This was an easy to understand and well made video. Despite being an older gamer who loves RPGs and had a love a while back for certain MMOs, I never played this one. Im waiting for thr Black Friday ps+ subscription sale and maybe a sale for the game itself on the PS5. Despite a comment here about the crafting, most reviews and feedback Ive read has been extremely positive about the crafting, so Im looking forward to trying that too.
I have been playing WoW since it was released 20 years ago, I used to carry on with end game Raids back in Vanilla, Molten Core, Naxx etc, but once TBC got released I stopped doing end game content, what for? Just a few extra bits of gear? I did play New World on PC 2 years ago, but only played 3 hours, now fast forward to now and I just purchased New World Aeternum on my Series X and I am loving it, the leveling and quests are fun, farming matts ( which is what I love to do ) as I am the sort of player that will max out its crafting system if I can, but does that mean I will carry on with end game gameplay? No, I will reach what I can Gear wise and crafting, then stop. I am too old now to be bothered with chasing gear just for a GS of an extra 1 or 2 points, I'll enjoy MMO's the way I like to play, and have fun doing it.
I like that style of play. Of course I'm one of those people that chases the best gear but I respect people who enjoy a different play style and would rather just relax and gather resources.
NGL, Think the endgames good. we got a good raid, it's more fun than I've found vs tab target mmo raids. just need more of them. once we have 3, and you can keep changing rewards. Now we're onto something. big L not adding hive leaderboards though...
Once there are a few more raids it will be a ton better. I equate this game to Destiny. It was tough when the game first came out but after 10 years there is so much to do in that game
I put in about 20-30 hours on console so far, I'm completely new to the game as well, I heard about it when it first came out but the reviews wasnt so good so I stayed away and naturally it died. So I was skeptical to buy it now but I now heard great things about it and that it played good on console, also I had recently tried TnL reached endgame there and was already bored because lvling experience was meh and at endgame it was nothing but terrible RNG for gear with time gated content and stunlock PvP so nothing interesting, also PvE felt terrible. So I needed a new mmorpg to waste time on and I'm so glad I bought the game, already from the start it felt better than TnL both in the atmosphere and gameplay and a lot of other things. So coming from an absolutely terrible mmorpg experience for me this felt amazing, now I am at lvl 60 so I haven't reached endgame yet but even if it sucks I at least enjoyed my experience to get there so I will give them that. I already know from previous mmorpgs endgame tends to be bad and al you do is login daily to get some stuff then there is nothing to do unless you have a bunch of friends and a guild going. I will dive into joining a company and trying the PvP stuff once I get to 65 and I will see then how it feels. But again if I can get 100 hours of fun or more for a 60$ game I think it's acceptable considering you get the same amount in singleplayer games if not less sometimes. People just needs to learn that you cant expect to find a game you can play for the rest of your life, if you can that is great but don't expect it because it almost never happens. So move on to another game until new content is added then come back.
New World runs like absolute dog water on my computer. Ran better at launch on same rig compared to now, very odd. When it actually manages to let me log in and play, I have a total blast!
It's and ARPG, not an mmo, let's not forget this. There are group content, but most of the leveling process is solo...which is normal in an mmo anyway, no? I don't think there is an mmo that requires a group to level up, not one, none at all. And yes, while the leveling process is solo, you still have alot of group content, whether you choose to participate is on you. I mean, even the chest runs are a group activity...sure you could solo it yourself, but it would take you the whole day vs a couple hours with a hundred other players. So tell me, what part outside of the leveling process is a solo game? Do tell.
I feel they heavily concentrated on the solo experience up to endgame. After that you need to do multiplayer otherwise I believe your endgame will be very limited.
