Ophélie Castelot: "New World took the gaming world by storm last week, causing huge queue times upon its launch. But is it really that good? When it comes to MMORPGs, World of Warcraft has been everyone’s point of reference for over 17 years now, closely followed by Final Fantasy XIV. Can New World compete with World of Warcraft, and which could be considered the best MMORPG to play this year?"
New World, the PvP-focused MMO from Amazon Games, is being review bombed on Steam over a recently-announced major relaunch.
If they were gonna get into game development. They should've started with single player games imo
An ad for New World, has surfaced on the PlayStation Network, and this falls in line with the studio teasing an announcement at SGF.
I liked MMO’s on PC back in the day but I do prefer console these days. I may check this out
Better controls (I hate keyboard heavy games) and no need for chat communication. So, mostly a preference of how I want to enjoy my online games. I don't want to be typing or clicking buttons. Just holding a controller, chatting when I want (but hearing others when needed in raids even if I'm not). It also tends to be a much better UI. Lot less clutter without the unnecessary hot bars and chat UI and whatnot. Most PC-focused MMOs have a lot of button pressing for abilities that doesn't make it more fun, just more tedious I find.
New World breathes new life into the game on its second anniversary. On October 3rd, 2023, New World will launch its first expansion, Rise of the Angry Earth.
They are night and day different IMO. I played wow for years but I am really enjoying FF14. I tried to play New World but I a not a survival-craft fan. The game is basically Survival Craft the MMO. Really though the biggest turn off was how it handles classes and combat. That said I can see why its so popular and will last. So I hope it makes it.
Judging by the blurb they ALMOST got it right.
It's FFXIV.
