File This Under "Nobody Cares"

Asheron's Call 2: Legions released!

Should be popular among Turbine's legions of fans.


Turbine recently announced that Asheron's Call 2: Legions has shipped to stores in the U.S. and Europe. This will be the first title that Turbine will have funded, developed and published by themselves. Asheron's Call 2: Legions features over 100 quests, has two new playable races (Empyreans and the Drudge), and three new prestige classes in a game world that is 30% bigger.



Obviously, since no-one plays this game after its first year of constant skill resets and system-crashing game bugs, this goes under "Nobody Cares" in the file cabinet.

I mean, an expansion pack for a game that went a WHOLE YEAR before they could get the chat system to work? WHO CARES!?! Why even bother? You'd think that Turbine would want this game to just quietly fade away into obscurity so that they could start their next project.
I, for one, however, am never buying a Turbine game again if I know what I'm getting. Ever. AC2 was so very, very bad that there's no redemption from it. It was Derek Smart bad. It was - dare I say it - World War II Online bad.

However, Red Vs. Blue Season 3 is about to conclude - 2 more episodes - and Season 4 will release once they get the Season 3 DVD ready to sell. Woohoo!
