nothing wrong with big oily thighs, literally the exact opposite of pedo bait!

also do korean women really have such a large fascination with being uncanny valley jailbait? or is that just the flimsy excuse to go ham on jailbait? at least it's not as bad as scarlet blade.

So, I'm currently making up for lost time with RPGs on my 3ds. I'm playing DeSu: Overclocked and EO:U1 atm and I'm getting EO:U2 at launch. Anybody have any suggestions for more aweome RPGs? PS, I already have the SMT games off the eShop along with EO:IV and a recently arrived copy of SMT: Strange Journey.

I heard there is a great RPG called Wildstar. Very desu.

Honestly, the leveling and questing doesn't feel any different from any other theme park MMO. v:shobon:v You go out, you kill X dudes, you get Y items, you give them to the guy who sent you out and get XP and a pair of pants. WoW does it, FF14 does it, SWTOR does it, Wildstar does it, EverQuest did it. That's just how every MMO on the market handles its quests, basically. The one thing it has that a few other MMOs also have, and I wish every MMO would loving adopt, is the fact you get your quest items 100% of the time. Every bear has an rear end for the bear rear end quest.

Everything else you mentioned, the UI, the zones, the skills, the poo poo you just don't like? That'll make it feel more like a chore, and I feel you on that. Unless the UI is like completely loving counter-intuitive and I can't use my abilities or access my inventory without some contrived method, I don't pay much attention to the UI; only the Secret World has really turned me off with its UI and its skills. And the zones are interesting to me if only because I've never gone through them. I've been hesitant to actually level a dude in F2P since I played in live since it looks like nothing has been changed and I don't like redoing poo poo I've recently done, particularly if I'm doing it alone.

I'm not saying the game is amazing, or even that it's good or that it will appeal to everyone. I'm saying it's better than it's given credit for. I went in expecting it to be utter poo poo, and it's turned out to not be as bad as goons made it out to be.

It's also not as goons made it out to be a year and a half ago, or even hoped it would be, which I think explains a lot for it. It's just.. mediocre. If something about it doesn't grab you, or there isn't something that will hold you in (like multiple friends playing,) it's not gonna be a thing you'll play for more than 20 minutes. For me, it's just the novelty of seeing the game and seeing what matches up with my expectations and what exceeds it. I mean, poo poo, no one had mentioned the stupid loving newbie dungeon they added, and then I got to actually play the loving thing. It wasn't a well done dungeon, by any means, since it was JUST a tutorial of 'here is how you handle dungeon bosses,' but the worst part of it was having to use mechanics they are now trying to change.

Wildstar's never gonna be as big as even Neverwinter, but gently caress it, it's not like I've lost anything major after the new shine wears off.

Hi, I'm forums poster John Dyne and my time is worth less than nothing. Please feel free to capture and enslave me in any of your work camps ranging from factory assembly lines, manually powering mills, or even rock quarrys. Just be sure to give me a clearly displayed progress bar so I can track how much fun I am having.

MMOs are terrible. One day you will all come to realize this. And when you do. Good Games will be waiting.

Until then, maybe try baby steps to get yourself off the MMOs, like Progress Quest. You can have that running all day while you do things, or play Good Games.

UO did it first and did it best. If you didn't experience the golden age of UO, then I'm sorry, you will never have had a truly good time.

What the gently caress is up with actually playing the game, am I right? There's all this content in the way! Nobody wants that!

Someone link him the Legendary Ring quest from Warlords of Draenor, the thing that even Flex groups will often harass you for not having. While I think it should have been trimmed down, it's ridiculous how much play that chart gets as anything other than "The Entirety of FFXIV's Post-Launch Content".

MMOs are a sickness, but you can be cured of them. Once you realize that all of the content is unfun garbage, you will be set free.

This, please. I think I'd really enjoy that. Multiplayer dungeon runs where you pick a character at the start and level up and "build" your character over the course of the dungeon would be really fun. You get to enjoy gathering equipment and trying out character builds but don't really have to care about long-term progression or anything.

X Hero Siege in warcraft 3 custom maps or any of the hero siege maps were pretty much exactly this. I miss the wc3 custom scene before it got engulfed by dota.

Nothing. It's a garbage game and I question your mental health for having purchased it and then thought about coming back. Now beat the poo poo out of this pedo!
