Age of Conan is the best MMORPG I've ever played! I get to relive the Hyborian age by having all the epic adventures of Conan and Red Sonya, with realistic fantasy combat like an action game, but online with a band of players who travel the land in search of loot and women, and although the rape sequences are censored, I'm hoping there will be a patch in the near future. Also, slaying the serpent emperor is epic in itself, I have never felt this good playing a game before, single player or otherwise. Remember in the movie where he grabs the snake head and rips it clean off? Yeah, it's better than that.
Every boss has a beautifully scripted action sequence, you think FFXI had some good cutscenes, goddamn this had some that made me cry. But you know what, the dynamic plot is great and all, hell I love eradicating an entire town of serpentmen just so the next group has nothing to do there but set up a few trading bazaars or set up a bandit camp, but honestly, the fun comes in just wandering. Wandering the desert and encountering completely random, batshit crazy enemies that are challenging, yeah, but they don't just kill you in one hit for being the wrong level. No, these things fight like they mean it, like you were watching 300 and controlling the goddamn action. You remember when one of the Spartans jumps and thrusts his spear in the guy's chest? That's got nothing on the combat system in this game.
They were right about the first twenty levels feeling like a single player game on its own. I would pay money just to play the single player portion on PS3. You know that Conan game they released on consoles? It's like an upgraded version, since they can refine the combat at any time with patches. So you're playing this game and then before you know it, fuck you're interacting with people all over the world who want to kick just as much ass as you do, like in the second movie where he picks up a random RPG party and starts kicking ass, and somehow they managed to get PVP right. I mean it's fun, actually fun, and you don't feel griefed just because someone comes out of hiding and attacks you. I don't know how they managed to balanced it, but it feels more like a fighting game with equal stats than a system that relies on level and stat differences.
Anyway, the name of the game speaks for itself- Age of Conan. What could be more badass?
