I like TSW for its setting and the investigation missions thats it. I only like the setting from an idea standpoint, i think they failed horribly in implementation. Its very odd when every single npc you talk to seems to know more about the *secret" world then you do. They could have done so much with this setting but just dropped the ball. As for everything else in this game its pretty standard. Even Fusang isnt all that impressive given it really has no meaning to it. The ability wheel is just a massive unnecissary grind. Its more a slap in the face to a true skill system then an actual attempt at a skill system. Even combat wasma step in the wrong direction, I mean how do you go from AoC a very skill intensive combat system to a subpar tab target borefest. Animations aren't even all that great to justify the combat system. "In the immediate future, we have this one, and then we’ve got another one that is actually going to be – so we’re going to have, what we want to do, is in January, what we’re targeting to do, this may or may not happen, so you can’t hold me to it. But what we’re targeting to do, is have a fun anniversary to the Ilum shenanigans that happened. An alien race might invade, and they might crash into Ilum and there might be some new activities that happen on the planet." ~Gabe Amatangelo |

TSW is a great change of pace from they generic fantasy MMO's that dot the gaming landscape. Is it the best ever? There is no need to even go there. All you need to say; it's enjoyable to play. |

By definition "the best mmo ever made" is subjective, you'll get as many different responses as there are mmo gamers. Only time will tell if TSW can hold it's own in the genre. Will they create an innovation that other games will copy, I have no doubt, every game in the genre has contributed something unique.
Can only take the wait and see approach to any new mmo, and you are the only person who can dictate whether or not it's to your tastes.

I can honestly say that after all the MMO's that I've played, The Secret World is the most original game I've played since EvE. Enemy AI and combat? Seriously? Folks, do you realize how much bandwidth it would require to be able to code this for an MMO? You want that stuff, pull your network and play a solo game. And how many games allow you swap active and passive abilities when the situation dictates? The more you play, the more active and passive tools you have in your skill toolbox. The more you level,the less time you spend LFG. Think about that. The stories are unique, the setting is unique, the skill wheel is unique. The only time I could ever need to roll an alt is if I wanted to play someone on a different faction. If how I'm playing doesn't make me happy, I simply start another skill. I don't have to delete characters or roll an alt for want of play style. PvP is fun and the rewards are great. This is the FIRST mmo where I customized my character and their appearance STAYED THAT WAY, unless I WANTED to change it later. Customer service has been fantastic. Any problems I've had have been addressed within the hour. I'll admit that the interface in the game could use a little tweaking, but that pales in comparison to what makes this game great. Folks, this game released FLAWLESSLY, and you still pick at it. Try it, give it a chance, you'll like it. Heck, it's only just begun and it has more content than most MMO's at launch.

"Not for me... :( Had all elements i liked but simply didn´t grow on me.. found gameplay extremely boring. It´s all about tastes i guess... glad some people are enjoying it though.." I'm curious as to how long you played? I'd be the first to admit a three day free trial is nowhere NEAR what you need to get hooked on this game. 14 days at least to get in there and figure out the differences between this game and others.

PvP is a mess, Fusang is just plain crap. What are you talking about?

I LOVE TSW, but until there is something to do other than nightmare mode dungeons over and over again, I can't agree with it being the best ever. The game has its flaws, but with a little love from the devs it can go a long way. If they add a couple fluff things to occupy my time I will be back in a heartbeat.

It's got the best quests / levelingever
Probably got the best dungeons ever too, though not many of them A good progression system for a themepark, as it has more in common with sandboxes like eve and uo. But best mmo no way. You've got all this originality while leveling, but end game unfortunately they bottled it and went the wow clone route, especially with the token grinding style of pvp. It's a shame pvp was quite fun in beta when we were all artificial geared for it and only actual pvpers bothered with it. Best current pve mmo - tsw Best current pvp mmo - eve Best current all round mmo - gw2 Best of all time - daoc (but badly supported since ea took over, exploiting is rife) |

TSW is it's own beast in my eyes. I dont think it really fits into any kind of category right now. I will say, that it's NOT a pick up/put down console type game. If you see the skill wheel and only think "ugh grind fest", then maybe a easier quick pick up type game is more your style. TSW is a book that requires reading.. I can jump into TSW for 2hrs and be more entertained then if I was watching TV or a movie (not to mention when i do watch tv/movies i think on how i can go make those characters in TSW..heh) They dont lie when they say there is ZERO need to rush and max out every single skill, hell, you dont even NEED to. Want to play DayZ but as a persistant MMO with character development? Want to be Gandalf and run around shooting fireballs with a sword? Like rockets and blowing up zombies? Wanna be the characters from Book of Eli? I AM LEGEND? National Treasure? Like Assasins Creed? The Matrix? Fable? I think you get the point.... TSW has it all. What amazes me more is the community maturity and helpfullness. Its great, I'm all for having fun, but the lame over used internet humor and selfish gear advertising that tends to follow F2P communities, is just non existant in TSW and its so nice. The best dressed person I've seen so far was wearing a shirt, jeans, shoes and some shades; not to mention that could of been his 'raid gear'; how is that not epic? lol This is also the first MMO where I will help and support the PVP community more then the PVE one. The more people that PVP for my faction, the more buffs we get. Win / Win. Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but Funcoms server tech for TSW is very cool, would be nice if other games stole the idea heh.. I hope they dont give in to the lazy whiner F2P crowd though...it will destroy TSW. |

The game is absolutly brilliant, I am having a blast experimenting with the different decks and skills.
I would not call it the best tho, I have still yet to find that game..... |

I think it was the best game of the year and best game in atlest the past 4-5 years. But no probably not the best game I've ever played. Its a fun game with a good storyline and fun dungeons that require thought and skill at the end game.
Spiritsever - AR/Ele - The Secret World Ashmaker - Ranger < Prophets > - Age of Conan - #1 in Kills Sweety - Sorceress < Infinite Darkeness > - SWTOR - 2.6K PvP Rating ??? - Pilot - ??? - EVE Symir - Swordmaster - Warhammer - RR100 Dreadnaught - Rogue - Rift |

Both TSW and GW2 were games that tried new things this year, and I think the industry is better for it. Some things succeeded better than others, but I'm happy that companies are taking risks and improving on design and mechanics. Neither is the best MMO ever made, but enjoying them just the same.

Decent game but far from being the best ever.
