How will people take the game.

i think its the million $ question trion would love to know. if im to go from past experience of majority of the market, console players tend to get bored quick. they want the newer latest thing.

i think it will make a good strong start, but then when other games comes out like new BF, COD etc the market will drop alot more suddnely with few returning after there bored of that game.

doesnt mean i dont think it will last, there will be a good few remain, i would love for it to remain strong, but history teaches us other wise.

as for pc i can see that doing what most mmos do, remain steady with a decent player base for a good long while

Here's my thing at least.

I used to play Tabula Rasa, I play borderlands, I play numerous MMO's, but this game. This little idea they have come up with, fleshed up, and displayed before us, has had me more excited then I have been in about 3 years time. I couldnt tell you exactly what it was about the video's or the concepts of the game, or what was experienced in beta (NDA and all).

But I thankfully have a UE pre-ordered, and I have requested off 4 days from work to wake up, grab a mug of coffee, possibley have some chilled taco-bell that I bought in advance, and just go crazy in my own little world. :D

I will end up playing solo, and this game allows that. I can wake up in early mornings, crack open a window, get some coffee and grab my controller to relax from my crap job at wal-mart to enjoy technology rain. There's not many MMO's that will allow a solo player

Defiance has everything going for it and at the right time. As a console player and 10 years of Xbox, I know people are tired of the COD's and BF's. Borderlands 2 and The Walking Dead by TT were games of the year. Halo seems to be the only one that still is going strong but that game is supported not only by the community but by the devs. Players are hesitant to something new like Defiance but once it gets out and word of mouth, I believe it will remain strong. Nothing has come out like this before on the Xbox and that's what I'm telling people, be a part of it.

yea im sooooooo bored of modern shooters, its the same stuff recycled with a gimick thrown in. probly why im looking so forward to defiance. its fresh, and has something in it for most people

My gf got me black ops 2 with the season pass, and gives me hell for not playing it more often then I do.
I tried explaining that I play the zombies part, mostly cause I am not a "Competitive" type, i'm a "Cooperative" type.

I agree with this most people are getting bored with CoD and BF, this should remain with a strong player base for awhile.

All of the people who love mmo's will play this game alot, it was the same with PSU on xbox, still had a player base 3 years later.
As long as the servers are fine people will continue to play.

I wish we had more game developers like Trion, Gearbox that aren't afraid to break molds, create something different, and not play on the safe side all the time. It seems that everyone is focused on the easy money, instead of being creative and coming up with something different.

Dude I telling everyone I know and I have a guild of 50 people ready to roll and I have to allied guilds with about 20 and 20 people in them. We are all play on Xbox and we are going to have a ball I hope to see you xbox players there

It all depends on how much dedication is needed at the end of the game, but either way i'll prob play this game alot and no doubt my 1st day will be a marathon of non stop playing.
Sadly i've come to the point where im torn between gettting it on P.c or 360 1st, i will prob get it on both but im only going to buy CE once just need to decide on what platform out of the 2 mentioned will be 1st
