This week Jeff Hollis looks at what makes an MMO an MMO, and where Action RPG titles cross over.
"Hello there, fellow gamers, and welcome to this week's action-oriented edition of MMO Weekly. In this week's installment, we'll take a look at "Action RPGs", and how they are slowly mutating, morphing, and becoming ever more indistinguishable from their cousins, MMOs. Well, sort of. Read on, and you'll see what I'm talking about."
IGN : Remember Hellgate: London? The dark fantasy action role-playing game came out in 2007 for PC, a year before developer Flagship Studios went bankrupt. Since then, various free-to-play and online revivals have come and gone. Now, 17 years after the release of Hellgate: London, it’s back.
I remember some friends and I all bought Hellgate: London day one because it was made by some original Diablo devs. We had fun playing it, good memories.
Diablo 4 is going to be more visually appealing on PC, with ray tracing arriving on March 26.
The game is saved we have better lighting in a game that has a top down view hazahh
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Action RPG's are cool, how dare you :P
an interesting read, definitely brings up some valid points.
Seems like there's a grey area there.
Guild Wars is an MMO, no doubt.
