I'm curious as well about how it will perform on consoles.
Oh and I'm not sure if I'll give it a shot tbh, but at least the reviews on Steam are somewhat entertaining.

I played it a decent bit (before the DLC) and I tho it was quite alright, it is grindy for sure but not eveyrone dislikes a solid grindI'm curious as well about how it will perform on consoles.

Be interesting to see how well it runs on consoles because I know it doesn't run too hot on my PC, especially in towns. Would be fun to play on the couch IMO. I enjoyed my time with it.

Yeah, I don't mind grind-y live service games (I have tons of hours in PvE focused games like Destiny 2 and Diablo 4), but I just can't commit myself to endless hours of grind in a new MMO, at least not at the minute.
And tbh, I'm more excited for another MMO coming from Amazon Games, since it's rumored to release sometime this year.

Blue Protocol looks amazing. Not sure on this, does it have a monthly sub?

Nope, it's a F2P MMORPG.

Yeah, I’ll try it. Doesn’t money invested equal quality?? Anyway, I would love an action combat mmo that isn’t as confusing as Black Desert.

Eh, it's a more saturated market than Hero Shooters.

WoW peaks will hardly ever be matched ever again, with so many trying to follow them, but there seems to be a constant flow of new titles that try nevertheless, with huge worlds and colossal play hours and at least some reaching enough success to not discourage everyone.
Amazon and its money becoming some third party is certainly interesting. Even though MMO stuff is not my thing, not at all. Same with Google and Meta. They all should have cooperated with some existing platform(s) instead of trying to just jump straight to trying to compete with them.

Its also more interesting than hero shooters.

This game? Not really.

I dont know I didn't play it yet but most in general are for sure more interesting than hero shooters.

These seem really old.

Not a big issue with the genre but yes, mostly old games. The next big thing for XIV is coming in a month and the other games also get big updates/content quite often

isn't Valorant one of the most popular game right now? I don't know man, its not my jam but I wouldn't dismiss it

COD also has hero like gameplay with operators, Rainbow Six goes for a similar approach, overwatch, paladins bf 2024 used it at release so yea All are quite successful but I don't think it's an interesting concept.

It was torching 3080s at launch:

So does New World gameplay.

Depends on your preferences. People here tend to hate on Gaas in general for no reason other than disliking online multiplayer.
At one point, OW shat on that entire list outside of FFXIV, imo.
(Still does, btw. But OW is dying, so meh)
Anyway, I think people will be better off playing FFXIV Dawntrail.
New World looks like a typical mediocre PC MMO.

The hate argument against gaas don't matter here since all mmos are gaas too.
Cod is also super successful but that doesn't mean cod is interesting on any level.

Fair enough, mmo are Gaas as well.
Maybe PvP shooters (hero shooters in particular) would be more fitting.
This is kind of what I mean.

I think there’s plenty of room for this on console. Very interested in more games like this hitting console.

Don't get me wrong, I fully agree. I don't really believe in saturation, just in good and bad games.
It's just a bit hypocritical to see this not getting backlash while in a much more saturated market on consoles than something like a hero shooter.

Way less Grindy after the DLC. Mount System also made exploration leagues better .
However... I would not recommend New World to anyone. There are balancing issues, performance issues (could be better for consoles, but that is rarely the case for mmos), for some reason is almost impossible to find healers and tanks, and once you finish your build, there really isn't a whole lot to work on. The small community is also an issue, but hopefully consoles will alliviate that (My experiences are mainly on SA server - Artorius, might be better on other regions)
It recently got official controller support on PC, is wayyyy better than M&K imo

Maybe its because MMOs tend to be a lot more varied than Hero Shooters.
Take the most recent two: Marvel Rivals and Concord.
They are very simillar to Overwatch, (Specially Marvel Rivals, which honestly looks like a OW mod.).
Take New World and compare to the likes of FFXIV, Blue Protocol, World of Warcraft, they all are extremelly different, both in artstyle, gameplay, gamemodes, etc...
Killjoy-NL

That's debateable though.
Apart from art style, MMOs all look pretty much the same.
It's not until you really play the games that you start noticing the differences.
But that goes for hero shooters as well, or any other type of game.
Games like Diablo and Path of Exile also look pretty much the same, apart from art style.

I think most people see shooters instead of hero shooters / non-hero shooters. I also think there is more to the backlash for a certain game than just being a hero shooter.

Concord is just an example though.

A lot of misdirected hate in this thread when the game first launched, it was lacking content, storyline, and a few other things since then they have vastly improved the game to where there is a good storyline and a lot more content. Now that’s not to say that it has the same level of content as wow or final fantasy which I’ve been out for 14 years But they are steadily improving the game with every patch and update/expansion. It really reminds me of a modern day 3d runescape type of game.
I’m not sure if there will cost something at first, but I know there is no monthly fees and it’s not paid to win if you’re looking for a good PVE experience I’d say this is a good choice
