People haven't been saying otherwise. It is an MMO, but it is more of a third-person shooter than an RPG, even though it has certain RPG elements.

MMO != MMORPG.

You make a thread and start off by calling people idiots AND the trolls? Look into the mirror.


And yes, this isnt an mmo...whats trolling about that? Its the same with Planetside 2...it wasnt an mmo. This is just an online multiplayer. Theres no crafting, no gear progression, NO SOCIAL CHAT MOST IMPORTANT MMORPG THING...and many many other things.

So no Defiance is far from an mmo and youre a fool if you thought the devs told you that.

The devs said themselves that its a shooter first and mmo second.

Whut?

Taken from PS2 website:
PlanetSide 2 is a Massively Multiplayer first person shooter

There is your MMO. MMO is the structure of the game, not the game itself.

And your other 'argument', thats like saying its stupid an RTS doesnt have racing-steer support.

That has nothing to do with RPGs.
RPG is a role playing game, you create, customize, level and play your character (role) in the massive open world with many other players (here is where MMO comes in) these are the RPG elements. The gameplay is that of a TPS (third person shooter) and things like the randomized loot are just game mechanics. You know those RPers that every MMORPG has? They're the role players where they immerse themselves and take part in the world whilst playing their character (role).

Am I the only one who is annoyed by the fact that people can't tell the difference between MMO and MMORPG?

This is an MMOTPSRPG..

Or.. Massively Multiplayer Online Third Person Shooter Role Playing Game.....


You play the role of one of humanitys last survivors.. Defiantly shooting at the teraformed mutated species.. In third person.. You pobabely even talk about yourself in third person.. When talking to some of the thousands of other roleplayers in this massivly game.

Problem is, most of you have missunderstood the word roleplaying..

You didnt really understand anything did you?

My point was, that just because they call it an mmorpg themselves, doesnt make it one. Ever heard of an analogy?

SBlaze pretty much summed up what this game lacks which are in fact, quite a few things to actually...be anything.

Beside it not being an mmo, its not even a decent shooter. Its trying to be everything at once and it fails at everything in its current state.

Dont worry, youll remember me in a few weeks.
