Bored of the Rings
Posted in Game Related Blather on April 27th, 2007
Lord of the Rings Online is one of those rare mmorpgs that I want to want to play. Unfortunately for those of us that are sick to death of traditional mmorpg game-play and systems it’s just the same old game in the guise of Middle Earth. The music system incorporated into the game intrigued me, but not enough to overcome the doldrums of boring repetitive quests and number crunching combat systems. The game-world itself is pretty, but you can only stare at the same bloom intensified speed trees for so long before the scenery loses its luster.
For a lot of the people who were introduced to the mmorpg genre with World of Warcraft, and the Lord of the Rings fans who have never played an mmorpg it may be an enjoyable game. It’s just not my cup of brandywine.
