Many months ago, an /r/mmorpg Redditor posted up a reverse sort of award list: a list of MMOs he had stopped anticipating.
I hung onto that link all this time because I thought it’d be perfect to bring back up now that award season is over. Star Citizen won our most anticipated award, and I know that it hasn’t really taken longer than a good MMO should, but I think I’ve stopped seriously pining for it since doing so seemed kind of pointless. It’s just such a long way away. And while it’s still going to be a no-brainer to play it, I’m not “anticipating” it in anything like an active way anymore. It’s coming, but I’ve lost my conscious hype. Maybe that’s always the danger when we know too much too soon.
How about you? Are there incoming MMORPGs or other online games you were once all hot and bothered about but now are no longer anticipating?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
