Shroud claims big problems will stop Lost Ark from really challenging MMO rivals Smilegate \/ Twitch: ShroudMichael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek isn\u2019t keen on some aspects of Lost Ark, including its style and combat, and in his view, that could stop it from challenging other MMOs like World of Warcraft. Shroud told fans that all he wants to play at the moment is MMO games. \u201cThe stage that I\u2019m in gaming-wise at the moment is very much MMOs,\u201d he said. \u201cLike, I really just want to play MMOs. I\u2019m in a weird MMO phase.\u201d It\u2019s not all that surprising since he\u2019s always been a massive fan of World of Warcraft and has enjoyed his time on New World. But it is a step in the opposite direction of first-person shooters, which has always been his niche. However, that doesn\u2019t mean he wants to play them all. For example, he has no interest in playing Lost Ark despite all the interest and hype brewing among other streamers like Asmongold, and he explained why. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m going to play Lost Ark. I don\u2019t think so,\u201d he said. The first reason he mentioned is that he simply doesn\u2019t like how the game looks. \u201cI\u2019m not a fan of its style. I\u2019m not a fan of its over-the-top style.\u201d However, the second reason, and arguably the more important one, is that he believes a crucial gameplay element doesn\u2019t stack up to its competitors. \u201cThe combat is just not appealing to me. That\u2019s all.\u201d Shroud admitted it was a \u201cshame\u201d that he isn\u2019t interested in the game because it could have been a good \u201cfiller\u201d for him to play between other things. But in the end, it just doesn\u2019t \u201cintrigue\u201d him enough to make him want to play. Instead, he\u2019d prefer playing some old classics of the genre. \u201cI think about playing a private server for City of Heroes again. I think about playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. I think about playing World of Warcraft.\u201d Shroud did give Lost Ark a chance during the closed beta. However, it sounds like it didn\u2019t make a good impression \u2014 at least not one that is strong enough to swoon him away from other MMOs like New World. Either way, we\u2019ll find out whether he decides to give it another crack once the game officially launches on February 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
