Scarlet Blade - WOW

[unholytestament]

So I am browsing this game's cash shop on the website for obvious reasons and I had to just sit back and be amazed at one thing I saw.

The lingerie unsealer. This item costs 1999 AP and is required to remove your starting undergarments. Meaning you can't change them until you have paid real cash. So even if you wanted to check this game out just for fun you have to fess up to paying money for your character remove their clothes if you want to check out the other lingerie.

I... Can't stop laughing...

...Wow. I felt really uncomfortable watching those 'trailers'. I assume this is a game you need a penis to enjoy?

i don't have a penis, but i could enjoy it.... if it wasn't a steaming pile of shit. click to move, grindy bullshit, and the models are bad.

i totally wouldn't mind a goofy, pretty much naked game. but this is just a badly drawn hentai pic made into a game.

Their only hope is to make this into a sex MMO.

I mean like, It's not gonna change their demographic at all.

I'd happily write a long review of the game, but I'd rather not bore people to death.

Other than the nudity the game is really not that fun to play and gameplay itself is really bland and generic, but I did not expect anything different from Aeria Games. The PvP matches are boring as hell because it turns into a smaller version of WSG, where all the combat is in the middle because noone has a clue what is going on other than "Yay shoot other players instead of boring NPC mobs."

I am a man and when I saw the secondary login screen show up, I couldn't stop laughing.
The nudity is so blatant that it made me chuckle and laugh at every character I saw. I grinded my way to level 17, got the mech, tried pvp and went "Meh, not great, but E for Effort."

Oh and the giant mech was a nice touch, but extremely boring considering how little you can use it.

Speaking of sex MMO's, have you seen what Second life has to offer? It's cybersex on steroids.

Click to move is only if you want to, you can use WASD.
Looking from an objective standpoint, the models are still better than World of Warcraft, much more so in fact.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry at this game, shallow gameplay, which in turn they are trying to attract people with nudity instead..

Partial nudity, but then you can spend $20 to get full nudity.

But you can get porn for free so....??

I love the class descriptions:

Archetype: Defender
Base Clone DNA: North American
Height: 6'6"
Bust: 38F
Waist: 26
Hips: 39

Glad I knew her bust measurements, pretty important when you're picking a class.

What killed me is the 69 ap shop

69

They def want to sell sex...

Well this is probably popular in Japan. This is kind of their thing. It seriously is. Japanese culture is very weird to us in the west.

Here's a promotional mouse pad for Record of Agarest War(game from Japan). http://s115.photobucket.com/user/Dom...40043.jpg.html

That mouse pad is excellent lol. Id buy one if I was browsing at a game store and just found one. Even though I never use mouse pads.

Seen this MMO blow up over the past few weeks just because of how it is in korea. Look what happened to Tera and the Elin race. What happens in Korea, stays in Korea. Nothing that makes the hype of this game so big, would ever be even considered in the western world.

Disregarding the obvious, there doesn't seem anything amazing about this MMO, afaik the combat is similar to Tera, graphics are a bit, meh even for a cartoony game (Reminds me of Ether saga online which is many years old) and with it being published by Aeria games, it'll be pay-2-win. I will pass.

afaik the combat is similar to Tera

Not even close to TERA

[Valeron]

Aye, the combat isn't anything like Tera's.

The combat is pretty much like WoW's combat.

[Lagwin]

Aye, the combat isn't anything like Tera's.

The combat is pretty much like WoW's combat.

Prety much...was actually not to bad considering...nothing great, but something you could easily play if bored

...What the hell? Who cares about the 3 sizes? Hahahaha wow. This is definitely going on my list of games to never ever ever play.

when i said the models are bad, i mean they're bad like... the women's boobs and butts are disproportionate. like a bad hentai drawing lol.

and i couldn't use wasd when i tried it.

Look what happened to Tera and the Elin race.

What is that meant to mean? That has had nothing but a net positive effect on Tera! No Western MMO and certainly no AAA MMO had such a character archetype - this was a huge and unique draw for many players, either before they got the game or once in it, and for the rest it was certainly not a reason to not play the game, lol.

If Tera can even be considered a "failure", it has managed to do that quite effectively to itself from its core gameplay with initial limited content, the usual Korean/Asian grinder nonsense (for the endgame) which has happened to many other games, plus release issues, especially the disasterous publisher in Europe.

Also, there are a lot of sexy MMOs, e.g. Kabod Online, Tera, Vindictus, C9, Blade and Soul - many of which are played in the West. If this game fails for its niche, it will fail just because it is a bad game, period.

This is sorta relevant and hilarious http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2013/04/24 would anyone play over-sexualized male characters if they were available in a game like this?
