I dont get it... Defiance/MMO gets 5.5 | BioShock Infinate/Single player only 9.7

Can any of you actually see this game last tbh? Winter this year sees the new ps4 and xbox 720 and grand theft auto, which im sure might just have an mmo online element to it....plus its Rockstar a developer who isn't afraid to hold a game back in order to make a world class game its fans deserve

They did a good job on the Defiance review though. It's pretty spot on.

agreed, I would only give this around a 6 at most, until they add more or fix more it isnt going above that based on my experience with the game. And just to shoot the fanboys down before they rush in here raging, I do love the core of this game, its great, trion just didnt take advantage of what they have.

I'm sure many people have said it already, but reviews are SUBJECTIVE, therefore OPINIONATED. Play what you want and be happy with that. Don't let other people determine your decisions. Just my two cents.

What's not so subjective is a group of reviewers agreeing a game is lacking.

That's 13 people that professionally review games agreeing the game is half-baked. 56/100.

This is a game to play as a guilty pleasure, not to recommend to friends without a long list of reasons why they might not enjoy it.

Yeah but Defiance recycles the same mission so many, many times. It's very low quality. It's inferior to every game on your list even if it was completely bug free.

Kill this. Find that. Put it there. Press that button. Talk to that person, then come back and talk to me.

Basis of every quest ever written.

A defend the hill quest: Kill this. Now kill this. Now kill this. Now kill this. Come back and talk to me.

A gather materials quest: Kill this. Find that. Kill this. Find that. Kill this. Find that. Come back and talk to me.

A "story" quest: Talk to that person. Talk to that person. Talk to that person. Come back and talk to me. Talk to that person. Come back and talk to me. [Cutscene]

A detective quest: Find that. Find that. Find that. Put it there. Talk to this person. Talk to this person. Find that. Find that. Talk to this person. Come back and talk to me.

Could they have hidden their quest mechanics beneath story and fluff more than they have currently? Yes. Do people generally just click through such fluff? Yes.

Bioshock is good and Defiance isn't.

Glad I could help.

Couldn't stand Bioshock tbh, not my kind of game. Only reason I checked it out was because of the hype.

Love defiance. In my opinion it's much more complex. I like a persistent world with pvp. Especially now that shadow wars are workin a lot better.

But just my opinion, like all reviews are.

no, that's not how Halo Fanboys operate. They are severely threatened by any Xbox Multiplayer shooter than isn't Halo, so they desperately need to go out of their way to bash it. that's how it was with Battlefield, Call of Duty, and pretty much every other MP shooter on the Xbox 360 that I have seen.

instead of like....playing Halo and having fun.

Funny thing is Im not a Halo "Fan boy" nor a Fanboy of any game. Halo 4 is just better than this game. Doesnt take a genius to figure it out. And Im also not a troll...clown. Stating facts and speaking the truth isnt trolling clown.

Not to this level. Don't be obtuse. Defiance has some of the worst and most repetitive quest structure in the history of quests. The majority of quests even recycle the same sound bites. It's really bad.

I agree halo 4 was a far more enjoyable game than this half baked turd....

Also interesting to note the user score on Metacritic for Defiance is 7.5 - Rated by people who choose to play games because they want to, not because they get paid to.
