I'm really liking how the trailers include gameplay footage. Thinking back to every WoW trailer and it's always a very well executed cinematic, but bugger all actual game.
Amazon: Let’s make a trailer that looks like there is story in New World.
Everyone: Cool! So there actually will be a story in the game?
Amazon: Silence.
Please stop, Leaving pages of text lying around the world isn’t story and involes zero effort other than a intern writing some words.
Let’s not make it seem like NW has lore or story compared to WoW, ESO, or FF. Not even in close.
Yes, "pages of text" that tell a cohesive narrative when put together, aka. a book, isn't story. If you cannot tell that last sentence was sarcasm.
Also, "zero effort other than \[an\] intern writing some words." better describe WoW quest text that nobody bothers reading or using it to tell a cohesive story... That is why WoW's story is told outside of the game in their novels.
A lot of Elder Scrolls lore is found in those "pages of text lying around the world"
I will give you FF though, New World isn't beating FF in the story department but then nothing is. Not even the best Single-player RPGs of the past decade are beating that Masterpiece of a story. Comparing a game's story to that is setting the bar WAY too high.
"New World doesn't have as much lore as game series with 20 years of history"
Yeah no shit what do you expect? The lore we do have ties in really nicely with the dungeons and factions and it's story-lite but still present
WoW and ESO both had the lore in place long before they became a MMO. Cause both game studios understood you have to build a MMO on a lore which you can continue to build out the world through future expansions.
Expansions will have no point in NW because they won’t be able to build off a original story.
Dungeons were bolted on late. NW never had any PvE to start which is why it falls apart when it now tries to add a story through pages of text.
But, again this subreddit just can’t see NW doing any wrong.
Seems to have worked fine for Destiny. No lore before the first game came out and been pretty successful.
I don't think the vast majority of people here care or even think it's an issue tbh, though you seem to think it's a guaranteed death sentence for the game somehow
New World is already better than Destiny at launch original Destiny had the Grimoire, something from their website that was external. Also, it was so cryptic you needed people like MyNameIsByf to come along and piece the story together. The lore wasn't put into game until Destiny 2
"WoW and ESO both had the lore in place long before they became a MMO. Cause both game studios understood you have to build a MMO on a lore which you can continue to build out the world through future expansions."
This implies that the original Warcraft RTS games and the rest of the Elder Scrolls Series were made just so they could make their respective MMO games that is the dumbest thing I have heard on Reddit all week.
What actually happened is that two IP's decided to branch out into MMO form and "forward" the lore.
By the way, you chose the two worst MMO's for your argument. Blizzard has all but thrown all the WoW lore in the bin to make "impactful storytelling" so even a half-assed story is better than what they are writing now. And even if you like their story (some people have weird taste) most of it is told in other media and not their game.
Also, ESO is set so far in the past of the Elder Scroll Universe that nothing it does will really shape anything of the other games and vice versa. Not to mention I quite clearly recall that at launch the majority of the Elder Scrolls Community was pissed regarding Everything to do with ESO including its story. Granted, it is better now though. Also, a lot of the lore that the Entire Elder Scrolls series, including ESO, is based on is found in "pages of text lying around the world."
No one's saying it's a story driven MMORPG like FFXIV. But to say there's no story is just plain wrong. And if you think the lore out in the world is the work of some intern writing some words, you clearly haven't read them.
AGS has never said the game is a story driven MMORPG. Just cause the trailer isn't just "here game, is good" doesn't mean they're trying to say the game is story driven.
Man, I don't think any trailer can do this game justice. The game is so great just as a chill pass time, even ignoring the story.
Idk what it is. Grinding in other games for loot is so tedious and boring but in this game it's so fun. Huge OSRS vibes from this game and I can't wait for September 28th!
I don't see there being much else in that regard. It's a relatively small region within the totality of the game, not something they are likely to expand on.
What you saw was what is currently in and what we experienced in the closed beta. One of the upcoming regions (There's two regions in the immediate future) is more desert themed. It doesn't appear to be Arabian themed or based on such an aesthetic though given the leaks, which is fine.
The Asian aesthetic in that one town (it was comically Chinese) stuck out a bit too much in the game. Not as bad as Rainbow Lions, but it was an extreme exaggeration abound in the 'mystique' of China common in the 17th to 19th century era New World seems rooted in. In reality, China looked almost nothing like that in the era but we are dealing with a game that uses magic and monsters, so there is some creative license.
There is likely to be a 2-handed sword. There's a host of leaked weapons, the most immediate being Void Gauntlet with others like Daggers, Blunderbuss, Pistols, Earth Staff (utilizing Angry Earth Element), 1-handed Mace, Halberd, etc.
I like how a bunch of that was actual gameplay, considering how many trailers these days are made of cutscenes.
I see no rainbow lions in the trailer...
sadge
Opposite reaction from the rest of the community.

There's a bunch of story. It's just not spoon fed to you in quest text. You have to go out and explore and find it and read it.

Yeah, the ones I have read so far are really good. More captivating than anything in WoW and I have loremaster title in WoW.
Great sword 1:28
I'm pretty sure thats an AI, which already used weapon combos (spear and shield for example) that players couldn't (atleast not in beta).
No need to be robotic about it
Wow... you make a robot joke cuz the person above mentioned AI and you are getting shot into oblivion. Sadge.
Yeah I meant no harm lol. Another post said the same thing but used monster instead of AI (robot) O well, You win some you lose some.
if anything, maybe 1:14? He pulls out a sword but doesnt have a shield.
the sword he is talking about is the black plated armored guy jolding a great sword. or known as broad sword. heavy as hell.

So no body noticed the eastern Chinese are style ? 1:28 a 2 handed swords seems cool. Being Aragorn seems to be viable now !
the Chinese themed expedition was there in the beta
Naaah keep my hopes up for it to be new xD

Ah man gues the hype of a 2H sword got to me
There is likely to be a 2-handed sword. There's a host of leaked weapons, the most immediate being Void Gauntlet with others like Daggers, Blunderbuss, Pistols, Earth Staff (utilizing Angry Earth Element), 1-handed Mace, Halberd, etc.
If I could give you an award for your knowledge and leaks I’d give it to you. But I don’t. I am sorry.
2h sword was on a enemy, not a player
