It's next to impossible to get a good look at anything. No, it's the miserable camera that just won't settle on anything for a second or find an angle it finds comfortable. It's not the detail either, although compared to some, most, other recent MMOs the detail is less detailed than perhaps we've come to expect. It's not the aesthetic - the aesthetic is fine. I used to take all that stuff pretty darn seriously. It isn't the choice of cartoony graphics per se - I like cartoony graphics because I love cartoons.Tex Avery, AAP, Ub Iwerks, 1960s Hanna Barbera, Rocko's Modern Life. If I had to sum up the entire game in two words those would be the two words that I'd use. Whatever, I had a key so I used it and here are my unformed early thoughts and reactions: Either that or I did apply, late one night, after a bottle of red, months ago.
He didn't even apply? So what? We have his info on file from some other game, don't we? Just set the hook. Pre-orders not hitting targets? Cast the net wider. Tobold, sufficiently taken with WildStar to break his self-imposed MMO fast, interprets the bonus access as a sign that Carbine need more bodies on the ground to test their still-buggy new UI. Consequently and to the best of my knowledge I never even bothered to apply for beta, which made it something of a surprise to come home from work a few days ago to open my email and find an invitation from Carbine to this week's unscheduled beta weekend sitting in my inbox. I found myself becoming less and less interested to the point where I'd gone beyond no longer caring about the game to arrive at a place where I actively avoiding reading anything about it at all. WildStar went on to become one of those odd MMOs where every new piece of information, every press release, every livestream, every blogger's hands-on, every news-site item chipped a little off the gloss. Embarrassing to admit it now, even if whatever caused that rush of blood to the head did very soon wear off. There's written evidence that I thought it might be "the new EQ2". A long, long time go I was interested in WildStar.
