Oh, Tuvok, you so crazy.
It's interesting. From what I'd heard about the game so far I'd expected the combat to look a little less..."standard." Nice to have an MMORPG include some brainteasers for challenges instead of going 100% grindfest all the way, though.

I played the beta for this just before it got released, and as someone who's played Wow for a good part of 6+ years, I was impressed.
There's one, and one thing that kept me from buying the game. 15 dollar a month sub + cash shop + 60 dollar game purchase.

I hadn't heard of this game until the escapist ads. This review has me interested for sure... if the prices would just drop a little.
I was so excited for this when I first saw the reveal trailer. The setting seemed right up my alley, but my interest dropped right off a cliff once I found out it was an MMO and based on what I saw in the video it doesn't really do much for me in the gameplay department. I have just never been interested in the MMO experience in or that type of gameplay. Had this been a Sandbox game like Infamous or Prototype or Open World ala Skyrim I would have been all over this.
Yeah, you and me both. On the upside, if Star Wars: The Old Republic is anything to go by, it should be a sweet free-to-play in a couple of months from now.Waaghpowa said:

I don't want to play a piece of p2w crap filled with hacking penniless teens.
Just want to make a correction, the pricetag is $50, not $60, and also clarify that the cash shop is purely, 100% cosmetic. Only things in there are clothes, pets (that don't provide buffs), fireworks and titles.
As someone who has been following this game for 4 years, played beta and is playing it now, I enjoy it

Fine! I will buy the game.
Here I was thinking "Oh I will save my monies as I am finally free of any game with subs." But no! You reel me in with excellent setting, what appears to be good story telling and a unique ability system unlike any I have seen in other MMOs.
I will even overlook the EA distribution.

What free mmos have you played recently? p2w doesn't really happen in mmos too often, its mostly just xp boosts and cosmetics.rolfwesselius said:Ffs Do you guys want to ruin my games?Farther than stars said:Yeah, you and me both.

I'm pessimistic. Last Funcom game I tried was Age of Conan, and that was... disappointing. In my typical fashion, I speedily raced ahead in levels only to find that the wealth of content at the beginning of that game was traded for pretty much nothing to do in the later levels. I ended up quitting that game about as quickly as I jumped into it. And... considering that in this review you mention a lack of endgame content, something tells me that this game could be making the same mistake.
I'm waiting for the first patch and the price to fall, but I already know I'm getting this. It's inevitable. (The reviewer may have found it relatively bug-free, but I've read plenty online about crashes / memory problems.)
