They actually did that on mythbusters so I can vouch for this!

The ironic thing being, even though all those games seem to be free, I still have no desire to play them.

THIS is TRUTH!

ahh I C... THought you're talking about the Coca-cola as a polisher for aluminum.

I tried Vanguard awhile back, it lagged like Hell, and that was on the top of the line system. 

I doubt it's much better.

It's not. I couldn't stand playing it for more than twenty minutes. That, and after a short while, I became suspicious that this game was extremely similar to another MMO of SOE's. I think one of the EQs.

Tried Free Realms.... yay microtransactions, WoW graphics ripoff attempt, constant reminders to subscribe, awkward chat/censor system, and fk all to do if you're not interested in squealing as a merry child while frolicking in a field of flowers and bears and huggles.

I played Vanguard on the station pass ( got to lev 16) when it first came out and it was laggy and combat was not too bad but I liked mxo better so I cancelled account,  as for the other titles...  bah, i'm not going to even bother.

wohoo free free realms!

I enjoy it on occasion

 

As do I.  It doesn't have near enough depth to be my "main" game, but it's a great side game with all of the different activities and the relatively simple and mindless optional combat.  It is definitely not to everyone's taste though so I can fully understand those to whom it gave queasy stomachs and/or bleeding eyes.

Agreed.  It's not too bad.  It passes the time.  It's free.  Meanwhile, I patiently wait for the time when I can slaughter Jedi and their bleeding eyes.
