Defiance

Mah. Game is alright so far. I found it cheap. From what I have seen so far I would not recommend paying full price for this. Mostly just because the game itself feels completely disjointed and rough. Graphical options on PC are completely ridiculous. Basically all I have noticed from the PS3 version to the PC version was a higher resolution. I still play with a controller. The chat menu systems are non existant. And while I was trying to emote a few people or say hello to the area, no one replied. Either they didn't know how or just didn't care but I would guess the former. I pressed A when I was driving my vehicle for a rocket boost, and was like "Hey... Rocket Boost. Glad they told me" There is a serious lack of information on how to play the game and learn the systems.

The chat interface is fucking awful. I am guessing no one cares if you socialize or not. Finding friends is a pain, but I am going to add Mkopec so I can follow the guy around with my Deadbolt.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fun sandbox game and I have not been following this much so I have no idea what's in store with the TV show tie in. Basically if you like Borderlands 2 with public players all over being able to assist in content, with a mix of random arks (Rifts) and some fairly mediocre Team Deathmatch/Capture matches (Only 3 maps for this) it is fun to screw around in I guess. Good thing there isn't a subscription. I have heard the guns can get cool - so that is something I guess. I'll play it more tonight.

The voice chat... my God. I was in a TDM match to try it out last night and there were echo'd random voices anywhere. Is there a way to turn that off?

I feel like I want to do run a comparison against all the people bitching about the only MMOs being made are shitty MMOs, and all the people in this thread going "yeah, shitty game, but nothing else going on" or "shitty game but I found it cheap" or any other bullshit.

YOU. YOU are why shitty games are being made. Every time you sit in another EQ thread or some shit whining about nothing good being made anymore, go look in the mirror and understand that's caused by YOU and people like YOU.

As time as gone on I have come to understand not buying it doesn't work. The folks involved would just scapegoat the genre and say that they overestimated the MMOFPS market. There is zero accountibility in this industry as it stands, and you would think when a game doesn't sell, it's because it was a horrible game. Not the case for the most part. Scapegoats are now endangering entire genres.

I buy games which look like they will be fun, and for most part they are, at least for a few months. I cannot actually name one MMO that I purchased that I did not find fun for a few months. (Maybe LOTRO? I dont remeber that one so it must of sucked) Even the one that was deemed the colossal failure of all mmorpgs to date, SWTOR, I had a good 6 month run in. So if I listened to salty people all the time, the "DONT BUY THIS BECAUSE BLAH BLAH" crowd, I would ultimately be doing myself a disservice.

Its like any other entertainment. Its all subjective, and ultimately I will be the judge of what I like and what games I play. Fuck the haters and fuck the naysayers.

Its a shitty industry. If you think about it, if you truly wanted to play AAA quality games that were done, complete, bug free, and were actually GOOD games, what would you play? The 2-3 stand out titles per year? LOL, might as well get a new hobby if you think like this.

Mobs start to get pretty jumpy and they all swarm in the later game. The also have personal shields and nearly all of them have grenades.

I noticed this too. I think when I did the breaking into San Quentin (or whatever that prison was) quest is when shit started to get real. The difficulty really ramps up as does the AI it seems. The quest with the 99ers after the prison one was a bitch too, on some dock somewhere? Where you had to rescue the dock workers? I died many times that quest. Like you said, they all start to swarm you, they start to have shields and toss nades at you too. Those flaming ones are a bitch.
