Pokemon Go vs Ultima Online
Pokemon Go
Pokemon Go is one of the world's first and most popular augmented reality game where players embark on their own personal pokemon trainer journeys in the real world (respectively) in hopes of being able to "catch 'em all". Utilizing the devices' GPS, the app will track your movement and allow you to, when within close enough proximity, detect wild Pokemon which you can then attempt to catch, or open up pokestops and gyms so you can collect items from. Players are split up into 3 teams, Mystic, Valor and Instinct, and they are often pitted against one another over the control of the Pokemon gyms around their area.In addition to legendaries appearing in the world, the game has also rather recently released exciting raids which will force you to group up to and battle boss Pokemon which has extremely high Combat Power (CP). Niantic, the developers of the game, has even organized massive Pokemon Go events throughout the world, sometimes even allowing players to remotely join in the fun.
Pokemon Go has revolutionized the gaming industry by superimposing digital Pokemon in the real world via the cameras on mobile devices, as well as popularized the use of global positioning to track a player's movement in the real world. Even until today (after the hype has apparently died down), the game is still widely played by millions all over the world. So, if you haven't already, you should definitely try this game out. This is also a no brainer if you happen to be a massive fan of Pokemon and its games.
Ultima Online
Ultima Online is one of the most legendary MMORPGs of all time. In fact, if you were to trace the entire MMORPG genre back to a single game, then you’d probably end up at Ultima Online. Being one of the longest running MMOs has its fair share of perks - a ton of updates to keep the gameplay fresh as well as a solid and loyal player base, and of course, downsides... there is only so much of the game they can update and graphics is, unfortunately, not one of them. That's actually great in some way since the game still retains its classic looks and charm.Ultima Online is a massive game and as you might expect, you can spend years in the game and still be pleasantly surprised to discover new parts of the game that you may not have known before. Aside from exploring the land, you can even set sail on your very own ship and make your mark at the seas as well. Character building is equally as impressive here mainly because you are free to mix and match over 50 different skills to come up with a build you feel comfortable with. However, if you're looking for a casual PvP experience, you won't find it here since your stuff can be looted by your opponent if you were defeated in combat.
As amazing as it is, Ultima Online is not a free-to-play game. That said, the game does offer a 14-day trial for players who would like to try the game out and who knows? You might just end up paying for the game for the sake of being able to fully experience the "founder" of modern-day MMOs.
