Damn that 'busywork'. And I agree about stories in tutorials. Either do story, but make it meaningful and linked in some way to what comes later, or, just keep it to game mechanics. Enjoying the series, Pete

Really well articulated video man. Nice to see the view of someone who isn't biase because of other previously played games/mmorpgs Keep up the good content

This is Runescape with its soul torn out, that's why Oldschool exists.

Just a note Pete. If you do play both versions, down the line if you ever buy membership, you get membership for both versions if they share the same account. So you can try membership in both versions for one purchase.

Get it Pete!!

Great video, you earned sub. Would advise recording in fullscreen mode

RS3 definitely has a steep learning curve and it's easy to get overwhelmed, but if you can get through that then it's a good game with a lot to do. That said, I would be interested to see you give Star Wars: The Old Republic a try.

good video, would love to see your opinion on GW2, its an MMO that was made for people who dont like MMO's. or atleast that was the developers goal in GW1 and i assume it was the same one for GW2

Glad to hear you like OSRS! RS3 looks... interesting, I tried it some and it seemed neat, but it was a lot for me to try at once. But I'll always stay faithful to OSRS :)

as an osrs and rs 3 max player i enjoyed more the way through skilling in osrs and feels better when u get a 99, but endgame its not even close to rs3 sadly

I know i said this on the osrs vid lol but you could also try Star Wars Galaxies. There are 2 servers out ATM that are worth playing, Finalizer or Legends

Rs3 is so janky man. In my opinion best experienced as an ironman even for new players as this limits your exposure to the ingame purchases. BTW for the the ore box you just click the box itself once when your inventory is full. osrs has some genuinely impactful stories within its quests and im assuming rs3 does too. Its certainly more visually impressive at times though there are really old janky cinematics littered throughout the game that really take you out of it. The runescape 3 dev team would probably get alot out of watching this video tbh as you've really highlighted the frustrating parts of its tutorials.

This game definitely does not teach thing as well as OS yeah but I do enjoy it too. If you want MMO suggestions and have played Pokemon I know of a bunch of fun fan MMOs! PokeMMO sticks close to the originals but with some MMO elements mixed in and more challenging story and events PokeOne has up to 3 player co-op for the whole game, 3D graphics, tons of custom systems and some new NPCs/Dialogue Pokemon MMO 3D is made in unreal engine so has fancy graphics, is open world, has more traditional real time MMO combat instead of turn based

Dang first time i played runescape was 2002.

RS3 playthrough when??

Do try Final Fanatsy 14 Online! It's the only MMO I like more than OSRS.

Great video as always. Seems osrs is better then then remake

Hey Pete! If you are looking to gain knowledge and a fun group of friends. Just hmu! Osrs-Bardownfrost

Idgaf what anyone in the comments has already said, but A Friend made an account years ago that got banned when the rest of his accounts did and that account was the fastest account to max going by ingame time and it was done entirely through the treasure hunter p2w minigame. That fact something like that is possible is just ridiculous and detracts from the game as a whole.

This is why I'm fat

Yeah, the (very) handholdy janky tutorial might be the worst part of the game, sadly. Kinda hate how the toolbelt is so badly explained in the tutorial (why you don't need tools) The mining and smithing was changed because the osrs way is just terrible and useless for most of the levels. I agree that ironman mode is much much better than main account in this version. Lumbridge will come soon. Examine the corpse! The heating might be slightly less satisfying for early game, but is much much much better for how smithing works later Ore box: if you add it to an ability bar it doesn't interrupt you, and you really only click once every 27 ore. In osrs, to train mining, you mine iron (1 click per iron) and drop it (another click or 2) rinse and repeat, from level 15 to 99. Oh god, the combat tutorial... it's so bad and does not show how good it can become, at all. The game starts to get going (imo) after you start doing some quests (especially rune mysteries, or diamond in the rough) So yeah, you're almost through the worst parts of the game. (Btw, you can disable guide mode, removing the handholdy crappy tutorials, by going through the very... in depth settings --> interfaces --> information windows --> guidance system hints) Another thing the game does badly is the mixing of the story. In the early game, you can see stuff that is only there because of very late events and should not be possible. You can reduce this (if you care) by ordering quests in timeline order.

A few of the things in this video left me feeling like you were being unfair towards the game though I'll just write it off as you not actually having any experience with the game. Also, yeah the tutorial sucks. It's been the same tutorial since like 2015 that you did so it's really outdated. As for story RS3 blows oldschool out of the water by leagues but it takes a little bit of exploring to get there. Also the combat system you are using is revolution, its pretty much a crutch for new players. You can switch to manual, and that makes the combat much more customizable and fun.

MORE OSRS

The game is fun until you get to late game bossing, switches and stuff just makes it so anti new player or even old player that doesnt play as much

tldr, osrs is way better
