Worst MMO Ever? - Sphere 3: Rage of the Devastator

This game is neither good nor bad, fun nor boring, it just, is.

If you have trouble with your inventory filling, theres a small trick. If you climb up a high tree and jump off it, then you die and your inventory empties. Thank me later.

For some reason, I am mightily annoyed by games which won't let you sheathe your weapon.

To any developers out there, I have a suggestion: If your game is going to have quest items that you can't actually do anything with except turn them in for a quest, give them their own separate inventory. Don't make players carry them around in the same inventory they keep their stuff in.

Sounds like this game has a really passionate art director, which is something. I'd wonder if it was their project and they needed to justify making their art with a game.

"I feel like playing a warrior so i am gender locked to a female"

That's a first

I know this is quite old but to be fair the 'fence' at 8:12 likely isn't intended to be a fence. It looks like landslide prevention and actually gives the village a bit more character

"Generic unlicensed song playing in a shopping center" sounds like a great description of this game

16:41 "I spend a few minutes trying to work out where the sun is"
You found the moon, at least!

"...hidden away for generations and lost to time. I then find the altar up a slight incline right next to him"



You already noticed he was a troll, turns out that's also his race.

I feel the opposite about the first combat encounter. I would much rather it were a rat or a small goblin, because it really breaks the immersion when you, a rookie at the start of his life journey, can take on a giant forest beast.

Of course a Russian game will have a lack of Polish. They don't like each other. :P

P for paperdoll, they're using an old old term for a character spreadsheet

"It's one of the more expensive microwave dinners" - beautiful metaphor, Josh

I am loving this Worst MMO Ever series. Please keep them coming!

"See if you can remember that music at all"

"What music?"

[solego]

Oh be fair! Several Triple A MMOs have an unstuck feature and I've been thankful every time. And a few do not, and I have regretted the lack almost every time. I end up in the weird corners of games a lot. 😓

[__.__-_.]

10:12 "a strange mix of bored and terrified" had me dying

[RIlianP]

Actually the music in shopping centers, elevators etc. is licensed and owned by Muzak brand of background music (or other similar brand) and is usually designed to numb your mind into tricking you to spend more, so exact description of this game.

[yep]

26:42 This section reminds me so much of Heartwood from TERA Online.
Heartwood was an enormously small little grove that could only be accessed by walking up a mountain in a swamp.
It was very remote and there was only one road in and out.
The vibrant colors remind me a lot of it. Heartwood was visually my favorite area in TERA Online albeit a completely useless one.

I really, really hate low drop rate quests. Game devs, if you want it so that player needs to kill around 100 mobs to finish quest, just make it so player needs to collect 100 or 200 or whatever amount of items and mobs always drop them. That way, players will be annoyed about the grind but at the same time they still feel like quest is progressing. Worst is when you have something like 5% drop rate and get a bad luck streak and no drops after 40 kills or so.... that really, really makes you want to abandon quest altogether.
