mobas are zzzz counterstrike:global casualness ZzzZZZ skinfest, 2007scape jagex shit company, I cant seem to think of any other games right now as all other mmoRPGs are like fat hookers compared to Vanilla WoW.
The type of game you're looking for: Community oriented, time-requiring MMORPGs, are a thing of the past. This is why Everquest is nothing like what it once was, or why DaoC was sold to another company for redesign and new management.
Video game quality is in a pretty bad spot right now. RTS games like Starcraft 2: HOTS were a complete dissapointment to me, with the single player campaign being extremely easy (even the achievements in hard aren't difficult, and I had to go above the game's targets and play it all in brutal), story being lazy and simplistic, and it all being super short.
The way the video game market works nowadays is for fast-paced, streamlined, games with high visual and sound quality, that allows for casual use: Play 40 minutes, leave for work, play another 40 minutes, go have lunch, etc.
That's why MOBAs are the big flare of online gaming, why RTS are assessed much more for the multiplayer matches (again 15-45 min duration), or why FPS is still going strong. Single player RPGs are maybe an alternative for you, I think stuff like Elder Scrolls or the Fallout series have received good feedback. I don't play them myself so I can't really comment.
For my part, when I have time to play videogames I either play a bit here, or if not, load old emulators for SNK arcade games or 90s-2000s RTS games.
dude! I feel the exact same, starcraft 2 was the letdown of the decade. I was so excited, I was really into the SC BW korean e sport scene, i loved the campaign, I was finally getting good at BW, then sc2 comes out and its like wtf it just shit on a whole gaming culture/movement that was SC BW.
Like everytime I try to talk to someone about how todays games are complete dumpster trash im met with "you're living in the past" "you complain about everything" (not true i only ever complain about games) "just enjoy the present" (rofl sure let me enjoy this tasty shit).
And me too, whenever I don't play vanilla WoW, im playing WC3 multiplayer or campaign, Super smash bros melee with friends, bullet hell games... oh well I guess the golden era of gaming is over
Casuals have ruined another one of my hobbies
