I'm still looking at this game like i did Dragon's Dogma... yeah games are nothing a like what so ever but word of mouth had that game take off last year. Hopefully the same happens for Defiance!
No it won't be dead on arrival. The seems to be a lively community here.
For the masses, the reviews will be hugely important. A metacritic score of anything over 80 should bring in a lot of new players.
Good luck to Defiance!
May seem like a lively community, but split it up into 3 different platforms, take into account the random working/social hours and your MMO feels like an empty ghost town....Quote:

We can only watch and hope for the best.Quote:

Another good example of failure with lots of hype. Makes for a pretty infamous game....like Duke Nukem...Lets hope that this one goes on the way of Dark Souls. Success after release.Quote:

back on topic..
I really think that this game has a lot of potential and its up to everyone to hype it up who gets in at ground zero. Word of Mouth is still one of the best forms of advertising...plus if ya have a capture device and a twitch account or youtube blabbity blah blah and wanna take time to show the game off instead of playing it, you can generate some advertising that way as well..
I got a few extra beta keys for some buddies who are curious but unsure about the game. I wanna give them the codes so they can try the beta out without having to buy the game. Hopefully the beta test will be fun enough for them to consider buying the game. I have alotta faith in the game, but every little nudge helps.Quote:
