It's like a jigsaw puzzle that doesn't quite fit together right.

-Game Over-

I can relate to this thread all too well. Seems like the last 5-6games i have bought, i have less than 10hours logged on them. I recently went back to playing Red Alert 2, one of my favorite rts's of all time. I'm really have been getting into simulators, whether it's military(ArmA),navy(Silent Hunter 3), or racing(Race 07). I can play any of those for hours and hours straight. I really never touched the surface of many RPG's other than LOTRO and i'd have to say that gave me a bad introduction to them. It does seem like the games you don't bother looking into or get little to no hype at all, seem to be the good ones. Far Cry 2 was suppost to be one of the big ones, but i think that's a total bombshell. Yeah, the graphics are amazing, but that's not what makes a game. Greed must have the collar of all the game designers these days.

Hi -Hemi- I agree with you in regards to new games not being as good as those games last 3-4 years. Although I think the game time you spent in playing these new games aren't that long to really determine whether they are good or not, although they probably do suck.hehe.

I am also faced with the same situation every month that I think back to those good games I played years ago and then wanting to reinstall and play it all over again. I think the problem is that new games are either basing their new games to those classic or deferring to it as much as possible, but in the process creating a lousy weird game like spore. lolz.

This thread is getting dangerously back on topic.

Why do all new games suck?
A question like that can only be answered with, you take zero punctuation too seriously, but that's not your story.

You're primarily dissatisfied with the MMORPG genre, that you've made clear in your post, and the games you do praise are first person shooters. Just based on that, tether the games you play to what you do like. Shift your focus to look for more first person shooters that please your liking instead of chasing the next MMO that will captivate you. You're on a fruitless search, you will never be wholly satisfied with the MMO you find, if you feel the need to play one, let them come to you.

Meanwhile, if MMO's got you down, and FPS's aren't cutting it anymore, it's time to try new games or genres. Demos are you friend. Pick up some demos of Real Time Strategy games, try things like Company of Heroes and World In Conflict, these RTSs are based more on tactics and focus less on resource management as opposed to Age of Empires, Command and Conquer, and Warcraft/Starcraft. Strategy games that require you to task miners to mine gold, villagers to chop wood, collect food, ore, vespine gas; add an unnecessary layer to a game where the real objective is combating your opponent. Company of Heroes and World in Conflict both have demos available and there will be a new stand alone expansion pack to Company of Heroes in March 2009. You will not be required to own the previous games to play online with owners of the previous expansions.

I play my usually assortment of FPS and RTS online with friends and when I'm alone I like to play console games. Single player games that take you out of the online grind are relaxing and can be very enjoyable.

If your looking for a new MMORPG, I suggest you to play Atlantica Online. Its F2P and is unique in many ways. For one thing the game introduces this new turn-based battle system that is unlike your typical MMOs that is hack-and-slash based which I find too repetitive and dry. Try looking this game up. Ciao!
