Well single player games can bounce back thanks to a more involved storyline, in a single player you're the one that saves the world, in an MMORPG you're some guy. To be fair I only enjoy RPG's with a different/unique battle system, Star Ocean IV having the best I've played in recent years.CapnCloudchaser wrote:I know what you mean, I spent a while looking for a different MMO, which is why I settled on Aion and Star Trek. Aion for the flying and flight-based combat, and Star Trek for the universe as well as the ship combat, which is actually really well done.
Most of the problems with what you've mentioned in regards to gameplay mechanics and questing are found in a lot of single player RPG's though, do you enjoy normal RPG's more, or less?
I think the problem with graphics is then being PC based, although some, like Aion, are getting graphical updates in the future.
Actually, this reminds me of Guild Wars 2. From the news that I have gathered around, it sounds like they're really trying to reinvent the MMO experience, so it may be worth keeping an eye on!
I was going to give up and play Phantasy Star: Blue Burst but that appears to have been taken offline
