Kain, ever play Vindictus?

[Raivu]

I have, and it got a lot more hype than it was supposed to.
Don't get me wrong, the game is fantastic to play, but don't get your hopes up TOO high when you watch the video.
Why? Even on the lowest settings, it still requires a lot of beef to run.

GAMEPLAY

The Gameplay is fantastic. It's much different than any other MMORPGs in the sense that Teamwork with other people is absolute key to winning boss fights. Granted, you can do a few of them on your own in the beginning, but traveling without a party is a bad idea. The graphics are amazing, and the same story setting and sounds from Mabinogi, it's mother game, are left in it.
It's very fun, VERY intense, and very fast paced for a hack and slash MMO.

THERE'S MORE

Blood spurts from enemies, right where your twin blades sliced. Enemies fall, only to become corpses you can hoist and brandish as sadistic weapons. Watch as walls crumble and whole buildings topple, providing you with new toys in the battlefield. With Source Engine physics and destructible, interactive environments, Vindictus redefines everything you thought you knew about "free-to-play."

When a spider three times your height skitters toward you, you'll want one party member to whip a chain around its legs to pin it in place and another to distract it by flinging debris from a nearby pile of rubble, all so you can sneak behind and unleash insane damage with your blade. On the sidelines, your final party member casts healing spells. Dungeons change each time you enter them, so you'll never get bored.

Crawl through dungeons to obtain rare drops and craft one of hundreds of equipment items.
Next, personalize your newly crafted gear with stats via the Enchant system and color via the Dye system. In the end, your character will be clad in gear that's powerful, stylish, and unique. Just be careful when picking your undergarments -- too much fighting can break your gear, revealing what you're wearing underneath!

STORY

The Legend
"The air is thick with despair, and the battles never cease. Rain falls, yet the land is barren, as if the earth has been drenched in too much bloodshed to bear fruit. Monstrous creatures lurk in every trench, cave, and valley. To survive, people have huddled together, forming ramshackle towns with high walls. Yet, cowering behind those walls does not guarantee safety...

What has become of the outside world? Few people know. Fewer care to find out. As the common folk trudge from one empty day into the next, only one thought keeps them going: the Legend. The Legend will come to pass. The people yearn for it, pray for it. They hope and believe. And because they believe, they know.

One day, they will be in Erinn." -Nexon

EXTRA



Vindictus is definitely one of the better things Mabinogi has ever pulled out of their ass. They kept true to the original Mabinogi games by incorporating the same characters, sounds, story and landscape. Even if you didn't like Mabinogi, ESPECIALLY if you didn't like Mabinogi, you will love Vindictus.

I played it for probably a day or so until I realized it was just a rip of Mabinogi.

Then rusty hearts came out and im all "Fuck nexon!" Now life is bacon.
