pretty much this exactly.. I enjoy it, its different and fun to mindlessly blow crap up and still.. the Olympic jumping is bleh.. might as well give me a jetpack..Originally Posted by Mylo
I'll play and get passed the 250 ego I was in Beta and give it a push to 500+ or so to see what it has to offer but it seems fairly shallow to even use the term 'MMO'
What do you mean no PC options?
You mentioned the main thing there m8. FUN. That's what I want in a game and that's what I'm getting out of this game...
I think so far it's been a pretty decent game IMHO. I have had quite a bit of fun playing so far, and I think once the majority of the issues are ironed out things will be a lot better. At least the company is listening to the player base cause they implemented the ammo caches at the arkfall sites! It's gonna interesting to see what's next, and if I had to do it all over again I would still buy the game in a heartbeat.
Honestly, I am debating this point right now. Normally I am not quick to dump on a game or regret my purchase, but this time... I don't know.
There is a coolness factor to Defiance, but I am feeling like it should be in a far better state than it is currently.
- As I have said in other topics, I am shocked at how ill balanced the weaponry is. The vast majority of guns are simply ineffective.
- I do 'solo' missions where I am suddenly swarmed and gunned down by 10 raiders (I counted!), with no chance of survival.
- I do major arkfall events, and although it takes 50+ people to complete this event, I don't really see any rewards. You would think a gigantic raid boss would drop a blue weapon or something, right?
- Possibly the worst menu system in any videogame ever.
- And we cannot overlook the 'robust' voice chat settings this game offers.
I am sorry, but how is this even remotely Launch ready? I just got this game a day ago. I should be hyped up about it and excited to log in and play some more. But it's actually making me want to go play something else.
The only reason I still have some faith is that I have seen how active Trion is with patches, back in Rift. They are the most active MMO developers I have ever seen. So on that, I am willing to keep the faith for a while, but Trion really needs to get on the ball here and do a LOT of fixing, really fast.
I was a little frustrated at first because I didn't get my pre-order items and the game crashes if I try to go to the settings screen, but after playing the game for a while last night, it was worth the trouble. I had a blast. These bugs will get ironed out and the show will start soon. Its only going to get better from here.
I am absolutely happy I bought it.
It`s exactly what I expected after watching a few vids on it.
I wanted to play a PC MMO with a controller, which works perfectly fine, probably a first in the genre.
The shooting works as fine as any single player 3rd person game, which is almost new for a MMOish game as well.
Dynamic events have been my favourite genre improvement the last years, having that mixed with shooter gameplay is nice.
Personally I don`t even mind the much critizised chat...I want to play the game and randomly cooperate with other players, grouping and socializing isn`t what i was looking for here.
Most importantly, I had fun on my day 1 session, and that`s all I want from a game.
I totally regret purchasing the game...but not because of the game.
My wife's been really pissy about my gaming lately and I have not even had the chance to play it yet (did play 360 beta though). Hell, she got pissy with me last night because I threw it in and started installing/patching before we started watching TV. It took me like 5 minutes TOPS to finish that and let it sit while we watched TV. Really? You're going to ***** about that!?

Im totally happy, Im kind of cautious about season pass though, but Im prety sure Trion World does not disappoint me, after 5 DLC theres plenty of content, all those who've played Rift knows how they do things. Im dreaming something like they triple the landmass etc.
So far I really enjoy playing the game.
