Continent of the Ninth

looks interesting, but so did Vindictus and Dragon Nest, and they both turned out pretty boring to me. there was that other game, Blade and Soul or something? I remember having a positive reception of what I saw of it, but otherwise the whole new action-MMO genre needs tweaking. the combat of all three games i've mentioned, as well as C9, looks good, and I would say that C9 looks like the most fun as far as just combat, but it's just hard for me to get into them. yeah, they're unique, they're online action-RPGs, but I don't like the trade-off that's being made for solid action controls for online components. the thing that's going to get me to play a game like this is something that satisfies the gamer in me that enjoyed Devil May Cry and God of War and Bayonetta. heavier RPG elements isn't enough for me to bear watered-down action.
