GAMES - Legend of Ares
My brother has this tendency to download all the open-beta MMORPGs online to expand our current gaming lineup. We've tried almost everything local from Ragnarok to Ran Online - games that works really well on older PCs. The last openbeta that we played for hours was RF Online, a weird game that tried to blend mechs, fantasy and scifi in one game. The game made me puke though, not due to the game quality which was so-so, but due to the weird way they made the 3D designs that looks like a .1 upgrade on the old rpg Septerracore.
Since I worked hard to get myself a "more than decent" gaming rig [for a shuttlexpc], I was looking for something that is more visually stunning, more system demanding and highly entertaining. The game that really kept me so interested on the MMORPG scene was Guildwars. My personal character alone had more than 1000hrs of constant gameplay. When the game arrived in Manila, I had to bribed some of my friends so that they could grab me a copy and have it shipped immediately. When the sequel was available for preorder, I went direct and bought one from Amazon and have it shipped to another friend in the US. However, things went wrong and it ended with me paying for 2 copies of Guildwars Factions. Now I currently have 2 copies of both the original and sequel, one serving as my permanent account, the other serving as a backup and a digital pack mule for items gathered during the game.
As of today, there are currently two games on Korean open beta that can counter Guildwar's stunning graphics and impressive gameplay: Sun and Zera. However, the need for a Korean Social Security Number for the beta testing was a huge detterent for the general MMORPG population so most of the gamers have to look for other alternatives. The current available open beta game is another Korean game called Legend of Ares. The game is about the war between the empires The Holy Empire and The Religious Alliance of Arabic and the interference of Greek Pantheon to the Arabian gods. I got lost on the introduction since the site isn't visually friendly and the writer of the introduction seemed to have used the thesaurus function of Microsoft Word to make a bland story sound important, resulting to an irritating read.
The gameplay is typical hack and slash rpg. Nothing unusual about it. The prob though, it is hard to connect on the game since they only have 2 public servers and probably allowed everybody to join resulting to constant disconnection at the starting page. Another would be the camera angle which cannot rotate on all directions. Also, the game looks really old for a 2006 release. The characters looks blocky in the "Dungeon Seige" kind of way, the terrain looks like something out from Doom and the user interface has the ugliest set of icons ever made. The game compensates on the constant floating guides on the corner but it gets irritating after you get a constant barrage of those posts asking you to do this and do that. The map on the corner is badly made, i no matter how you rotate, the guides or arrows to the quests or locations seems to be stuck forever on one location. Even the NPC's are hard to find. With all the decent online games out there, this game will have problems breaking into current gaming markets around Asia.
