Did you get what you paid for? $60, $100, $150?

Um. We were all given an extra week of boosts, if you were here at launch. Otherwise the UE comes with a mere 7 days of EXP, Scrip, and Loot boosts.

So I don't understand what you mean by comp'd, did you not receive them at all? If you did not receive them they should resolve this via in-game or live chat support. I've had all of my missing items and such eventually turn up especially since they've been able to resolve more and more bugs since launch.

As for what I paid:

$163 Ultimate Edition (w/ tax)
$287 Triton Warhead Headset for Xbox
$20 in Bits

So, $470 later and still having a blast! Completed the story, pushing EGO 700 have tons of pursuits, side missions, challenges left, and the Episode Missions being on a timer makes it interesting to really get in and get things done even with the numerous available distractions.

The show tie-ins have been great can't wait to see what they do as they move forward.

Unfortunately I don't think I have..not yet anyways. Don't get me wrong I LOVE defiance,

It just seems like this game was REALLY released half done like Everything about the game seems to have an aspect about it that is amazing..but seems unfinished in another..

Missions:
I don't feel like there is enough content in it. I mean yes it has a ton of pursuits and such but THe main story line went by WAY to fast, especially if you were playing through it with friends (they really should of had like a co-op story line that you needed to be in groups to activate IMO) I did enjoy the missions and some of them were actually a little tough there just seemed to not be enough of them.

The lack of main missions wouldn't of been so bad if the side missions weren't...well yea some of them were ridiculously quick and easy, some not even worth calling any kind of mission imo lol.

Co-Op is pretty legit as long as a decent amount comes through DLC I'll be happy, perhaps some different areas to go into..kinda tired of that bunker lol

Ark falls especially major ones, they are friggin AWESOME, but a tad too easy..I've noticed more hells bugs recently but I think we need more Nano bugs in major ark falls to bump up the difficulty. Also for the love of god make car damage NOT count on the leaderboard at the end of the arkfall lol. Anyways yea arkfalls As much as I love them..it got tiring doing the same thing..Hell give me a Mega nan hulker that busts out of the hellbug hive and starts whooping 60+players ***'s , throw a major raider arkfall in there with some mother loads guarding a huge crystal!!. There is alot that could of been done to expand on arkfalls..because really only have 2..well I'd say 2-1/2 kinds of major arkfall kind of gets repetitive


That kind leads me to my next thing..the amount of diff enemies it would seem to be they could of added at least more monster types to fight I mean if bugs mutated from the terraforming accident into hell bugs whos to say there isnt other creatures? I mean i know the game links with the show, but the tv show wouldn't have to show every mutated creature out there in the world?

Just imagine what just a few new unique roaming creatures could of done to spice up random encounters and such? Imagine being on your fourwheeler and BOOM a big *** wolf knocks your *** off of it and you see your surrounded by a pack of huge, fast wolves.

Weapons...I really feel the weapon drops need to be more varied..I mean I'd love to see the same guns have dif stats also..like say one AR is 444 damage, another one could drop have nothing extra on it and have maybe 475 with a slight bit less fire rate.

I know some things change around with some weapons but when you have players running with weapons that are 300+ below their ego rating because they haven't found a better gun that is like the one they got there may be an issue with the variety of weapons being dropped, at least semi random stats could of been a EASY fix for this ?

Vehicles..Please let the shops have more dif types of vehicles..or at least have ones with diff stats.maybe I want a SUPER fast 4 wheeler with barely any shields?? Perhaps a slower but more armored buggy? cmon now lol again mix it up!! make things more unique!

It may not sound like it but I do love this game..its just seems so half done, I mean if your not into time trials and such and going through and trying to complete every pursuit the game gets very repetitive pretty quickly...

Also...past those first "episode mission"s all we have gotten since the show came on are..pursuits...that dont really give ya good loot lol atleast give everybody who finishes those pursuits by a certain deadline a random (but good!) weapon or something! this was supposed to be a revolutionary type of thing where a tv show and a game link and possibly influence each other even if in small ways...and past those episode missions..nothing..I was REALLY excited about that aspect and feel VERY robbed on that one

Its almost like they were given a very short time to get the game made before the series came out and just couldn't really do anything but set a beast framework aid down and start building lol

Also for the love of god add in some in game info options to explain synergy mods, nano effects, and dame weapon stats (i still honestly dont know wtf charge damage is on a BMG)

also for the love of god let me see what damage my ALL my nano effects are doing!!!! I mean I can see fire damage, how much life does syphon drain?? is it just w/e my weapon does when it activates? or is it my weapon damage + a bonus amount. This type of info should be readily available in game.

I got what I payed for. Are there issues? Yes, but they are working on them. I think they need to slow down their cert process to catch these issues before releasing another patch.

If you play the game enough to bother going to it's site and create an account just to be able to post... YOU GOT YOUR MONEY'S WORTH!

Or the few that never even bought the game and just want to lurk or troll. As there is no account requirement for the forums.

Bought the game for xbox this morning, still not able to play. Would like to be able to play it someday.

$60, not even close to getting my moneys worth. I might get to play for 2 hours after putting my daughter to bed, and for the last week and a half it seems every time I've gone to play the servers have crashed 5 minutes beforehand (yes I know, beating a dead horse with a stick on the servers).

I've put enough time in and had enough fun to feel I got my $60 worth, and I'll most likely be buying the Season Pass once the DLC starts to hit. I've had few problems with the PS3 version.

If this was considered a single player platform game then maybe. As it stands this game was marketed as an MMO and it doesn't even come close to what I thought I would be getting for my money. In most MMOs I can expect a massive story and side missions that can take up hundreds of hours of my time if not more.

So far I completed the story and side missions in about 12-15 hours of gameplay and have nothing left that can hold my attention. As a comparison Borderlands took me about 20 hours to complete the story and side missions in it and was market as a single player game. I feel I got more entertaiment for my money with that game and it was market for single player.

Now I still hold hope for this game but I won't be playing it again for another 6-8 months and hope there will be enough content released to take more than 2-3 days to complete. If not it will go back on the shelf to collect dust.
