  • I didn't play Aion, what did you like about it that sets it apart from others?

    • So for the most part its just another wow clone from the deluge of wow clones that came out around the time. But the thing with wow is I found it rather dull, like thematically i didn't like the style or cartoony look at the time and the world felt empty and static. Now aion didn't exactly have a dynamic world but it felt more natural than open plains of mobs walking in circles. I like the art style, it actually ran somewhat nicer for the visuals given being an mmo made in the original cryengine, the abilities and combat much more flashy. It also had flying which was quite novel and pets and big anime swords, some beautifully made areas to boot.

      But I can't really explain why i liked it so much. I just simply enjoyed playing it more than other games of the same type even when mechanically they didn't differ that much. The feedback of the game just felt more satisfying and I felt more grounded in the world and rewarded by exploring the content.

      • Ok cool, so WoW but with an aesthetic that vibed with you more? That's fine. If someone likes WoW I see no reason to dismiss someone liking a clone more simply because it's the same thing with a vibe they liked better.
