The Last Poster Wins! [v23]

There was another zombie game (Last Day on Earth: Survival) that was just so laughably bad and poorly designed. The graphics were beautiful and so nicely detailed, but that was its only saving grace and I feel bad for the graphic designers that likely spent so much time and effort into those resources and game assets. The actual gameplay itself was a joke. It was impossible to kill anything with your starting equipment (which consisted of a cheap blunt weapon and barely noticeable armor and when you died (not if, WHEN), you lost everything and there was nothing around to help you recuperate what you lost. So you're literally just running around in your underwear after that with even less than what you started off with. Trying to scavenge for the most basic equipment and materials was always a suicide mission even at level 1. On top of that, you were subjected to PVP right at level 1 (always a horrible idea, give people some time to even learn how to play first). So if the packs of zombies and other overpowered mutants weren't tearing you apart, other players were. Even after losing everything, I was getting warnings about "Incoming Horde" and a "Starvation" warning. Things were so beyond hopeless I actually found it comical how badly Murphy's Law just completely devoured this game every millisecond. And then uninstall.

I remember that one. I think the last time I played it they just released the gender update and suddenly my character was female? I never found a way to change it back. They did have a good few ways to stay alive, but I hate how everytime I logged back on my entire base was leveled by the hoard. It shouldn't be totally destroyed every 24 hours. That's just a bit unfair. I mean the floor and equipment and chests were still there, but every wall was just gone.

I don't get how it's rated so well when it's so anti-newbie. It was almost as bad as Everquest, where you're killed by rats and always one slight mistake away from losing all your equipment and days worth of exp grinding.

Everquest almost permanently murdered any desire I had to give the MMO genre another chance. I swear, the developers of World of Warcraft must have analyzed that game, pinpointed all the things they hated and felt were grossly unfair about it, and made sure none of that crap happened in WoW. It was so good for a long time, but then I think too many expansions drowned it.

Well now they've got multiplayer added and clan stuff apparently. I guess cause they've got an interesting concept to them game? Maybe? I dunno.

My MMO experience was kinda weird at first. Some dungeon game that I don't even remember, but then it moved up to RF Online. One of those you don't see around anymore, but one of those that was pretty great until the group had to shut it down. Some MMOs were really great though. Like Vindictus was one of those that stuck around for a good many years.
