Have you played the game?  Ah, no, you haven't.  Mmm...

I do you feel for you.  You have obviously been abused by other game companies and now, in your blinding anger at them, you lash out at Darkfall.

the hell with you, what could be wrong about an fps based combat mmorpg with fleet fight, city building, no levels skill system (yay eve online) and full looting and crafting systems.

 

you must be a tool if you can't see fun staring right in your face.

 

it's like medevil eve-online! huzzah!

and it might actully stop being vaporware!

Well done Stradden.

To PapaLazarou, none of us know how the game will be. That's the great thing about the free trial Adventurine is proposing. Worst case scenario: you give it a shot and uninstall, no money spent.

I will say that DF looks AWESOME as far as gameplay, not so much graphics and the animations seemed rough, but animations are easy to fix and graphics aren't the most important thing. Also, I think some of the animations looked worse than they are, did the footage speed seem altered to anyone else?

Again, like my parents always told me, try it, you might like it but you won't be any worse for trying.

I hope the really negative people can just look at this as a new experience for MMO's and I'm not sure what their problem is with a game that promises so much. We'll have to wait and see if it delivers but isn't it worth being optimistic that Aventurine has done something great here. Very childish to bash a game that has taken it's time to be developed properly.  Very childish people on both sides if the fence about this game. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

The full length trailer rocks and the game looks like it's going to be hella fun! Definately get news of the game on the front page.

A game without any instancing and it has a significant death penalty. It's about freakin time. I can't wait.

EQ1 Graphics

Staged machinima style excitement.

People are so easily fooled.

When I see real people playing, and hear real peoples opinions, then vaporware will not come to mind here.

The graphics look good to me and I enjoyed EQ graphics when I played it back in the day so I don't see why I wouldn't like them now. Gameplay is always more important and Darkfall will be a seamless world without any instancing, partly because they aren't focusing on the highest graphical settings. A lot of people should be able to run Darkfall on older machines and still get good FPS. Emphasis on gameplay.

Criticize the game all you want. But for people to call the graphics EQ1 is utterly lame and stupid. Did you all even play EQ1? Believe me, the two don't compare.

I personally don't give a damn what the graphics look like as long as the gameplay, and especially the PvP are great!

Ive been waiting a long time for a fantasy based game to rival the PvP experience of AC1  This may just do it!

im happy the dev team decided to show some footage. the gameplay seems quite amazing, though cant know for sure without hands on experience. it is not easy to make a mmorpg with a small dev team with basically no funding other then free time. it may have taken this game many years to get where it is at now but lets just hope they can pull through and get the game to the gamers.

Underwhelming.  I'm sure the game exists, but it will fail because the play mechanics (sieges, naval combat, etc) relies on a large population that I don't think this game will ever have.

While I too think the graphics are not as cutting edge as say LOTRO or CoD4, I think that the elements shown from a gameplay perspective look pretty good. In fact, I would say that too many people a focused on how "pretty" a game looks over how well it plays. If a game looks great but plays horribly then it is going to fail. On the other hand, a game that plays very well and looks just decent has a very good chance to succeed.

With that said, I am still a bit of a DF doubter only because the developement company is saying they are not (at this time) going to have any North American servers. While I think a game like DF can survive on Europe alone I think they are short changing their potential. And IF they are willing to so short change that potential, can they really be a serious contenter?

Give me an MMO without leveling and grinding. Please don't disappoint!

As I said before, gameplay and content will trump graphics anytime.  Graphics are fine in this game if they provide the expected gameplay.

As to the Beta, well don't hold your breath.  Chances of it happening this year are slim and none.  You can argue all you want, but Adventurine has shown to move very slowly and past history is a pretty good indicator that this is at best a 2009 title.

Hopefully they will use that time to enchance the game and remove bugs.

So you only play games for their graphics? wow.


Why don't you go watch the latest movie? I hear the gameplay is somewhat lacking, but the scenario is great and the graphics are just stunning!!

I wouldn't be surprised at all seeing this is Darkfall and all, that the reason the graphics look like they are from 2004 is becuase the game footage IS from 2004.

A couple of spell effects and 1 or 2 animations need work but otherwise, amazing graphics and amazing world -- the trees and grass all move in the wind, beautiful and realistic sun/clouds/sky, underwater view is amazing... boats even create their own bow wave!

 

this is on top of full physics and real-time combat. There is little doubt that if the beta gameplay lives up to the quality shown in the video that this will be an epic game.

 

As to those people complaining about graphics, you should go back to the content-free and buggy lagfest that is AoC, or the 8-bit graphics repetitive carebear grindfest that is WOW, or whatever other skill-less auto-attack-based MMO you came from.

An unfortunate number of gamers do exactly what you're doing - you're confusing graphics with gameplay. Look at Darkfall's feature list, and then go look at DAoC's, and tell me whether you see much difference. Would you rather that Aventurine poured its energy and resources into producing graphics to rival Age of Conan, or into producing gameplay that goes far beyond anything on the market?

But hey, it's no skin off my nose. Run along and enjoy your polygon counts and particle effects.
