Prologue:
http://www.kongregate.com/games/PixelatedGames/fantasy-online
Maybe 1 or 2 people remember Jim Dale's Lettuce Play of Realm of the Mad God that never got finished. That game was designed to routinely knack your sacks with a steel-toed boot and have you come back asking for seconds. The trick was that the game had you hooked in way that you could never finish the game/grinding.
Fantasy Online fails at everything, but it has a screenshot feature making this thread much easier. Let's find out why.
Jim Dale will be skipping character creation, but here is a summary:
-You start out as a naked baby
-You get plastic surgery to turn into an anime
-You get to listen to the same track of music until it is deafening
-You kill boring RPG enemies
-Jim Dale will be playing as MikeDawson
-Pikminrules was playing as ShrimpBaby, but quit in 5 minutes
In the next update that comes whenever, we/lonely Jim Dale will start off in Copyright Infringement Town. Here Jim Dale will discuss the nature of quests and the true power of Kongregate(?). This will not be fun.
CHAPTER 1: What is this
This game will give you rectal cancer of the mouth. Jim Dale already hears "JIM DALE YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR FO IS NOT DAGO PLUMBER" Jim Dale assures you IT WILL DESTROY YOU.
This game has a boring first town called Noob Town in the developer's attempt to be funny. Jim Dale likes to call it Copyright Infringement Town. Take a guess why.
The game functions similarly to SK in that IT LIMITS GAME TIME. Normally this would be bad, but WHY WOULD YOU COME BACK TO THIS GAME. Sleep is what determines how much EXP, coins, etc you get from doing stuff. It depletes every time you do something, and fully regens in 8 hours. It is set back to 100 when you level up making it POINTLESS, but it may be a problem in later levels, perhaps if you get addicted to this game and are a hollow shell of a man. We will get to those pink things later.
You may have thought, what the Jim Dale is Jim Dale wearing? That is Kongregate my friend. Pure physical manifestation. The slime hat (if you could even tell it was a slime) is a costume item, and the only hat worn in miles. The blades are KONGREBLADES, they have the power of Kong in every slash (?). It doesn't matter what powers them, they give Jim Dale a HUGE starting advantage over everyone else. Even with this, Jim Dale still felt burdened by long grinding, imagine players with no advantages. No other player seems to have these, making them EXTREMELY RARE. Jim Dale can't wait to delete these in front of a hardcore player.
Combat is nothing. You stand in front of monsters while your numbers fight their numbers. The sprites don't even move and WHY IS JIM DALE GIANT. At random times it seems, Jim Dale was given uber power ups which allowed him to kill most enemies in 1 hit. Why.
QUESTS! Remember that Jim Dale video Jim Dale made mocking what will probably become the new mission system? THAT IS THIS GAME EXCEPT YOU ARE ALONE. Here is the quest lowdown:
-Kill x # of enemies
-Collect x # of items (from enemies)
-talk to someone
-buy gems
The game tries to invoke humor mocking MMOs and their nature of grinding and repetitive quests except YOU CAN'T DO THAT IF YOUR MMO IS NO DIFFERENT. Do you think you're special by doing this FO? The hands of Lakitu will not come down and jerk of- Jim Dale is getting ahead of himself. Under the category "Kill monsters for items" one quest bothered me in particular. On [Crap] Island (read Pirate Island) there is a quest where you must collect old VHS porn tapes. These tapes are locked in special chests requiring a lock-pick to open. THESE COST REAL MONEY. Jim Dale could easily get GEMS (read REAL MONEY) by doing stupid surveys for Kreds, but Jim Dale REFUSES to support these vile men with even a single cent. This quest is now IMPOSSIBLE.
Jim Dale finished n00b island, crab coast (and got some too), and half of pirate island. We will next explore some [crappy] mines where more GEMS will probably come into play.
END NOTES:
Jim Dale feels sick. This game has given Jim Dale sickness with heavy heart and aches all over. Hide your kids and your wife from this game. If you do play, only play on days where the world doesn't need your pathetic existence. Splash your computer with holy water a few times just to be safe.
