Hence why your comparison of NES vs Xbox 360 is totally wrong. It's not the graphics that make RuneScape Classic sucky (even though they are, really), but it's mainly the completely horrible gameplay that comes with it. or someone who wasn't around for both games during their prime time.Įdited by Da Dragon, 27 October 2010 - 9:33 PM. I'm sorry but RS2 SUCKS compared to Classic and only a fool wouldn't see it. The dueling-anywhere was epic, we didn't have a trade limit and still don't, our economy was much more balanced and less selfish. Now, you have to junk trade, fight lv 600 bosses, merchant on a ridiculous stock market clone, or just get randomly lucky somehow.Īlso, how could I forget the basics? I've heard dozens upon dozens of people say that RSC had the greatest PvP/pking system ever made for a video game. A few weeks of training and he gave traded me a party hat, santa hat, and some gold for all of it. Like +6-7 years ago, I went mining for someone to collect steel bars to help him be one of the few people with 99 smithing in the game. Now, even "difficult" skills can be maxed out in a matter of half-arse effort while afking and having the x-system do everything for you. Level 99 actually MEANT something back then and was something to be proud of. Skilling actually made real money because raw material was desired for reasons outside of CAPES. Therefore, levels were actually something to be proud of - instead of god damn skill capes to wear and say DERP DERP about all day. RSC was EXTREMELY difficult and tedious compared to RS. Yeah, RSC has been dead for over half a decade and isn't the same anymore and isn't respected by RS2 players.ĭifficult to train? That's what made it so special. If you weren't around for the old times then you just don't understand. Mage, you obviously started past 2006 or something. I go in phases.Įdited by Da Dragon, 27 October 2010 - 5:07 PM.
#Xbox 360 games like runescape free#
Feel free to discuss if you'd like - I'd prefer that. I expect many negative responses to this thread but do as you wish with judging me. Where's my bunny ear and scythe account brothers and sisters? Where's the support I used to see years ago for the actual fun days of online gaming? Not to mention, the community has taken a vicious turn for the worse. Classic kept me busy for a VERY long time - I can tell that RS(2) won't even do a small percent of that. my racing mind just compares it Classic all the time and I just find myself disappointed in what I'm seeing. it's decent but EVERYTHING I do in the game. I even recently got over my stubbornness and decided to actually PLAY the current version of RuneScape. I think too much for my own good sometimes (if you can't tell already). I understand the "getting over things & moving on" garbage and all those philosophical lines - I don't need to be reminded. The thing that completely throws me off track is finding players that I knew from Classic who say to me that they think the new game is finally better. When things were fresh and pure, when iron was something to be proud of, and when everything was more balanced and enjoyable - such as PVP and the economy. Yet, somehow, it always had a strange charm to it that only certain players experienced during, what I call, the golden age of RuneScape (2001-2004). I understand it's less appealing to people who didn't start with it first. I understand that Classic had terrible graphics, needed work, and had far less content.
I understand that comparing the current game to Classic is like putting a NES and Xbox 360 next to each other. I'm sure some people know this already but I've always viewed RuneScape Classic as the better of both games (probably always will) - sadly, it's becoming more and more uncommon to find people who share the same thoughts.Īm I the only person left who still thinks that Classic is WAY better than RS(2)? Sometime early next year, I'm hitting the decade mark. As you can see from my customized member title, my account has been around since almost the beginning of RuneScape.
