Requiem: Bloodymare

How come the hype level is so low for this game?  Compare to a lot of other games in beta like 2Moons and Cabal Online, this game is way better but doesn't have as high of a rating.  Seems from the posts that a lot of people like it, so it's strange the rating is so low

Dunno, to me the hype rating is too high for what to me is a boring, uninspired grindfest. To each their own.

The gameplay videos look rather boring, thats why I would have hyped it low had i voted.

A 5.6 is actually extremely low.  Its not just common Korean Grinder A13 type low, but made by shitting out code low.  I don't think people really gave this game a shot before giving it a 1, or maybe there is a bot a competing company uses to make 1000 accounts give it all a 1 because they are afraid of it. 

It may also be due to the fact it hasn't been sitting on the GameList for 3 years as people speculate over the over-ambitious features, instead its more based on a game in a closed beta state that doesn't even have all its content unlocked, and it was actually using the Closed Beta test to ... test.  I mean if you played AoC or WAR right now, they would probably get a 1 hype too if you guys never heard about the game before.

I have played to lvl 27 so far..IMO the game deserves 7.5ish at the least just taking the current build into consideration...There does need to be a bit more communication by the devs regarding their outlook on the game, new content implementation etc, but Im having a blast even with the limited amount of beta members currently in the game. 

In a week the game is OB and free! Give it a shot, there is very little grind and there are some great, unique things so far that I've been diggin' (The ability to transform into a Possessed Beast that has unique skills and armor, the ability to enhance your DNA so as to specialize your character.) Check it out and then judge..

i played till level 18....the game is incredibly shallow and boring IMHO. I would have given it a 5.0.....cause its MEH

played the beta for a while im sorry its lame. i give it a 4.0

Ah just noticed that the worst grinder in the friggin world 9 DRAGONS got hyped to 7.8..

Maybe the rating is a golf score...the lower the better because that POS  couldnt remotely hold a candle to Requiem.

The ratings on this site are messed up.  People rate games they haven't played, games they don't want to succeed, games that might be rated higher than the one they currently play, etc.

The best bet is to just try games you might be interested in and decide for yourself.  I stopped looking at hype and ratings on this site a long time ago.

I rated it low because after playing it to lvl 20 it is exactly like every other crappy L2 clone only with more blood.  Is the extra blood supose to convince that the game is somehow diffrent?  I cant believe Gravity has its name anywhere nere this peice of junk.

IMO it's premature to rate a game before it goes at least OB, since the CB perioad is far too chaotic to get a real feeling of a game (many things are still to be added / tested, builds are unbalanced, xp rates and drops suck and might be altered on purpose for certain reasons). The "playability" & the "feeling" of the game might change dramatically in a matter of days, so in the end the game might become interesting and fun.

Contrary to some ppl beliefs, CB is not an opportunity to get a first glimpse at the game (that's secondary), the main reason is so the devs can test the various aspects of the game on real players. So they might want to make your life in game a living hell on purpose, depending on what they're actually going to test.

Many ppl slammed the game for not being a true horror game - I couldn't care less about that, to me this type of comments mean nothing :) I'm looking forward for OB ;)
