MapleStory 2 - Who Cares?

[Eos]

There.
An "official" topic for it. Now we can needn't make two dozen others about it.

It's announced as it's going to get before it gets here, assume it's real, go vote & discuss.

Screens, links yadda.

I'll try MS2, but I probably won't enjoy it since I'm accustomed to MS being 2D.

[Solarboy]

I'll play it, I don't expect it to feel exactly like MapleStory, since that is the whole point of a sequel.

[Lozmaster]

A maplestory that isn't a 2d sidescroller loses the thing that interested me about maple in the first place.

[Onion Knight]

>Nexon
>F2P
>3D

All of my rejection.

[RedRaven16]

It can't hurt to try it right?

[Viaje]

There's only two reasons why I'll try out Maplestory 2.
*sigh*
"Because I can and it's free."

There's no real reason -not- to try it out as long as my puny laptop can take it.
As others have voiced though, I'm skeptical as to any 3D game's ability to create the same awe that Maplestory created in me when I first played it.
It's kinda sad, but I love all the pretty pictures in Maplestory.

From what little can be told from the one screenshot we have, MS2 looks to try to keep the feel of the original as far as the environment goes, but I really hope the top-down perspective isn't that pronounced in the final release.
The three playable characters in the screen are hardly distinguishable thanks to that point of view.

Concisely ninja'd.

Though you should add "...as long as you don't give Nexon your money."

I do not play MS anymore but will try MS2


I still play MS and will try MS2

I've never played MS but will try MS2


I've never played MS and won't try MS2

Can you edit polls? You might need to remake this.

That screen shot to me feels like Final Fantasy 3 evolving to Secret of Mana, effectively.

Not exactly a huge leap. They still look sprites, not true 3D models, this is just 2.5D at best.

[CrazyForDex]

Never saw any ss about it, but I'll give it a try- might as well considering I wasted (I feel bitter-sweet about using the word 'wasted') the last few years playing the failure GMS is.

I actually prefer the 2.5D approach when it comes to Maple, to be honest.

There's a long list of franchises that just went to pomegranate when converting to 3D, and a lot of them failed simply because it's exceedingly difficult to create the same look and feel of a sprite-based universe in one that exclusively employs 3D models.

[RedRaven16]

uhhh Eos the first and 3rd options are the same

[KhainiWest]

Game managed by nexon?

Never again.

[Jon]

I still play (well, I haven't played in like a week lol) and I'll definitely try it.

[Stereo]

Hell no. There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, maybe it's in Tennessee -


Also, 3d fugly.

[Devil]

Who wants to ever start playing a Nexon again? lol...

It's all about NX and hacking anyway...

Buy or hack your way into "success" and post a video on youtube to show of the size of your e-penior.

Faith of all Nexon games... :')

[aslemn]

I'd just give it a chance, though i don't have a lot of hope on it.
Unless all the good storylines, and all the other things that should've been implemented in MSI are going to be saved for MSII. :|
At least this would explain why the quality of everything has been drastically damaged.

[MuscleWizard]

I'll try anything once

[FenixR]

Knowing nexon, those bastards will put an IP block to that pomegranate and let only Mexican/Canadian/US plays it.

[MariettaRC]

Meh.

Not interested. I might if people ask me to try it out with them but otherwise, I couldn't care less about it.
