Defiance episode 1 is up on Amazon Instant Video

[Daeion]

Any link for people from Europe?

Not so far. I've found it online but the quality is horrible... Blocks everywhere and 5 FPS.

Guess we'll have to wait untill some decent version pops up.

Yeah, same for me. Which basically means actually watching it on the official airdate.

My worst games

Singleplayer games
1.Command & Conquer Tiberian Twilight(I buy strategy game and uninstal some asian action shtako)
2.Dragon Age (i expected from Bioware something like Neverwinter Nights with toolset and multiplayer)
3.Gothic 3(bugs,bugs,bugs everywhere)
4.Neverwinter Nights 2(I expected NWN1 with better graphic but we get all fixed bugs again in new coat.)

Online games
1.SWTOR(no endgame,open PvP with 4FPS)
2. Star Trek Online(I spent 3 days in game and quit.)
3.Aion(I do not understand asian mentality.)
4.Rift(no endgame,absence of basic MMO systems like guild bank,horrible UI for healers)
5.Guild Wars(Absence of Tank/Healer/DPS mechanism.)
6.Defiance(Online game with 4day content? really? after 5 years of development?)

Why did you post this? This is completely off topic, not helpful in the slightest, and we all the you now

Have you even played Rift?
Rift has a great chat system, a guild bank as well as a personal bank as well as housing.
UI for healers is just fine, I healed raids with no problems.

Rift has at least 10 10-20 Man Raids, 14 Dungeons, 4 Chronicles(1-2 man story dungeons).

This isn't including all the Hunt Rift, Raid Rifts, Expert Rifts, Fishing, Survival...etc...

What are you smoking?

Post has zero credibility.

In case anybody is wondering, for those of us in the US at least, the pilot is still up on Amazon Prime Video.

*UPDATE*

It has been removed. Sorry folks.

Thanks!
Great episode. Without giving away any spoilers: The Episode missions are a prequel, if you dont' do them you wont even notice. Nolan is just a cool character, I really liked how the fleshed him out in the TV show. Irisa, i'm not so sure. I really liked her in the game episodes (all doom and gloom), on the TV she is kind of a snarky sidekick, but it is only the first episode.

What it doesn't do is explain the backstory. From the game I know there is a "alliance" (for lack of a better term) of aliens that came to earth the group is refered to as the Voltan, no real history about why they came to earth, or why they are an alliance, or why they needed to teraphorm the earth (since they all seem to be able to thrive in the current ecosystem). The show does reference some of the enemies from the game (the 99ers), but is more about the political/cultural stress between the "friendly" races.

Overall I would watch the show regardless of the video game tie-in, but it looks like the game and TV show are focused on two different things. the TV show a poli-cult drama (with action, cgi, and practical effects), and the game, which is combat focused (and since all the aliens are at relative peace, it has to be against enemies not (currently) in the show). Personally I would have made both during the end of the pale war, where the races are weary of fighting, so that the political themes of the TV show could match the combat aspirations of the game.

There's some sort of eBook primer on iTunes that's free to download. It has a lot of backstory on the alien races and everything.
