4story vs Otherland
4story
4story is an MMORPG that’s pretty much the epitome of a cookie-cutter MMORPG as in it does absolutely nothing to innovate in the genre but instead it takes all the core concepts of the genre and further refines them to an excessive degree to create a brilliant game that is extremely fun to play and has a great sense of progression as you go through it. The game also has a huge world for you to explore, a variety of quests to keep you grinding away for levels and loot, as well as great combat mechanics that may not be completely action-based, but is not a hack-and-clash either.In many ways, 4Story reminds me a lot of the older version of World of Warcraft, though it’s still not comparable to the latter however. That said, if this sounds just like an MMORPG you'd like to try, be sure to check it out!
Otherland
Otherland is a futuristic MMORPG that will definitely tax the very boundaries of your imagination! The game features some stunning and very diverse digital worlds that you can set off and explore to your heart’s content as well as a supposedly action-based combat system.That said, Otherland is something of an acquired taste-type of game we’d say. It can be quite hard to keep up with the game’s storyline if you have not read a word of the books or universe created by Tad Willaims which is what this game is based on. Although the graphics of the game is most certainly impressive to say the least and that the diverse worlds do keep players interested, the game’s gameplay may feel a bit lackluster due to the generic questing and frequent combat glitches.
If you are the sort of player who loves exploring new worlds or that you’re simply a huge fan of the book, Otherland is definitely a game you mustn’t miss. If not, it’s still worth it to give the game a shot, but to stay, well, that’s another matter and it's entirely up to you.
