This is a blatant fucking plug. However, since the game has about no marketting in the US right now, I figure word-of-mouth is the way to go.
What’s that I’m talking about? Why it’s Neocron of course! It’s the game that we’ve been waiting for. It’s a FPS game that is also a MMORPG. We thought that AO would be that, but it wasn’t. This one is what you are after. If it will help you understand the game’s premise, it’s pretty much like playing Deus Ex with other players in an ongoing world.
Another really cool thing is that if you hit the official site, you can download a free offline demo of the game. That’s right, you can take it out for a test drive before you buy! So far I’ve had a 100% success rate with people that have played the demo and then bought the game. Actually my success rate is over 100% if you count the fact that my roomates coerced me into giving up my original account with Orion Engineer to be the mule account so we’d have a full-time construction mule. Full-time implanter and researcher on that account now, too.
VEHICLES!! That’s right, you can have hover bikes, troop carriers, buggies, and tanks. Right now my crew has been mass-producing the vehicle with space for a driver, a gunner, and a passenger. Think about the buggy that you drove all over HALO and that is about what it is. It goes pretty fast over the outdoor terrain, and it’s a hell of a lot of fun.
Well, as usual, if you are interested then email me for details on where we play and our names and whatnot. I’ll even make it a point to look at my email once a day for the next few days. Gosh I’m nice! Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The game is almost entirely PVP. This means that if some fuckwad comes in and ninjas your kill, you can light him on fire or blow his ass into next week.
PlanetsideBAH. Neocron can blow me. I’ve been there, done that, and hated it. Just not my cup of tea. Maybe it floats your boat – and that’s cool – but if you ask me (or Jay Sherman), iiiiit stinks!*makes little thumbs down motion*Try Planetside, an ACTUAL MMOFPS. It’s in Open Beta right now, will be released later this month, and friggin pwnz. Vehicles are there, skill trees dependant on XP are there, PVP combat is there in DROVES. It’s just fantastically fun.Give ‘er a go.
NCPlanetside is just MMO Tribes and gets old fast. It has the same outposts copied and pasted all over the map, the game has no real overall objective. Why pay subscription for something that could have just been a tribes mod 🙂
