Do you guys think this game is better than maple story 1?

[Uncle Jon]

Also do you guys think this game will die in a few months?

Better? I never played the recent version of the first game: I played more like 10 years ago lol.

Many things don't look much different.. it's just.. in 3D... But enemies are a lot the same, cities aswell... classes aswell... I mean... the story is different.. not sure if it's a good one cuz i'm not done with it... but so far it sounds more ordinary than anything else.. and well. it's grind fest again... and indeed, they monetize everything they can (without making the game P2W though but they monetize alot of crap that's for sure lol).

I guess it'll keep me entertained a few dozens of hours but I dont think i'm going to spend hundred of hours like i did on the first game. It's probably too much the same and the fact it's in 3D is not changing much the mood of the game... you just feel like playing Maple Story 1 from a different camera view...

MapleStory and Maplestory 2 are very different, both shares the same brand and lore, but they are unique in different ways. We have seen players loving both of the games, and I hope you can try MapleStory 2 as well. :)

Maplestory 1 is way too grindy for me. I only enjoyed playing it back then was because my then gf liked it and it was fun playing it with her.

So far Maplestory 2 doesn't seem even nearly as grindy as the first one, but I hope it remains so even on later levels (since I'm way too low level still).

Story wise I don't remember the first game's, but this one doesn't have a very interesting one IMO.
I tried to pay attention to it during the CBT and quickly got bored of it. Now I just pretty much skip through most of it.

i think its a fun game with a more Casual MMORPG focus to it. i think it will last.

sure a lot of people are going to whine that the game is "Too Easy," but thats not a bad thing.
and as someone who played a lot of MS1, the grind in this is a much better. after a certain point in MS1, you would find yourself just mindlessly farming only a few areas for several hours, only to then move on to the next one after you get enough levels. not the case in MS2

I dig the look of MPS 1 more

I've never played Maple 1 but I feel Maple 2 is so cool! vibrant and fun. Reminds me of a lot of other games mixed and even an old one like gaia online xD

The thing I love about it is how whacky it is and all the classes have different stories :3

So far I find it to be alright, but I perfer the first game due to the gameplay style of being side scrolling and the ammount of classes. But the one thing I do like about he second game as it's isn't grindy like the first.

I do like the 3Dish style it has going for it, I just wish it wasn't blockly like minecraft or those lego games.

The only true problem that I have with the game, is the aiming while firing the minigun, its chunky, and the fact you can't move while firing aside from using the jetpack skill.

I do hope that classes from the first game, make there way into the second, as I don't see my self playing the rest of the current classes as only the heavy gunner looked ineresting to me.

I think the things that did make MS1 work, were not a feature in MS2. They went with a completely different direction, and I didn't care for it.
I liked how in MS1, you start off as a no-class. You run about the beginner zone, explore a bit, and then get launched off to the big world. You want to be a warrior, magician, thief? Gotta go find the right city, then. Exploration was a major focus for me in that game, even to the point I accidently soft-locked myself within Orbis, El-nath, after I went brute-forced my way down the tower, and got stuck at the snowy grounds without a way to turn back, due to my low level. I eventually got back up after finding someone who'd give me a scroll back to Orbis.

That was my sort of experience playing MS1, as a kid. As an adult, I doubt that I'd be so whimsical and generous with my time, but being forced to go down such a precise quest line, and making mob-hunting seemingly pointless, was baffling to me. There's no reason to explore or go anywhere, when you practically start with everything you need, and when the game tells you: "You just need to click "okay" and go where the marker tells you."
