Borderlands wouldn't work in pvp. I'm 30 with 2 kids, work and don't have all day or weekend to play so I feel the game is very well balanced. There so much to do in the game there is no way you could do this game in a week unless you have no life and do nothing but play this and even then I don't think you could do it.
Don't forget the game only came out on the 2nd!! Give it a chance, if not got back to playing laggy cob with out of place hit boxs
Another TV wouldn't help me with this. She's made because I "don't spend enough time with her" and our son. I rarely play games before Mark goes to sleep during the week anymore and unless something new (like Defiance) comes out, I don't even game a whole lot in general.Quote:

The excitement that we used to see from the developers just isn't there anymore. I'm willing to bet Trion already has a bunch of content ready to go in Defiance to coincide with the tv show, but what will it look like in a year?
No not happy horrible game.
Love it. Nuff said!
Honestly I wish I hadn't bought Defiance. I play on Xbox and the gfx are sub par, the game play and frame rate/ lag issues are off putting and quite frankly the vast majority of console players are less than savoury characters!
I had purchased Defiance to fill the void that SWG had left in my gaming life. Alas due to lack of funds because of an expanding family the only platform I have that can run it is my Xbox.
I can only think Defiance would have been best staying a pc only mmo and keeping as far away from casual console players as possible. I understand the reasons its been bought to multi-platform but it just doesn't work.
Yep, happy I bought it. I enjoy playing and haven't run into any major issues. Glad they didn't go the vertical progression route!
Never been happier. I play a ton of different games, MMO's and genres and I have not been this excited about a game in a long time. I have had a ton of fun and I can't wait to find out what Trion has in store this season.

So do I regret my purchase? Yes, I do.
95% satisfied.
There are a couple bugs and glitches, to be sure, but I got what I was expecting when I bought it.
Except midgets. There are no midgets in Defiance's Earth. This needs to be fixed.
*DISCLAIMER: I am not terribly far in the game's storyline, if there ARE in fact midgets, and I have just not gotten far enough to witness them, then I retract this criticism, and my satisfaction raises to 99%
The riot shield Raiders are midgets if that's any consolation. I thought they were just crouching at first, but nope.
We have 99% satisfaction!
Can't ever be 100% satisfied, need Trion to stay hungry
I'm very happy with my purchase, liking it a lot so far.
You know i was just in Manila and my biggest regret is not going to see the midget boxing.Quote:

I like it so far, bought the season pass as well. Pretty much everything I expected from the game is there.
Major gripe is that voice chat is on by default, no push-to-talk and no option to turn off voice chat completely (you can turn off your own - if it doesn't bug - but you can't turn off listening to other people).
I hope they'll handle the PC version well in patches.
All the guys here complaining about their wives and children complaining about their gaming...
MMO's are not for family people. You choose between your family or the gaming. That doesn't mean you can't get laid by visiting the local bar, night club, etc... That simply means that by choosing an MMO as your choice of game, you are sacrificing the annoying whinge-bags that children and women are for the constant adrenaline rush of gaming.
That being said, I am asexual and I hate children, including despising the thought of what I was 15 years ago.
'Nuff said.
I am half half on this. I am happy I bought the game because its unique and fun to play with friends. Though I am kind of regretting that I bought a product filled with so many glitches still. Ie. bugged quest objectives, lag, disconnections and those things.
As an owner of both PC and XBOX 360 versions of the games; I'm sastified with what I have~ BUT, of course; the XBOX 360 has a lot of screen tearing and slow frame-rate (which can be patched), as well as bugs.
I'd say around 80 - 90% sastified sofar.
I am happy with my purchase although I do want to see the bugs fixed soon. I was hooked after the Beta events and I would rather have what I have now than not play the game at all. I am able to get on and spend a couple of hours playing before any issues so it isn't a really bad experience for me.

its all about balance, too much of one thing is, well, too much,, playing a game all day isn't 'cool' its sad actually
I love the game. I'm happy that I went pc instead of xbox. I'm enjoying myself immensely and 100% satisfied with the deluxe+season pass from steam.
I see your family, and raise you 1 child, and a cat.Quote:

Playing games all day is my life choice. My country: the UK allows it. It's sad yes but I love it. :D
But having children in an overpopulated world is not only selfish towards the other people in the world it's also sad as well in my opinion.
I came to the party just before launch and therefore had no expectations other than my clanmates discussing enjoying the beta.
With no hype to colour my perspective then I find it's a pretty solid action game with a decent story so far.
The combat is tough but enjoyable and the arkfalls are great fun.
There are some bugs but the devs are communicating what they're working on and having come from the Simcity launch debacle, that's a nice thing to see.
I happen to be a married to a Marine and we have two daughters. We all enjoy gaming, my youngest can even beat me and my husband's *** in just about everything. On the outside we are the "typical" family (two income household....husband, wife, two kids and pets) but we make it a point of enjoying life. I am also a huge football and MMA fan. Married with children doesn't mean dead!!!
Nice to see another female fan of mma and football! None of the chicks I know like either. Do you watch women's mma too? Invicta's putting on a ppv tomorrow that I'm really excited for!Quote:

Someone struck too out many times to count at the local bar/night club I guess.Quote:

I am a diehard Bears fan.Quote:

I've read mostly positive replies in this thread. Figured this would've been the perfect place to get it all off your chest. Hmm... And I like this game and my hellbug doll and the art book. It'll get there. Patience, grasshopper. Or maybe I'm just easily amused. *shrugs and walks off*Quote:

Back in the day when my wife would complain about my game time I'd say "Look Woman! This is my only hobby, my only vice. Would you rather I was out with the guys? or playing poker all night? Now **** and make me a sammich" Well..not the sammich part, but the first part. Seriously..a woman (or man to for that matter) that doesn't allow their spouse/sig other to do what they enjoy, they aren't worth having. Unless they make a mean sammich. Maybe then
