I'm getting some Shadowbane vibes from the combat and animations, for some reason.

Holy poo poo, I was about to post the same.

Crowfall is being made by the guy who did shadowbane is why, he even calls it a spiritual successor.

I hope it doesn't result in the same AFK farming groups of horrible AI that SB was famous for. Is there actual leveling and gathering of resources? SB did some things well, and the rest of the game content was a limp/shallow mire of poo poo with semi-decent graphics.

The Shadowbane world suffered greatly from vast areas of empty nothingness between zones and virtually no environmental sounds. The most engaging thing was large scale PvP battles, and those would not work unless you had the settings such that you only saw torsos floating about.

I've been beginning to think that the reason the genre hasn't come back is because of minecraft/dayz. Other genres have largely isolated the pieces of MMOs that worked best and implemented them. It's left mmos themselves with all their baggage and not much of an edge. You get your PvP and boss raids in Dark Souls, your crafting in survival games, large-scale combat in like battlefield or whatever. There's just less of a reason to subject yourself to an MMO these days.

A mmo needs to be pretty engaging for me these days. That thing about minecraft and arma 3 (gently caress day z sa) is me to a t.
I just dont have the time to spare these days for a sub standard mmo.
