Game not worth 60USD

[Dakaa]

30-40USD at best, judging from its current state.

EDIT: currently, my fav mmo/online games are League of Legends and Path of Exile, i'm still looking for something new to change to, unfortunately this is not the one.

If you think so. Just wait a few month until the price went down a bit. See you than.

Probably will hold out on this, there are tons of titles comin' out this year.

Well gee wiz. Im quite certain that no BETA is worth 60USD.

[Dakaa]

Oh yeah, the beta is free and it gives you a taste of what the full game will almost be like, judging from that it's certainly not worth 60USD for release. Will wait for Steam sales discount which will most likely happen, after witnessing RIFT went from full price to 30USD~ then to 20USD~ and again down to 15USD~ over a period of several months.

Beta build is a 4 month old production? Lots of improvements have been made from this build.

Its free to play.

Why?

You can buy script or whatever its called for X amount.

BANG! HEADSHOT TO THE KNEE!!!!

Yeah, its free to play. You buy vehicles, clothing, and a set percentange bonus to EGO/Exp/ect for a duration (basicly gives you a small buff to level your EGO faster). When in game, hit escape, lower left corner with the circle the EGO and a dial pops up, bottom is "Defiance Store" for money to script packs. Just like the other free to plays. So your $60 USD is basicly buying a pack of script, not the actual game itself....as its looking like Planetside but there are no weapons to buy (Defiance might be cosmetic micro-transactions that give no real bonus outside leveling speed, every other game is P2W where the more cash = better gear through a straight up transaction)

I could be wrong though, as I haven't played a Trion game before, but its looking a little like Planetside which I got bored of after 2 months and only spending $25 (the max amount I would spend as I knew what I was getting into and thought I might get bored after 3 months...was faster then I expected).

Your $60 is buying you a game with hundreds of hours of content. None of the cash shop stuff is necessary to get tons of play time out of this game.

its fair enough that you feel tht way (and for the record thank you for sounding civil and not mouthing off )

out of interest, not that you have to explain your feelings, but why so? (im a nosey sod) and im sure it can help the devs if they get an idea about peoples reasoning?

dont have to answer if you dont want to or can send me a pm.

Well I know why I know why I'm a bit iffy on paying a full 60 bigguns for this game, beta or no. (You're nosey, I'm opinionated. :P)

I'm very loot oriented. I like playing with gear, deciding which is better, finding better stuff and wiggling my fingers with delight as I equip it. And despite the other wonderful aspects of this game, that is where it falls flat on its face. If you don't count slotting perks or modding weapons, you get.... next to nothing in way of progress. A tiny bit of health each level and some small boosts to a weapon type if you've REALLY specialized in it. (meaning you'll probably be using one sub-type of that weapon, which will be the only thing you use the entire game)

In one night, from 1-150, I've found various types of shield, various types of grenade, I've dabbled with them. Once I stop dabbling I'll settle on a single set of equipment I'll be using from now... until doomsday. And that does not thrill me.

In Borderlands, the pattern from which this game has clearly cut its loot and equipment system, you always had a plethora of choices. You'd find a gun that just clicked for you, and you played the crap out of that gun. And just when that gun started to get boring, you'd find an even better gun, maybe of a completely different type! It kept the loot fresh and enjoyable.

In this game all you're going to do is find a higher level version of the same gun you have now, mod it up a bit more than your last one and use that until it's time to do it all over again. It seems to offer freedom at first... but not really.
