you wont like defiance if...

[Khufu]

1. you are a pc gamer that is spoiled by the mmo standard.
2. you are a graphics ***** who needs to play glossy games
3. you dont enjoy third person shooter mechanics.
4. you cant or wont tolerate bugs within the first month of a mmo's release.
5. you dont like mmos.

i play on ps3 and this is the first mmo i have ever gotten into... so the experience is fresh for me... i really have nothing to compare it to. the only thing that matters is i'm having fun.
if you guys have more reasons people wouldn't like defiance please feel free to list them below.

How would you have any clue seeing as this is your first MMO? Rather presumptuous of you I'd say.

You will not like this game if.

1. you expect to get the items your told you will get with your codes from UE's or CE's.
2. expect their to be support for the game and when you have a problem or issue that it will get resolved.( other then trion ignoring you for days then closing your ticket saying the problem is resolved while they did nothing about it)
3. expect to play with your friends (unless their all in the same region)
4. expect to talk with your friends over the MIC ( their still broke)
5. got this thinking MMO lots of people to play with and socially interact with, only 4 man groups, mic's don't work, region locked, and very small numbers of people to play with to begin with ( game did not sell well at all for a reason) makes this more of a solo game for you not by choice or option just for all the above reasons.
6. your not a blind , rabid, fanboy of trion and all their products.
7. you read the reviews.
8. you did not get this as a gamefly copy or used gamestop copy you can return
9. you value the money you spend and do not buy every game that comes out.
10 your expecting a triple A blockbuster title game from a major company with few flaws, like a COD,WOW,BF3
11. don't like playing games with a bunch of cheaters and hackers
12. don't like bug's and glitch's
13 don't get drunk or high while playing or to play a game ( I have been told it helps greatly doing this and makes this game tolerable to enjoyable)or like making drinking games to play while playing this.
14.enjoy spending several hours a day making phone calls, sending E-mails, going into a chat to get your money back after you bought this game.
15.enjoy co-op
16.enjoy PVP
17. think theirs a graphic's card in your system to make the things on your screen look good and not to just take a slot up in your machine just to say you have one, your looking for skyrim or at least something that uses some of the video card keep on moving along to another game.
18. expect patches and content updates, this game will make waiting on the skyrim DLC's look like they where out the next day after the game released.
19. expect to not have to call sony and deal with trion over this game in the future I will bet that their will be all kinds of problems when the first DLC is released and that PS3 will wait for weeks or months for it while PC and XBOX have theirs just look at this patch problem.
20. their are any other games you could possible think you might want to play or buy dead island 2, the last of us, bioshock infinite, I would go so far as say games off the PSN.
21. do not like games with item malls after you already paid for the game.
22. expect a game to run smooth and not be lagy as all hell if your on quality internet.
23 expect quests and such to actually work.
24 look for a reward equal to what your doing or time put in basically if you played a MMO and expect to get or find good drops from farming or a boss battle your not going to, best items only come in lock box's and the way their going their going to make you eventually pay with real life money to get a chance to get those.
25. expect a lot of content from this game think more like less then 24 hours of story and quest then a huge grind for achievements and of course no good loot while you grind away doing the same things over and over again.
26. you don't fully get why their are ultimate editions for this game still able to be bought at gamestop when games like borderlands 2 ultimate loot chest and the last of us gamestop editions sold out within hours.
27. you don't want to say to yourself well thats time of my life I will never get back after you play the game.
28. you do not think the trion format is the way to make a good game, put out broken incomplete product ignore the community, allow hacking and cheating to continue, try to fix cheaters and hackers with nerf after nerf or get the community so mad and concentrated on all the nerf's your putting in that they forget about all the broken stuff in the game and trions lack of trying to fix it ( also know as the EA claim to fame as the worst company in the US 2nd year running nice to see trion making a attempt to give them some compitition.)
29. you do not think it would be fun to debate which things would be worse or more brutal like having to watch GLEE with your GF or go rent parental guidence and watch it with her, or play defiance and saying to yourself well glee is only a hour and how bad can that movie be and it's only like a hour and a half long.

Thats about all I got for now.

For some troll who hates this game, your 100+ posts and rather constant activity say otherwise.
If you do dislike it so much, quit buzzing around the forum. Delete the bookmark, return or burn the game.

Reading the title, I was kind of hoping that this thread was full of jokes.

[ewen1972]

I just think it is fun as hell, regardless of the warts. The world has a really cool vibe and it feels great to explore and get side tracked, while seeing others running around doing the same. Just beat Dark Arisen, so I'm ready to really dive in.

How is dark arisen? I loved DD

Is it normal that we HAVE to tolerate bugs for the first month(s)? Who made this a rule. Why can't we just have a solid game starting at launch.

I've never played a new game that didnt have issues within the first month of it's launch, its a normal thing

You will not like this game if.


Thats about all I got for now.

Lol i agree this game isn't prefect. But you lost me when you started talking good about cod. Call of duty is always riddled with bugs and glitches. Not to mention hackers are in all but the newest call of duty. But there aren't hackers on this for consoles. At least that i have seen.

I do admit call of duty sells good. But they aren't a very good game title. And i don't see them lasting more then 3 or 4 more years. People are getting burnt out on call of duty. They need to add more things to multiplayer. And to me the only ones putting effort into the call of duty title is trey arc. They are always coming out with decent ideals for multiplayer.

And well for battlefield 3 i don't have much to say about it. Other then it takes to long to unlock stuff and level up. The levels though for multiplayer are simply amazing. But i feel that game even had some bugs at launch.

To me tho comparing this game to games such as battlefield and call of duty are inaccurate. So you should compare it to games of same genre. Also to me to give a review about a game. You need to point out the goods and bads. But as far as i can see you only posted bad about the game. Sure any game looks bad if all you do is. Rate it on the stuff that is bad. If i rated cod on repetitiveness and how awful the connection is. And how the game isn't as good looking as it's counterpart battlefield is. Sure even call of duty would sound like crap.

Before you make any more reviews. You may want to go to youtube. And then search for the angryjoeshow. He is probably one of the best reviewers i have found. So far i agree with everything he haves said. And i also found that he is pretty spot on with his reviews.

Anyways i good luck in the future and have a nice day. If i was offensive in anyway while writing reply. I am sorry i wasn't trying to be. I was just trying to help out.
