So Much Potential...

Game: Furcadia

This game has the potential to be great, but it fails at this terribly. For a game with so much "imagination" it sure lacks a good way to use it. The graphics are dismal, and the avatars and portraits are worse. To get a better-looking avatar or portrait you have to pay real money! You'd think with all the people doing this, the people in charge of this game would MAKE IT BETTER! Sure you think the idea of your own customizable dream would be cool, but don't be fooled - it is hard to understand and accomplish building a truly awesome dream. It takes a long time and a lot of brain power. When building a unique dream you need to download patches, things that go into your dream. Every patch site I've been to is NOT ORGANIZED. You go there and you can't find looking for because everything is just thrown in there randomly! Sort of like the game itself. It has no organization whatsoever (except for the fact that the x-rated part of the game is apart from the rest of everything) Ontop of not living up to its potential in graphics, imagination, and innovation, the Furcadia community itself is terrible. Every single person I encountered there was arrogant and rude. (and I was on there for awhile - more than a month, at least) I don't know WHY the community was so arrogant! Every other online game I've played the community was decent and somewhat helpful, but here the people are just downright rapped up in themselves. Don't be surprised if you go on there and get ignored or taunted! I don't know how the cliques on there were formed, but they certainly don't let new members in - not willingly! It is a very addicting game, two of my friends (in real life) are absolutley addicted to this game, and I have no idea why! One of my friends especially spends almost every waking moment on there talking to his friends and doing all the little games (which by the way, all become the same after awhile - like the sound effects and music) which surprised me because his *so-called* best friends on there were some of the most arrogant I came across! And since he's such an "expert" on this game (an elite all-hailed master of the game, or whatever) he's always going on about how they're never going to change the graphics and how SO many people like it that way and how it's been proven and blah blah blah... I've read reviews of Furcadia on every game site I've been too, and usually more than half are negative. I'm sorry, but this game just has so much potential that's wasted. It can be dangerously addicting, especially if you're into cyber-sex (the x-rated portion of Furcadia, where most of the players seem to gather). So my advice is don't waste your time - you'll most likely be let down.
