Tabula Rasa

Neeyik · 11-15-2007, 08:22 PM

Ultima's creator, Richard Garriott, returns to PC gaming once more but this time, waves goodbye to fantasy worlds and says hello to Sci Fi. MMORPGs based on such a theme aren't a new thing and neither is having FPS elements, so what does Tabula Rasa have to offer the MMO gamer, looking for a change?

If I am looking for something similar to Anarchy Online would this suit my needs or nae?

Anarchy Online has tons more content, and way more complex character classes & combat. I'd currently rate AO to be a better game than Tabula Rasa.

The theme is not that different, but gameplay is. Tabula Rasa is more fast-paced, guns blazing, piles of enemies, while AO is more of a traditional MMO with the combat and AO landscapes are just huge when compared to the fairly small zones of TR.

Ah well then apparently its not what I'm looking for!

I really liked the sci-fi atmosphere of AO and the detailed and complex leveling up system! Hopefully Funcom can make AO2!

I didnt read the review yet, but is this game free 2 play / item mall style ?

Subscription only.

Jarnis · 11-18-2007, 08:51 AM

Hmm, I must admit I forgot to mention that in the review. Oops. But yes, subscription only. About 15$/15e per month, first month is included in the price of the game.

Now see, I never rated Anarchy Online - just something about it never worked for me, yet I loved Tabula Rasa even if it is a bit shallower :)

I am in the same boat, couldn't really get into AO, just didn't do it for me, but i had tons of fun in the TR beta, thinking about maybe picking it up.
