Ok, this is something that just bugs the crap out of me. Got a new first person shooter? It must be based of halo. Playing a MMORPG, it is obviously a cheap verson of wow. WHAT?!?
1.If anything, halo is based of doom. No not your high def fancy graphics scare game, but the origonal. Seriously, halo is based off of other games, and very uncreative. Just because it is first person, and you shoot things, it doesn't make it a halo nock-off.
2. MMORPGs are not based of wow. I was playing Mabinogi a while ago while my sister was having a friend get together, and a few were commenting how it looked like a low budget wow game. Hello there? Mabinogi was out years before wow was even started being made. Heck, I checked the system requirements, and a WINDOWS 98 with good hardware could run it nativly.

It just makes me want to yell at people who say this kind of stuff. Just because game got popular, it doesn't make all other games of that type instantly based off of it.

No, if any first person shooter halo is based on, it is more possible for it to be Marathon.

Any WoW is more based on everquest, as that was out first, I would cry if someone said Everquest was rip off of Wow.

World of warcraft and the halo series, are both good game(s), but not the greatest games of all time that all games are loving based on.

Feck em all, Halo is a blatant rip off of Midi Maze, WOW is a cheap copy of Rouge, Rouge and Midi Maze are copies of Pong and "some kids pretending to be wild west cowboys", and Metal of Duty: Honor Call is obviously stealing ideas from Chess.

Remember kids,(who are actually older than I am) back in the day the word FPS didn't exist and we called 'em all "DooM Clones". Before that we had them "Rouge-Likes". Remember yer dam' heritage!

In my opinion, Mabinogi is WAY different than WoW...
WoW gets boring, and is like every other generic MMO, all you do is click on the thing and mash the F keys for skills.
Mabinogi, you gotta use the skills properly, and even wait sometimes. Not to mention the way the battle system works is a lot different, and Mabinogi has more than just Min Max and Speed like WoW, it has balance, critical, proficiency, etc.
However, most FPS are the same.

I agree with you WoW isn't the best game out there, there are better games such as Age Of Conan and Everquest

halo i HATE.
first person shooters should use a mouse and keyboard or they fail.
i get dizzy watching people run in circles around each other on their 3rd clip.

joysticks = fail

It's funny how you are the only one to think this.
Do you think everything is a WoW/Halo ripoff or something?

Vertzer · June 04, 2008, 04:38:10 PM

No one thinks that every mmorpg/fps is a Wow/Halo ripoff. That's why I'm laughing at this topic and at Laremere. If the person is truly stupid enough to think that you should beat the stuff out of them with a keyboard and spit on their shoes.

Chrono · June 04, 2008, 04:39:37 PM

The sad part is, I know people who think stuff like that.
Except they say Counter Strike and that game I never bothered to look at called something that starts with an A's Call or something...

General Nick · June 04, 2008, 05:02:17 PM

Everything isn't basing off of Halo, but a lot more free MMOs have popped up ever since WoW.

I just hate how people try to make a bunch of builds that are REALLY BADLY based off of Halo and WoW, attempting to recreate a huge world into a small game.

Vertzer · June 04, 2008, 05:02:33 PM

Well, counter strike IS the most played online fps game.

laremere · June 04, 2008, 06:29:38 PM

Vertser, this topic is complaining about people who think all games are based off halo/wow. Your the only one here that didn't take the time to actually read my post.

I've been wanting to make a new one for myself for a long time. I got tired of link riped off a zelda fan site. I had a bunch of free time in typing, and my computer likes to be the only one that blocks internet in the class, so I opened mspaint and made this.
