Gave it another try a few days ago since I got Storm Legion free, tried an adventure zone, then logged out. The gameplay is just way too clunky for me to enjoy it.

exactly how I feel about WoW; well sort of; uninspiring is the word I prefer.

Hasn't this add been around for like over a month now? I've seen it many times here.
Not exactly, lots of games can pull you in within the first few minutes. I don't know what it is about Rift, there is SOMETHING off about it though. I have played many different MMORPGs for a decent amount of time and enjoyed them, but Rift I was only able to handle until about level 6 or so when i logged out to extreme boredom. Tried twice even. I really don't know WHY though. This is obviously different for every person, I know, I am not a blind hater, the game simply didn't click with me. Originally Posted by zeropeorth

My God, what a horrible creation. People seeing what they want? Thank God they tried to shy away from that. I know it pisses me off when I'm in an heroic raid, yet in the back of my head all I can think is 'some casual player is playing a heroic dungeon and not wiping.' -Vodkarn

Those first few minutes can be deceptive. Wow..bored within 5 minutes...got to level cap @70 only because my bf at the time leveled w/me the entire way...then discovered raiding, fell in love, discovered pvp and fell in love again. Been playing pretty much ever since. SWTOR....fell in love instantly, but ended up not all that impressed w/endgame...Rift has been growing on me, steadily. Glad I gave the game a second chance, I bought the game when it first came out then ended up unsubbing...got pulled back in recently and it's been great. Originally Posted by Vongimi

If something isn't grabbing you out of the gate, why continue? "Huh. It's not fun yet. I'll just wait longer." I had the same experience with Rift. Twice. Originally Posted by zeropeorth

That said, the panda snorting soda did make me chuckle.

To be honest the 50-60 lvling is completely boring and rubbish if you choose to do quests (even when you do them first time)... it's even more boring than lvling a damn alt from 85 to 90 for a 4rth-5th time. I've done 2 lvl 50+ zones and they look generic and the enemies are boring. So yeah... Rift is boring for me, not sure about endgame though. I wish I could lvl faster to try the raids really so I could judge better.

That doesn't seem to be bashing any game though. It reminds me more of Coke-Cola advertisements w/ bears drinking sodas.

I can't think of how many movies have terribly slow first acts (I'm looking at every super hero movie that took more than 20 minutes to establish who this person is and what makes them superhuman and why I should care), tv shows that didn't get amazing until later on, or even books with too much prologue. Sometimes you gotta slog through the crap to enjoy the candy you have later on for a treat. Originally Posted by Woceip

If one doesn't enjoy the basic gameplay or concepts of a game there is not a lot of reason to stick around though. Or "suffer through" it all.
What I mean is that if say the mechanics of a Mage or Cleric in Rift don't seem interesting to you at level 10, being level 60 will not change that at all. You'd still operate as a Mage or Rogue at level 10 or whatever.
Gameplay doesn't usually change that dramatically in an MMORPG. And certainly not in Rift.

That add isnt saying that any game is bad. Its advertising Rift, and make a joke at the same time. No bashing was had. Originally Posted by Zyalo

Oh you guys, ignoring the panda <3
moonwhile my mostly-champion kelari warrior is level 32, I love not paying a sub, so much more flexibility with my game time

Rift would be worth trying if people who made it could understand that using easily readable font for basic UI and chat is actually a good idea. Or at least letting people select font.

You do realise that a lot of gamers base their experience on the first X minutes. Not on endgame right? If the game fails at pulling you in at the start of the game, why should you stay? Because of "epic" endgame? Originally Posted by zeropeorth
