Yes I quit this nichey game for the second time. I am not a huge fan of the menus as they are all very slow to navigate. In addition, I find the controls primitive and the skills very lack luster and boring at the start of the game. Coolest features I liked was the ability to post on a public board dedicated to the guild in game... so you can talk smack or message guilds without actually having to know their site. Graphically its not that bad looking, mounts are bomb looking They've started cracking down on Macros and thats the only way I can see myself being a fulltime caster as you need components for everything, and its not like Asherons Call when you use it theres a chance it will be gone, its guranteed to be gone soon as you use it. I havent been banned but dont see the point of trying to play a game and then later on get banned for the only thing that keeps me sane while playing this game. Without macros its a huge grindfest one I do not want to be part of. Ganked a few, laughed a little, but thats it for me. ____________ Presentation **** 4* *** -- Controls and Menus are terrible, binding keys is terrible. Guild forums via ingame menus, very cool. Graphics **** 6 **** -- Not the worse I have seen, alright with the settings all the way up. Sound **** -1 **** -- Terrible sounds Gameplay **** 7 **** -- Potential Lasting Appeal **** 4 **** -- I guess it depends on how much you can grind it
Overall: 5 -- Mediocre Niche Game

Seems to me like you don't have a hell of a lot of patience. Most MMO's are a grindfest but it is pretty much necessary if you want to have better skills/gear/stats than the next person. It's not like you can just say "okay make my character leet" and get maxxed out skills, it must be earned.
And though I don't really agree with most of your scores, the graphics score shoulda been a 7 at least.
The animations are pretty atrocious though... |

The simple fact that you have quit twice, makes me question your whole motive about playing MMO's. Just like the other reply I think it shows your lack of patience and I bet you do this commonly in games period, nothing particular to MMO's only. I personally think this is another biased game review... and notice I am not playing Darkfall, but if I picked it up I wouldn't take what you said as any reasoning for getting or not getting this title. |

You've quit it twice already? "Skill has not cool downed!" |

4 + 6 + 7 + 4 - 1= 20.
Also, the game has been out two weeks. How did you quit twice already? Wouldn't you still be on your first month's subscription? Did you uninstall then install again? Or just play for a week, stop, then play again?

What does that have to do with the price of rice in china? I stated if I were to pick up this game I wouldn't take this review as a credible one. That is all, what are you trying to read into. |

So basically, quitting because you can't cheat. GTFO |

I am not trying to read anything into it. But it makes a difference if you are trying to get this game and are a huge fanboy of it. As opposed to just not interested in any MMO right now and are just looking for something.
I will not buy this game. It is just not what I am looking for. B ut I look a review of a game and make my own decision on it's validity. (Both the review and the game) I don't see a reason to post like what you posted other than being a fanboy or someone looking to start something. In other words, why are you posting your opinion of "his" review if you don't care about the game? |

No shit I have to agree here, he quit because they are stopping cheaters. Yea now your review is really "credible".. hahaha, can't believe he just admitted to being a cheater and his friend obviously had the same plans in mind. Any MMO is better off without you and your friend. |

Is it macroing as a wole that is out? Or is it just AFK macroing? All I've seen on the boards is about unattended macroing. |

you have to watch it , otherwise you can get banned for it. Is my understanding. In Wow I could spend hours gathering, just for the random pvp encounters. This game is just boring to do trades... it really is an effort if you want to do it "legitimately" Aim: Ezxistence2 |

Lol a "Fanboi", I don't play MMO's right now because I don't have time, if I were to pick an MMO to play like I stated before. Yes I am an MMO fan not specific but I hope this game gets better I never said the game is great I never said it was bad just that this review is horrible and the fact he stated because of not being able to macro now even makes this more of a bogus biased review. You my friend sound like you would like to start something. As you stated my opinion and it is what it is, you picked at me. |

This is a legitimate review. The first time I quit was because of the controls/bindings/lack of skills. Second time was a combination of friend not getting in and macros. He convinced me to give it a another go.
p.s: Wicked Ive played many grindish mmos, Lineage 2, Asherons Call specifically... but it was fun while doing it. Its also about the people you play with, more than anything else. Aim: Ezxistence2 |

The biggest problem I have though is the damn attacking animations... Like one person had said in another thread they look like disfunctional action figures attacking the same way every time... |

Its true the animations are terrible, but the reason I could deal with poor animations is because unlike WAR with all its effects and BS ... Aim: Ezxistence2 |

This is a legitimate review, I don't see any reason to deride him. The game is not for everyone, that's for sure. I'd rather not grind in any game and this one is the same. I can play and enjoy myself without having a 100 in any skill. I'll get there when I do. The draw of this game for me is the fact that there is no end game. I can wait for the skills to raise.

Nope, it is only a legitimate review if you think this is the best MMO ever with features that have never even been thought of until the devine Tasos willed them into being. Otherwise, you are just a troll. |
