This is what I've told myself and other people who mentioned it. That was untill last week. Last week, while feeling frustrated with another MMO I have enjoyed for the last 10 years, I downloaded the F2P client.
I made my character an headed into the world. I immediately fell in love with the questing and the zones, And this surprised me seeing how I thought it would be "meh". On the  second day, I stopped halfway through my quest line, and activated my sub. I have enjoyed the last few day's immensely and look foreward to life at lvl cap. So now I sit and admit I was wrong. This is a great game with a wonderful world.

			Awesome!  Welcome aboard! I actually really like the artistic direction of wildstar. 	
----
			You caught me. Well played. Welcome to the family.Pro tip- never decide based on promo art, watch gameplay at least. :)

			Damn you OP, now what am I supposed to do with all of this salt?  >.>

			I felt that way to at first, mostly because wow left me with a very bad and bitter taste in my mouth compared to older mmorpgs im use to, I love cartoony single player games and such but when it comes to mmorpgs I prefer more immersive graphics but man this game surprised me in so many ways, I had no idea so much humor was in it, its immersive different ways then id seen in an mmorpg before. The animations are very entertaining in general.

			It's always felt kinda like Super Mario MMO to me. And that's a great thing.  :wub:

			W* has always given me a Jak & Daxter meets Ratchet & Clank feel with a spice of humor above the PG level. That might be one reason I enjoy the games aesthetic so much

Dr. Satan's chief complaint seems to be that he has to read. Very difficult prospect.
In regards to the OP, I had the same level of resistance to the style originally, but it does grow on you. It's very polished and for something so over the top and goofy the level of polish just really drives the zany fun home.

I forgot to mention this in my first response to this thread but where is this humor I've heard so much about? I mean next to "cartoon graphics" and "immersive combat system", "humor" is one of the points on the back of the box they say is worth (or was worth now) buying the game for.
It all seems very middle school to me except without the adult language... which at least would be funny hearing a *cupcake* or mother*cupcake*once and awhile.. I imagine the people who actually have audible laughter escaping them while playing Wildstar are the same people who laugh at Geico commercials..
 
I mean can someone link to me a video or describe a instance to me when they started laughing out loud? Did you laugh out loud after reading through pages and pages of quest conversations or did you start dieing from a funny cut scene?
 
I was hoping for a Lego Batman type chuckle at least once or twice but so far it's all very cringe worthy with heavy amounts of squinting wondering if these are the lines I'm suppose to be laughing at.
 
It's not so much a challenge but I really would like someone to post for once a memorable laugh out loud moment due to the game's writting or cinematic scenes. So far, everyone just keeps repeating it's funny without giving any examples or evidence.

You can give it to me.
I, in my humble opinion, feel quite dissapointed at how poor the graphics turned out to be.

			Never judge a book by its cover ;) unless it has too much fan service :rolleyes:.

			This game gave me nausea in the beginning - 50 degree fov and so much contrast was just too much. Then something wonderful happened: not only did Crabine (please!) add a FOV slider, but I also got used to the stark contrasts Wildstar sports. Also, the game hardly is about humor. Humor is, at least nowadays, a way to hide a certain depth regarding the story (looking at you, meh indie game number 9128): while Wildstar is comical, it still tries to tell an epic story, and in my humble opinion it does this very well.

I am glad to hear you have subbed and you are enjoying yourself.
 
If I were to give my opinion, I feel the game has improved considerably, but still has a long way to go, I do not feel at this time it deserves my sub, and I still find the graphics style ridiculous, escpecially considering the games poor performance engine wise.
 
It was an absolutely horrible game in beta IMO. It is now a good game. It is not great.....yet.

That is not my chief complaint. I suggest you take more time to read and fully understand my criticisms about the amount of game made spam. I really enjoy reading, when it is entertaining or helpful.
 
 
I don't think it's fair to say that because someone is "too young" then they won't "appreciate the humor in the game. I think a good quality in humor is it's ability to be cross-generational. What is the point in making a Teen rated game if the humor is only for older generations? That doesn't seem like a reasonable way to make a game.
I understand a viewer of the Twilight Zone may get some sort of enjoyment in seeing homage made to it in game but does that really antiquate to laughter?
 
 
You're in such a state of emotional turmoil with this game you shun yourself from any conflicting opinion? That doesn't seem very mature or intelligent to me.
 
 
I don't think it's fair to say the humor is just as good as MST3K just because they tribute it with a simple name of a memorable character from a popular episode.
 
 
Again I was asking for intelligent counter-opinions and so far you are the only one to not post a example (Zombie and Xorian were polite enough to back up their statements with examples). You simply state I can't understand the humor because I don't understand irony. Wouldn't it be more helpful and mature of you to post a example of the irony you are enjoying so much in the game?
 
 
Maybe I will tweak my graphics more and see if it helps thank you. I just was really surprised at what the game looks like even with the highest graphical settings.

			Overall I like it. But. I really feel that engineers are too cartoony (at least some animations). There are a lot of cool bad-ass weapons in this game, I really would like a class that uses them, soldier or smth, like all those granok around with guns... :rolleyes:

			Ive always felt the more a game tried to be "realistic" -the phonier it felt.

The humor and art design of the game is actually what drew me to the game in the first place.
 
I loved those flicks from the original launch.
