Defiance

I just picked this up yesterday. I'm actually digging it quite a bit. I'm playing on 360 so I just turned all the social shit off. For us old guys (eg: no time to devote to a "real" MMO anymore) I think it's pretty cool. I can log in for a couple hours, shoot some stuff, log back out.

Most of what I'd say has already been covered, but on the odd chance someone is considering picking this up, for 60 bucks it's (imo) not a bad way to kill some time. I'm at ego 120 after maybe 8 hours or so and just starting to get the hang of it. If I get 20-30 hours out of a game these days I consider it money well spent.

Worth picking up for $24 bucks? GMG has it for PC for $24. I could enjoy a decent FPS MMO if that's what this is. I haven't really followed it all. I heard it sucked in beta/launch, but wondering if they patched it up a bit. The F2P makes me curious.

It's behind the shoulder (think mass effect). It was fun for what it was, didn't regret paying $60 for it.

That doesn't seem bad but I'm waiting for this thing to reach like $10 which should be any week now.

How long till this game goes FTP anyone?

Would FTP even be to save it?

It is FTP afaik.

You still have to buy it to play it.

But don't you have to buy Seasons or some shit for Content for it?
I have heard such bad reviews of the pc version are they spot on?

Bored and want to support a shitty throw away game? Buy it. I got all I needed after about 8 hours of beta.

yah heard it sucked on the pc from low specs to no chat UI.
Is it true gear don't matter as well the carrot on the stick other then fluff?

Some questions please mates.
So I am bored to tears atm.

I know its Buy to play, but don't you have to buy the season pass really as well if you want more content?
Has the chat UI or graphics been fixed for the pc version?
Anyone have a clue how soon till this drops to fully FTP model?

I just don't want to waste 39$ and then uninstall it 2 hours later or less if its still like the beta.

Cheers.

For wasting some time you might be better off with TSW, TOR or even DDO.

You'll either install it after 20 minutes, or you'll end up playing for 10-12 hours.

$40 seems too expensive. This feels like a $20 game to me.

I think it's telling that they haven't released any of the dlc they promised (they did pre-sell the season pass which is supposed to contain 5 dlcs I think) yet...

I picked this up for $20 the other day during the greenmangaming sale for the PC.

It felt pretty refreshing to hop into a game and be able to play right off the bat. Pretty simple game but it kept me amused for a few hours. I don't feel like my $20 was wasted. I had fun running around to different arkfall events and playing through some co-op missions. Blasting away at the critical spots on the big monsters with a LMG was satisfying.

Easiest way to sum this up is its hybrid of Planetside and Rift.

Nice change of pace from 25m heroic raiding in WoW. Turn off brain, pick up gun, shoot shit.

Defiance is 13.66$ on steam summer sale atm.
