guffaw. NWN was a huge upgrade from the MUDs I had been playing up to that point though, so it felt totally worth it.
For those of you that haven't sold Black Ops for MW3 yet:
In the main menu, keep pressing LT+ RT/L2+R2. You will get out of a chair you were strapped to, and you find that you are in the last room of the Campaign.
Next, there should be a computer (Running DOS) to the left of the chair.
Go to it, and type Zork. You will start playing Zork. Also, if you type DOA, you will start playing a game called Dead Ops Arcade.
@stevetheblobman All of them! How can anyone like these generic monotonous games? Yeah, sure it's a lot of players, but it's just... not there yet. I think games should evolve in the way of art and creating emotions in the player. They have more potential then most people realise.
@Rusty511 Best *useful* show on the channel. I'd say Freeman's Mind is the best on the channel, but now there's a separate channel for that, so yeah. I'd agree. XD
@joel22334 sorry but its mojang :S mojang created minecraft and i think he only says the history of a company ... also mojang just started they just got 1 game out and 2 to come i think
@Nolaris3 Won't that cause the universe to implode or something? I want to see an AYH on some of the old Amiga games developers like Team17 and Psygnosis. Though that might be more of a "where are they now?" kind of thing...
Always look forward to this show, one of the few videos on machinima that look like effort has been put in.. I've never played an mmo in my life but will still watch this. : )
@antdude I dunno, i have alot of subs so i normally go to the subscriptions bit on your username in the top left so i don't miss anything..it was in there.
There are no good games. Only good people who are able to get useful daily life experience out of them. Progression is the key to success, and the game might not be the start when you are young. Just putting that out there as a word from the wise!
If we still had to use dial up i would probably just kill myself. Sure i remember having a shitty 56k modem that gave out half the time while i was playing counter strike beta in 1999. But the modem beats the hell outa dial up. No wonder it took so long for the internet to grow. Because it use to suck so much why the fuck would anyone use it! AOL sucks dick.
@halo6534 consider you fuckers lucky, in my country,DSL broadband cost too much and too slow so i had to use dialup all the way till 2005 until they had better deals/faster speeds
@KoolJayJ I feel your pain man. I have dial up for about 2 years and it was fucking horrible. I give you kudos for sticking with it that long. Cause it know its just internet. But fuck it was so painful to use.
