This game worth buying?

[VA1N]

Honestly, it's too early to tell. The game isn't bad, but it doesn't look...done. That's the best way I can describe it. I think they rushed to get this out in time for the season premiere which is later this month and as a result it suffered. Enemies are all the same for the first couple hours and the story isn't going anywhere fast.

With that said, I did have fun though. It's not worth 60 bucks, that's for sure. It should have been 39.99 because they have a shop attached to it. 40 bucks would have been a lot easier to stomach.

If you like online shooters and are ok with looking past a large amount of growing pains/bugs/issues then go for it. If not, avoid it until it's had a few months to simmer and see if it's still going strong.

I am with the OP. On the fence. Im trying to wrap my head around the fact that this isnt an MMO, persay, where I have quests, lvl cap, gear progression, and endgame raiding/activities. And I am trying to wrap my head around the fact that this isnt Call of Duty where I can sit on a perch and snipe away. I never played Borderlands or firefall. The closest game I can compare with this is mass effect 2 and 3.

While I am very much intrigued, I still have a few concerns:
1.The game population is spread thin across Xbox, PS3 and PC. Aside from the starter one or two zones, how many people are you running into in the mid to end level zones?

2.Simple 'quality of life' features such as personal bank or chat(I know Trion is aware) are missing at launch. Why there is no bank? I have no idea. That, oddly...is sort of a turn off. I dont know why it is such a big deal to me, it just seems like such a simple easy QoL improvement and trion is notorious for their QoL features. I played 1 or 2 hours of beta total, and my inventory was full. Telling me I need to salvage everything I dont want, or run to a merchant?

3.Things to do in 4 or 5 months? Lets say I reach max ego level, and I've done all my story, and I've completed most of the map missions, side missions, hotshots and all of that. What to do? Dungeons, PVP, run of the mill stuff? With Rift Trion was crazy famous for adding in more endgame stuff, more content systems to do like chronicles, instant adventures, etc. Do you think they will do the same here?

Still on the fence. Reading mixed reviews here in the forums. More negative than positive, unfortunately, compared to other recent launches like GW2 and Tera(who had their fair share of bugs and account issues, but there were more people instantly in love with the game). The fact that theres more of a mixed bag of opinion on the game this early compared to those other games at this point, worries me.

1. The game is multi platform not cross platform. You will only see other people on the same platform as you.

2. We made polls and suggestions for this in Alpha, we were ignored (it seems)

3. There is absolutely nothing to do, end game starts from the beginning, there is no progression other than different types of weapons and ego grid.

Really not trying to be a smartass but...A game has to have raids to be considered a mmo nowadays?

No. And I prefer that the new breed of MMO do not have raids, or guild content where you need to schedule crap with the guild. When GW2 introduced guild missions, I left. I dont want to schedule my life around a game anymore.

I dont need raids, but wondering what kind of crap theres to do after playing the game for 100-200 hours, or after reaching max ego and you have the loadout and gear you want.

Not saying I want to be rewarded for everything I do, but after running around the map for a few hundred hours killing mobs, doing the missions, hotshots, etc, Id want to mix it up and do something entirely different. I hear there are races or something. Elaborate on that? Things like THAT intrigue me a bit.

I want to buy this game, is it worth my 60 bucks?

In a word yes it is. Having a hoot of time. People are friendly for now, always the best time to get in a game.

Again not trying to be a smartass but...Want something to do.....Go play runescape...They have plenty of stuff for you to do.

Youre doing well giving this game's community a good reputation. I know youre not trying to be a smartass, but youre not contributing to the conversation. I love when people are on the fence about a game, and they ask people who play the game "What do you think? I have some concerns if you could answer and help put my mind at ease because I just dont know!"..people say "Hey go play another game" instead of trying to say "Well, the game is like this and like that, but isnt like this and I think it'll morph into this..and the devs have said this and that".

In a word, you are "unhelpful".

I've actually been contributing to the forum in a positive way. The response I was actually hoping to hear back was that you were wanting to continue giving the game a chance or something along those lines.

This doesn't really make sense. I'm playing this game because I want something to do but yet you're telling people to go somewhere else. So there is nothing to do in this game? Why play it then?
