Rift version .9
Looks similar, plays a bit like DDO (active but not really but hey look, dodge!), the PQs don’t move but also don’t look as blatant as WAR PQs. They scale but not really (the elite mob at the ‘end’ still destroys you solo and all that).
3/10
Hardcore Casual 
What?
So, it’s not going to be super-innovative, awesome and God’s seed implanted into an MMO?
Not. At all. Surprised.
Oh my God, you’re right! That’s totally what GW2 fans have claimed! I’m now a disillusioned ex-cultist.
Yeah, I know you’re going for a drive-by view here, but I’m going to need a bit more than that, since IMV people looking forward to GW2 are looking for some different things than traditional MMOs, and what you’ve listed above doesn’t cover them.
Pretty much what I expected. Oh wait, this is a joke isn’t it?
Ugh, so now instead of Darkfall you’re going to start pumping RIFT? Way to bite into the honeymoon phase when .00001 percent of the population is even into experts.
Hardcore Casual’s Next Post Review (Syncaine style)
Found the trolling half-arsed. Expected more from a team with so much experience in the genre.
One thumb sideways.
GW2 probably still has a year to see how Rift pans out and adjust accordingly. They just need to be flexible.
Still, I think some thunder has been stolen whatever way you like to spin it. It’s going to be a lot harder to look groundbreaking when every other MMO has been frantically retrofitting your new shiny concepts for months before you even hit open beta.
Try searching ‘rift review’ on google, hardcore casual is what you will find.
This is probably another attempt to get more views.
‘Cause Syncaine has loads of ads, amirite?
Does he? I wasn’t aware there are people without AdBlock.
That, or I pay extra not to have ads. (Edit: Not to mention how great it is to moderate 10-15 spam comments that sneak through because of the increased traffic)
But yea, totally just trolling for traffic. Make sure to tell me that when GW2 comes out and you play it.
Ads are not the only reason you’d want more views (and he does an ad anyway). The post is pointless, so he is doing it for other reasons. Nothing wrong with that, I’m just pointing out the obvious.
If I had a blog I would spam useless posts as well, if only to annoy others. And no, I’m not being sarcastic, I would seriously do that or something like it.
You should start a blog and give that a shot, see how it goes.
