Convince me.

It is a MMO Third Person Shooter, it is not an FPS at all. So if you were expecting that despite seeing the IGN 1 Hour play through, sorry to disappoint. Also the 1 Hour IGN Play footage was on Xbox on a build that was pretty old compared to the current release state.



The game is driven by a main story line that while easier with a friend or friends it is something you can general solo. However there is Co-Op instances, PvP, and most likely a clan/guild driven community sprouting up already around the title. Also this game is unlike anything done to date as content will be driven by the Show that is linked to the game and the way they are doing missions and dynamic content is wholly different than almost any other MMO to date.

Also all the offical game trailers are most likely done on PC and generated from cut-scenes or events at various stages, but everything you see there is in the game. Note in the play through he was trying to show off the game and not really focusing on any social aspects.



This very by region and of course demographic, I could mention Destiny and no one would no what I was talking about. Sometimes word of mouth is slower in some parts. As for lack of hype, I'm okay with a lack of hype cause what I am seeing is a growing loyal community that makes a strong foundation for a title to thrive on, not just smoke and mirrors from an Ad agency.



Voice chat is enabled in the game, however depending on your platform you may experience varying degrees of quality. Any MMO with something that require tactical coordination will most like grow it's own method of communication. Shooting and text typing just aren't a good mix. As for CoD minded players those are everywhere you won't out run them.



As a Beta and Alpha player I can assure you with the open world and unlimited potential, this game is completely worth $60.

Thank you for writing this. I completely agree about the potential this game has and i do hope it will deliver.After trying the PS3 beta i must say i enjoyed it even though there were some issues which is undestandable for a beta.

OP, Burukos post should be more than enough to convince you if you haven't decided yet.

Don't feed the trolls people

And you just convinced me not to get the game. Thank you.

Good. Go play Simcity.

my situation on defiance was that i had honestly never heard of it before a guy on my friends list played the beta and told me about it. that was last week sometime. after watching streams and reading wiki's and forums, i was convinced that it is gonna be great. a nice change of pace from the mainstream big name games out on consoles right now. this game has got alot of potential to for future content so i dont get how anybody can say or accurately guess that its lifespan will be short.

in fact it looks so good/and played so well that the community is wasting its time on a guy that came here convinced not to buy it, that he should. i think your gonna miss out. saving $10-$15 bucks waiting for a sale a few months from now is kinda stupid to me. lol you go against what you say. by then surely this game that has such a short lifespan according to people like you wont be fun to play in a few months due to no population so why buy then either

how dare you.. HOW DARE YOU! compare Defiance to Planetside2... Planetside 2 and team play don't exist and the game is nothing but a big open mmofps with no depth, Defiance has a lot more in depth content then Planetside2 and by the way the game looks great don't know what potato you been streaming your vids on... MAY THE WRATH OF MY GUN SHATTER YOUR BODY ON THE BATTLEFIELD!

Meh, I played beta. It has staying power otherwise I would had not pre-order a copy. Nowadays, people wanna take advice from idiots and trolls. Use your head. Obvious, you're on the forums because it did peak your interest. A wise choice is to pre-order and play it. If it doesn't please you, well, take it back. If it does, thank Trion.

You can't take it back. It's a MMOFPS. YOu buy it, that's it, there is no "used" copies or the like. Can't return it on PC, PS3, or X360, or whatever.

As for the reason for my second post, it was because the above user, and users since, have set a tone of what kind of community this game attracts. You get either trolls or die-hard fans, there is no in between.

And for your information, all you "lolers", yes, I do realize it was a X360 build. What difference does that make? Graphics, so what? I'm not talking about those. I'm talking about core gameplay mechanics, and it said it was a week old build, at the time of the video. Still, a few months is hardly enough to drastically change the game to any reasonable degree and call it different.

tbh you caught some of the less lovely responses. You shouldn't judge an entire community based on random forum response to a question you posed with a little itty bit of condescension, intended or otherwise.

It's a tps, I think is fun. I'm a PC player and used to a heavily graphics intensive world, but with shooters and console platforms obviously I can see the need to streamline the graphics to enable better play. The graphics arn't as bad as I think you made it out to sound, and in beta the settings to asjust the graphics were very limited for us we couldnt adjust them.

MMO are ever evolving and community based games. What an MMO is today might be just the ameoba of what it iwll be in a 6 months, year etc etc. Only 10% of the MMO community is usually on the forums, if that. So not liking hte forums community is different than not liking the MMO community.
