I'm pretty sure Defiance will be free with the PS+ in few months, and with it, it'll be overpopulated.
This is a perfect game for the PS+ interesting game for ps3 players + you can play it for months,
and $$$ for Trion with the dlc and the cash shop.
I'm us eastern time and usually on at off peak hours. I have yet to see it w/out a lot of people, and more often than not, at least one person from my friends list.
As much as I enjoy this game the population is bound to thin out due to the somewhat repetitive nature of the game. Casual gamers will suck it dry within a few days and then all that is left is sidequests and pursuits which only account for progression towards EGO which really doesnt mean that much. Once people realise this they either stay and grind those things out (and post patch story missions too) or stop playing until episodic content and dlc arrive.
Trion mean well and are trying really hard but without fanboy gogggles on (which I had for the first week) I can see that this gam offers very little in terms of longevity and will end up being a kind of cult game with a small hardcore following. I have faith that trion will come through with a lot of these issues and im willing to stick it out...but its already gone from being the only disc in my tray to filler in between games in less than 2 weeks.
Not sure what you mean when you say you see hardly anyone on. I see a lot of people on, even during the midnight to 3am hours. Between my friends list and my clan, I can usually find people to do just about anything with. Not to mention the quantity of other players I run across. Based on what I've been hearing and reading, PS3 has a higher population than the PC and is pretty close to the XBOX population. If you aren't seeing anyone, you are probably running story missions that are instanced or are questing in out of the way places. I'm sure you'll see the population as it is once the chats are fixed.
According to vgchartz it hasn't done as well on PS3 (their sales stats could be rubbish, for all I know). I love this game and wish more people would buy it!!
Last night (morning) at 2am EST, I believe I was the only person South of the Golden Gate. I had the pleasure of partaking in, and completing, a minor AF, entirely alone. Granted, it was just 3 waves of scrappers that I easily dispatched with the grill of a Challenger, but it was still pretty awesome being the sole citizen of San Francisco. LOL
