But those in the minority that like a game where the players influence the environment more-so than in any mmorpg, including taking on the role of the mobs that you hunt for glory and items and story, then this player-driven ecosystem might provide you with a more challenging and dynamic form of entertainment.

 

lol, what?! have you played DF yet?

Have you? The game is CURRENTLY the best game on the market of its type, its not perfect but its the only one there whether you like it or not and its not going anywhere kid.

And NO, they havent even adveritsed the game yet so a big wave of players hasnt happened yet, most people dont even know DF is out. Yes most people dont read internet gaming forums.

 

yub, just those 300k~ people who registered for beta and waited a few years for the release. a few of the long term followers played at release, very few of them are left. most of them are now "hating" on the official boards, you should have noticed, but yeah i know, they are only qqing and should go back to wow - how dare them to criticize the game they play and make suggestions, they must be pathetic trolls!

 

it's a niche game, targeted at a specific audience, most of them knew about the game for many years. do you know the power of "word of mouth"?

This game is here to stay, trust me. I ve seen all these posts before and i will see them all over again about some other game *cough*Mortal Online*cough*. Its always doom and gloom from the vocal MINORITY yet MMOs keep on goign for YEARS, but the truth is the game is good :) See you in game! :)

 No it is certainly not the best game of its type. Not even close. EVE Online is a far better game.

I found this first line pretty funny after reading your OP. I would take this review over eurogamers and tth's first impressions in a heartbeat. Sounds very honest, and eventhough you're a fan it doesn't sound too biased to me. If it were that way I'd probably be seeing way too many 8-9's. Hell you even gave certain aspects of the game a 4. That's saying something about honesty. Great job in my opinion.

yes i have, it's the worst pvp game i have ever played. only the twitch based and mounted combat plus the full loot makes it really unique imo and the game is very poorly coded and designed. the sandbox is failing, the pve is horrible, skillpoints and gear DO matter despite playerskill (which you will need in any pvp mmo, no matter if carebearzOrish autotarget hotbarmashing or shooter like twitch based, neocron had far better fps combat than df for example). there are critical hacks in a competive pvp game which are easily accessible, still working after months. yes, i know that there are hacks in almost every game, but the df client is a heaven sent gift for cheat coders.

if you like df in its current shape ... ok, fine. this is a discussion board, feel free to post your view of things, but don't act like everyone is a themepark carebear kiddy who cant let go that he doesn't like a game.

If you gave the sound a 6 out of 10, something is already wrong with your review.

gave ya a hand.

also, this is NOT the only game of it's type out right now.  just look to the listing on the left hand side of the site. 

as for the guy who commented about 6/10 for sound... shhhh, it's his first review, it's his opinions and stuff.. he just started.  he hasn't had any core game experience, i.e. sieges yet.  think of this as "hey, this is my first day and what i found", from a casual style player.

Wow...
 

This is one of the most ill informed broads I have ever seen. LOL Leran to think.. Please. If a company is not making any money, (which incidently is the goal of every company on the planet) They go under. Look at Circuit City, Linens & Things, AIG, All the banks, Eddie Bauer. These companies are all going bankrupt, because they are not making money. AV is into its investors for a lot dough. Millions. They have not made good on thier loans, let alone made any profit..nor will they. Its simple business. Before you say Darkfail is the Best game of its kind, and then say it is the only one of it's kind, and THEN go and call someone a kid, Please think!
You are either extremely mentally deficient or a kid yourself.

What features are there? You can left click repeatedly and run in circles? The only good feature is the ability to fly boats, which you cannot do in any other game on the market.

Yea...just popping back in...there hasn't been a mmorpg with flaws I've played since 1997.  So, sorry to break it to those that are looking for a flawless game, but it doesnt exist.

Darkfall has it's flaws, and I still prefer to play in a player-influenced and spontaneously driven ecosystem rather than a static mob-driven pve ecosystem, which is what you'll get with each and every other mmorpg available, other than EvE.  I just dont chose to play as a ship.

Edit: Agains, nice fair review of DF, OP.

to be honest , another review  outa xxxxx  doesnt matter anymore ,ppl  already made up their minds .

Good luck & hf

People are always welcome to offer a review.  But I don't understand why someone would continuously go out of their way, for example, to walk into an Italian restaurant, and yell repeatedly that Italian food sucks.

*chuckles*  Well, if you don't like Italian, then perhaps find what you appreciate and enjoy it.

That game has so many hacks its not funny.  Well just one hack makes the game no good.

And there start of this game sucked,   they never let everyone that wanted to play it in , and in a game like this ,  you will never win!

Game would be ok if the hacks was gone and everyone started over. But they need to send everyone a invite to there email for it to be fair.

I waited for this game for like 8 years and beta tested it and liked it in beta. But could not get the game when it went live. So i give my money to other mmos that let me play and not so many hacks.

Good thing there are no more hacks in this game than WoW, EvE, WAR, etc.  I agree that hacks should be minimised and assaulted in every game, as the devs have done in DF.

Too bad some couldn't get in.  /shrugs  But with the coming of the North American server shortly, it will be a fresh start for everyone. :)

tAsus, is that you??

A few have stated that DF isnt the only one of it's kind on the market at the moment...i really like darkfall and would love to try others off it's kind, even more so better one's :) is there any chance you could let me know which ones to try ( other than EVE, it just didnt grab me im afraid :( ) just a couple to try would be great.thanks.

Good thing you don't know what you're talking about, or you might post something factual.

Is there anyone that denies the game was coded intensely poorly?

Darkfall is the best game that I have ever played. But it reeks of problems that is taking Aventurine too long to fix. There I said it, I am not a biased fanboy. Now lets keep this thread flameless.

Mate you can't make an honest comment without some plum having to comment! i think that's an honest statement to say it is the best but it's still poor and AV are slow...well done.

Addmitedly it's not my best but hey i am having a great time, even better now that most of the jerks have left. That's what's great about forums somtime's it weeds out all the idiots and keeps them out of the game :) Just hope MO has a hate mob too!

A mostly accurate review insofar as the points you touched on - but not balanced.

For combat, I'd actually have given it a 9. It's an adjustment coming from target-and-click mmos, but combat has been well done.

Starting Out - I'd have given a 3 or 4. It's THE worst newbie experience I've had in any mmo - and that's completely putting aside the generally sociopathic community. The help files are woefully inadequate, the introduction doesn't cover enough, and the amount of time required to become even moderately capable is many, many, many, many, many hours.

And what you've completely failed to mention are the many game mechanics which are intended to do one thing, but are easily exploited to do the opposite. It's perverse that players will find themselves being griefed more often by members of their own faction using these exploits, than being ganked by "enemy" players.

There's a lot to love about this game - and it has the potential to be really good - but for it to have been released in the state it's in now, I'm not convinced that that potential will ever be realised. I think a lot of the playerbase are hanging in there in the hopes that things get better, rather than because they love the game for what it is now.
