Looking to the future in gaming
May. 30th, 2009 09:43 pmThe two MMOs that I'm the most excited about getting into are, unfortunately, still in development. Those being:
--"World of Darkness": I can thank "Dragon Guy" for getting me into this, even though I've had to content myself with reading the corebooks, since I have not been able to locate a good troupe in the area. I'm thinking of porting my MxO characters into this, since there's an urban fantasy slant to their personas.
--"Star Wars: The Old Republic": Two old friends from MxO have invited me to go over to the Dark Side with them. I may not be big on Star Wars, but it will be fun to muck around in a galaxy far, far away.
But till those are released, and till I get a better GFX card for my comp, since my current one is acting dithery after four years of running MxO, the gang of people I play MxO with are looking to:
--"City of Heroes/Villains": I'm looking at this universe with a hint of "Watchmen" in the back of my mind, despite someone in the group considering the look of the game "cartoonish". Plus, the Rogues expansion coming out soon is going to give us Chaotic Neutral Mervs a chance to be our usual not-so-bad but not so good selves. We're even thinking of running this (at least among ourselves) as something of a MxO-crossover, with Paragon City and the Rogue Isles as "part of Rhodes Island which the Machines sealed off from most Redpills".
And Jim Butcher plays on the Virtue server, so who knows? We might bump into him some night, which would be insanely cool.
