    I was suprised when they actually reviewed this game from they way they talked they actually enjoyed it which is rare for any mmorpgs with them though the review was written up before it went ftp.

    http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/reviews/16...do_Espada.html there you go these guys are usally very hard on mmorpgs so to see a 4/5 (the same they gave wow) was shocking.

    G4TV is lame .. they give crazy scores and their reporters haven't much game experience.

    That review was such BS. They give good games low scores, and they give sotnw a 4? <.<

    Only reason I watch that show is the skits.

    GameSpot gave the game a 4.0 while IGN gave it a 6.5.

    Who should I trust? :0

    Seriously, just try it. I did, and I think it's outright boring, along with the usual selection of "why do game makers never care about the details".

    The "Multi character control" pretty much kills the game. You basically have three characters, all of which can automatically perform some basic attack, or (in case of the scout) they can heal another character automatically. They won't use skills, and won't pickup loot, but I ended up in one of three "modes":
    • 2 offensive chars on automatic. Scout (Healer) on manual control, running around picking up loot from my other two and the other people in the area (the game is overcrowded). Occasionally stopping to let the scout do an auto-heal.
    • All 3 on automatic and the game alt-tabbed in the background
    • All 3 running across the world map or through a dungeon. Very tedious --- the maps are huge and there are no waypoints or anything. Main reason why I often didn't even start playing --- didn't want to spent half an hour running to the current levelling place.


    I didn't spend a single skillpoint, since automatic mode doesn't use skills, skills use mana, and there was no reason to use skills... and besides, if I had used a skill I would have been out of mana, using lots of base attacks until it has regenerated... so instead of spending a fortune on pots I just stayed with the base attack and on automatic...

    Either way, I'm again on a quest to find a decent game :-)

    Come to think of it, Sword of the new World is currently the game with the most deserted chat (of all the games I know). Might very well be because everyone has his own party, and people "play" while AFK...

    Yeah, that's basically my problem with them. =\ I think they said Bellato were like elves, but look at the Cora. xD It's not that I hate them for their reviews, it's just that it's an old show imo and I'm tired of it nowadays. =o
