You eiter have someone review DF who is a fan or isn't a fan. I'd rather have someone who is biased against DF review the game. Someone who is a fan would be biased toward the game. Thats the arguement alot are using. DF gets bad reviews because the reviewers are biased against it but the flip side of that is having someone biased toward the game review it. I'm not gonna place much faith in a slobbering review made a biased fan of DF or the genre it represents. Sure you can have someone biased for the game give a fair review just as someone who is biased against the game can give a fair review. It works both ways. If someone biased against DF gives a great review and a decent score, maybe a high score....thats says alot more than a high score from someone biased for the game.

You are so right in this post and you are pressing exactly on the right point. We darkfall players, are not trying to say the game is 8 or 9/10. It never was and it never will be, but the game has a certain quality that I have been looking for, for a long time. It's fun its manic, and crazy PvPwise. If you want to play Darkfall, play it for the right reasons. Le Terrabilis |

So you played DarkFall then ? having it called vapoware in another thread leads to impression you didn't play. Either you have not played it and you dont know shit about or you played it but then you should stop calling it vapor. make up your mind. Having played it, its crap, Half The time I was macroing everything, harvesting, weapons skills, spells etc. When I wasn't playing I swam. I didn't just macro I was there for most of the Huge sieges(laggy as hell), random ganks, some end game PVE for full plate etc. It was fun for the thrill and rush of risk vs reward, but it is a crap game that did fail to deliver. The game is getting into a better shape but it still sucks. Why play it if its so bad? its the only one of its kind. Hopefully MO will actually deliver. DF worst PR EVER! |

Fanbois comments are getting shallower by the day. Love how the same issues are always discussed on the forums, reviewed by players , reviewed by gaming sites, but according to the DF fanbois here, it's all lies and myths. Talk about being blind!
Can't wait for the next 'lying' review in this worldwide conspiracy against DF and Aventurine. |

fanbois should be happy that at least the game got reviewed by other source and got 4/10. it would be a lie if the game gets a better score at this point. The best they can do I guess is continue to pay the monthly sub and hopefully the game improves. |

Excuse me? When was this addressed? When did he use other actual reviewers to fake his own review? What reviewers, and what reviews? I'm sorry, but what you wrote is a bigger lie then the Eurogamer review. Maybe you didn't understand what I said. If the guy at Gamereactor pointed out the exact same things the Eurogamer review did, how can Ed be lying. Care to actually back up any of what you said. |

Argh i have 3 kids and no money |
anyone intersted in RL hardcore sandbox ......goto a Slayer Concert and try to keep up with the crowd at the center while the band plays :P(if realy hardcore scream"IM EMO") Seriously , all you ppl just let it be , all the DF review topics starting to smell like royal poo. All you "haters" just take a look at Tasos comments and sorry to say that his t. appearance ..be wise and leave those fanboyz who have found theyr playground in DFO ..in fact be glad they are playing it and not playing somewhere else And to the fanboyz play ur game ..make once ina while a reality check and remember that youre actualy paying for the game(that hasnt even been officialy released ,,its still in some phase isnt it )and more important you invest time ---lifetime--wich is naturaly more valuable than some $$$ fee's.

Originally posted by Cik_Asalin Yea. And here-in lies the rub. Most people have held such a damn myopic view as to what the breadth and depth of pvp actually means by pigeonholing into this corner of one player(s) in combat only with another player(s), then a game comes along, not unlike some others, but pushes that envelope of the true meaning of dynamic and broadly implemented pvp as one that is all-encompassing, for the most part, and they cant handle or have an appreciation for the player-driven ecosystem; something that really transcends just linear combat of one player(s) against another.
This really is a competitive and dynamic pvp game where trade, diplomacy, city rule, region influence, resource gathering, crafting, adventuring, etc. is player vs player and player with player driven.
As an added edit. It aint going to be for many players at all due to the relaxed and safe code-driven content and game-play of most other mmo's, I think.
See, this is where the fanboys are always wrong. We don't hate the game because it is pvp focused, we don't hate it because it is brutal and hardcore. We dont' hate it because it isn't quest-driven or themepark. Re-read the review. The reviewer hates the game because combat, animations, menu's and gameplay are very primative and simplistic. This is 2009... if Darkfall had come out in 2001, it would be acceptable but still annoying. The whole menu system is just badly designed. The skill system and craft systems are boring and too easily exploited. Combat is a circle-jerk click-fest with none of the strategy other games offer. The only part of the game that is interesting is the chat/social system which can be found in any other game. Even games like WOW have 'guild wars' based on out-of-game forum postings, which is all that DF has. |

what is this chat/social system whereof you speak?
and um, you really don't know how bad the items you talk about are, unless you've been playing. anyone that says anything about darkfall is because of "realism" is a complete and utter moron. you know those groovy background animations? like grass and trees blowing in the breeze? picture the largest redwood you can find... now picture THAT tree, swaying gently in the breeze, from about 1 foot off the ground, to the top of the tree... not sure what category hurricane would make a huge tree like that "sway in the breeze" from a couple of inches above the roots even... but that wind isn't blowing anything else around... could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please? |

Yeah - what chat/social system? The chat system flat out sucks and, to the best of my knowledge, there's no social system (like an LFG page, for example). ~Ripper |

DF has the same lvl of quality you'd expect from a F2P 5 years ago. Unless your addicted to PVP so bad you need your fix of ganking this game doesnt deserve to be rated higher than 5 (which is a pass grade something that games that have more lies than features at realease should get).
Try playing this game like you'd play a regular mmo and your gonna end up having as much fun as when you end up getting a cavity search at the airport. I'm not a no life that sits in front of his computer all day long, I'm an intern that sits in front of his computer all day long. |

I believe anyone who seriously thinks DF is a good game A) is only interested in the PVP full loot aspect, therein ignoring the rest of the game B) Has never played a decent round in a good multiplayer FPS Because if B were true, they would see what garbage DF is. And if you want to challenge this, list the FPS you played. |

Had my worries about twitch combat not cant be done riight in MMORPG but DF proved me wrong. They did merged FPS style with MMORPG in a succesfully way. -----MY-TERMS-OF-USE-------------------------------------------------- Everyone who logs into NGE destroys a bit of the SW Universe.

A MMO is constantly changing so when should he review it? After release is as good time as any, ha can make a new one in a year or 2 if the game changed enough. The reason Eve had bad reviews at start was that the gameplay was bad then. They fixed it now and most reviews are a lot better. SWG however got scared since the reviews were bad and didn't fix all the problems but instead changed the whole game, but it is not really dead, it do have more players then DF currently even if it ain't is as big as it was before the change. DF can succed the same way as Eve did, by fixing the problems and make the gameplay better. If you just pretend that the game is perfect and conitnue without trying to fix the bad things however it will be gone in a year. Sticking your head in the sand wont work, the reviewrs have some points and if Avi realize that and start doing what CCP did the game might be as big as Eve in 2 years. If they do nothing or to little they might as well close down. This game can still be a success but whining on the reviewers isn't the way of making that happens, look on how CCP fixed it. They did not cry when they got a bad review and I dont remember their fans posting personal pictures of a reviewer on this site (That was just the most creepy thing I ever seen here). |

Had my worries about twitch combat not cant be done riight in MMORPG but DF proved me wrong. They did merged FPS style with MMORPG in a succesfully way. I find the opposite. I really am waiting for the two genre's two merge successfully, but thus far have seen nothing. I tried Planetside a couple years ago but even then the graphics seemed so dated I lost interest. I don't think DF's combat cn even compare to some of the better multiplayer FPS out there (JO, BF2)....but then, online FPS has been going downhill in the last several years....nothing really interesting any more. Sure, BF2142 was entertaining for a little while, but after that I've been pressed to find one that interests me....COD4, COD5 both lacked for me. I'm waiting on Nova's next game. Maybe Huxley will be the one...who knows...but I digress. If you find DFO PVP combat "exciting" you HAVE NOT played a good round in one of the better multiplayer FPS's. Prove me wrong. Name one that you have. |

Well see, If you have no idea how a good fps game plays, you wouldn't be able to understand why the combat in DFO is so bad. Anyone that is into FPS games can't possibly think that DFO did it right. If you like the game that's cool, you can like a game and still be able to recognize it's flaws. |
