tips for a new pc gamer- (me)

It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it. In all seriousness though, Torchlight II > Diablo 3.

I agree 110%, Diablo 3 was awful but Torchlight 2 was fantastic.

Oh and I wouldn't recommend LotR. The graphics are way outdated, and the game just isn't all that good. Plus while it's technically free to play, you can't really do anything unless you buy CONTENT in their item mall. Yep, not just cosmetic crap, you have to buy the content. I'm not even talking expansions, I mean after level 20 you have to buy the Quest Packs for each zone... Awful.

Keep us updated on what games you're playing and when you're playing them. I've been meaning to get back into some of them but I don't know anybody that's currently playing them so whichever one you play I might start up again also.

I've been playing mmos since i was a kid. Right now i say Star Wars KOTR is pretty good. Don't fall victim to WOW though. League of legends is repetitive gameplay and the matches are 30mins-1hr long, so i'd stay far from that. My top mmo's that i play right now is Star Wars KOTR, Final Fantasy XI, and Aion. Keep in mind though, this is only an opinion and shouldn't be taken personally.

.. I resent that. WoW is excellently fun!

WoW is still the most polished. Other MMOs try to copy WoW, but be different from WoW, by taking out features that WoW has patched in over the years, at the request of players. WoW is kind of old at this point, and we all know how much fun it is to pick on the elderly.

Elderly but still great. I just don't like the current expansion. It's way too damn ghey. Ooooh pandas and pokemon! *barf* I'll probably play it again if the next expansion isn't so gheytarded.

I think the main problem is that WoW was mainly built around exploring and developing the storylines introduced in the Warcraft RTS games, the climax of which was the crowning of the Arthas into the Lich King. Even Deathwing at least existed in the game's lore.

I believe the Pandarens were originally created as a joke that got a favorable response. That they based an entire expansion on them is a sign they've run out of story. This expansion feels like a TV series that has finished it's main arc, but is still trying to drag out more episodes to milk ratings, rather than just bow out gracefully.

Maybe it has to do with how well the development of Titan is going?

If they manage one more expansion, it will probably be directed at facing Sargeras. That's the only "big bad" left that I can think of.

You should check out MoP dude, seriously it is really great. If you can get past the cheesy Pandas the lore, history, and look of Pandaria is stunning, the dungeons and raids are amazing looking to, the best art direction they have ever done in my opinion. Cataclysm being the worst art direction. Plus, being Tauren Monk is freakin' sweet. Kung Fu Cow! Also @Ryme The Pandaren was originally an aprils fool joke or something else in Warcraft III, being a Pandaren Monk Brewmaster you could hire as a mercenary. I loved the addition honestly, The pandaren aren't all that bad in my opinion, all be it a bit silly, but what about WoW isn't?

They haven't ran out of story at all, but I can see what you're saying. The problem isn't that they ran out, it's that thye're just trying to milk it all. Also they really wanted to appeal to younger gamers so they did this stupid panda crap which was originally a joke. Maybe being big in China was also a reason they did pandas.

They still have Sargeras, The Maelstrom, and the Emerald Dream to get through. Maelstrom and Emerald Dream will probably be the next one and go to 95, and then Sargeras will go to 100.

Titan got completely reset though, so they're going to try and milk WoW for as long as they can. Earliest date for Titan is now 2016, but probably more like 2017.

I did check it out. I've got a 90 DK, Monk, Shaman, and Warrior. My server became completely worthless though, and when I quit I controlled the entire economy. I couldn't stand how silly the game had gotten. Oh and also I don't like these new Raid Finder things. I get it's to make raids more accessible, which is great. But holy cow it's way too easy.

I'm like, half an elitist. I agree that scrubs should get to see the content, but they shouldn't get phat lewts for free. And if they have to get phat lewts for free, then don't make it look exactly like my amazing gear I worked my *** off for but slightly a different color.

Pandas are the worst thing ever. I only played because I wanted to see what Monk was like, and it's too boring for DPS. It's even more boring than Rogue dps. DK all the way!

i'm voting for the final "battle" before they stop production on WoW to be a server quest similar to the AQ gates.... to restore Medivh to full power so he can finally kill sargeras.

also, that they stop ret-conning the lore because they're too lazy to look up and remember the maelstrom was the entrance to Sargeras' tomb.

however, i still won't be playing it as they still get bent out of shape when you say "i want dungeons, not dailies". then they push out more dailies and say "well since you guys are all farming dailies anyway, clearly you love them, have more!"...
