I'm excited, despite all the pointless negatism

[ChaosOneX]

So, I've been playing the xbox beta, and honestly, I'm excited. I've always wanted to be part of an MMO from the beginning, and I think Defiance is a perfect choice.

I think people are forgetting, WoW wasn't built in a day, and if Trion has shown anything with Rift, it's that they understand how to keep a game evolving. Sure, I'd like to fight some mutated wolves or bats or something, but at the same time, we should keep in mind that this is the beginning of the game. It's not like Halo 4 or CoD, where what you get at the beginning is all you will get, the game is capable of evolving, of becoming better.

I'm already amazed at the weapon quality, the backdrops to my battles, and the concept of the world. I love the co-op maps that are out, and for once find pvp enjoyable. Perhaps Defiance doesn't really compare to WoW or other MMOs out there just yet, in my opinion, it's already great, and the only way is up.

Hope to see you all soon!

Haha, I see someone has my wide view on good games. I have to tell you though. The beta for console is 2 months old. Also, this is 1/10th of what is done already, and by the time I project that on final release it'll be 1/50th of what they coded. It's a beautiful game. WoW's peak was Burning crusade. That was FOUR years of straight PC development, maybe more. If we do the analysis then we can, or at least I foresee, that this game will be /perfect/ in maybe 2-3 with as dedicated trion is?

agreed. It doesn't seem like people get that the game's greatest strength is that it's an MMO. And not run by Blizzard.

to be fair, its barely an MMO

[ChaosOneX]

same could be said about Fallen Earth. It does it for me, though. I mean, sometimes it feels more like Kingdoms of Amalur than Rift, but... I enjoy it, and it has room for improvement.

I played the pc Beta, and i was blown away by the amount of content they have stuffed in. They had initial stability issues, which was expected in a stress test. but after that it was smooth sailing, no massive lag spikes, the game wasnt very buggy to the point that it was unplayable.

Now if they pull this off at launch, many Big companies cant seem to do this *cough* EA Acti-Blizztard *Cough* I can see this game having a great future. The only down point i can think of, was that noone i knew was playing.. and its kinda hard to make freinds ingame.

i cant wait till payday so i can pre order on steam.

While I really would like to share in your optimism, the fact is that while this may be amazing for a console game, the PC version is just a poor port, with horrible ui elements which really detract from the game play experience.

Just out of curiosity what else you want on your UI? To chanmge weapon use "Q", to reload hit "R", to check your inventory hit "L". I dont get what people dont like about the UI.

So far I like the game, the only things I dont like is that my character does not talk, he is mute??? Aiming a little bit tricky when no using Sniper rifle and the driving is very strange for me, but heck I am an old man, I have trouble driving my own RL car LOL
