![]() League of Legends, the preferred MOBA of dogs. Maybe even my cold, dead gaming heart can be given a little life.įirst, let’s take a quick look at two examples of the problem: MOBAs and the “revival” MMO. 2015 was definitely a year of M’eh’MOs, but 2016 is showing some genuine promise. It’s led me to create a new phrase: M’eh’MOs ( meh-m-o’s, or m- eh-mo’s, depending on how you prefer to pronounce it). 2015’s MMO releases all felt like more of the same, worth little more than a look and a shrug. The culprit is mediocrity, a lack of innovation and creativity. What’s been smothering my passion for online gaming isn’t a matter of story, graphics, business model, or even design quality. Gaming tastes are diverse, and what I find appealing in an MMO is a matter of opinion. Now, even the hype of Camelot Unchained (which DizzyPW subjects me to at least once a week) doesn’t do anything for me. The last time I was genuinely excited about an MMO was WildStar, and that crushed my dreams as I kept adding to a long list of things I couldn’t do because they were bugged (some of those bugs still aren’t fixed, either). On a personal level, though, it’s depressing. It’s a good attitude to have as a member of the gaming press, as it fosters a more neutral and skeptical perspective when I report on games. As a veteran player of MMOs, I’ve grown slowly jaded after years of disappointments and drollery. ![]()
