Dr Disrespect explains why he\u2019s avoiding Lost Ark despite new MMO launch hype YouTube: Dr Disrespect \/ Smilegate RPGDespite an enormous wave of new release hype surrounding Lost Ark, Champions Club founder Dr Disrespect himself has no plans to jump into the Amazon Games title, arguing MMOs lack in one key area. Following on from 2021\u2019s New World, an ambitious MMO that quickly lost a significant chunk of its player base, Amazon Games is back with another attempt in 2022. With their name attached to Lost Ark, which is finally hitting Western shores on February 11, expectations are high and just hours into the early access hype is reaching all-new levels. Hundreds of thousands of new accounts have been made \u2014 and the game hasn\u2019t launched fully yet. Popular streamers have been reaping the benefits too, with the likes of Asmongold even setting all-time viewership records. Though even with this level of attention, one immensely popular YouTube icon won\u2019t be jumping in. Dr Disrespect isn\u2019t \u201cexcited\u201d for Lost Ark in the slightest, he told viewers during a February 9 broadcast. Even with TimTheTatman trying to sell him on it, Doc wouldn\u2019t budge. \u201cWhat gets you so excited about Lost Ark?\u201d the two-time asked during his latest Warzone session \u2014 a game he recently labeled a \u201csnooze\u201c. \u201cPlease explain why you like [MMOs].\u201d Having already played a few hours of the new release earlier that day, Tim was quick to praise the archetypal MMO experience. Everything from \u201cleveling your character\u201d and acquiring \u201crare gear\u201d to the PVP side of combat all stood out as highlights during his first day with Lost Ark. But none of that was enough to sway Doc when it came to one gripe in particular. \u201cWhere\u2019s the skill though?\u201d Dr Disrespect fired back. \u201cIn terms of a skill that you might be able to recognize from one player to another,\u201d he continued, \u201cwhat\u2019s that difference?\u201d Before Tim could even answer, Doc compared his Warzone duo for the day with FPS veteran Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek. \u201cIf I\u2019m watching shroud play the game, then I watch you play the game, MMOs are one of those f**king games where I couldn\u2019t tell the difference between who\u2019s a better player.\u201d Ultimately, it all boils down to the skill factor for Doc. Even with elements of violence, speed, and momentum layered across Lost Ark\u2019s gameplay, players are a little too evenly matched on the surface for his liking.
