Gave it a go, Actually pretty enjoying it. THe story is fun so far and i hate ffxiv. At least this is voice acted. The world feels fun to explore and i can kick back and play it on my tv without worrying about binding a billion abilities to my controller. Looking forward to playing some pvp. It also runs pretty well on my ageing pc and looks pretty nice. Started as a sword and wand templar!
I can understand feeling like that until level 20 where the dungeons start opening up, or realizing all the cool events to do and all the other content
I do, it feels like a Paladin build : got some utility and can self heal and heal the party a bit, putting my stats into being tanky though so the healing is for backup, it's very fun! My full tank SnS and Greatsword is definitely MUCH tankier but there's something VERY fun about the Pally build
Leveling to 50 was quite enjoyable and I enjoyed the world.. but after getting to 50 I just kinda wanted to log off and not feeling like logging in anymore lol. It's just not that exciting or special in general.
@@TheNathanNAPALM good question.. I feel like most of it is the timegating which I didn't look forward to. I can't stand that in any mmo. The auction house being full Lucent is also very weird and unfun to me. Other than that I mostly just care about gameplay and while it's not bad.. the combat isn't amazing either. I'm not saying it's a bad game or anything, but to me there's nothing that special besides maybe the world itself and it just feels kinda "meh" overall and maybe just not for me with timegating. I need to be able to progress as much as I want and when I want.
One thing with the morph system. There is no cast time. You literally just morph into the animal and get increased movement speed. This means the game is inherently a lot more fluid and faster than having a static mount.
The years of teases and controversy with T&L lowered my expectations, so maybe that's why I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy this game. I've only got a dozen hours into it, but so far it seems like a solid MMO with nice graphics that belie it's free-to-play status. And NCSoft put in those magically reloading hand crossbows from bg3 so I'm all in;)
You actually played through the story? I would agree with you if we're only talking about Reborn's story, but beyond that Heavensward on, is HANDS-DOWN the best storytelling in MMOs and possibly videogames in the whole. 10 million people agree
@@TheNathanNAPALM I would’ve agreed with you before Dawntrail. Really put me off the game. Loved HW, SB, and EW. I also think there’s an aspect of Stockholm Syndrome w/FFXIV, given that the MSQ is mandatory.
You'll see, this isn't anything like those, those were trash games that I quit playing after a day. Throne and Liberty : already look around at the people loving it, it's going to make it unless NC or Amazon screws it up
People just like to jump on band wagons and its easier to hate then make there own opinion. I mean one guy compared this to diablo immortal did he even play the game? Lol
yeah, i played both ... dont like both, for similar reasons... sry if i dont like something you do like and you have the urge to tell us that we are haters and didnt play the game. Lol
Yeah comparing to Diablo Immortal is no beuno to me : not the same controls, graphics, style, genre, nothing, and tons of people who hate it are complaining about the tutorial, like... play the game.
@@AutomanicJack I didn't say you was hating directly must be a guilty conscious? I said people lol. I did mention you comparing it to a game that's not even similar besides killing monsters lol. Why would you ever play a phone game? You should prolly play a casual game if you're trying diablo immortal. D4 very casual, last epoch is great also offers alot more then D4. Since you mentioned a arpg some other games. Cya around buddy!
Loving the Game have a Guild with my Family and just enjoying it, Guild is full with a wait list and I like that brings back Lineage 2 vibes grind it out talk crap and just chill with new people and friends. Also never been a big PVPer but the PVP is really fun and there is alot of it, but I like that you can just go OK no pvp for me just leave the area and go do something else for 30 minutes.
i think this is one of the greatest free games ever made, up there with genshin and hearthstone... BUT i didnt like playing it, combat didnt speak to me, i was looking for public raiding, but i didnt evenn like the single player combat, not hard like new world or challenging in any way, felt like mowing down grass, bored me
Yeah feels like a good game to kickback with a controller, since there's only 12 slottable abilities, you wont feel like you gotta figure out how to bind a billion buttons to your controller. Pretty fun game so far. Better than i thought it would be i usually dislike modern mmos.
If only Visionary Realms who is making Pantheon had access to the T&R engine they could make an amazing game. When you play T&R then jump back to Pantheon it’s kind of depressing when you compare the graphics, engine and ability to handle tons of people in a single area.
@@LancelotNZL most of the game doesn't appeal to me, i could go on an on about it but that just means its not a game for me. Enjoy if youre playing it.
No it is not, but it is new, it does work, and it has its own unique spin (turn into a beast). I think however it has a VERY good chance to be successful and find its community which is terrific. As we do not need any more failed cash grabs in the mmo space.....
Hey man great review and presentation! I’m into the same games as you and want to do reviews, I’m just a new creator and still learning. I liked how you moved your cam around while talking, makes it more engaging! Cheers!
I'm more interested in the social aspects and community side of MMORPGs as a roleplayer. Most modern games are MMOnotRPGs, and is just a bunch of people soloing and murderhoboing everything... or if there is a PUG, no one talks and is in a rush to get to the next new shiny or to quickly finish the dungeon. There is no idle chatter/comraderie, no strategy and everything is just flashy set pieces for low attention spans. I wonder if this game is more of the same, or am I out of touch with the modern gamers? This is the reason I still stick to and cherish the older and retro MMORPGs. Somewhere along the way MMORPGs have lost their way and I'm always disappointed on every new one that comes out. I'll probably give T&L a look though but I have super low expectations.
i agree a as well . i tried all free mmorpg and i come to conclusion that all of them are always the same , doing the same errors . i don t know why but in the new mmorpg games i can t focus on the story and the battle sistem is so boring mixed with stupid currency and a lot of items that are useless . there s no thrill to stay with the story or to try to make a unique character , build or strategy , there s no thrill exploring or when you find new items . the crafting sistem is boring . if you try to make a diference between the new mmorpg and WOW or FFXIV you will see is almost the same crap . this are type of games that remind me why diablo 2 was the perfect game with that bad graphic i stil return to that game nowadays , imagine that . i remember tons of game with bad graphic that are way more better than the new ones . why is that tho i don t get it . they lack imagination and skill to make a good mmorpg , maybe money i don t now . but if they lack money do rpg and it s goin to be a better inversion .
played it for few hours... got Diablo Immortal flashbacks with all this upgrading, crafting, all the ressource items, dozens of menus and rewards ---i get a headache from this.. did uninstall.. this game is not for me..
I love that you level the weapons for your class, like New World. However, what I was disappointed to find out is that I will not be able to level all the weapons like New World, simply because the grind is too much at higher levels. Hopefully it is something they change somehow in the future.
I’ve been saying on some of your live stream for months about this game and I think it’s going to be a hit here. They did a lot of things right And the PV is good and so is the RVR and PVP it just offers everything well done You know a lot of people try to give NCS a bad name, but they’ve made some great like city of heroes and behind a lot of guild wars too
I'm old school and can only handle 1 MMO at a time. Is this worth the switch from say EQ2 Origins or even New World Aeternum? What is the appeal with T&L? Just because its shiny new doesn't make it better....right? Keep up the great content Nathan!
Yeah it's going to be different for everybody, but I played Aeternum, thought it was cool, but T&L feels more MMO style : I mean public dungeons and all the events, I'm loving it so far
All it is is ff14 with more pvp and pay to win. Only good thing about the game is the UI and controller/console support. UI is amazing but will not hold me when it is a story based game with bad story telling. The combat is just mobile phone pvp made in ff14.
@@juncture231 lol haha u clearly dont know what youre talking about then, the two battle passes are mandatory if you wanna compete, u can buy the best gear in auction house and use it to get best traits, as f2p u can play as much as u want p2w players will stil be stronger, even the biggest content creators for the game like Kanon say its p2w,so theres no debate about it. When next tiers come out you will feel it a lot more btw
@@juncture231Ehhhhh, the combat and pacing is way faster than ff14. Active blocking. The story is an afterthought, where as ff14 lives off story, hours and hours of story. . .
We just fired it up too and have been trying it on the tv in the living room. Runs out of the box on our Linux PC console hybrid machine in the living room at 60fps despite the old low-end hardware (i7 6700, 16 Gigs, Nvidia T600). The music is really, really well done and goes so well with the ambience sounds. We just spent 20 minutes listening to an npc sing us a song and play guitar in the city. NCSoft knows how to play a nice tune too because I still remember the wonderful Lineage 2 ost like it was yesterday when I first heard it. Visually it's good and gameplay with a controller feels good too. So far we can't complain that much especially since it's free to play and we haven't had to spend a single dime so far. When I say we = my wife is trying it and I'm in the background with the kids.
