I was curious about the game but after playing it for 2 hours I've uninstalled it and moved on.

Combat - boring and not fun

Quests - aside of story-telling mode aka SWTOR - boring and not fun

Atmosphere - boring and not fun (how long people will keep create zombies? I thought nobody cares about zombies any longer, but no, lets make another MMO with zombies...)

Lasting value - zip (I've played 2 hours and uninstalled it)

One of the most boring games I've tried so far. Even TERA is more fun. Secret World lacks big time in something that would keep subscriptions rolling. A lot of people will cancel after first 1-2 months.

FALLEN EARTH - years old game of similar setup is more fun. Wish people would stop making MMOs with old boring mechanics and pretend that their game is better than anything out there.

Skill system? Yeah you can hybrid, but amount of time required to raise your skills will make you SW slave. Funcom did it again. Created another MMO with quest grind routine similar to what AoC was in the beginning. I think SW should just release as F2P, they'll make more money on selling things in a cash store.

Moving on.

Zombies will always be popular with a good amount of people.  Sorry you didn't seem to enjoy the game though, I'm taking a very wait-and-see approach to this one.

You played 2 hours, in a starting zone for one of three factions.

Yet just from that you can tell that people will cancel within 1-2 months after launch? Well hello Ms Cleo, your crystal balls seems to be malfunctioning.

hm, not a single point i'd agree with, grats :)

i will only reply to your last one tho, the rest seems to be trolling anyway ^^

hybrid: did it from minute 1. took me ages to go there, seriously, had to go through 2 whole dialoges and a training session with cpt templar.

no idea where your opinion comes from, but i'd say you didn't understand it dude ^^

get a starter weapon from the intro quest, buy a 2nd weapon as soon you arive in kingsmouth and BAM; you are set for your hybrid. in my case it was a dd with tanking abilities and heal. what else should be more hybrid....

uh, and fallen earth didnt even last  an hour after i logged in for the first (and last) time.

Boring = not fun.  No need to be redundant by using both terms in a sentence.

I had a lot more fun with TSW than I did with TERA, I guess it's just a matter of taste. I found the quests better than most mmos, especially the investigation ones (did you get try those out? You would have known if you did)... I spend hours trying to figure out some of them.  I played TSW beta to the end of all the avaiable quests in the beta weekend and I was left wanting more more... in TERA I wish there were less, it's poor.

The only mmo with more varied and interesting quests, to me, is.. well none in my opinion. MMOs will always have kill quests but not having all your objective location handed to you and actually having to make you think is something from the dark ages of mmos (like Asheron's Call where there were no journals wotsoever).

The zombie area is only one zone in the game, the other zones have completely different themes. I really enjoyed the zombie theme though and the astmosphere for the whole game, I found it very immersive. \but I just love the zombie thing in general.

There are plenty problems I have with the game. The combat system IS pants, as are the animations. The skill system actually started to piss me off a bit the more I played. TOO many skills and too little skill slots, it works for GW but you had a team of heroes there so you could utilise more of your fav skills with them.

This MMO is not for you, sorry but you seem to be looking for a race t the end, sword and elf, without any thing that is hard.

I say this becouse after only 2 hours you gave up.

You did not put any points or facts or examples of what you did or where the issues you see are. 

This is typical of someone that had no intent (consciously or un-consciously) of giving a MMORPG a chance.

Your hart is in some other game (maybe SWTOR), I hope you find what you like.

Looking through the decks, I think that the longer you play you'll be replacing those early skills/abilities in the first tier with others in the higher tiers.  With all of those being locked, you didn't have the opportunity to work towards opening those up.  If you clicked on the deck, you could read the description of the ability at the bottom of the left hand column.  Still, it does it make it challenging deciding on which abilities to equip.

      What too many people dont seem to understand is that is coomon for most games......If a game doesnt hook most of us in the first couple of hours, then it most likely wont hook us after 200 hours.....Sorry but that is just the way games go most of the time......There are hundreds of other options out there, many of them free, so there is no reason to play for hours on end to decide....If he/she doesnt like it from the get go, that is their choice.

This is so true.  Many of the games that I used to pay a subscription fee for have gone free to play.  Any new mmorpg needs to be compelling enough for me to pay $60 plus a monthly subscription fee to make me choose it over all the other options out there.  i don't feel the need to slog though hours of gameplay searching for the diamond that may or may not exist.

Sucks to be a mmo developer nowadays.

By his comments, he did not play the game and if he did, he was lost because the game was not holding his little hand , so he got annoyed because he didn't understand it, I'm glad another person we don't want.

So glad this game will keep the immature and annoying people out that like to complain, Thanks you God, Funcom you finally did it, !!

Being a Developer yes it does, thats why the smart ones do not make MMO's anymore because gamers whine about every darn thing there is on the net, and expect a perfect game and they want it for NOTHING!!!

gamers today me me laugh....

Me too. Provided that Funcom delays release. At this point, the game is simply not ready.

So let me get this straight, you played a game for roughly two hours and you can asume that the whole of the game is utter garbage? What are you smoking!

The quests not fun and similar to SWTOR? You sir did NOT play the game, I've been playing the game all weekend non stop, played every single quests I found, yes found, most of the quests out in the area of Kingsmouth you have to find, which could be a dead person , item, ect ect. Anyhow, got through all the quests and Teir 8 of the main story quests and just loved the game, Yes the combat could use work but you know what? It works, the more abilities you get , the better your character gets,everything works.

There are afew quests in the kingsmouth area that you can to research either A: Online or B: through books, I.E. The bible ect.

It just seems like to me you are here just to troll and get arise out of people who actualy enjoy the game.

I will say that this game won't appeal to everyone because you actualy have to think about certain things even in how you attack mobs.

so the bottom line is:

Combat-Fun and exciting ( At higher levels of skill ) Also could use some work on the lower end

Quests- Amazing and well detailed ( Real world history,myths legends come to life, whats better then that ? Try trolling that mr troll LOL )

Atmosphere-fantastic, much like Left 4 Dead , supernatural and resident evil ( kingsmouth area )

Lasting appeal/vaule? From a veteran MMO player( Madden UO and EQ , and all the rest up till Tera) I will be subscribed for a VERY long time. This game brings back and challenge that has long since passed and had been forgotten, it's nice to use your brain in completing quests again!!!!

Long story short,

Any of you that are on the fence, if you like Supernatural/Da Vinci code ect, you'll like TSW and if your a veteran MMORPG gamer you'll like the challange that this game offers, I could go on and on but I won't, it's a great game and it's worth picking up, don't listen to these other guys who " Claim" they have played it because clearly, they have'nt, they will stick to their candy ass games Like WoW , and thats fine, but just don't listen to them, they know nothing about what a true MMORPG Truly is!

I played it for half an hour at best. I don't know if it's on my side, but I didn't know what to do after spawning in an multiplayer area directly after the opening cinematic. I spent that time aimlessly running around trying to find any quests or any guidance/direction I should take. Wow, it felt like some bad f2p title in the early days of the genre. Maybe I will give it another try sometime, but the first impression was bad.

They will not hold your hand here. This is a shock to a lot of WoW/Swtor/rift/Aion gamers. From the ability wheel to the crafting to the questing, it's a wide open world full of stuff. I think many of us wouldn't have it any other way.

 I don't get either of these comments. You get a quest that tells you exactly where to go with markers and everything so...yeah...

Now there are some later on in that game that involve figuring things out on your own but the beginning is pretty much hand held to the max. As it should be for beginners since not everyone that plays may be experienced in mmos.

I love the game personally. It's a great change. I just hate the tradeskill system... personal again.
