Games like these always manage to disappoint or annoy me, they throw out fantastic ideas and just turn them into a crappy RPG game where you have to level up to beat everyone else, when will game developers realise they've over-saturated the market with this crap? The only time I consider RPG games viable is for singleplayer or co-op and that's because you don't need to worry about game balance then.

Look at games like World of Darkness and the recent Old Republic, the old republic could have been a fantastic game if it was singleplayer or co-op multiplayer and I suspect that World of Darkness is going to follow the same route of all the other MMORPGs of offering up PvP for people who want to win easily.

When are we going to get another Everquest 1 where if you die you lose all your gear and half your experience if you and your 50 friends don't take down that dragon or giant quick enough? I bet if we had a Serious Sam MMOG people would love that idea because it would be just shooting down hordes of monsters constantly with your friends.

Looks very nice.

Yes I dislike Gundam/Armoured Core style mechs personally myself. The last mech game I really enjoyed was Chrome Hounds, the mechs in that where like the ones in Mechwarrior. There where more mobile builds but they traded agility, durability and firepower for a wheeled chassis. The wheels where not skinny pathetic things either, they had huge dumper truck style hydraulic frame steering and they gained or lost speed slowly along with a wide turning circle at speed and where more vulnerable to damage than legs or tracks.

The squad and role based multiplayer with a persistent player influenced campaign was sweet to.

Key word old.

Armored Core went downhill IMO.
The original was the most fun, but two was good.
After that it went downhill IMO.

That's creepy. I had a friend who was a few years older than me, except I remember I used to crush THEM all the time...
