DDO "Hands On" from GameSpy

Posted November 22nd, 2005 by Ethec

GameSpy rolls for initiative.
DDO is still in the "hands on" phase of previewing (followed by the "OMG roxxz0rz!" preview phase, which is followed by the "preview" preview phase... something like that), and GameSpy doesn't disappoint.

After all, what better genre than the massively multiplayer online role-playing game to bring the "role" back into what usually becomes merely an endless treadmill of players searching for the bigger, better magical doodad? Having been lost in the D&D Online beta for about three days now, I'm seriously impressed at how well Turbine is translating not just the mechanics, but the very "feel" of classic D&D gameplay to the MMO format.

No dice bag needed to view GameSpy's "hands on" preview of Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach.
