Anyone else flip from being more interested in the game to now more in the show?

Before starting on the Defiance journey I was pretty hyped for the game and somewhat interested in the show. I figured it would be cool to see them intertwine but the story premise didn't seem that original or intriguing at first. However, having played the game since launch, and now having watched the first 2 episodes of the show - I could easily see me continuing to watch the show while dropping out of the game part of it. For me the game has been pretty disappointing, but the show has been surprisingly good. Anyone else feel similar?

I like the game even in its current form - it will only get better -, and the show is better than expected - it's actually quite good thus far. I'll continue with both.

I think the show has been good so far. Kind of hoping the game improves as the show moves along though.

I really loved the game but now burnt out.

I finally realized "where are the mods" and "I don't want to grind simpleton missions for rep to gamble for mods" and I am on PC... our chat system is crap.

i was expecting the show to be average at best. i dont usually watch syfy tv because to be honest i think its poo. with 1 or 2 shining stars. the show suprised me. i think its great and find myself looking more forward to this season.

the game....im over it. i was under the impression that we would get more content updated along with the show. 2 shows down, just a few bogus pursuits. the points people compare it to borderlands it looses. the loot/weapons suck with no difference in lvl/stats. sure it says 1-10,000 online for multiplayer but you can only play in groups of 4 unless you want to grind non challenging ark falls that give bad loot all day. the pvp is the biggest joke of all. trion, if your gonna have more than shadow wars for pvp. give us more than tdm and 2 maps, or just dont give us anything.

i dont think im gonna buy the dlc either. why do i need it for diff guns that will just have the same stats as the ones i have? or a new area with the same ol missions turning off generators. i had very high hopes for this game. dont get me wrong its worth a 1 time playthrough. but after that you are left wanting more. i will be trading it in, but the show will be on my watch list for a looong while

Yeah I feel very similar in a lot of ways.

Only because the game in its current state is even more shallow than the show.

Eh I'm kind of at 50-50 right now taking a break from the game certainly kindled my "passion" for it but playing it again then I feel like watching the show. So I guess I'm teetering back and forth depending on what I'm doing.

game is good for a casual player.

Personally I have nothing else to do in it by grinding achievements which imo should just come over time with new content

I feel same way, at first hardly had any interest in show and was hyped about the game, now I'm really enjoying show and playing game less. Buying dead island riptide tomorrow and going to play that until more content is released.
