MIA Online is a recent new mobile MMORPG which entered Open Beta published by Cubinet Interactive. A Southeast Asia-based company, there is a focus on the local region of players even though the game itself is open to all countries with an Android device. MIA Online doesn’t introduce any ground-breaking features nor systems, and at first look actually looks quite outdated. But given the many features it has, it is definitely worth a quick look. The Bad Graphics: Yes, with an abundance of quality games with high-end visuals powered by Unity 3D and Unreal Engine 4, MIA Online looks like a game from the 90s. While modern gamers might be turned off by it, there is actually a positive. This means that many old low-end phones can play MIA Online (with a stable connection), increasing the population!Note: I primarily played MIA Online on the PC emulator, BlueStacks, for recording purpose. Sounds: Other than the background music, there is little to no sound effects for combat, such as … [Read more...] about – A quick look at the Open Beta phase of new mobile MMORPG

My Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekend Event Impressions (with video and screenshots!)
I’ve shown you screenshots of Lion’s Arch, I have linked to other people’s reactions to the first Beta Weekend Event, what’s now missing is my own thoughts and comments on the beta. On Friday and Saturday evening (not Sunday evening, though!), we couldn’t play much because we kept getting kicked from the server (on Saturday, my client decided to crash while I was sorting screenshots for my Lion’s Arch posting) and when we tried to log on again, we kept getting error messages and the friendly, yet sarcastic-sounding sentence “please try again in a few minutes”. I don’t think I need to tell you how annoying and disappointing that was! Other than that, they still need to optimize the performance (changing your graphics settings didn’t lower or raise the frame rate, for example) but that’s something I won’t comment on further until the game is close to or even past release. They even said themselves that the client … [Read more...] about My Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekend Event Impressions (with video and screenshots!)

[Steam page] Nexon today announced the start of the 1-week Open Beta phase for its new PC online game, Tango 5 Reloaded, now available on Steam and the Nexon Launcher.

Dauntless Weapons – From Worst To The Best
Dauntless is a new free to play co-op action rpg that has recently released its open beta. The premise of the game is somewhat similar to monster hunter. You are a slayer in charge of keeping the peace in Rammsgate (dauntless’ first and currently only city). How do you keep the peace? You slay big monsters with big weapons. Picking between the Dauntless Weapons is a difficult task. Currently dauntless has five weapon types which all have a different playstyle. Each weapon has a different role to fill in a group setting. Although each weapon is useful in its own ways some weapons clearly outshine the others. With that in mind we created this tier list to help out new slayers on the battlefield ranking each weapon type from worst to best. 5. The War pike The war pike is a fast spear with a unique wound mechanic. Each strike made by a war pike causes both part/raw damage (yellow/green) damaging the Behemoth’s HP and part, and wound damage (red). Each behemoth part has a … [Read more...] about Dauntless Weapons – From Worst To The Best
