More like "If not being able to name your character what you want is going to measurably detract from your enjoyment, you should probably avoid this game because that will quite likely be an issue."
I did wind up buying it but you're oddly surly and defensive about a legitimate criticism. And, yes, each character I've made so far has had to settle for variants of their desired name because the original was taken.
Honestly, he can be as surly and defensive of the criticism as he wants to be... Its a legit complaint but not one you see most people write a game off with. And, honestly, I likely should have explained myself a bit better so I'll try that right now.
Your a business which needs money and your possible customers have are likely all suffering from the following (or at least some) of them. Limited time, limited funds, limited creativity, and/or limited attention spawn. You want someone playing your game not playing random name game because random name game isn't going to be the highlight of your game... but it surely can be one of frustration. It would be easy to shrug one's shoulders and close the game and never try it again.
Also, with it just being a demo and not wanting to use any good names I went with TempTest as my family name. Was a bit surprised that it was used but obviously others have thought along the same lines.
I haven't played many true MMOs (anyone who thinks The Division or the Marvel Heroes is an MMO has freaking lost it), I honestly think the only one I tried was Champions Online. It came out years ago and its naming convention is light years ahead of BDO. Yes, you have a username/family name and a character name but like I said the username only has to be unique to other players and the character name only has to be unique to that players other characters... Hell, the username isn't even shown on screen. (Besides yourself only your friends can see it.)
Sooooo...... Anyone, and EVERYONE, who wanted the experience the power fantasy of being an angry green (or any other colored) man punching his ways through the bad guy could and they could also name their character the Incredible Bulk so everyone could/would know who they where playing. (hulk, and really any other IP superheroes names where on the No list.)
Hell, you could even have multiple Incredible Bulk on the same street on the same server and the game wouldn't object. (Frankly, its pretty much the best naming system for a MMO where character's are locked to a sever.)
It leads to absolutely no disappointment when it comes to making a character... Yes, its a small detail but details are what game development really comes down to. Its what separated the great from the good. The good from the disappointing. The disappointing from the outright broken.
If Massive had been really into the details of their classless system then the game wouldn't have suffered from balance issues (which it still suffers from today), if they where really into the details of their engine then people wouldn't have been able to hide out of the map and kill people in the DZ, etc.
So when I see when I see a game that doesn't feature such a system a naming system when they know they will have 100s of thousands of players I can only think its because the developers aren't really focused on details and if thats a detail that escapes them... I can only question the detail they put into a combat system and game balance.
On to the actually game
Anyhow, even though I thought I had uninstalled it I gave it enough chance and it seems good enough... The opening cutscene runs crappier than the game itself so I was a bit worried that the great graphics wouldn't be on my machine. The controller support was better than some "partial support" but not perfect. Its certainly good enough to do combat with and save on some keystrokes. (I have carpel in my wrists, its not there most of the time but it can flair up at times.) I messed around to level 11 doing kill quests. I got far enough in that I figure I should either stop and not buy or stop and buy... As it was fun but I'm not sure I want to repeat it. (That stupid black cloud is rather annoying.)
So I think I'm going to buy the Steam version.
PS Oh since I tried the game now some poor angst filled teenager will no longer be able to play the game as JohnnyDeath. (Honestly, people on a trials shouldn't be taking sever space with names.)
