Kellao Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 eh I thought I might as well make my list of top five worsts for MMO's/RPG's 5. Dungeons and Dragons 4.0 Really...they butchered the DND system. and pretty much destroyed the rules. 3.5 edition rules were much much better. my main problem with it is what wizards of the coast tried to do. see what they planned on doing was making a virtual version of dungeons and dragons (no no no not like Neverwinter Nights completely different) where you could play the board game over the internet. you could make your own model pieces and DM's could put maps together on the computer and you could play the board game over the internet. this wasent going to work...I knew it as soon as I read 4.0 rules set. I think they were mainly trying to compete with World of Warcraft. Unfortunately I don't think WoTC knew what exactly they were trying to do. they had a good effort with the change in rules set however I think it turned people off by calling it Dungeons and Dragons cause its not...nope...no way shape or form. its very evident they tried to make it like an MMO through the way they changed there character generation system to be faster. an appealing thing to a lot of players who really dont give a crap about their characters background or anything or want to make a detailed character and just want to play the game would be that character generation would be faster. the fastest character a friend of mine has ever made on WoW took him 2 minutes and im sure someone can go less than that. in 3.5 dnd it took a long time to generate a character with a computerized generator I got from a website it took me 10 minutes to make a character would be much longer with the books. DND is a good game you plan ahead for and can make characters that actually have a meaningful background. 4.0 probably would have been better as a standard computer game not set up like a board game but set up like Dungeon Runners or World of Warcraft. WoTC should have stuck with 3.5 rules and tweaked it only very slightly. 4. Dungeon Runners its not a really bad game. its good for a laugh. Dungeon Runners is a parody of World of Warcraft and will make you laugh everyone in awhile with joke characters and bosses including "Al Gor the Frost king" or "Mr.Frump and his Board Room" even some NPC's have some sort of silly jokes to them like instead of clans you can have Posse's online and the NPC who helps manage your posse is based off of George W. Bush. he will tell you some things like "Im gonna nick name you stinky so I can say "Heck of job stinky!" hehe" or "I help make decisions about your posse...im your decider!" its rather funny at first but when you actually look at it as a real game...its horrendous. and a lot of it isnt the devolpers fault....okay fine a lot of it is their fault. First problem is there is a LOT of spammers...and they don't STOP! the developers wont even ban them. there is even infamous spammers on the game. in paticular a guy named Baramos. Baramos from what I have gathered is the most annoying spammer on the game...I think he calls himself Baramos after the character Baramos from Dragon Warrior III. they say he never stops and that hes been reported over ONE THOUSAND times. and developers have NOT banned his IP. He's very well known for the way he tosses around the "N-Bomb" some say hes racist others say he just says it to get on peoples nerves...hah on the game hes become something of an urban legend. but enough about the spammers. DR's membership also doesent have much to offer. they have member items which is okay...you level up 15% faster...you find better items more easily. you on priority so your never on que when trying to go into a pvp match or enter a server but then again thats not really a big deal considering that there is very few players on. also pvp is annoying the whole game is trying to find items. if you dont have good items then your not going to o well in pvp. basiclly what im saying is and this is an actual fact. a lvl 16 player with the top of the line items for that level can kill a lvl 50 with some trouble. its worth checking out I suppose if you want a good laugh but not an actual RPG...its just bad. 3. alright going to want to wrap this up soon... Final Fantasy II (well thats its Japanese title in america I believe it would be Final Fantasy III) Not because its bad... but because its a bit annoying and the story is lengthy. you start your game off with four companions only 3 of you make it out alive. and through out the game you get a "replacement" companion who takes the fourths spot who you later get again later on in the game. now this wouldn't be so bad if they gave you a little warning. I mean if it was one replacement for the time being until you get your friend back okay that I can understand but like this you have to constantly change your battle tactics and hell with out a game guide you dont know when your companion might die! and they do die as the story goes on! so if you give them equipment you will LOSE equipment if you dont remove it from them before they die. the games also very lengthy kind of like Dragon Warrior III both of these games I have never finished because I just got so bored with them being way too long and the fact that there isnt much to do. i mean if Fallout 3 had the story length of this game and Dragon Warrior III that would be fine cause you can make a million choices in Fallout 3 but in something like this. where there is only very few side quests and most of those side quests involve the main quest its just awfully boring in my opinion. 2. Final Fantasy VII...nah just kidding if I get the chance to play it ill let you all know though if it would belong on this list XD...Adventure Quest okay here we go...now were deep into the hell of RPG's...actually you know what no. im not even going to explain Adventure Quest. its just so horrible. okay heres one little bit of it. your character doesent even have a gender. the graphics are...its 2 dimensional crappily put together drawings with slight animation! they dont look smooth like in Paper Mario. all you get to make your character look different is hair and eye color. thats it. and the only way to make a character even look female is to give them girl hair. its ridiculous...I mean they didnt even make different genders look different. thats all im going to say on this one I could go on and on but oh my lord...is it BAD so so BAD if you really wanna see for yourself: http://www.battleon.com/ BUT DONT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU. I warned you! okay here it is...the shitstopper...my baddest of the bad...the ugliest piece of garbage you ever laid eyes on. here it comes.... 1. Runescape Strangely one of the most popular RPG's out there. why do people like it so much? I dont know...could it be perhaps that its easy to play? maybe because you dont need to download anything? (well except maybe an update for Java script but thats about it) is it cause its mostly free? well...my first complaint would be its system. the game is a game of skills entirley. and thats it. no attributes or ability scores. no classes either. just skills that you can raise. and these skills are really silly skills too. all of these skills go up to level 100. some skills include Cooking, mining, ...tree cutting??? what the f*ck? TREE CUTTING!? theres skill involved!? I thought it would just amount to be some strength skill and knowing how to cut down a tree with an axe but not according to this game...membership I believe is about 5 bucks a month and what you get out of it is Priority to enter the server, new land to travel, more useless skills, and member items. my biggest problem is the skills...and just how horribly bad it is. they have a slayer skill where you need to slay X amounts of monsters in order to...get another x amount of monsters you must slay...like I said useless. not to mention you get some really bad quests too some of them sound like they could be promising but then you find out its nothing more than a waste of your time and possibly your money. also pvp is bad you spend a lot of the game trying make hard to obtain gold. Obtaining gold in this game is not just tedious its also the most BOREINGASS THING I HAVE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE. I would rather be talked to death by someone trying to sell me insurance. there is a lot of strange fascinations on the game. like the ever so famous "Party Hats" which are worth 8437023473472304370834 or something like that or more...i dont know for a party hat or santa clause hat item which does...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. at all...yeah...thats right they're just "Collectors Value". this is just possibly the worlds worst RPG system ever. However Jagex is really good at getting players. its an odd game very popular game. But im not going by marketing...if I did then DND 4.0 and FFII would definitely not be on this list and neither would runescape which would only leave Dungeon Runners and Adventure quest...and Dungeon Runners would be far worse than Adventure quest marketing wise.as a matter of fact it would be an embarrassment. but im talking about game play. so yes Runescape is number one for worst on this list... put your own list here too if you want im just shareing my oppinion. for all those who are curious about my games selected or perhaps want to see the horror for themselves. hell be my guest. just dont say I didnt warn you cause...I kinda did. Here is the Links: Dungeon Runners: http://www.dungeonrunners.com/ look at these butt monkeys...there nerve..."the mother of all RPG's" my ass... Runescape: www.Runescape.com Adventure Quest: http://www.battleon.com/ Dungeons and Dragons 4.0: just search it on google. Final Fantasy II (or three...depending on if your loyal to the Japanese name or the American name. the game boy advance version has it labeled as FFII) look for it on Ebay if you want the old NES or SNES game or you could just look for Final Fantasy I&II Advance for the game boy advance version.

wasder Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I have to say that adventure quest is the worst possible tthing ever. I'd rather put snookerballs in a sock and attach it to a fan then stand next to it. And it wouldn't hurt to shove broken glass under my nails at the same time. Actually I guess it would. Quite a lot.

Quite a lot. yeah AQuest is really bad. I hate NCSoft in general though. They wouldnt bann this guy on Dungeon Runners for saying the N word like crazy. They say they had to Report this guy like over 200 times with the help of everyother player who was in the chat room at the time. Runescape is full of scammers...man you guys got your own list or did I pretty much hit the nail nice and perfectly sqaure with the hammer? I thought I was being a bit harsh on FFII its not that crazy but it can be a rough game. Dragon Warrior III is worse though as far as length goes. but its a fun game. depending on what version your playing. you got DWIII for Gameboy Color than its easy. just make ever party member you have a thief.

Sarya Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Ever heard of... Limbo of the Lost? I bet you did. No, it's not even really an RPG and wasn't even released, but... I doubt ANY of the mentioned above ever reach that degree of "Worst". Yes, D&D 4 is a crime against nature, not that bad as some, but the very fact of possibility of comparing to the worst is devastating. I have to support the person saying that 3.5 wasn't really bad after all. So sad... And they killed gnomes and half-orcs... and druids... money-loving monsters...

I didn't make a connection at first... too many other bad ideas in gaming world that this one almost didn't seem so surprising... damn, it was so obvious...
