Gamespot adds to E3 awards list
It’s a hat-trick of major awards for Age of Conan as we pick up Gamespot’s Best Massively Multiplayer Game of E3 award.
Here is what they had to say in giving the award:
“Aside from letting aoc gold players savagely kill their enemies, Age of Conan apparently will have plenty of other intriguing features, like a substantial single-player game that will let players bring their first character from level 1 to 20. Players will also be able to ride a fully controllable horse who won’t just act as rapid transportation–these mighty steeds can be riding into battle while players use mounted weapons to crush their pitiful pedestrian foes. Players can even join advanced character classes that can do things like lead armies into battle and take control of huge siege engines to bombard their enemies back into the Stone Age.
But let’s face it–one of the game’s main attractions is its brutality. Developer Funcom makes no bones at all about how the game will likely receive an M rating for its graphic violence. Rather than fear the dreaded descriptor, the studio has embraced the mature themes set down by Howard in his novels–stories of dark, lush jungles hiding armies of savage warriors, rather than impoverished beginners killing rats in the hopes of one day purchasing a rusty dagger. Age of Conan made an impressive aoc gold showing at the show this year and based on what we saw, it’s the most promising massively multiplayer game in development today.”
