Wildstar To Launch On June 3 · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday March 12, 2014 @10:43AM from the movin'-on-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Carbine Studios, a game company founded by former Blizzard developers, has been working on a new sci-fi MMORPG called Wildstar. The game has now gotten a release date: June 3rd. Rock, Paper, Shotgun's preview described the game thus: 'it's trying to out-MMO every other MMO. Not with big talk of moving narratives or ever-changing worlds, but by ramping up the unreal theme pack nature of its peers and predecessors. This is a game where you're constantly presented with a legion of things to do, numbers to increase, boxes to tick, things to collect, factions to impress, points to earn, monsters air-dropped in to battle without warning and/or preferably all of the above simultaneously. It might even be too much, too overwhelming in its parade of sideshows.'"

In other words: Welcome to the grind fest, where if it doesn't consume your entire life then you lose.

  Or, by losing you win, but feel you didn't win, so keep trying and keep losing, until you are good enough to win and thus lose.
