Hey, I am a recent discoverer of the MMO genre and enjoy a good space swashbuckling in eve online. The control system is fairly awesome except that you click to control your vessel...whether it is a frigate or a leviathan deathstar like thing. (would totally be neat if frigates had to use joysticks)
anyways a few months back I tried out Aion as it seemed to be a neato upgrade from the World of Warcraft that I never had a desire to play in the 1st place. I was immensely surprised to find that combat involved selecting an enemy and then clicking on various combat moves...
I was appalled and immediately wanted my money back, but I played a few missions anyways because I already opened the box etc. In eve online it makes sense to push buttons, on lets say...a control panel of your ship to activate weapon turrets. When you strike out with a sword pushing a button seems a bit daft.
I was even more appaled to find out that ALL mmo's follow this combat system of fail and more are set for release later this year with the same crap. WHAT GIVES?
If the new final fantasy requires that i select baddies with my mouse and push buttons to swing a sword I will be royally pissed. In fact Im fairly sure its going down that way. *gets pissed*
I found few articles related to this critical downfall upon a swift google search. Does anyone else share my disgust?
WHEN WILL THEY MAKE AN MMO WITH A COMBAT SYSTEM LIKE OBLIVION. PPL WOULD EAT IT UP LIKE PR0N IN A PRISON, NO?!?!
