I’m in the same boat. It reminds me of borderlands meets Halo and while I LOVE both games, I am becoming less and less of a person who enjoys open world looting games. I will give it a fair try and probably enjoy it. I’m hoping its good enough to last me more than a few months.

I’m also in the same boat. The whole idea of massive open worlds, classes, and organizing players into Fireteams appeals very much to me, but the gameplay just looks bland. I guess you could say that about games however, watching and playing a game can feel very different. For example, I got different vibes imagining how early Halo 4 multiplayer would play like from playing the finished product.

Lol those too. But yes I’m playing H2 first thing once I get my game :wink:

I’m not a social player, but I just can’t understand why they have limited these “Fireteams” to just 3 people.

Repainted the rims myself lol

It’s a good thing it’s not an MMO. :stuck_out_tongue:

If anything, this game reminds me of Borderlands and Mass Effect. I love Borderlands and I’ve always wanted to play a game like Mass Effect but never got the chance.

Bungie may say otherwise, but it’s core concept fits the definition of an MMO.

Massively. Multiplayer. Online.

(That’s what Destiny is)

You could put those two games in a blender and probably end up with Destiny.

Hey, everyone! How y’all doing?

The only problem is that it doesn’t fit under the “Massively” part of the acronym. You can only do missions with a couple of people and you even have the choice to do missions completely alone with no one else running around.

I’ll admit, it’s very close to looking like an MMO, but from what iv’e seen, the game doesn’t really act like other MMO’s that much.

RJCCJ, your a good racer. Been going head to head with you and ThyReaperMC on Forza 5 via Drivatar lol.

The more people the cheaper tickets/season pass is. Season pass is what we’re doing as we’re going more than one day.

Wow! Thanks! It has actually been awhile since I have played Forza 5. I have to admit however, facing other peoples drivatars can be pretty hard sometimes. According to people i’ve talked to however, they said my drivatar is actually very reckless. lol. :stuck_out_tongue:

Unfortunately, I don’t live in the States, nor am I visiting them anytime this summer.

Lol both you and Reaper have a tendency to catch up to me in 1st on the last few turns of the last lap and try to ram me lol. Wonder how my drivatar does.

The MMO aspect of the game has me a little concerned for a couple reasons.

  1. Because I have never played an MMO game before.

  2. My gaming time is limited to an hour or 2 here and there. Long term gaming sessions are few and far between.

But I figured I’ll give it a shot as the game play does look interesting and I’ve heard that you can take things on solo as oppose to going in with a group.
