Dreaming of Warhammer.

Is it odd to be dreaming about an MMORPG that is yet to be released? I'm not even on the Beta!

I can't wait for this game to be released. My destiny is chosen.. literally. I am choosing Chosen. Haha, I crack myself up..

Anyway, there are some great Beta reviews I have been watching on youtube by a guy called br3ntbr0 - should go and check him out. I recommend him purely because he's had alot of experience with MMOs and so he pretty much knows what he's talking about and looking for within an MMO. Although I am a cynic when it comes to reviews, I think we can trust him! His blog can be found here.

CHOSEN RAWR!

I just feel like playing something masculine and powerful for a change.

So, not much else to update. Once Warhammer is released I am definately going to be doing more blogging on that.. for the time being I am catching up on the Lore using wikipedia and such. I have been playing a bit of Phantasy Star Universe and Lost Odyssey for the 360. PSU is an MMO for the 360, but I can't afford to subscribe at the moment so just playing through the single player campaign. It's quite sweet, music is fun, anime style characters and hack and slash elements to it. The controls feel slightly stiff to me for some reason, but I guess I will get used to that.

Lost Odyssey has a beautiful story behind it; classic, magical and quite tragic. The Skill Link ability within the combat element of the game is unique and allows you to be a bit more creative with your characters which is something I love doing the most within RPGs. I think it is important to reach out beyond the box of the typical "tank, spank and heal" structure to truly get what you want from your characters and be initiative. The combat is turn-based but allows you to get more involved physically with the combat with melee characters when you are made to judge how well a melee attack will hit by a 'target-ring' system. When it's the character's turn to give a melee attack a ring appears that you control to make it hit the 'bullseye'. When it hits the bullseye spot on you will get a perfect attack and the attack will hit for a little more than 'Bad' or 'Good'. I usually screw up and only get 'Good' attacks though! Practise makes Perfect eh..
