Are random panty shots just required for any images from asianesque games?

It may come as a shock, but I've never known a woman's touch..."

It was no shock at all. 

The trailer/video has taught me a very important lesson.  My tastes are very different from those of the current gaming generation.  This just didn't appeal to me in any way, shape, or form.

Or maybe your tastes aren't broad enough! Man, I've been saying that a lot lately. ^_^

I think you may be jumping to conclusions if you think that the current gaming generation would play this game, at least in this country.

Anyway, what I was getting at, is while I enjoy playing games where the art style appeals to me. It doesn't keep me from playing anything. Basically, Fun still more important. Who knows if this will be fun. I just wanted to link to those disproportionate women getting faceslammed by an ogre. Lots of times. And then an effeminate dude getting wrecked by one of those freaky women.

it tells me stunningly little about the game.

Well, yes, that's Hyung-Tae Kim for you. You should see his previous works, they're even more disproportionate. Just horribly so.

So. How's that going? What you ask? Not being in touch with gamers, like, at all. Magna Carta - same artist - was, until Persona 3, the best selling Atlus game. What is Magna Carta?

Q: What can you tell us about the design inspiration for the females in-game?

A: "Hyung-Tae Kim is amazing. It may come as a shock, but I've never known a woman's touch, but his drawings come to life in a way I've never seen. It's as if your face is just buried in tits. Left, right, up, down, tits. It's a constant motorboat of awesome. God, I love that man more than anything else on this earth."

Yea, finally an MMORPG with an arcade fighting game-style combat look to it.

Oh and that's hardly gameplay video with the UI permanently off, the camera permanently spinning around and the whole thing being nothing but mix of cutscenes and fight sequences (edited for extra pace feel). With this approach one could make even LotRO look trailer all shiny.

The point of a gameplay video isn't to accurately reflect what the screen looks like while you play... it's to show you how, ideally, you should feel while playing. When you're in the groove you forget the UI, ignore the stupid mechanics, and feel like the badass your character can be.

Remember guys, being designed for the PS3. I imagine core gameplay will be at least SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT than standard fare. SLIGHTLY.

Heck, with this approach they could've made that trailed just full of tits and panning panty shots. That'd put lot of people in the groove too, and would tell as much about the actual game.

It's up to NCSoft to not be morons and alleviate the grind for America.

Didn't really see anything different from current MMOs there. So a character performs half a dozen of kicks when i use the skill instead of half dozen sword swings... same old shit with floating damage numbers.

While the game looks fantastic, I wonder how much "cheating" they are doing with the art. A lot of the area's seem extremely flat, and the buildings seem to be 'fake', like how GuildWars does them (might as well be boulders for all the interacting you can do with them).

It's the style that's different -- e.g. the models react when hit, there's a push back effect, the animations have that "sharp and fast" feel to them. It's like watching somebody play Soul Caliber but with more freeform movement.

If you check it closely, there seems to be little of actual reaction to hits beyond few canned abilities that involve knock-back and apply animations to both characters. Regular hits don't invoke more from the target but girlish scream and a few particle effects. It is certainly nice, but nothing that wasn't already done in more elaborate fashion in say, Matrix Online. And yes, things are snappy and sharp looking but that's heavily edited trailer with cuts and camera work adding lot to the pace -- there isn't single shot of gameplay there that lasts more than couple of seconds, and pretty much each has a 'special' event in the focus (be it the mob death or character skill used) Suspect it makes things appear much more exciting than they actually are.

For example, this is what similar "sharp and fast" style atually looks like in the MMO, once you strip it out of some of the trailer magic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY75uSyATyg
and then when you actually play it, it turn into this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vulcrzDmB8

Having played MxO for "too long", all of its notable animations were related to interlock (meaning: you're stuck in a death dance with another person while everyone else lobs spells and/or bullets at you).  The non-interlock ones were no more notable than the GE video you linked or some of the newer abilities in Wrath of the Lich King.

PXIB PREDICTS:

In the beginning you will choose male or female who have the choice of three hairstyles and three hair colors apiece. All characters have a basic set of attacks, some sword based and some unarmed. I imagine you get these over the first several levels, perhaps the first week or so of gameplay. At that point you will choose a class and have the opportunity to start into one of the four or five specialties displayed in the video.

Each of these have a few impressive moves that fit into categories.
- Hit somebody multiple times, knocking them back.
- Throw them.
- Abuse them while they're on the ground.
- Big windup attack.
- Fast attack.

You will learn these in some ridiculously slow and tedious way... not picking up the really cool looking moves until you've been in grinding groups for upwards of three months.  It will also involve obscure, poorly clued quests in a vast but largely empty world. Much time will be spent running through crowds of monsters you don't want to fight. in 90% of all situations there will be two ideal moves you use over and over again, only using the other ones when you're bored and want to look cool... but they'll occasionally get you killed.

This will make you lose as much experience as you'd gained in tedious fighting for the past three hours.

I seriously doubt they've gotten any better since Lineage II, tbh  :uhrr:

It's up to NCSoft to not be morons and alleviate the grind for America. I'm seriously hoping Sony has some help with that. I imagine they'd kill it right quick.

Wait... what?  :ye_gods:  :awesome_for_real:

Tell me that you're joking. You just forgot the green. I mean, that has got to be a mistranslation. No way a game developer could say such a thing.

Although, it might explain a thing or two...

Your assuming the UI is like other MMO's. Have you played games like uncharted?

Q15: Is there an ending to to the storyline?
Bae: Yes.

Q16: Is the trailer video made out of in-game footage?
Bae: Yes. The only editing done to the video is the slow-motion effect during mid-air-dash and the removal of version stamp. Of course, for demonstration purposes, some characters were standing still not fighting back. Besides those, the video is a 100% compilation of in-game footages.
Kim: Currently, developers are playing pre-alpha version of the game. The trailer you saw today was a footage of their actual in-game play.

Q18: I am curious whether the world is seamless or instanced.
Bae: It is not seamless, but it uses streaming method. Gamers will experience the same gameplay as if they were in a seamless world.
Kim: There won’t be much loading because the maps are huge.

Q27: Do characters’ body parts take different damage?
Bae: No. However, the attack angle matters.  The damage will depend on from which position you are attacking the opponent.

Q34: What type of quests are in Blade & Soul?
Bae: Goals and scenario make up the quests. Many MMORPGs have “vending-machine” quests: “kill X number of mobs.” This is boring. Blade & Soul will resolve the problem of “I want to follow the story line, but why am I talking to this vending machine.” I want the game to overcome that limitation. It’s one of the topics of discussion within the team.

Q47: When will be the release?
Bae: (smile) I really don’t know. I hope we don’t this year [closed beta]. We developed for about two years and 50% is complete. I don’t know what the developers think.
Kim: I think only 20% is done. (smile) end of the interview

Q46: There is a rumor that Blade & Soul is NCsoft’s PS3 MMO?
Bae: There’s nothing specific about the plan.  We only have 60 developers which is just enough to make the PC version.  I would like to [make a PS3 version], but some things can’t be done.  We are discussing with other platform companies as well.

My god, it's full of stars (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtA1jSreK84).

Like, seriously. CLICK THAT LINK. CLICK IT. CLICK IT NOW.

Will it be good? Who knows. BUT HOLY CRAP.

Edit: Screenshots, in-game (http://thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=181507&category=103&subcategory=).

Jesus Christ on an unlubricated stick, that looks like a hi-fidelity WoW, if you take out the player characters. Especially that red orc.

You're allowed to say thing like that because you play Eve. Just another Excel clone IMO.

Edit: For future reference though, just so you fit in, WoW was just another in the line of dikus. If anything, call it an EQ-Clone. But calling it a WoW clone would lead you to calling other things WoW clones. And we don't need to see that goddamn penny arcade comic again, even if it is their funniest one.

Yeah it has like, trees and hills and a road and some grand canyon rendition. And a desert. Total WoW rip-off.

Why would they release Aion in the states in Q4 '09 and then B&S right after?
For that matter, why does it take a year for the U.S. release of Aion?

Don't really like the oddly proportioned female models, though. Granado Espada had similar "busty" female models but the GE ones look a lot better.

Looking at Aion release schedule right above, the "launch" most likely refers just to Korean market. The delay with Aion release in US/Europe is due to time they intend to spend on localization and such, if i remember right. There's supposedly lot of writing that need to be converted, and they don't want another Lineage 2.

Hopefully there's a breast slider.

If there actually is one it'll likely just go from "extra large" to "extra gravitational field"...

Yeah, their boobs are way too big and torpedo-y for their frames. This looks to be one of those kmmos with nice character models but with only threes armor sets. Hopefully there's a breast slider.

There's a new video! It has classes and stuff. 11 minutes long.

"Huge asses online"

Lolz the pedo factor in an mmo hasn't been this high ever.

Those asses weren't huge. By my standards they were just above "flat as board" but still below average.

They are not real, and drastically out of proportion. Have you also "Never felt the touch of a woman"?

Heh.

Draegon really armored bra?

(http://www.rerollz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Screenshot.jpg)

Here make an avatar.

It's not the asses, it's the thighs and hips.

By my standards? Those where pixelalted just above really skinny. Size zero waste ain't special just looks really weird in comparison to thighs.

It certainly isn't lacking for legs or tits. :grin:

Or high heels. High heels, while fighting martially. Logical. :why_so_serious:

I wanted to find Bob's post about panties in the Aion thread and quote it here but I'm too lazy.  I may sign up for my first mmo beta in a long long while on this one.  I love the Magna Carta stuff, this eye candy is fun.

How is the panty based content? I'm burnt out on WoW again and thought it would be nice to play a game with really great graphics coupled with hot women in lingerie. Is it like other Korean games where everyone looks pretty much the same, or are you able to wear a variety of panties and tiny boob slings depending on your mood?

As far as game play I don't really care outside of it affecting my ability to buy/acquire/unlock new and different underwear.

That face has no emotion whatsoever.  No joy or anger.

The artist who designed the female characters typically places them in outlandish platforms. It's his style.

I hope the baby oil the toons in the first pic used is a common drop. When I want my toon to have smooth, glistening tits

At the rate that NCSoft is improving their DAT ASS technology, I expect to see an adults only expansion to one of their games that makes everyone naked and lets you cyber with NPC like an Illusion game or something. It will break all MMO records.
Graphics like this plus NOT SAFE FOR WORK (http://www.3d-sexgames.com)'s interface/whatever plus this way overengineered NOT SAFE FOR WORK (http://www.realtouch.com/dispatcher/home) would add whole entire new levels to guild drama, as well as creating a lot more shut-ins..The internal automatic lube dispenser is a nice touch I thought. I wonder if it's heated in the resevoir or not.

It has 'Extreme Jumping and Leaping Mechanic'!  :why_so_serious:

If an MMO is gonna suck, might as well be able to jerk off to it.

"The longer Aion does well, the longer we can carry on perfecting our title. I'm happy and worried at the same time!"

HTK: In other words, it's the natural identification of what we really like since birth, before cultural context. I try to exaggerate all those aspects and then tie it to some of the more complex or deeper emotions, and then just draw something that people will really like innately.

To put it simply, you have to first look at how the body is actually connected. Of course, the chest and hips sort of stand out a lot because they're, you know, the biggest parts I guess. But the most important part of the character is actually fat. Any character we create is composed of bones, muscles, and of course fat.

Despite the beauty of bones and muscles, those aspects tend to not be particularly feminine, and lend themselves to something more male. But if you focus more on the fat of a character, and then you sort of create a flow into the chest and the hips and form the body around it, how force and physics can change a body, including fat, it becomes more beautiful for people who can appreciate that innate nature. In books that explain the body, there aren't that many explanations of fat, so it's really hard to find this kind of information actually.

Of course I can't speak for others, but in my case, I'm not really comfortable with a stable kind of picture, with something balanced, because what is average is so well-represented in reality. You see it anywhere you go. I want to express through my artwork something that's not possible in reality, something that cannot exist.

Also the UI is 100% Korean.

It's level 1-4 gameplay though, and the player has like, 3 abilities total. Wonder what it gets like as you level up.

The Blade & Soul Team

OK, Im here. I like this but I also like Tera. While b&s is , Well it isn't tab targeting the game figures out what your trying to target. and you'll hit it if your pointing in more or less the right direction (ranged). It isn't Tera but its Tera like. I'm at lvl 11-12 with all classes except summonier and blade dancer. (I dont do lollies, thats just how I roll). This really is collect the outfits and there really is a fetish theme. I'm guessing Black Desert is gonna be a better game as b&s is highly instanced and BD is not  But I can play this now and I prefir it to Tera. And its pay to win, check out the dimonds and safires in the cash shop. A large increse in attack power and a nice heal on crit (and these are cheep). So well see how it pans out at the first of the year as B&s and BD are gonna f2p launch then. Just my opinion after playing sence thursday.

I am curious about what he means when he says that he graduated with highest honors.

Guys iI have been on this site for a decade or more, ya Im 63 years old but I still plays mmorpgs. I mostly lurk seldom post, I was a little active when we had an active eve group. But generly use this site to gage weather a new game is worth checking out or not. Few peaple are posting about this game and I thought it was worth adding my opions. And thats all they are , my opions.. Be safe guys and prosper.

I believe it is: "who's full of shit"

Is it "nest", "pit" or "den" of grammar snakes?

Yes.

Welp, 7 and a half years after Schild started this thread, game launches today.
We were all so young...

Oh, I totally don't care about this game anymore. I'm on the Lost Ark train now.

I downloaded it, made a character and got placed into a 1008 person que, I quit.

You need to be grinding in D3 or BF4 anyway  :awesome_for_real:

Yes, this seems to be what happens now with popular new MMORPGs that have a free2play vs Premium sub model at launch. Same happened with Archeage last year. So basically, it's 1000+ queue as a f2p player, or insta-join if you are paying the monthly fee.

they are all pretty packed from what I've heard.

(http://i64.tinypic.com/2lw8v15.jpg)

Yup :why_so_serious:

(I suspect the queue is capped at 5k, seeing how it doesn't grow past that point)

The combat in this is by far the best I've experienced in an MMO, even better than TERA where I was able to get several classes to level cap. 

I hit level cap (45) on a Destroyer the other day. This game hooked me in a way Tera never did, so there's that I guess. The rate at which they push out the rest of the content to level 50 will be key, but I am enjoying the costume hunt and the structured arena PvP so far.

Structured PvP is only 1v1. Think of this as a Tekken lite MMORPG.

I gotta say you never here gold spam in tera. Not once, not ever.

Yes, after getting through the extended tutorial and hitting level 20 on my Kung-Fu Master I had enough money at that point buy 1 dumpling, which is the cheapest NPC vendor food item in the game.

Gave me EverQuest flashbacks :awesome_for_real:
