Fastest Uninstalled F2P MMORPG After First Look Video

Typically, after creating First Look videos, live streams, or other site-based recordings, I tend to retain the featured games on my computer a little longer. Regardless of personal interest, they stay on my computer due to several reasons. It’s possible I’ll later catch a unique in-game element I’d like to record for another video or notice a F2P feature my children could enjoy. Additionally, I might need the game for an upcoming podcast or if another writer/host wishes to try it.

In other words, usually, they remain installed for some time.

Nevertheless, there is one F2P MMORPG that was so wretched—in my opinion—that I removed it before the First Look video fully loaded onto YouTube.

Truth be told, I knew before starting the video recording that this game wasn’t my cup of tea. It had a fantasy backdrop, quests, PvE, you name it, but I could sense the impending dislike. The major turn-off? It had an “auto hunting” feature.

This feature lets your character level up while you’re off doing literally anything but playing the game. While some games and players find it acceptable, auto-battlers have become a genre of their own.

This game, however, took it to an extreme level. Not only could you set your character to automatically farm experience, but even let it complete quests on its own. It gives the player complete freedom to ignore the entire “story” painstakingly put together by the developers. It baffled me as to why this would be permitted.

Then, I witnessed it firsthand while recording the video.

Oh, dear. V4 Global was unbearable. It seemed to mirror the “sexy girls” concept attempted by League of Angels while striving for recognition as a credible MMORPG. In both attempts, it fell flat. My in-game abilities were meaningless, I couldn’t read a single thing, the game’s characterisation was questionable, and the automated functionality was overly efficient.

Although the First Look video was approximately 12 minutes long, as I tried to do my job diligently, I quickly grew exasperated. The video took a sharp turn to humour and frustration, as the game truly deserved. Its animations appeared cheap, too, as though they’d been directly lifted from other games.

This was undoubtedly an inferior mobile game just reshaped for desktop gaming in a cash grab. It seemed heavily focused on selling erotic costumes to players. NEXON’s website for it just adds to this impression. Although some were tastefully designed.

While contemplating the game recently, I sought information about its current state. To my surprise, it’s still thriving! Its PC version shut down last year, but a version for mobile phones is still active with an ongoing event countdown. Not that it’s the worst mobile game available, but its success continues to surprise me.

Can I dub it as the worst MMO I’ve ever come across? Not quite, although I might revisit this question in the future. It, however, holds the record for the quickest uninstall moment for me. But I still savored creating the First Look video!

Have you rapidly uninstalled an MMORPG that simply didn’t match up to expectations? Or, maybe experienced one that couldn’t survive on your computer for a day?
