Muwahahaha... For some reasons simple yet complex puzzle games with a very intricate plot with cool fighting scenes will hold my attention for very long indeed. Maybe that's why I loved the Zelda series, the Legacy of Cain / Soul Reaver series, and nigh all SquareSoft games so very very much.
That reminds me. I know you can't really compare the two, but if there was a fight between SOE and SquareSoft... I think I'd dedicate my entire time and energy to Sqaure. They are the r0x0r and no matter what future mistakes they might make, they will always have my respect and loyalty.
**edit: added everything below.
Gameplay is first and foremost. I say it is lacking now, and will never be fixed to what I and a good many other players desire. Therefore, for them to keep us as customers while at the same time not changing any game mechanics they could add a little more to the story and playing fields. A little history of the base your fighting over and the vital role it plays in the plot and battle now would make this a truly great game indeed.
If all of you old farts who just like to enjoy watching computer animated deaths for no reason say that we're all crazy and that we should quit and go play EQ - then I will kindly ignore you, as you have me.
And I'm sorry Hamma. Simple mistake! I confused you and Unregistered.
