the review wasnt bad. Anthony plays all the MMOs and expects certain thing to fall along those lines. i dont entirely agree with it but he makes valid points.
Reflexive Fire: Failure Drill
As much fun as I have had so far it is getting tedious....and the hacks keep rolling in. Why is nothing being done about hackers? I seriously watched a guy fly by me, while I was in a roller, while he was on foot speed hacking. Bugs keep piling up, quests are getting tiresome, Story is short(and over for now). Side missions are snoresvill, no one in their right mind enjoys all the retrieve missions...get your own crap people. Co-op is interesting but quickly fades, multiplayer is fun but only if you use certain weapons. Meh i'll keep killin crap in hopes it gets better, and if it dosent i will still watch the show....The show is actually awesome dispite what the critics say.
age of conan was pay to play remember that, this game has no sub fee, i feel this game is a solid 8 i would have been happy with anything over a 7 and yes that review will hurt sales lets be honest here if i tell my buddy about this game and he sees that review it would turn anyone away, if this review was before launch i would have passed this up in a heartbeat, i bought it but this game is great and easily got my moneys worth so i dont regret it at all.
It was beautiful for me. Don't get me wrong it wasn't a great game but it looked good. To be fair Conan did push the envelope for graphics in an mmo.
You mean like Defiance?How about the fact that even though there was massive amounts of content, there was no reason to do almost any of it?.
Im simply stating that in terms of a gaming whole, bioshock was cheaper and will last more in my memory than what this garbage has presented thus far. The only memorable thing if I walked away from this game would be utter frustration...not worth the price tag for this half baked mess. It should retail around £ 15
brink had no single player content - at all - and multiplayer was a laggy mess.
however (i worked at gamestop at the time) that company was quick to throw a lot of money at reviewers and gamestop managers alike to push that piece of crap.
age of conan tanked because all voice over stopped after tortage, which was a jarring change. it tanked because gear had zero stats on it. it tanked for a LOT of reasons. it had very little content at launch.
however today it has a ton of content. it has some of the best raiding content you can get in an mmorpg with the best class balance for it. the rise of teh godslayer expansion was fantastic and when they put in the destiny quest line they did a brilliant job with it. but this was all stuff that came WELL after launch.
just like star trek online. it was not ready when it launched. not by a long shot. not by any shot really. but go play it now - there is a lot to do although it's still tactical captains online imo.
