Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (PC)

...are over a week since Age of Conan, one of the mostly highly anticipated MMO's that has ever probably seemed like a dream since the days of 'Pong' has hit our shelves. Now if your not up for reading a long review.. all i have to say is this game is AWESOME! If your looking for a bit more carry on reading. I among many other eager gamers was brought in to Beta test this game a couple of months prior to launch. Now as much as i adore this game there ...
...back. There is something about Age of Conan that has me pulled in maybe its because I was a fan of the books, maybe its the stunning graphics.. and maybe, just maybe its because of the mature language and blood splatting on my screen as I take an axe to another one of my unfortunate foes for the 100th time today. All I can say though is you will always have the World of Warcraft faithful but if your looking for a game where your not running round ...

Review of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (PC)

...computer chair all day? Maybe. Age of Conan has the potential to become next big MMORPG but at the moment it lacks some much needed diversity, and not to mention the hundreds of bugs, gliches etc., that litter the realm of Hyboria. For any who didn't know, a MMORPG is a Massively Mulitplayer Online Role Playing Game; basically this involes creating a character that adventures through a series of quests and dungeons with fellow human players. Okay, ...
...=== Combat === This is Age of Conan's trump card. Instead of the usual auto-attacking mixed with a click of a few spells, you are put in control of every smack slash or sweep. At the core, combat consists of using one of threee attacks, Upper left, Central and Upper right. Each enemy has three defence "bars" which they place in one of the three postions. You can attack in any direction any time, but by attacking the direction with the one with the ...

Review of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (PC)

Age of Conan is the new Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing game from Funcom Studios, it had been in the making for years hampered by delay after delay but finally it is out to buy officially now in all good game retailers. The game is pay to play (P2P), that means that once the initial free month you get when you purchase the game, you still have to fork out another nine odd quid to continue playing. Character Customisation: Like in most ...
...up and downloading stages you get to create a character, the character creation system is very deep allowing you to tweak obvious things such as face and hair style to little tiny things to scars and marks infact if you look around no two player characters are likely to look the same, you can also change height and weight which is not usually doable in most MMORPGs. You start of the game with your newly created character when a storm smashes through ...

Review of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (PC)

...I was persuaded to play Age of Conan by my partner, I was not really into games, and certainly would not have considered myself to me a 'gamer'! Now, I find myself wishing away the day, waiting to get home to play Conan and chat to my on-line friends, now my Guild Members. It is very easy to find yourself completely lost within the game, and you find yourself really becoming your chosen character and it doesn't seem like a roleplaying game anymore, ...
...play with friends, as you can team up for most parts of the game, and if playing alone, there will always be other people on-line that will want to involve you. The sound and graphics are absolutley amazing and I would now find myself at a completely loose end if it came to an end! It is supposed to be an aduly-only game, but it is obvious by the chat lines that there are some younger players. The PVP option is great, but it can sometimes ruin ...

Review of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (PC)

One of the BEST mmorpg's i have ever played in my life. The only reason i had to stop playing it was because i ran out of money and could not afford the monthly payments. Yes it requires a monthly fee of 15, 12 or 10 dollars a month, depending on if you pay a large sum of money at the beginning of the subscription. great value for your money i could play it all day and still never get tired of it. Character templates amazing so detailed. design's ...
...the time of Conan. This game is the best mmorpg i have ever played. The only down side to the game is that you can get ganked by anyone anywhere. It can get any person angry with a guy camping the re spawn. The classes are Assassin Barbarian Bear Shamaan Conqueror Dark Templar Demonologist Guardian Herald of Xotli Necromancer Priest of Mitra Ranger Tempest of Set. Lets start with assasin's they do massive amounts of damage while hiding in the shadows. ...

Review of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (PC)

...price, I delved deeper into Age Of Conans past. Apparently, the game was plagued with bugs and balance issues at the start of its lifetime, causing masses of people to stop playing. However, any bugs appear to have been ironed out now, and the game would be a fantastic choice for someone looking to buy an MMORPG, without having to sink hundreds of hours into it to reach a high level. I would recommend this game to a friend as it is fun, and easy ...

Review of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (PC)

An excellent and well planned game. It does have many bugs and content that should be added that other mmorpgs have, but these are all being fixed. New online games take time to develop and this is no exception, but this will be one of my favourite games this year. Ignore the bad press and try it for yourself and you won't be disappointed. Shares many of the same features as other games like world of warcraft but with a more "oblivion (elder scrolls)" ...
