I might well do that when it gets cheap in sales!

To be fair, shooters start to be less accessible by the time you’re thirty. A combination of age slowing your reflexes and making you easily confused by bright lights and loud sounds tends to put a dampener on things.

That said, Borderlands 2 is pretty much Diablo with guns. Give that a shot.

That picture is tantalizing! It looks like a cross between Star Wars, Fallout, and Warhammer 40K. I actually can’t stop looking at it…

“client based mission structures with persistent elements” sounds rather like Guild Wars (1) or Diablo 3 to me. So not a “proper” virtual world type MMO but a game with persistent online characters and possibly a lobby type area so you can show off your epic shoulderpads.

I’ll be happy if the jump to MMO-like doesn’t do to my opinion of Bungie what SW:ToR did to my opinion of BioWare.

That makes the MMO-ish Sci-fantasy shooter-based team: Dust 514, Destiny, and Titan if I’m not missing anyone. You’re right, seems to be the new thing.

I know I’ve gushed over it before, but have you tried Firefall? If you know mmo-terminology, you aren’t very far away from mastering this shooter (plus… fun!) For a almost non-shooter gamer like me, that game was/is very accessible

That picture looks amazing! What I really like (and I know this is wet) is the concept of an accessible shooter.

Not even a Halo fan (although I really liked ODST), and im excited about that. Sounds and looks cool.
