I have rather wide MMO background, played over 100 titles and most new games bore me to death (RIFT and SWToR included). Today Ive played B&S beta and to my surprise I liked it alot. Great graphics, zone and gear design, looks like an interesting storyline, I was shocked by quantity and quality of cut scenes which put SWToR to shame. Combat is fast and fun. Basically everything in this game screams quality, even UI.

My only upsets is too few number of classes and single leveling path which lowers replayability greatly. But overal the game rocks, I wasnt waiting for it before, and I will now. My score: 9/10

Let me leave this in here.

Warning. They might be spoilers.

Blade & Soul Cutscene.

A comparison of cutscenes (CLICK) quality between B&S and SWTOR, like the OP mentioned.

 wow, that actually looks amazing. and even has a story too :) I remember myself being interested in this game a couple of years ago but then it went off radar, havent heard about it for some time. Any idea when is it going to be released in eu, if ever? :/

Amazing cut scene showing the story focus of the game.

I wouldnt hold my breath on this one. While it looks nice, it IS a typical CS MMO. You have to fork up cash...a lot. I was waiting for this game, but not anymore.

I hope they leave the original language version with subtitles for voiceovers.  I really didn't like the Aion westernization compared to the Korean beta VOs and character sounds.

I've been watching this one and ArcheAge, but I really don't want to pvp anymore unless I flag for it.  The pvp landscape has changed a lot since I first played Lineage.  It just doesn't look that appealing anymore, but the pve gameplay does.  I would probably still be playing Aion if I could just pve and occasionally flag.

It's a good game, if it's out before ArcheAge then I'll be sure to give it a go.

Just looks like more softcore anime-style with high heels and oversized weapons to me.

Yeah but you could use vague descriptions like that on any game, so it's best to keep comments like that to yourself

Um no, I don't label all games like that. And secondly, I'll go ahead and post my opinions regardless if you want to play forum police or not, thanks.

I didn't say you did, I said you could use generalized useless descriptions on any game like that, it's just it didn't contribute anything and it shows you've never even played the game. For those of us which have played it's a bit irritating to have the same noobs come in and spout ' their opinion ' backed up by no experience of the game itself , but hey if you want to make yourself look dumb go ahead.

looks like Aion

Actually, i dont like these types of overdramatic cutscenes.

They are not interactive diologues for quests, which is what bioware did, so actually theres no comparison, since these are dramatic cinemas and SWTOR has interactive diologues.

If this game used biowares phenomical facial exptression and body movement these would be a whole lot better too...which they did use in the SW interactive diologues

*not advocating SWTOR, that game uses the notoriously crappy hero engine and as such major pvp content is unplayable and ignored.

However if bioware chose to do dramatic cutscenes rather than diologues for every quest, this is probably what it would be like, since these are the cinematic cutscenes from the game.

This games cutscenes look cheap and overdramatic imo, but then i dont think this is going to be a game that appeals to me anyway.

lol this game is shit, u would run out of inventory space fast and the solution is the cash shop to buy more inventory space, same as in dragon nest and all f2p shit....

imo, stay clear.

This game looks amazing but i haven't had the luxury to play it. The only problem is untill its released then westernized it will take a long time, and with NCSoft/Anet coming out with GW2 this year i dont think it will be coming any time soon.
