AE is a great company. Sure they leech off everything, but that's why their games win in the humour category. They have variety you see... not only genuine humour but also moronic humour (e.g. Arggthas) which makes you go :wall:

 

 

 

So they aren't leeching per se. Just like JaGeX doesn't leech of Monty Python among other stuff.

JaGeX does it all the time WoW does it all the time AQ has never done it.

 

This guy got it spot on!

I miss the days people laughed if someone thought games were about good graphics :(

 

I agree with you. I think these days people will play ANYTHING that has good graphics, no matter how terrible the plot is. Just look at F.E.A.R. and most other FPS... You're exposed to the plot in little tiny 10 second chunks, flanked on both ends by 10 minutes of spraying bullets at faceless baddies. AW YEA!!!!

 

 

 

Also the people who are being hostile to AQ need to chill out... You ever try mentioning RS in a non-RS fansite forums? You'd be eaten alive 10x worse than what you're doing to AQ. And yet at the same time you'd be thinking that they're jerks and morons, because they're flaming you for something you like to do. Try to keep things in perspective.

Well said by the psycho robot.

 

AQ isn't ripping of Jagex' Mechscape idea. I've seen them advertising for their own mech game several years ago, at least before Jagex announced the development of Mechscape.

 

 

 

 

 

p.s. I'm God :P

Mine was level 90+ , at certain level i would get a 4-combo melee hits but i had only 3 combo :(

MechQuest existed BEFORE MechScape was even devised.

 

 

 

EDIT: scratch that, MechScape might've been in production at the time of MechQuest's release. My point is that MechQuest was released into the market first.

So what if it was? AQ is a new level of horridness imo that can't be beat so let it try to feed off MechScape. Mercy rule.

 

 

 

 

 

This comes from a person who played AQ at his grandmother's house b/c her comp couldn't run RS.

Why, oh why would you bring that abominations very name to these respectable forums?

 

that game and everything involved with it were spawned from the very depths of hell itself.

 

the very mention of it causes kittens to die and small children to burst into tears......

r u talking about AQ in the eyes of some Runescapers? or Runescape in the eyes of most of the gaming world?

im sure in AQ there is a complete rip-off-char of link from LOZ

 

can some1 post piccy?

All games copies things from each other. Mech's are popular and therefore they appear in a lot of different games. AQ could have got this idea from RS, but they could as well have stolen it from some other game or made it up themselves.

Isn't everything mechanized these days?

 

 

 

BTW:

 

Arrgthas = win

 

Clear rip-off though.

Wow such a clear sign of bias.

 

 

 

Mech quest has been around for well over a year, so im not sure how they stole the idea from jagex.

 

 

 

Everybody will say their game is better than others, its the way things work, but please, keep it to yourself, because its all total bias, and alot of it is totally wrong.

Mechscape is 2 years old They were both competitors in their time until Jagex went 3D and owned AQ now Jagex wants to see if they can beat their Mechquest

 

 

 

I do hope you're not trying to say that Jagex only made Mechscape to compete with this "Mechquest". That'd just be stupid.

 

 

 

I don't know, your whole post's confusing. :?

I also wanted to mention that it appears that Mechscape is leeching off of Warhammer 40k. Why? Multiple pictures appear to have Tau architecture and the drones in front look very much like Earth Caste builders.

 

 

 

See? I can do it too.

I miss the days people laughed if someone thought games were about good graphics :(

 

 

 

When did it even become ok for anyone who played runescape to laugh at another games graphics lol.

Either way RuneScape is still better than Adventure Quest.

This remind anyone else of the "Simpsons did it" episode of South Park.

 

Funny :)

 

but true

 

its going to be hard to find something completely original but they will probably edit it slightly.

 

I don't see why its a big deal because AQ is a bad game

 

Rs is a good game

 

K?

I am one of the few that plays and likes both AE's and Jagex's games(and maybe another's.......), and I see their good and bad points:

 

 

 

AE(Adventure Quest, Dragonfable, Mechquest, Adventure Quest Worlds(Their actual MMO.......and yet nobody mentioned it)):

 

Good: Big sense of humour when playing games.

 

Elements bring a new part of the game, as doing the right element can do a lot of damage......but sometimes enemies are just epic against all of them(I hate them).

 

Only need 1 payment to make yourself a 'member' in the game(except for AQW, it has 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year subs, which also come with a secondary currency).

 

The games are updates regularly, and design notes on 3 of the games from the designers make it good to know what may be coming up(or seeing how they might have made a fool of themselves......poetry generator?(don't ask....don't)

 

(I never go on their forums, but nvm -.-)

 

Bad: At this time of posting, i just can't think of any(maybe it's because i'm staying up late......>_>)

 

 

 

Jagex(Runescape, Funorb(Funorb IS good, k? I know it is.....)

 

Good: Runescape has lasted VERY long(so far 8 years), and has dedicated staff.

 

Graphics are realistic(may vary in funorb games though)

 

In-game events with mods are now being done(it's happened on funorb for 5 months now.....including Jmod-run clans)

 

The 3 types of combat is much harder to understand, as the armour mechanics ingame is different to other MMO's.

 

Bad: Ongoing subscriptions. but seriously, they don't cost much(for me atleast)....so this is barely a bad. unless you've found out you've spent £175+ on subs for my time atm(4 years from jan 05, still going good).

 

 

 

Good for me why playing both games: Short attention span, meaning i can vary my gameplay......

 

 

 

Now ofcourse, being a multi-MMO'er, and the fact you've all found out, you may be biased on me staying on one side and not caring about the other. But i want to make friends across all the games, and have fun, and that's what really matters in gaming. Maybe.

 

 

 

Also, I would show you screenies of my AE characters, but this post may be a bit big by now, and i am tired.....maybe tomorrow?

Isn't everything mechanized these days?

 

 

 

BTW:

 

Arrgthas = win

 

Clear rip-off though.

 

 

 

Rip off or reference? Jagex used the idea of Mithril from Lord of the Rings. Is that a rip off too? Or just a reference to a well known work? Its not as if AQ profited enormously from "stealing" the name Arthus, its just another example of their particular style of humor.

Depends on what more they have taken from Blizzard. There's nothing wrong with a reference, but if the entire quest thingy is one big reference, then I speak of a rip-off (or parody if it's done with permission).

It's Arthas :

Adventure Quest is not better than Runescape, but some posts in this topic is just ridiculous.

 

 

 

AQ is hell of a fun game...that's for sure.

 

 

 

I had more fun exploring AQ, than i had exploring Runescape as low level.

I would not like to see what else you would deem "fun".

Mithril in LotR is silvery. :D

 

 

 

But yes, it is a reference.

 

 

 

ON TOPIC...

 

 

 

Adventure Quest is a land of bad puns and things that amuse my siblings but I find rather childish.

 

 

 

It's fun when I wanna squash things with little to no risk of death and RuneScape is killing my computer, though. Guess I'm childish, then :thumbsup: .

What s/he said. I heard about Mechquest's release long before 'Scape.

 

It's a futuristic robot game. Those are EVERYWHERE. Hell, I could say the concept of Mechscape is ripping off Star Wars/Trek.

 

I can't say this thread is doing much for my opinion of Tip.It as a whole though. Arguing that graphics make a game good? :wall:
