    Glitching in VR really feels like a stroke... The first time a VR game crashed on me, it just froze an image onto the headset and my brain went haywire with the disconnect between the motion of my head and nothing moving in my vision. The only time I actually came close to throwing up because of VR.

    It's sad that the game is being dropped but I feel like you really hit the point. Doing things like relaxing in the inn playing chess or chatting after a long playing session become a real thing in VR MMOs, gathering in town meeting places become more than just watching your character and typing, it becomes actual interaction. I can't wait to see what the future holds for stuff like this.

      @@X862go no, the issues that have frustrated their playerbase are not due to hardware limitations, they are because of idiotic and incompetent design decisions. Like launching new redundant content like the sky island, launching pets with non working pets hot on the heels of the players spending a full year begging for them to fix the non working class skills and broken dungeons, launching 1/3rd of a class with zero clear roadmap for if or when the rest will be made, launching a whole new game that is literally only a gear grind, and giving all their players an instant level up to max level negating the reason to play the game at all. Or picking an arbitrary launch date, then having a beta week in which they don't listen to any of the "testers" and launching anyways because it isn't actually a beta test it's a hype generation period.

      ​​​​​​​​@@viewersforme839 When it released it was top selling on both steam and meta, even topping Elden Ring and Dying Light 2. All of the servers they planned were not nearly enough for how many people wanted to play it. (Estimation is between 130k-450k players)
      It started dying really fast because it was unfinished, had nothing to do, did not have everything they promised at release, were ignoring feedback from the players and you had 2 starter classes that were boring super fast. (They went from 4,6k peak to not even 300 within a week to now more than 2 years later not even 30)
      The mage class you spam trigger and the Sword class you swing your arms around. None if them come close to the Ninja in enjoyment (The Ninja class he played here released a year later than promised)
      They did not fix the issues of the game but instead started making a f2p while ignoring the now dlc for months. They made no useful updates in more than 2 years.
      The development team was very overambitious, understaffed, inexperienced and this is the result.

  • @CaptainNoFace
    @CaptainNoFace 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +39

    The part where you say about "A time when MMO players spoke to each other." is so spot on. I love this genre, I really do. But it's gotten to a point where I actively loathe the experience of new MMO's. So much emphasis on providing all the information, making sure every one has access to gear to perform the content they want "when" they want, making sure you know exactly where you need to go in the world to do quests, making sure all of the zones are predictable and easy to access after a certain gated "level" has been achieved, making sure gear is accurate in stats so that content 'can' be beaten with easy to get get gear but just beating the content at a slower rate, but faster if you have higher levelled gear which in most cases means the higher levelled gear has some sort of time gate on it like only being able to turn in so many resources a week before acquiring said item, so that the only factor of you getting the item is how long you wait for it, reducing the challenge to nothing. The list goes on and on.
    We live in a day where if information isn't available at a moments notice and is not easy to access, then people quickly lose interest. And not only do MMO dev's know this, they build their games around it and in most cases they realise that the p2w route is financially better despite it being really bad PR for the game.
    We used to play Guild Wars and would say 'Too Poor Play Guild Wars' whenever we saw someone playing WoW in vent. As a result, I played Turtle WoW recently and had a blast on that since I never got the chance the play the "original" vanilla. "I need to ask someone about this" or "I need help to beat this" were common things I was saying to myself while playing. That feeling of a community driven knowledge base that can be accessed by simply socialising and talking to one another is absolutely lost in new MMO's. Even a game like City of Heroes (Which please do a video on because the publishing rights to the game actually got bought by a private server at the start of the year and they revived the game. Again, that "social" aspect is there for that game. ) can feel like a fresh new experience just because the game is not going to tell you the majority of it's functions later on, it might give you a "tip" box but whether or not you listen to the tips or forget them can drastically affect your play later on. This happened to me and not only did some people fly over to help me, but they gave me a lot of help to get started too.
    Anyway point is that new MMO's may look flashy and cool and interesting, but quickly deform it tedium and mediocrity due to QoL changes dev's feel they need to keep player retention in the modern day. I think for older players like us, the concept of a virtual online world with thousands of players online being the main draw point of a game is now completely gone, since that idea is not new or interesting to people, and forcing newer MMO players to interact and learn from their mistakes and from other people is considered out-dated and not worth the time to invest when their are other games that do it "quicker and easier." As a kid I would use MMO's because I really struggled with making friends and socialising so seeing the genre go down this route is pretty sad to say the least.
    Love your videos so far man, your jokes are bang on "maintain composure in the heat of embarrassment and failing to do so." humour, so binging them on my day off.

      Well put! 100% agree. Have you heard of Shangri-La Frontier? It's a show that depicts "the ideal VRMMO." Part of that depiction is, all deep knowledge about the game world is held by players and players only. It captures the idea of a community knowledgebase so well, and adds insane satisfaction to the feeling of discovering something new... Because it isn't just new to one player, but ALL players.

I was so confused cause i remembered seeing images of an mmo. Now I see why. I had no idea the mmo was turned into DLC. I didnt even look at the DLC cause i figured it was an expansion and im sure many people will think the same. Im sad that zenith turned into this, and understand why people are upset. Turning the MMO into DLC will hide it from most people, killing future players. Add in the fact the base game already has a horrible new player experience, with some very very bad UI choices. I think its safe to say this VRMMO is gone.

    It's funny that you mention a time when people coming together to play and discover mmos while showing WoW footage and now, 20 years later, WoW's season of discovery has managed to do just that again for me. I've so many situations where I'm looking for a way to get to a secret, only to then find someone there doing the same thing, we figure it out together and someone else pops in and we help them out.

    I was so excited for this game to come out and had so much fun when it finally did. I did start getting board rather quick, but enjoyed my time with it. When I started getting the itch to go back, they released the F2P version with the MMO being side content now. I was disappointed that they seemingly gave up one a VRMMORPG that had such promise.

    One of the biggest tragedies in gaming. Actively choosing to operate at a loss instead of listening to their player base and selling simple things like cosmetics. They even had a fortune 500 CEO provide a detailed plan in discord for how to turn the game around, and instead decided to kick their original supporters to the curb and turn it into a caricature of itself.

    Edit: OMG, at least I am not the only one who tries to lean on VR furniture that isnt really there. Early on in my experience with VR, I didnt get why the controllers had straps, I thought they were just an inconvenience. Once I had dropped the controllers twice by trying to sit them on things that weren't there, I started using those hand straps :P

    My problem with almost all vr games is the combat Emerson.
    Take Zenith as an example, the combat with swords and kambits are just slashing through the air with no reward of each hit. Then there is blade and sorcery which has pretty good combat but the ragdolls make it too easy and there is no progression or story like an MMO. Dungeons of Eternity has great combat with its dungeon crawling but it gets very repetitive and the grind for more levels tend to get boring and less rewarding.
    Until the day a "good" immersive vr mmorpg game comes out either I am going to wait or maybe learn to create vr games myself and fulfill my desire of a immersive mmorpg.

    Dudes !! Buy yourselves VR hardware and hop into that game. In my opinion its the most SAO like game we have so far for VR and the game play is really awesome. Infinity Realms is just a very very short teaser of what awaits you in "the real MMO "The last City". I already played hundrets of hours but without new player its getting lonely in the low and mid level areas. I know the hardware is expensive but its worth it ! With 300-500 for a standalone headset you are in. Alone for that game its worth it, but playing Assetto Corsa in VR is a thing by itself as well ;) - Whatever - Zenith is a must for every true MMORPG fan.

    There are at least 2 more VRMMOs waiting in the wings, namely Ilysia and Freeland. Unfortunately in their current states they make Zenith look good. Zenith did a fair number of things right but I get the impression that they have spent the last 4 years racing to get the game "good enough" with a too small team and often misplaced priorities. There's plenty of fun if you go in with your own group, but there are many aspects that are overly grindy.

Some of these games that you’ve talked about and revealed I’ve never played before, but that’s not a surprise cause a lot of them are on PC and I am mostly a console person. Don’t give me wrong. I have nothing against PC. The only thing is I don’t have the software or the hardware to play a PC game which is sad. also on your video vampire the masquerade don’t feel bad. You’re not that old. I mean I’m 38 going on 39.😅 I remember seeing vampire the masquerade articles in I think it was gaming informer magazine one of those old video game magazines always wanted to play that game but of course PC boo.
