Top 10 F2P Games at TTH
#57713 - 05/08/08 03:01 PM |
Translation: The Top 10 Free-to-play games at Ten Ton Hammer. http://tentonhammer.com/node/32476 Some of you guys may have read this already. If you did, you probably noticed that we're not listed. Yeah...I was kinda bummed too. But I hope we will be! So I contacted Ralsu, the one person who compiles this weekly list, and he said he just hasn't had a chance to play Dungeon Runners yet. (Or Exteel, for that matter.) So keep your eyes open.

Remove all the Closed Beta's and let the Live games be on the list! I mean, why list a game wich people can't play? That's just silly.  -------------------- May The Rainbows Drop As Cows From The Sky HDoL.eu - Horrific Domain of Legend - A Dungeon Runners Fansite |

Yeah, I saw this linked in the Mythos forum on mmorpg.com As far as I'm concerned, it's a pretty misleading list of games. It's very subjective and doesn't appear to offer any comparisons between the games a la "balanced scoredcard". When I read it for Week 1, I had the definite impression that he hadn't even played some of the games. Here's a quote (Warrior Epic Quote, Week 1) that gives me that impression: Quote: If he actually played it, they're either solid or they aren't... Other questionable quotes: Quote: If you need more playtime to discuss it, then how could it be rated #2? Quote: Once again, if you haven't spent much time with it, how can you rate it in the 10 ten f2p games? Quote: He 'expects' and is 'waiting to see'? The fact that it includes closed beta games and foreign games that may not have been translated/released for a North America audience is a problem, too. Maybe "10 games worth looking at if they ever go live in our demographic market" would be a good title. Mythos being #1 is kind of funny: 1) It's still in closed beta 2) The devs have just announced a total redesign (again) that nobody has actually tested 3) The last major update had major issues... Don't get me wrong, I think Mythos has tons of potential and will be DR's main competition in it's genre for 2008, but it's too early to tell. It's all hype at this point and things change pretty dramatically in it from build-to-build. As far as that goes, many of those titles are probably solid titles. I personally think, however, that he's way off the mark with Pirates of the Caribbean online. It has way to many niggling things (no installation options - it installs where it wants to only and the fact that a free player has to login and wait in queue just to be able to download a patch - it should patch first, login and play second) to be a serious contender. |

Well, he does encourage folks to post their own top 10 lists on their forums, if anyone is interested But I wouldn't post something like this, since it appears to be *slightly* biased: 1) Dungeon Runners 2) Dungeon Runners 3) Dungeon Runners 4) Dungeon Runners 5) Dungeon Runners 6) Dungeon Runners 7) Dungeon Runners 8) Dungeon Runners 9) Dungeon Runners 10) Dungeon Runners Oh, just a tad. -------------------- "Always keep your words soft and sweet in case you have to eat them" Crickette Dungeon Runners Community Manager My Facebook page Official Dungeon Runners Facebook page IdeaRunners.com - Dungeon Runners' currently unofficial suggestion collaboration website |

Quote: I totally missed they put Pirates of the Caribbean Online in that list. I never thought I'd se that in ANY list. I beta-tested that game from the launch and participated in all stress-tests and everything and it were pure pain. I didn't like the game one bit. I played it 'cause I took on the job, and that were that. But as I said earlier, I think a Top 10 list should only include Live games, and also translated games. Or else it's just a "I think my future Top 10 could be" would be a better topic. -------------------- May The Rainbows Drop As Cows From The Sky HDoL.eu - Horrific Domain of Legend - A Dungeon Runners Fansite |

Re: Pirates - I agree heavily - the beta was so bad I thought it was really alpha and I don't have that much patience. I uninstalled after less than a day of play. Sounds like the list is NOT TTH's Top 10, but just that particular guy's favorites (so far). You would certainly think that someone at TTH would have clued the guy in that DR and TTH had a relationship and he should at least check it out before the "list" was published.  And when half of the 10 ARE closed betas, they really aren't free to play or everyone - are they? -------------------- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. - Arthur C.
