    Nov 19th, 2010 at 22:26:21     -    Far Cry 2 (PC)

    I had such high hopes for this game because the first Far Cry was amazing, but this one has nothing to do with the first one, and suffers a lot of game-stopping problems according to me. I installed it and started it up just fine, and the first 10 minutes of the game are breathtaking as you take a taxi ride through an African countryside that is just beautiful to look at as the driver tells you about the current war going on in the country. As soon as I got out of the taxi, whoa, nausea alert! I never feels nauseous playing games, never ever, so my super deductive abilities tell me something is going on with the game. First, the mouse has a lag, like move the mouse and it takes half a second for the cursor to catch up to the movement. It makes aiming, running, looking around, feel sluggish like your character might be drunk or something. It gets 5 times worse in menus so it's difficult to click on an option. This got dizzying real fast. I looked up the mouse issue first, found that a lot of people were having it and people said it felt like console shooter aiming, which I realize it does. Computer games are supposed to be totally smooth and responsive. I updated the drivers for my mouse, which didn't do anything. Other people suggested tweaking various graphics options, including using DirectX 9 instead of 10 (lame!). I tried all this and nothing really worked. Changing DirectX helped a little, but I still felt sick playing. Some people had a fix to go into some file and change some mouse sensitivity values, so I did that and it also helped a little, but still there is lag. So then I gave up and started looking for players getting dizzy playing and, surprise surprise, found a lot of people having problems, and they appear to stem from the fact that the FOV is off, which was supposedly fixed in a patch that I downloaded, but I swear it's not. I think they fixed a widescreen issue where the game was cutting off the top and bottom of the screen, but they didn't fix the thing where, when you're on a console, you're sitting farther from the screen so your focus is going to be at a different angle than sitting closer at a computer. So this is what was causing people to feel bad.

    Anyway, no real fixes for everything combined. I can get the mouse a little better and can turn off widescreen altogether, but I can tell it's still not right, and that's too bad. The game itself seems like it could be really fun, but already I found a super annoying thing that I know will get to me. The enemies respawn really fast. If you completely destroy a guard post to get to a quest objective, do the objective, and come back, the whole guard post will be rebuilt and repopulated. It's stupid. So you can't go anywhere without constantly being shot at, having your vehicle blown up, having to get out and fight a few soldiers. This wouldn't be so bad but the mouse thing is still sluggish and so more I have to try and aim, the more sick I feel! And if you load a saved game, hey guess what, all the enemies are respawned! Did you save the game with almost no health at a guard post? Well have fun loading it back and dying immediately because the guard post is respawned. There's also a stupid concept implemented, safe houses. Safe houses are places you can save the game. Except you can quicksave the game anywhere. So why do you need safe houses to function as save spots? Oh right, you don't! How pointless. You can also stock up on weapons there, but I find weapons of all enemies so I haven't felt the need to go get specific weapons.

    Like I said, despite the respawning enemies and a couple other things, and imagining there are no nausea issues due to bad console porting, there are some cool things. The game feels like GTA: Africa. The map is huge and there are a lot of points of interest, like communications towers, private residences, military headquarters, and so on. The only problem with that is literally everyone wants to kill you. Everyone hates your character, and I for one have no idea why since I just arrived in the country. How does everyone know me? Why does everyone want to kill me? I feel this isn't part of the story and certainly doesn't make sense. Maybe later in the game after I've gained some notoriety it will make more sense. So you basically take jeeps, trucks and hatchbacks and drive through the jungle from objective to objective, stopping where you please to look and wander and kill soldiers. Or, you are looking for diamonds, the game's currency. You have this cool PDA map that alerts you when you're near a diamond. You follow the tracker and voila, cash to buy guns and gun upgrades. There are over 200 diamond caches in the game, and I found about 20, so yeah, there's a lot of space. Unfortunately it seems like a lot of time will be spent driving from point A to point B, and again, if enemies didn't respawn at guard posts along the roads every few minutes, this would be more fun, because I enjoy driving through the forest, just not being shot at all the time and being shot at at guard posts that I obliterated a couple minutes ago. At least make it more realistic and have them respawn once per day or something.

    There's also a buddy system, where you encounter other mercenaries such as yourself who give quests, offer alternative ways to complete story missions, and help you out in need. One time I was (almost) killed and a buddy just came out of nowhere and dragged me to safety, then helped me clear out someone's private residence. It was pretty cool. Apparently you get reputation with buddies and factions throughout the game maybe the more of their missions you do or the more you interact with them.

    What else...Yeah, that's about it. This one's going back on eBay and I'll find something less painful to play. LOTRO is on hiatus because I don't have a mount, I don't want to buy one, and I want to start an alt, but they're releasing a giant patch that's updating the Elf and Dwarf starting zones in a week, so I'll wait for that and then make probably an Elf Champion. Should be fun. Maybe I'll go try the Left 4 Dead single player. Sounds like a good idea.

    Nov 18th, 2010 at 07:24:45     -    Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar (PC)

    I'm officially into this game. I've had an absolute blast this week playing my way through all the beginner content up to level 22 so far. Sort of unfortunately, this is where the F2P players will hit a wall and want to buy some Turbine points, but on the plus side, Turbine's payment model is the best I've experienced. They've got three subscription tiers: free, premium, and VIP. Free players play for free, have the most restrictions (which are basically negligible until where I'm at, mostly because at level 20, you can do a mount quest -- only if you buy it from the store or are VIP), and can purchase Turbine points or stuff from the store for Turbine points accumulated in-game. Players get bumped up to premium -- forever -- if they make a single transaction in the store to purchase Turbine points. Premium players get a few more perks like 2 more character slots and a higher gold cap, nothing really. VIP players are those who pay the regular $14.99 monthly subscription and they get full access to everything, except special things they can pay extra for in the store, and they get 500 Turbine points every month for that anyway. So here's the deal. If you ever went VIP, as in ever paid for a month, you go back down to Premium when you quit paying -- forever -- but you retain certain luscious VIP benefits such as 5 bag slots instead of 3, the ability to sell things on the auction house, removal of many chat hurdles, no gold limit, the riding skill to get mounts, and a couple other minor things. Here's the other trick. Free accounts get two character slots, while premium gets three, so if you make and level up two characters to 20 or so (for mount skill), then time your VIP right, level up a third to at least 20 before the month is up, then you'll have three characters with free mount skill, and any character that you played during VIP retains all those random VIP to premium benefits, so you basically would have 3 enhanced premium characters for timing it right.

    Obviously all this is precluded by one's decision to stay with the game for some time. I mean, I've got like 6 level 80s in WoW, and I've leveled up countless characters in countless other games in my life, so leveling 3 of them up to 20, which will take however long, and paying $14.99 one time for this triple-A game is such a good deal. Plus I figured out how to earn Turbine points in-game. You do deeds and complete special quests. My level 22 has about 100, which is enough to buy the Lone Lands quest pack that should take me to like 35. Plus, each character you make just contributes Turbine points to your total, and things like quest packs are available to all characters, so it's a huge benefit to get extra Turbine points. Plus, and this is really it, I have really been enjoying this game, like a lot, so I want to play it more.

    LOTRO does have its slight downsides that I can talk about, such as a lot of quests that have you running back and forth, back and forth to NPCs, the endless amount of quests to just kill boars, bears, and wolves, which, thank god, might have lessened out of the sub-20 areas. Middle Earth apparently has a plague of nasty woodland creatures. Those are my two biggest complaints, and they're not that big. I expected LOTRO to be a bit more epic, but after playing and thinking about it, it's epic in a subtler way. The tutorial and early main quests are amazing, action-packed, urgent, just superb. Then the game mellows out some, and just as I found myself against that F2P wall and out of the newbie zones, it seemed to be about to open up again. Here's the weird thing. All the boar and bear killing just seems okay in this game. Something about Middle Earth, running around Bree and the Shire and so on, is innocent. High fantasy doesn't have vicious trolls and dragons roaming the countryside. That's where the people live, and in a place like Middle Earth with its huge cities and townships, there are a lot of people. They've got a lot of things to do and I think from reading the books and seeing the movies, and having LOTRO being just a big cultural thing in my life, I find myself more interested in the world, including the people in it and their daily lives. If some Hobbit wants me to go do a lot of quests involving a missing pie, I'm going to like it because, aw, it's a Hobbit and Hobbits like to eat a lot and I've basically grown up with Hobbits in my head. So in a sense, this game is excused from giving me a lot of pie and bear quests because it just feels right. Now, if it keeps it up, it's not okay, but like I said, it's getting darker.

    Here's another initially upsetting but now exciting thing, and half the reason I thought this game would suck when it first came out. You don't play as a hero in the books. You can't. You're just in that world while the Fellowship is on its quest and the events of the books are unfolding. A long time ago when the game came out, I thought this would just be a terrible let-down, and I thought that the game would suck on principle because it's based on such a popular IP (that was made into movies, and although great films, everyone knows that movie games are awful, except for Chronicles of Riddick). Anyway, point being is that the way the story is told, the way your character is placed at the periphery of the events of the books, is, so far, absolutely brilliant. I care. I actually care about an MMO's story. I can get into single-player games that have finite beginnings and ends, but MMO stories I could never really get into because there was just too much, too dense of a mythology to learn about that didn't prohibit my enjoyment of the game if I was clueless. But in LOTRO, I already know the story and all the main characters! It's brilliant. I automatically care about what's going on and I'm deeply curious and excited to be a part of it. See, your character is involved in side-plots that take place weaving around the main Fellowship quest. You have a series of main story quests, arranged as volumes and chapters of a book, that deal directly with this, i.e., I've encountered Strider and other rangers. Strider was on business of course following the hobbits. I found out from a Baggins that Frodo had a ring and that's why Sauron's minions were casting an eye on the Shire. I went to see Tom Bombadil, who led me after the Witch-King. My current quest seems to be following the Witch-King around and preventing him from interfering with the Fellowship. You basically are a hero behind the scenes, making it so the Fellowship can complete their journey. This encountering book characters and playing a part in the unfolding of the book plots is just...just...no words.

    That said, I'm not sure this is something to play through any more than once. I do want to try out some different character classes because the game is even fun to play, and I will, but as far as story, I feel it could turn into a level grind after you've done the main quest already, which I'm not necessarily into at this point. For now, I just want to try out another class, pay for a month at some point, try out a third class, buy quest packs to get through the main story line with lots to do, and see what's at the end of the game. My character now is a Lore Master, which I'd compared to a Warlock in WoW, but that was after a few levels and now I'm not so sure. He's pretty unique. He is a pet class, and now I can summon a raven or a bear. The bear is more tank-like, but still not a very good one, and the raven's special abilities include making targets vulnerable to fire (I cast a fire spell or two) and rendering archers impotent (which is a great help). I like the bear because he takes a little more damage, holds aggro a little better, but I like the raven because he just debuffs and confuses enemies. I tend to swap them out. And then my abilities, I have several offensive spells, but the main focus of the class seems to be debuffing. I have several stuns, a cool Earthquake spell that roots targets after 10 seconds (so cast it, attack, attack, then when they get near you and rooted, run away and finish them off -- good for survivability!), debuffs that decrease attack speed, melee damage, chance to hit, and so on, and then a couple heals and a couple power abilities that let me suck power from an enemy and transfer power to an ally.

    I haven't played with a group yet, but I really want to since I'm not going to do anything else in the game, except level another character to 20, until I pay for a month, which won't be for a while because I want to actually play it a lot when I have all the VIP perks for that month. There are instances (for 3 or 6 people), and the first one is low-20s where I am now, and I want to try it out. I think MMOs are largely defined by how fun the group play is. I remember trying EQ2 and going into a dungeon, and thought it was the dumbest thing ever. So hopefully I'll enjoy these. There are also Skirmishes, which are like PvE instances events, but not dungeons, where you can replay some little story arc over and over, setting the difficulty and the number of players, and getting Skirmish marks, which you can use to buy various rewards for yourself and to upgrade your skirmish NPC, which is an ally who will fight with you in skirmish battles. You can change everything about him or her, the class, equipment, traits, even appearance! You buy them stronger abilities and they basically level up along with you if you keep them in tip top shape. PvP, or as LOTRO calls it, PvMP (player versus monster player) sounds incredibly cool, but alas, it's only for players 40+ VIP. Maybe I can get a character to 40 during that free month to try it out, but basically one side are good and one side take the role of monsters. Something like that. Sounds interesting.

    What else is there? LOTRO has a deep, deep crafting system that I both love and hate. I like it because it's a bit different than how I've crafted in other games. You gather materials, easy enough, and then when you make stuff, you begin as an Apprentice. There are a handful of tiers, all the way through like Grand Master, but each tier has two levels that you have to fill up, Journeyman and Master. It's just a lot of gathering and making things to level it all up. I want to see what all professions can do in the game, but it seems like it'll take a long time to level them for the promise of great rewards. I perhaps naively chose two gathering professions and tailoring since I wear cloth. The gathering professions just tempt me to stop all the time out in the world to chop wood and mine ore, which is a fair amount of time spent. It's kind of rationalized though in that I know no future characters will take those professions and have to gather, and I'll have materials for things they might choose to make.

    The graphics are still amazingly beautiful, and I'm still in love with the soundtrack, except only when you encounter a monster, which triggers this annoying rap song in my head because the beat kind of sounds like the chorus, and it's been stuck in my head now for a week. Apparently you can learn how to play and compose music in the game! Minstrels do it as a class, and they can mentor other characters in the use of instruments. It sounds neat, but I haven't really explored it. There are also guilds, or kinships. I haven't joined one, but i really want to. I don't know anything about how they work, except that they have levels which I assume have meaning beyond the cosmetic, and they have like guild houses, or at least people can purchase houses for the guild. I mostly want people to interact with. There are a ton of people in the game any time of day or night, which is awesome. I chose a populated server and with F2P, there are lots of people in the lower zones. Housing is another amazing thing. I've never played a game with housing, or at least I haven't gotten to the housing part. EQ2 had housing, but I didn't like the game, and Oblivion had housing, but I got bored of the game before I bought one. In LOTRO, you don't just buy a house; you buy an entire plot of land! Some houses are bigger or smaller and there's actually like a broker who tells you what's available in which neighborhoods. Yes, there are neighborhoods. You get your own space and address. You can zone into a neighborhood and see each person's individual home, their yard decorations, etc. I'm not sure if you can go inside and look around other peoples' homes. Every time I tried, it seems the person hadn't been paying their rent, but so I wonder if a lot of these homes aren't just essentially abandoned by older players. Still, the individual home and address thing in actual space in a neighborhood with other people is extremely cool. I have about 3/4 of the cash needed to buy the cheapest one!

    That's about it. This game has lots of potential to continue being awesome. I foresee getting more into it in the future, and hopefully it stays cool in later levels.

    Nov 13th, 2010 at 23:31:02     -    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (PC)

    I didn't expect to write about Call of Duty yet, but the single-player game is really small and I beat it in just three short sessions over a week. I bought the game over a year ago, maybe even a year and a half ago, and just never got around to it. I suppose I had some sort of expectation for CoD since it's insanely popular, high expectations. As I played the campaign, I was initially disappointed, but by the end I had experienced some shock and awe. It's clear that this is a multi-player game through and through. The single-player portion is all squad-based so you're never truly alone, and I feel like it just prepares you for online action. Of course, the AI is dumber than real players, but the teamwork, the tactics that work and don't work, you can practice offline. I found my teammates to be good role models. They take cover, they crouch and run, and sprint when it's appropriate, provide cover fire, toss grenades, etc. Having played multiplayer and being massacred, and then playing single-player, I feel relatively more prepared to step into the chaos online again.

    So why was I initially let down? The game is 100% action-packed, like riding a huge wave, the entire way. But the beginning felt like an action-packed shooter that I've played before. You run through some middle-eastern and eastern European extremist-infested cities. All the countries over there are unstable and going through regime change and power struggles, and they've all got lawless militaries that you've got to gun through to get to the leaders. So you and your squad, in both the characters you play as, one in Europe and one in the middle east, frantically perform mission objectives and kill bad guys. You have to listen to lots of military guys yelling in military jargon and watch a lot of cut scenes with technical parameters of weaponry and such, which is always what turns me off about war games. I don't care about the .22 caliber blah blah with the blah blah bullet rounds that fires x times per minute and can puncture steel with x depth penetration from x meters away in rain but not sleet, or the size engine of military planes and what bombs they all drop. Don't care and not interested. I also tend to dislike just the attitude of war games, which is hyper-masculine kill people, defend your honor and bravado, and always comes across as trying to sound noble and heroic in the face of tragedy and death. I mean, those hint at my views on war and violence and masculinity anyway, so war games can grate on me if they are too typical in that sense.

    Call of Duty 4 looked like it was going down that road, but then it took a nice turn toward the serious when the story picked up somewhere between the nuke going off and the helicopter mission to gun down the enemies using just some technology to detect them, not infrared, but something like that, not with simply sight. The story was heading toward typicality, but as you hunt down a warlord, a nuke goes off, and brings some drama and urgency to the whole thing. You then look to Russia to find out where the nuke came from, which leads you to this older Russian military badass guy with one arm (you get to blow it off in a visceral flashback mission where your commander missed assassinating him just barely). You have to go after his son, which you chase through a village/military complex, at the dead end of which he blows his brains out. In retaliation, the Russian general guy launches 2 nukes toward the east coast US and it's a race against the clock to abort the launches and escape the facility. The last missions, I'd say after the son's suicide, are just awesome. And there were a ton of awesome moments throughout the game too, mostly involving things getting blown up, like helicopters, tanks, and communications towers. The game looks phenomenal, and I was pleasantly surprised that after, what, 3 years maybe, it looks so amazing. It certainly made it more immersive, when it was already there. Even though I poke at the story and triviality of the early game, it was still completely engrossing, like, what it was doing, it was doing great. I actually saw my stepdad playing CoD4 a long time ago, years, and I kept wondering when I would get to the level I watched him being stuck at. Turns out it was the very end when you're racing the clock to abort the nukes. I wonder if he ever beat it.

    Perhaps the most exciting thing about CoD4 that I hope other people got out of it, was that it made me think about war, the media, and the world today. Games with nuclear weapons always tend to strike a little nerve because there's always some nuclear threat by some country, and it's like, yeah, someone could launch some nukes, and any other number of attacks, and obliterate a chunk of people. The majority of us actually not being dead is impressive to me. Peace is very precarious. We (in the US, Singapore, the West in general) are very lucky that we don't have to directly deal with, on a daily basis, war and the threat of war that so many less fortunate people do. In these places where our video game Marines are fighting, civilians are dying all the time, but we tend to forget that. CoD actually hide this from us, as it never (or hardly if I'm forgetting) shows civilians, alive or dead. They simply aren't there. We do know they've been killed by nuclear weapons, but we never SEE them or interact with them or have to deal with them in any way. This is where our media comes in. The media can reveal or hide events. I found it interesting at the end of the game after you abort the missiles and escape (and one of the most epic very last parts of a game ever), the news reporter reports on rumors of nuclear testing in Russia. Nothing happened, just rumors of testing. This is the official government line and the media has to report. I can assume that people soon will go do some investigative journalism and uncover some of what really happened, but in this case, the media relays the Russian government or military's assurance that it's all right, it's okay. And of course the player knows that, yeah, it's okay because the international and US special forces saved the say, and their accomplishments are going to go unrecognized by everyone on earth, but it's just part of their duty, and they love keeping the peace and taking out the bad guys. Oorah, right? Which should make you think if special forces can influence such events on the side of good, surely they can do so on the side of evil or moral ambiguity.

    This brings me back to that helicopter mission I talked about. It made me really uncomfortable. Why? Because I couldn't actually see who I was firing on. Looking down, I just see a lot of white and gray human-like figures running about, and I have to rely on orders to say who I'm to shoot and who I'm not to shoot. Some people below were flashing, and those were our allies. Others weren't flashing, didn't have tracers, and those were enemies. It was very impersonal, firing a gun hundreds of feet up from a helicopter picking off groups of enemies, or people I was told were enemies. We've all seen stories uncovered where gunners of this perspective and others have killed civilians, bombed churches, and so on, because they were acting on orders or thought they were firing on bad guys. Or worse, we've heard instances of soldiers killing civilians and committing other crimes just because they can. I wonder how many regular people I killed in that mission? All I know is whenever someone died, I got approval and praise from the officer radioing in my ear.

    Another point that I'm not sure whether it was a design intention or not, is that I was initially very, and still somewhat, easily confused by who is an enemy and who is a friendly. The enemy soldiers looked really similar to my teammates to me. The thing is, if you stop to look, you get killed, but if you just fire on a hunch, you can live. So what if you see someone who might be a soldier or a civilian? If you shoot, you live. If you don't shoot and it's a soldier you die, so what are you going to do? You do what I ended up doing because I got tired of dying to enemies that I thought were friends. You shoot first, think later. This caused me multiple game overs due to friendly fire, which I think is funny because it's a serious no-no, yet so easy to do! So bravo to the design team if they did that on purpose. I mean, obviously the guys with socks over their heads are enemies, but really, at least in the first half, I was having trouble telling who was who.

    And the most important question of all: Why do eastern European bad guys always wear track suits?

    First (second) impressions of LotRO are positive. This is the next of the games to try that have gone free-to-play, and according to Turbine, they doubled revenue the first month of going F2P, got back 1/5th of old players, got 1 million new accounts, and have tripled the number of players online. Like, wow. After playing DDO and EQ2 F2P, I can say LotRO's is infinitely better. Not only do I enjoy the game more, but the F2P model provides more options for actually playing for free if you want. I hear you can play pretty much the entire game hassle-free, which, if it's anything like the quality of the introductory levels, is awesome. I feel no limitations with my F2P character so far. I see I only have 3 bag slots, which is fine for now, and infinitely better than EQ2's smaller 2 bag slots. I'm sure there are probably some chat and mail and auction restrictions, but so far the game is so engrossing that I don't really care. This is in contrast to EQ2 where I was bored out of my mind after 10 levels. Granted I'm only 6 into this one, but it's looking bright.

    I made a Human Lore-Master, which I can best place similar to a Warlock in WoW. I cast spells, have a Raven pet, can put DoTs and debuffs on enemies, and even have a nice self-heal. The class seems unique still and has a little different feel from anything I've played. You start the game in a race-specific tutorial instance, which in my case was busting out of a prison to rescue some hobbit and a man with another NPC, but at the end one of those hooded guys with the cold blades stabs the man you were trying to rescue, and at the end of the introduction, level 6 or 7, he turns and follows the bad guys after they all burn the human starting town. The tutorial is a private instance, and then the introduction is a public instance with just other beginners. Actually, I just assume the beginning was Man only because I remember when I played a dwarf a while back it was a different starting area, but here I saw hobbits too, and I thought they started at the Shire. Anyway, the story is presented really well, and even though it's something similar to stories I've played before, it's mixed with LotR lore, which makes it better without diluting LotR. I mean, if you didn't know anything about LotR, it would be straight up recognizable fantasy, but having seen and read LotR, I at least recognize some names of places, the races, the hooded guys, what happens if you get stabbed by one, etc. Yea, otherwise it's killing some boars and spiders, finding some herbs, saving a town from bandits, which happens in a very cool instance with a lot of fire. The cool thing though is the little quests mostly relate to the larger story line of trying to save the guy who got stabbed and trying to unravel this bandit plot to sack the town, which they are under orders from Mordor or something to do in order to retrieve the guy who got stabbed. So it all makes sense.

    The game itself is absolutely gorgeous to look at and the music is wonderful. One time in town, there was an NPC playing a tune and it was just so nice to listen to, and fit the mood of the town, that I sat and listened to him play and watched a cat walk around, sit, lay down, meow, rub against the musician's leg, for 10 or 15 minutes. I just looked at the town. I did the same thing out in the open. I just looked. I hardly ever take the time to just look because I usually find environments fairly uninteresting, but LotRO's is beautiful. There are lots of green trees, grass, tall grass, sparkling water, amazing dynamic shadows and lighting, mountains in the distance, rocks and boulders, and rolling terrain. It's not all flat and boring, but looks like a countryside with farms.

    The combat feels a little slow to respond, which could be a little bit of lag on my end, not sure though. I get 'can't cast while moving' messages sometimes. Like, I have to move, make sure I stop, and then cast. It's just a little less fluid than I'm used to. That's really the only hiccup. Everything else is good, or I'm learning how to do it better. The spell effects are pretty too. The training system is familiar to any other MMO. Go see your class trainer every level or 2 for new skills. There are like 5 menus, sets of abilities, talents or whatever, that I can see but can't access and don't really know how, when, or where to get them. I hope not too many are locked in F2P. I have no idea how long I'll play this for. I imagine until I hit some kind of F2P wall, but the genius of F2P is going to be when someone figures out how to make players invest so much time for free that they're willing to subscribe later or buy from the store. All other F2P games didn't make me want to keep playing because it felt so constrained, but LotRO seems more my style and less constraining, so who knows.

    One reason the F2P model here is more attractive to me is because you buy things with Turbine points or something, which you can use cash to buy, OR can earn in game. This one is new to me, earning points in-game. Now, I don't know how to do that, but it sounds like I could theoretically unlock the most important stuff I want to have without paying any money. If I'm enjoying the game anyway, and I can unlock things by playing it to make playing it even better, well that's just a win-win. This all depends too on how interesting the story is for me, and how much LotRO feels different from WoW or other single-player fantasy games I've played. I don't want to sink time into a game I've played 10 times before and then not be able to do anything at a high level unless I start paying for it. If the game is completely entertaining all the way, then that's fine, but I won't grind levels if I don't expect something cool to happen. So yeah, I'm thoroughly impressed so far. A lot of other people seem to be too. There are a ton, a ton ton ton, of players starting out. I haven't seen so many new characters in a zone in a long, long time. I grouped up with one person, who asked me if I played CoD: Black Ops, and I had to tell him I just started playing Modern Warfare. He named our group the Lore-Masters of wherever we were, asked me to explain my tactics in hypothetical situations he imagined, and tried to recruit other people to join our party. It was an interesting interaction for an hour or so. S/he seemed like s/he may have been playing the game a while, but seemed very noobish. Like I'm noobish to LotRO in particular, but I would only show it related to LotRO-specific things, not to playing an MMO in general, which, since LotRO feels very much like WoW, standard, I picked up immediately. So, we'll see when I get a chance to play around some more in Middle Earth. I want to beat Call of Duty's single-player mode first, which I'll probably have time to do today and get that out of the way. Then perhaps Middle Earth at home for a while.
