AS a consolation prize for being a paying Tabula Rasa customer at the time they announced they were shutting it down, I got a free 3 month subscription to Lineage II and City of Heroes. Yesterday I downloaded Lineage II and gave it a try this morning.
First I should note that it took all day yesterday, from 8am until well after midnight to download Lineage II, and before you ask... my net does not suck.
Anyway, I played Lineage II for a couple of hours this morning, and I gotta say... playing a game on a PC that was this obviously designed for play on a console does NOT thrill me. Yes, the graphics were nice if a little old, but clicking where I want to go, in 3rd person, instead of just walking in first person... not my fave. The combat system is also obviously turn-based with very little visual feedback lending to the feeling that I was playing on a Gameboy.
I hear that this game has over 2 million Korean subscribers. Glad to hear it. They can keep it.
I guess it is time to spend another day downloading City of Heroes. Maybe that one will feel as good as Tabula Rasa did, but I kinda doubt it.
