Medieval Game Beyond the Standards
PostedMarch 23, 2014
So, I hear a lot of people say this game is bad for a lot of reasons. Many I agree to, but this game is average, and let me say that is pretty great for a game that is about three years old and got some terrible reviews. If you played this game, you would have already known that the voices are stupid and embarrassing, and it is true. However, I am not writing this to make you not want to play it because of the voices. Play it because it is fun, and being similar to World of Warcraft, it does not seem addicting. I played it for some time and have not been so addicted to it for I focus on my work more than this game. So please, give this game a try, it really does need improvements, but you will not see most errors.
My boyfriend says, "My girlfriend's first MMO addiction." I played WoW for a bit and I didn't last too long playing that game, I stopped playing when I reached around level 20. I'm not saying WoW is a bad game, but it wasn't for me (my boyfriend played it years). As for Tera I was definitely drawn in by the graphic design and gameplay. I love anime so I was drawn into the Elins and the Castanics are visually appealing. I think all the other races are unique. The character design has so many customizable choices from hair-face-skin-voice. My boyfriend wasn't sure at first about this Free-to-Play game. However, he really likes this F2P because in his opinion, he has played lots of F2P, and they limit you to chatting-playing-quests etc. This F2P doesn't really have much limitation. You get 2 character slots, can complete any quests, and talk to people, and there are bonuses to signing up. And I believe there is no leveling up limitation. If you buy the game, which is not sold anymore/rare you get 8 character slots, mount, and other bonuses. Gamestop is one of the last places to carry a few in store. I happened to buy the last copies at two different stores. Subscription gives you quest, mount, fiery halo, and other bonuses.

Good, but you can find better.

I played the Beta and for a while, it was great! The combat was engaging, the story seemed pretty decent and the game was nice to look at. However, after actually buying the game, I thought otherwise. The combat was good, but got repetitive. The story quickly deteriorated. Graphics can't keep me engaged forever. Plus, the true deal-breaker was that it wasn't free-to-play, which ticked me off. I'm going to say it right now that I am a console gamer. I don't usually play PC games, let alone MMOs, but I thought this would convert me. It didn't. If your looking for a good beat'em up/ hack'n'slash or RPG, pull out a console or better yet get GW2. That is all.
I really have to say that this game is amazing. I don't understand why this game is at a 7.5. I have played guild wars 2 and i have played tera so my review will be unbiased. Guild wars 2 is a impressing game, i waited months for it. The graphics are nice, the story is the best ive seen but the gameplay... At first it was like i was blinded by how fast paced and cooperative the quests and combat was. It forces you to work together or get nothing, which is both good and bad depending on what kind of player you are.But after a while i was changing professions very often because i felt like i was missing something. After trying each class and race i felt satisfied for a few hours then i was like, no something is still missing only to find out that it wasnt the classes but the combat and gear. The combat felt "dry" and the gear wasnt very appealing to me, the weapons were just normal and not fantasy like, not creative although there are weapons that are very cool and same goes for armor. I just have not gotten any yet. I also think that they should have added duels and should give you the option to play with others or not (however thats possible). Gw2 is an awesome game just needs a little more oomph and pizzaz to it. Also a + because its free to play.
Tera Online was what i turned to after i felt like i was missing something. The graphics are the best out there, the gameplay is truly true action combat and has a more dynamic feel to it, the story is meh, it needs better voice acting and a better lore, the questing is like any other typical mmo and gets a bit grindy. The political system is very unique although i think one other game has something similar,whether you win or lose in pve or pvp depends on your skill and not entirely gear and stats though they do help. The game is enjoyable but for me if its on low graphics it ruins the experience. Its like someone giving you a new car you've always wanted and scratching off the paint. The races and classes are very interesting to me and gives more of a fantasy feel than guild wars 2. It has the traditional holy trinity unlike guild wars 2 where everyone has the ability to heal themselves, tank and dps. This may be a tera review but i gave a comparison aswell as a review so :D. I would definitely recommend both guild wars 2 and tera online. Both amazing and stunning games but tera deserves more than a 7.5. Hopefully improvements are made in patches and expansions. Female characters are awesome btw...
