Aion is SO CLOSE. I hate the goldspam you’re talking about, too – drives me batty, when I know that’s the cause of so much lag in the bigger cities. Beyond that, it markets itself as a PvP game – and I HATE HATE HATE PvP. I’d be playing the game with the intent of avoiding its major advertised draw.

And as irritated as I got with the Warcraft PvP changes and how they affected my PvE game, I can pretty much guarantee that if I got truly stuck in Aion, I’d end up frothing at the mouth and biting strangers on a weekly basis out of sheer frustration.

Torchlight and Trine, eh? I haven’t looked into either of those yet.

*laughs* Ah, we’re such techies at heart. <3 “green” and “pretty” are perfectly valid reasons to buy a second PSP!

Regular games just…aren’t the same. The social aspect is so very key. Once you’ve had it, playing games without it is…well, I can think of a rather crude analogy but we’ll go with butter.

Once you’ve cooked with butter, you just can’t switch to margarine and not notice a difference. I’m sorry, but I CAN believe that’s not butter.

*sadface*

If you didn’t live like…all the way on the other side of the planet…we’d invite you over for rockband. =]

Wow gained my eternal scorn when they brought in the pet store. I resent games immensely that use RMT, but next to a subscription model… this was the ultimate betrayal. Wow is dead to me…

I fooled around with Aion for a while before being driven out by the sleazy horde of gold spammers and botters. The game itself was fun and had the slightly more hardcore quality I was looking for, but I just got sick of being unable to talk through constant smiley filled messages advertising ‘cheapest Aion Kinah! Sorry to bother! :) :) :)’ I think that last ‘sorry to bother’ bit enraged me more than anything else…

Torchlight… oh how I love Torchlight… Also, Trine is a brilliant game, check it out. In the times away from my PC I’m really enjoying my PSP. In fact I bought a second one… cause it was green… and pretty…

Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars (for PSP) rocks muchly. It’s just retro enough to be cool but the gameplay is slick and well developed. It’s my current obsession.

I still keep feeling like I want to go back to another MMO though. I seem to feel unfulfilled without one. Fallen Earth looks cool, but my PC is going to struggle with it.

Feeling a tad lost and adrift in my gaming life right now…
