Brad McQuaid interview re. Pantheon

[t0lkien]

I know there is a bit of interest regarding Pantheon here, so thought I'd drop this:

Taking the high road: Brad McQuaid on Pantheon

[Lunababy]

✔ shit-stain art style
✔ non-interactive and terrible gameplay
✔ probably inaccessible (game is confusing to play)
✔ cannot play solo

yup, a real winner right here. what a waste of time and money

It's subjective, but I do think they have some work to do yet in this area. I disagree pretty strongly with your throwaway though.

✔ non-interactive and terrible gameplay
No idea what you mean. It's as close to EQ as anything I've seen *since* EQ.

✔ probably inaccessible (game is confusing to play)
Again, no idea what you mean. Did you watch the recent stream? What are you basing this on? I don't get it.

✔ cannot play solo
Not sure where you pulled this from but it's flat out wrong. It's been stated many times that just like EQ soloing will be possible, but grouping will be encouraged by design.

If what you said was true, I'd agree.

This game is like in pre pre pre-alpha stage. Much of the graphics/animations are placeholders.

Second, that's the point. If you want to solo in MMORPGs there are a lot of those already out there. This game is meant to be a throwback to EQ...

You do realize you are playing basically a 17 year old version of the same type of game right?

Reflexive hating in an attempt to sound awesome. Everybody cool hates Brad, right?

Probably inaccessible? wtf does that mean. Do you have trouble with games harder than Tetris or something?

Cannot play solo...besides the fact that your statement is probably better worded as "not designed for solo play", that's part of what most of us LIKE about EQ.

Sheesh. Yes, it will likely fail, and if launched will have all kinds of problems. It's just the way it goes, these games are *really* hard to do. I plan on reserving my judgement until I get to experience it.

i don't think he realizes he just described p99.

There are only two upcoming games I'm looking forward to, Monster Hunter Generations and Pantheon, and MHG comes out in four days.

I bought a knight level pledge for alpha access and I can barely wait for it, knowing full well it'll probably be a broken mess. RIP Vanguard

That one backfired a bit, eh sport?
