I'm not bothered about it, but I'm beginning to question why not.

I truly don't like first person shooter frag fests - running around in circles blasting, blasting, blasting - gives me a headache.
I'm not that bothered about racing cars around circuits and coming first, coming last, whatever.

So I'm not interested. Should I be? Am I missing out?
Do I have a blinkered view of the whole online gaming thing?

I don't think I'll ever sign up. Maybe a massive online RPG will sway me like Star Wars Galaxies....? - but it probably won't.

Shooting and racing - that's all I see, and that's not enough to get me interested.

Personally, I can't wait for broadband, Xbox Live and Star Wars Galaxies.

MMORPGs sound amazing to me.

I agree with Whitestripes, though he is making a point about MMORPG's the comments stand for any online game. Some people take it seriously and train endlessly. Game's are competitive, but online it gets taken to an extreme. I have my hardly used Live sub, a new PC and about 10 popular online play included games like Raven Shield, and I don't want to. I'd rather explore their single player intricacies.

Hmmm, to be honest, I don't think I'll bother. I'm sure there's fun to be had, but... I don't play games that much anyway.

Why anyone would want to play a MMORPG is beyond me.


Unless you started playing at the beginning and play for 16 hours a day you're going to be the runt of all the players, plus most people will cheat like hell for items and copying them etc.


Rewards time over skill.

No thanks.

I'd sooner trap my scrotum in a sewing machine, than play PC games.

PC online gaming is by far greater.. should try out Enemy Territory which is free off the net instead of RTCW !

Xbox Live's nowhere near as bad as PC online gaming. There are a few gimps who play far too much and spawn kill and other annoying things, luckily though there's no way of cheating or using hacks yet...though it's probably only a matter of time before some spack finds a way.
