Has anyone else been watching this? I remember signing up for Beta what feels like forever ago, and all of a sudden videos have been poouring out aboutthe game. This video in particular makes it look really cool to me.

Paths!

I thought it looked pretty cool, but in my experience other than GW2, NCSOFT publishes janky, 1/2 finished crap.

So I'll be waiting until its out.

Yeah Aion was okay... for a week... but this just looks like a stupid-fun game. Reminds me a lot of ratchet and clank, and jak and daxter. I'm gonna keep my eye on it.

Granok..made of living stone.....so badass...... i will now look at this game :P

I'm definitely keeping my eye on this game. Trying to avoid getting too hyped up, but i do believe Wildstar will be my next MMO!

I've been watching the videos over and over. If the game play has even a dash of the silliness the videos do, I'm sold for at least a month.

To many games, too little time. But yes i will be checking this out.

I've shown the videos to a few co workers ob my lunch the past couple days. Hoping to spread the hype.

E3 2013: Not so wild about WildStar
I debated posting this, because I don't want to tamp anybody's enthusiasm. Massively had a hand's on with WildStar at E3 and were not impressed. Highlights:

I was put on a planet and given the usual assortment of MMO stuff. I'll be blunt: I thought I was playing World of Warcraft with Guild Wars 2's combat with bad controls.

Now, my experience was fairly negative, but keep a few things in mind. This was a really restrictive demo. I'm sure I could remap these keys normally, which would have helped a lot. I was also looking forward to trying the non-combat aspects of the game and seeing something different from some of the other MMOs on my list. While I did try a single jumping puzzle, that's not nearly as new or unique as scanning things for lore or building areas for quest givers. Maybe those would have been better for me and better for other MMO previewers at E3. As it was, my hands on with WildStar sadly felt far too similar to many of the other MMOs coming out now.

To be honest, floating back to "WoW-style" wouldn't be a bad thing to me personally. So far that game has still taken up the most of my time on any MMO. But this is something to keep in mind, and to put a little bit of the game into perspective. Who knows, maybe they will revamp their whole combat idea after E3?

I wish I could life-hack a /videogametime command to see an entire list of every video game I've ever played and how many hours I've spent on it.
