MMOMFG : NHL 2010 Review - Xbox 360

That goalie mode actually looks pretty entertaining. If hockey wasn't for Canadian rednecks and homosexuals I would probably give it a shot.

I would say you have a fair criticism, and one that I tried to specifically admit during the preview. The article is a collection of thoughts on the initial gameplay experience of Aion. My experience is that based on what I played, I had no interest in continuing to play to later levels. Other people's opinions will of course vary. If the PvP experience is so integral to Aion as you suggest, I would ask you why it takes so long to get into it. PvP is the key aspect of Warhammer Online, and is possible to be immersed in that experience from level 1. Even WoW, where PvP is largely an afterthought, allows you to PvP at level 10.

Not sure how far you are into 12, but keep an ear out for an Uematsu easter egg of sorts when you take the bounty hunt for Gilgamesh. The fight with him takes place on a bridge and the music during the fight is the appropriately named Uematsu track "Clash on the Big Bridge" from FFV.

I can't tell if you are 7 years old or just ignorant. All of your comments about flying have to do with movement and not combat. I said that I appreciated the uses of gliding for getting around. If you want to fight someone in the air, however, you are stuck with the same crappy attempt at 3 axis combat. You have a problem with the comment about channels and PvP, but couldn't be bothered to read the next two sentences: "None of us were able to experience the PvP of the game in the time we had to play, so we are unable to speak as to how that plays out. I would have to assume that PvP areas are not instanced." Who is lazy now? My comment about the amount of bandaging relates to pace of play. Having to bandage after every other mob killed makes the game less fun. This isn't about being casual. In WoW I leveled both a Rogue and a Warrior to level 80- two classes with no healing abilities other than eating and bandaging. I don't have a problem with having to recover health while questing, but in Aion this happens far too frequently. You should be extremely proud of yourself. In the month that we have had this website up and running, yours was by far the worst comment we have ever received. You managed to completely miss the point of every single comment you took issue with. Congratulations, most people would have to work extremely hard to be that stupid.

The main problem for NCSoft is that the clock is ticking on them. WoW will have Icecrown Citadel coming up soon and then of course Cataclysm which is going to reel back in lost subscriptions. If they don't make a splash now, there may not be many people around to experience all those content patches.

Thanks for the comments, Fred. I agree 100% with everything you said.

Cam that is exactly what I was thinking. If Symphony of the Night came out and was built to play like Oblivion or whatever other game of that type you want, it would be a huge fan favorite. SotN was a really good game, period. It wasn't good because it was 2D.

I would question whether or not you really enjoy them because of the fact that they are 2D, or because they are good games in general.

I'm not sure I understand why that is sad. Video games are made for the purpose of entertainment. If a format is no longer entertaining, why should we lament its passing? The real story here is how I am right yet again.

I can see the accessibility argument. I still have to believe though that most consumers view 2D games as being, I don't know, niche games? I think people see a 2D game and think, "Hey that is a neat look," but I don't think that opinion really has a lot of purchasing power, so to speak. Like I commented on the Lucasarts article, I think those games are the kind of games people will download off XBL or PSN because they are cheap and look halfway interesting, but I don't think people will pay 60 dollars for something like that and spend a lot of time playing it.

You were just arguing for these kind of games on the roundtable! It probably cost nothing to make and they can sell it for 5 or 10 bucks or whatever on XBL and make a profit. People like Dustin will buy it because what is 10 bucks, thats practically nothing.

I didn't think about it at the time, but Beau's article kind of ties into our discussion on sandbox type games as far as the idea of manufacturing content goes. i think some of these games were hard to force you play them longer. I mean, Castlevania had what, 5 levels? And it's not like they were long. The only way to keep you from blowing through it and quitting after 15 minutes was to make it impossible to get through them. Or remember that game Kung Fu? It had 5 levels that were all the exact same thing! You just went from one side to the other before going up to the next level.

I do remember hearing that about Ninja Gaiden as well, though I never played it. I remember playing Battletoads on Gameboy and there was one level that was a side-scrolling flying level that involved dodging walls of spikes that flew at you. Eventually they were coming so fast you could barely see them. Pain in the ass level.
