Some things manage to absolutely amaze me. Especially metagame. For example, Spore is entirely built around metagame. The entire Sims franchise, Sim City, Sim Ant, The Sims, etc. are all built around metagame. Metagaming has also gained a lot of popularity in MMOs, which only makes sense. No longer is the point to save Azeroth, but now it's to get rich through crafting, get fancy sets of armor, just to hang out and chat or try to add realism on roleplay servers. Guild Wars has titles as a form of metagame. You can just beat the campaign. But you can also instead strive for cartogropher titles by exploring all of the respected continent, collect minipets, etc.
What I stumbled upon for one of Lord of the Rings: Online's metagame content was pretty damn amazing. Playing instruments. Like lutes, flutes, and drums. You can battle the dastardly menaces of Middle Earth and then take a break and belt out a tune for some fellow players in a tavern. Who knows, maybe someone will join you?
nothing after the jump.
