    Oh, good joke!

    Unless your serious? In which case you are dead wrong, they created massive amounts of story that put many other scifi shows to shame - cultural backgrounds, language evolution, technology, musical growth, resource production, etc. Many things that other shows simply do not touch from the beginning.

    Just because we've only seen a little bit of it does not mean that it does not exist.

    We are still talking about Defiance right???
    Careful, you might loose this fight, Anne Frankly why does everybody have to bring up the Nazis?

    As quoted by Justin CarMicheal

    That's the thing-- they have the right philosophy, but they implemented it so poorly players can't see it. So they ask for other genres to get copy/pasted over.

    As quoted by Schwa

    Drops=vendor trash.
    I only got a few items I kept, the rest were useless.

    And as for the Store System, sorry, you don't have enough Vendor Loyalty, so you can't buy anything from us.

    And that is why I ignore both systems!

    That's irrelevant. White is functionally the same as an orange. There is no epic tier only weapon. You can bet your *** there will be a white charge blade, a white charge rifle, a white charge shotgun, etc...

    IF they have that much back story, then it might as well not exist until the release it.

    They jumped right into the show with no explanation as to what is going on. The game is not Star Wars, with decades of back story to back it up. The show and game constantly refer to things like people are supposed to inherently know what they are talking about.

    Sure they MIGHT later on explain it, but until then it is like you are the outsider of an inside joke. There feels there is something missing from the story. It is like they do not think of explaining something until people point out that there is a history hole.

    Well I would hope so. It's near impossible to get oranges as it is.

    This may sound stupid, but have you been listening to the data recorders? That's how I knew what they were talking about with the massacre Nolan was involved in that got brought up on the show. There's been a lot of back story that comes out in bits and pieces from data recorders.

    Defiance isn't post apocalyptic.

    Oh I'd say it is, post apocalyptic fiction includes worlds that have suffered things like massive climate change, alien attack, etc. Defiance is definitely after such an event.

    Defiance is Dystopian, but not Post-Apocalyptic.

    We weren't knocked to the middle ages, technology is still progressing, commodities are still produced.

    Technically, not post-apocalyptic.
