The Bad Rant

I was watching some gaming related videos last night and decided to take a peek at the other video at game trailers dot com when I found this atrocity.

Just in case you can’t open the video or dont understand what the guy is talking about let me shed some light for you.

 To create Silverfall we gathered a group of skilled individuals and our goal was to create a universe that was as integrated and as consistent as possible with an emphasis on fun. An immersive universe and a story that could engage the player.

Translation: We were too incompetents to create a game so we payed some peoples to do it for us. Note that they talk a lot about a “Universe” and im pretty sure that what they mean by that is that you will be able to play in the world that they created and see a sun rise and set… maybe some stars that you wont be able to visit too.

We wanted to fully immerse the players, give them more  freedom in the game with the characters that they identify with. We settled on four ethnicities and two genders. We figured that would be a good basis. That choice gave us a lot of possibilities, a lot of diversity.

So because I can select my race and chose to be a guy or a lady im supposed to feel free and immersed? And what about “a lot of possibilities” and “A lot of diversity” 4 races and 2 gender is enough diversity for you? All the rpg games I have played have more selection then this.

The Silverfall universe was designed to be the setting of a hack & slash game. At the level of gameplay we wanted to add a lot of immersion and freedom this led us to the story of the choice between nature and technology which led us to modify the universe. This is the sort of evolution that took place.

In fact I remember hearing that Silverfall was designed to be a Mmorpg but I just learned that they decided to make an action rpg with it instead because they messed up really bad. Not to mention that Hack & Slash games are the worst rpg games you can ever find on the market… with a few exceptions.

 We wanted to do something more exciting then to just give the players some homes or little wings, that’s been done before. So we asked ourselves “What would be fun for the players to do with the character?” for example transforming into a werewolf or having a huuuuuge gun and a cyborg like arm. This seemed much more interesting and these choices resulted in a world full of creatures.

Oh yeah… I would really like to see my character take a second generic form provided by the game creators or have a different weapon that does massive damages… wait… that’s been done before. As for owning your own house in a mmorpg ( A house that would be part of the game world and would actually be usefull ) and wings that would allow a player to fly in a 3D Mmorpg… that remain to be seen as far as i know.

So in short they have failled to show their so called “Universe” failled to show the creatures of the world ( just a brief presentation of the 4 races ) and they’re full of shit.

This game could have become a good mmorpg but they litteraly failed and now the game will be some lame action rpg. I pitty the fool who will spend money for that game… it’s not even out and the ratings are going through the floor… litteraly.

Rune Scape is the worst of all mmorpg ever created. And since nobody never take what I say for granted let me explain it to you in the meanest possible way. Yes, I am talking about an interview with myself.

Q - What is the customer target demographic of this game?
A - I would say around 0 to 99 years old because you dont really need any skill to play the game. A baby could bang the mouse on a table while the game is open and it would be enough to earn experience points and gold coins.

Q - What references did Jagex used to build the world of runescape?
A - I think those guys played Dungeon and Dragon while they were kids and used folded paper houses and trees to make their adventures more enjoyable… they most probably just scanned those inside a computer and added them to the game. The rest is just random stuff they created out of their butt.

Q - How does the game skill system works? 
A - Pure randomness. Beside the fact that you unlock new skills by leveling, levels have nothing to do with it. You could mine a coal rock for hours before obtaining some coal ore when you’re level 30 and still mine that same coal rock for hours when you’re level 75. What’s bad about this is that you get the impression that you are getting better at something by repeating the action over and over again but the truth is that levels in this game exist only for competition purpose.

Q - Does timing really matter in RuneScape?
A- The whole game is based on timing. If you started playing when the game was first launched you are a god compared to other players by now and by god I mean a total retard. There is always a way to go faster in the game and usually you do this by making the game play for you so instead of playing the game you can go take a piss or something.

Q - How much does the players enjoy playing RuneScape?
A - About as much as a junkie enjoy his crystal meth.

Q - What does the future hold for RuneScape?
A - Future and Runescape… good question. Since Jagex created all those useless skills like Firemaking, Cooking, Farming, Slayer, Hunter, Agility, Woodcutting and Construction instead of actually developing a decent gameplay experience that ressemble a massively multiplayer online role playing game or balancing the fighting so that we can have some player versus player action im thinking the game should remove all gameplay ellements and start competing with Habbo Hotel or Second life… seriously, it would make a good cross between both.

Q - How popular Runescape really is?
A - I made the math myself and look what I found…

…80% of the members ( Their forum is only accessible for those who pay ) are unhappy and only 20% are happy even tho I wonder how anyone could ever be happy playing this game… maybe it’s those who cyber in the game and are not aware that the person they just had a virtual intercourse with are of the same sex as they are since there is no girl playing… just guys with girls avatar.

Q - Thank you for your time. In closing, do you have anything to add?
A - Runescape fail.
