Defiance show connectivity with the game

[Scath]

Well since you can't seem to grasp the logic that there has only been one episode and also the game hasn't even been out for a full 3 weeks, I'm just gonna leave this topic with this:
Okay jassu, I love you bye bye!!

I just don't get why people are complaining about the connectivity between the show and game already...there has only been one freaking episode!

See having killed skitterlings as a player we all know how dangerous and over all havoc causing hell of a bug(haha) they are I wouldn't want to see one face to face unarmed or even with a handgun without expecting some sort of injury or damage

And yet the whole reason defiance the city/town was saved is because Nolan and irisa stole that artifact FROM the player yet theirs no real tip of the hat I would of even been happy with a rough "thanks to that one ark hunter" ONE line of dialogue would have been nice

In the history of the English language, the internet has been the greatest blow against it.

Sigh.

Pretty much all of the inter-connectivity that I've noticed has been pretty much incidental. Which is to be expected, really, for an initial release of a game and a series premier.

From what I've noticed there's;

- Most of the races are present in both TV and game
- Varus is mentioned in the TV show
- The 99ers are mentioned in the TV show
- There's one Bioman in the TV show
- Nolan & Irissa are present (duh lol)
- Nolan is using a Wolfhound pistol
- The Lawmen are using Frontier bolt-actions in their first scene

As you can see, there really isn't a LOT of "OMG I totally notice that!!!" cross-references (which, again, is to be expected for initial release for both game and show), but they're there. They're in the details.

Alrighty so I've been threw few mmos's in my time aswell as sifi shows n defiance(as a whole) is not something I can sum up in one breath

Tv show/game as one - I can see where the show and game take place roughly within the same "world" but I saw very few connections as a player of the game and from what I understood from trion was that the show and the game would make u feel involved like YOU would make a difference and it would roughly appear as small cameos in the show I was honestly expecting a small bit of dialogue such as "oh yeah that one ark hunter we ran into who helped us out" or something leaving the player/watcher (having played the game) "ecstatic with that's was me!!!!!" All I honestly seemed to notice was a SMALL reference to that crystal the votan bikers stole in wich Nolan says "you don't know what I had to do to get that" I mean eh even in the first 10 min of the show the ark fall looks nothing like it does in the game it doesn't feel the same the loot drop is no where near the same, the sense of "ark hunting" feels NOTHING like it did in the game heck even alien animal species that were seen never even show up in the game as a abid player of the game having played it I feel no real sense of connectivity towards the show besides hearing some one say "shtako" every 5min I'm hoping for more connectivity in defiances future this game and show could go places it's up to trion n syfy to lead it there.

The creatures they run into in the show are actually referenced in one of the audio logs in the game IIRC. They are called something wolves. Otherwise, the whole reason Nolan crossed the Great Divide to end up in Defiance is because he had Varus on his ***, the whole reason he could activate the tech that saved them in the show was because we helped him get the crystal in the first place too. The Arkfalls are different yes, but the game is in early development and that was a notably rare Arkfall in the show (hence why the loot was so valuable) and Nolan happened to be one of the closest parties to it so he beat all the other scavengers except the Spirit Riders which seem somewhere between raider and ark hunter. There will be more connectivity and second season we'll even be able to impact the show itself through our actions instead of just playing through a prepared story. I expect Hellbugs will make an appearance at the very least since everything runs on their petrahol.

Cell phone telephone texting.

I would have to disagree. A lot of it originally stemmed from AOL Instant Messenger and other internet based chat systems in the 1990s, which were in wider use before it all filtered and expanded over to cell phones. Cell phone texting wasn't even in common public usage back then. Christ, those that could text back then were still paying per text and per talk minute. You didn't have plans like you do now.

But the internet instant chat systems were already using the butchered language that is everywhere nowadays.

Other than Ark Falls and some boring NPC's the TV series and the game have nothing in common at all. Where is the Volge? WTF dark matter? What alien races other than the robo borg pale bald things? TV show is far more interesting and fleshed out than the barren Defiance game world we have right now. There aren't even populated towns in the game for example. You'll maybe come across some lawn chairs and a dumpster that sells guns.

^^^^^^ exactly!!! The way trion described the game it was exactly the same as the show except u chose your path as an ark hunter arkhunting in the game is a waste of time for me yet isent that what the whole show is about
