  • Is anyone playing online games or MMOs anymore?

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I play DDO once and a while. Hardly a "good" game, but fun in small doses.

I played WoW for a while quite recently, but I wasn't really interested. I've never been one for those types of games though.

Chromehounds just came out for 360, and if somebody doesn't have Live Gold, they shouldn't get it - that's how important the online component is to it.

The singleplayer story mode is more of a tutorial for online than anything else (probably why it's been getting such crappy review scores).

I want a game to play online....hell, I want a game to play period. Nothing lately has struck my fancy.

Honestly I love Diablo-esque games. I tried Titan Quest, but it's a straight rip of Diablo (my downloaded copy keeps crashing and I dont think its worth buying).

Any Diablo like games out worth playing? I love hack'n'slash.

I played this weekend and took another character slot, sot here is one left.

Guild Wars is a little less MMO and a little more D2, but still not as fast paced as D2 and still with too many MMO elements. I'm having fun with it so far because you can hire free NPC henchmen to party and level with as opposed to trying to find a real party. I was always more of a solo'ing player. The worls is still very big and it still takes time to do anything, which has always bugged me a bit about MMO's. We'll see how much longer it stays fun.

Err...the best part about that game is the PVP (at least was the case when I played in beta). I'd think that should be the main draw - but maybe the game has changed drastically.

Either way, NWN2 is on the way no? Screw MMO's or at least a year.
