I Played Throne And Liberty So You Don't Have To... Is It Worth It Or Just More MMORPG Slop?

[@willardtk]

I'll try it tomorrow when it's free. I absolutely detest paid early access.

[@uncle3883]

Played FF14 for 5+ years and I always hoped they make the combat system better...still shet so I might try this lol

[@LennoxGibraldi]

If this type of game is more your speed you may like Guild Wars 2

[@gadsanchez4929]

FF14 Combat system engine is at their limit now, Yoshi has stated it tons of times, they did what they could.

[@i420xGaming]

​@@gadsanchez4929 time for a new engine then

[@VashimuXIV]

For a new series I think this was a promising first start, Azu. It’s always nice to try something new, and I see a lot of potential in more MMO reviews from you. As for Throne and Liberty, your review being a bit all over the place is a perfectly fitting way to go about reviewing an MMO like this. Because that’s the major vibe I took away from it after hearing about your experiences, Azu. It seems like an alright time and if I had a proper gaming PC, I probably would give it a crack, but it just kind of gives me the vibe of being something I would drop after a week or two, but it just doesn’t sing to me in the same way the games I currently play do. Which is a shame because I don’t think it looks terrible, graphically as well, it’s quite pleasant, but it just feels.. off, if that makes any sense. But I digress, this was a good watch.

[@coolhandluke9783]

I feel like this is the first honest review about TnL that I've seen.

[@Figiment]

I really wish these types of games respected your time more. GW2 and FFXIV are probably the most time-respecting MMOs IMO, which shows both the more action-combatey MMOs and classic MMOs *can* respect your time, its just a matter of the devs/publishers caring enough to respect it.

[@AzuriteTV]

Honestly my appreciation for FFXIV only goes up when I play other MMO's lmao

[@Majiger]

According to other reviewers, there is a hard cap to reach which apparently costs around $500USD in Korea, and the main gate is as you said time. There are items that are grind only so you can't even whale for them unless you're going to straight up buy equipment. The best weapons are Guild gated, since the best guilds will get the items from world bosses, and they get to choose if they spread them around the guild or sell it. From everything I've seen so far, it looks like NCSoft tried to salvage as much as possible from the garbage that the Lineage 3 mobile game when Korea told them to suck an egg in regard to them only churning out cash grab games with super p2w mechanics.

[@saikame5833]

I'm still on the fence about it, honestly. An NCSoft game not overtly and egregiously p2w is so weird to me ... on top of a KRMMO having one of the most lackluster combat systems ever. Something feels off, if you ask me. The art and design of the game is beautiful though, I'll give it that.

[@markuscherry1189]

I might do just like you said drop a few hours in it just a wet my whistle that’s about that… but I subscribed because you’re no shit given attitude so you won my heart whatever that means to you 👍

[@TheNicox2000]

Thank you for your sacrifice, brother.

[@psychomoon7185]

First of all I think your way to make videos DO give them a nice bit of personality so sure maybe a little more structure would be welcome, but remember that we watch your channel because of who you are, or at least I do, keep up the good work

[@cali4806]

1-50 already? that short? not even a week's worth of MSQ? well one way to find out since its free tomorrow. hopefully its worth the download at the least.

[@socram3254]

comparing this combat to GW2 is an insult to GW2, srly I've never played a MMO with such clunky combat before, and it makes sense when you discover that it was tackled on last minute because of the bad feedback from beta

[@AzuriteTV]

Chill, I said its similar in the same vein that you have 2 weapons and both are hybrids. I've played Guild Wars 2 for hundreds of hours and think the combat is infinitely better there, then in this game

[@socram3254]

@@AzuriteTV sorry I didn't mean to sound aggressive, i'ts just that I tried this game and the combat really turned me off

[@AzuriteTV]

@@socram3254 You're fine! And that's totally understandable, it's super clunky and I do mention that later into the combat section, I admit I could of worded it better earlier into the video

[@matthewjakubowski9020]

18:53 Halo comes along and has this genius battle pass... No, my dude. The genius thing is to not have a battlepass.

[@navneet_prakash]

I hated the combat system just felt weird stopped playing after a day, might give it another try sometime later

[@happi4957]

the intro is just Azu doing the SNIFFA

[@ZessaSnake]

Nice video! To be honest that game went completely past me and I didn't even knew it got released.

[@Nownadda]

Mobile game ported to pc. Literally all the systems and gameplay are directly from other mobile mmos. Skip this garbage.

[@AzuriteTV]

Yeah it even has energy systems, kind of a joke

[@Nownadda]

@@AzuriteTV back to the ff and Warframe grind 😌!

[@mikopo88]

Ye, this is how it feels

[@toketellajokechoke]

Thank you 😅

[@Kaplapdap]

I hate it when they make the UI look like its from a mobile game

[@LennoxGibraldi]

It doesn't surprise me that it's just another clone. I kind of had a feeling from it having such a generic art style, but at least I know for sure it isn't for me now

[@AzuriteTV]

Just more slop sadly

[@brycemoose7026]

Is there controller support for this game?

[@AzuriteTV]

Yeah it has controller support and even released on consoles

[@SheltonFord-w7d]

was like sure ill try it then i seen ncsoft welp no ty

[@LuminNox]

thank your for the video, it just came at the right time for me. I really thought it would turn up how you described it so you confirmed my worries. I might try it tomorrow if I don't have anything to do but it's probably just gonna be a one time thing.

[@Link135]

what are your pc specs? you said mid range but the definition of that can vary

[@AzuriteTV]

Oh sure; My GPU is a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and CPU is AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core

[@justin12890]

thanks for suffering for us. its what i thought it would be p2w trash for the whales. still waiting for new world

[@LilBigSnipe]

😂

[@wondering_hand0985]

This game far better then new world and it ain’t even that bad a f2p players have shit on whales with max gear while people had green gear it depends on your stats and how u build it every class will have a weakness and u will get slapped by someone who counters u

[@GenDrake3]

Im not gonna sweat on it like i did new world but ill play it. Just not a huge korea mmo fan. Theyre always meh with annoying amounts of menus for no reason

[@teddybear1342]

you did well

[@ironbadger8985]

Damn brother, good video and it starts off with more of that sweet sweet FF11 music. Bravo

[@jamezon3136]

I am not a big fan of the game. Combat severely holds it back for me. The fluidity just isn't there. I also don't feel like the abilities flow well into combat either.

[@AzuriteTV]

Yeah it's clunky as shit

[@utikahk4538]

The endgame looks boring so I'm not in a rush. I'll try it for free

[@neodruidic5539]

it seems that ppl also forget that is game is archage where gw 2 and new world now this game have took stuff from

[@wondering_hand0985]

If ur on pc then prob not but console it’s fire af and that’s a fact u can’t change

[@deathshade777]

Don’t know why so many like ff14. It’s a verrrry ugly game. Wows older and looks much better. The combat is extremely bad. This game is so much better

[@LennoxGibraldi]

You may be mistaking FF14 for FF11 which is the MMO that predates WoW. One of the reasons WoWs visually look so dated now (likewise with FF11) is because it's still limping along with that 18 year old engine.

[@Noggintoggin]

just play this till new world comes out

[@GodHexe]

looks way better than black desert online

[@Shoobedooby]

TY

[@nicholasjackson8709]

This seems like it would be a good mmo for casual players.

[@PoesYT]

bruh as someone who is working and has a decent income ... why should I spend 100s of hours grinding if I can just drop like a 100 euro and just buy semi okey gear without a problem ... like for real :D

[@Adrian-ep4qm]

I think it's more about the journey and not the destination, same as with singleplayer games, you can always mod it to get unlimited shit but then you're ruining the fun, the people paying hundreds of euros to be slightly stronger in a an mmo are no different, their achievements aren't as satisfying and doing content that got easy since they swiped just becomes boring and pointless, and you can always brag when you kill a whale as a f2p too it's hella satisfying

[@eam2564]

wow and ff14 goofy ah graphics is a huge point why people try new mmos

[@mauzouq]

I hate when game fanboy hate another game just because he used to play other games

[@samandstacyallen9577]

you weren't holding agro in dungen cause you was using great sword and not sns.... honestly this vod look halfassed
