Default Re: Write a Brief Dissenting Opinion About a Popular Title Thread.

I'll do a World of Warcraft, and really all MMORPGs one.

The appeal of WoW truly escapes me. I played for about a month then quit out of sheer boredom. It's just so damn repetitve. The gameplay is incredibly tedious. Quests are so repetitive and unimaginative - Kill 10 baby dragons and 5 lion cubs so you can get some gold and xp. Now level up and buy new equipment. What's the big difference? You now do 2 more damage when you whack someone with your sword, and take 2 less when you get hit. Now go kill 10 teenage dragons and 5 lions. Repeat until you get to level 60 or fall asleep. What's the point? What am I achieving here? Nothing more than being able to say that my character has ever bigger numbers to his name. There's just a total lack of motivation. Sigh, it's sad to see that traditional RPGs in the Baldur's Gate 2 mold seem to have become a niche genre.
