The Problems with MMORPGS: Part II

fffangold | November 08, 2008 | Blog | PC

Talks about what MMORPGs lack compared to more conventional games. Perhaps the addition of some of these things could improve the genre, and add some new depth to MMOs.

MMORPGs, on the other hand, focus on one thing: making your character better, through leveling up and acquiring more gear. Sure, there might be a bit of a story, but it's very loose and not exactly what I would call riveting.

Well, this guy obviously never played FFXI, since there's several story-lines in that game. All of which are pretty damn good, especially when you consider the fact that it is a MMORPG.

Still I agree with this guy on most things, the only point of playing a MMO is to get powerful to get cool items to help you become even more powerful. Sure FFXI may have an okay story, but you only have to compare it to the previous games to see its not in the same league.
