In a stroke of pure irony, this shows just how much value can be assigned to "correspondant" reviews regardless which side of the fence they come down on. Fans can dismiss this as as non-professional review done by a fan of xyz game and detractors can dismiss correspondant reviews on this site as being done by blind loyalists to the game. Everyone is happy...i think...

Careful parts of the sky may hit you, get your tinfoil hat out. . .

I have no reason to believe Tasos either, if he wants to prove that his game is not a pile then release free trials.

 

QFT.

 

Guys you do understand that they have more demand than server capacity?
They don't need a trial.
Whoever is playing the game is enjoying it.

Also read John Wood review (sort of) of Darkfall "The Conversion of a Self Proclaimed Carebear".
If you don't believe the fanboys and Tasos, you should believe a self confessed carebear whuich is also the owner of this site, so I believe he is fairly unbiased.

Aventurine are retarded in many level, distribution, planning and communication, but the game is great, and can only get better.

There is no way DF deserve a 2/10.
It is 10 times better than AoC, WAR and all this shit.
Eurogamer is just a shit site for allowing this reviw to be published.

A reason they might've not been able to play for so long is that the game is so terrible they couldn't stand to stay logged in for that long.

 

 

Give it a break benthon. Havent posted anything worthwhile on the forums anyway. 

 

If that is the truth (about the playtime) it is obvious the reviewer is a fanboy of a certain game (most likely WOW) and decided to slam it.

 

In that case Eurogamer has serious issues and absolutely needs to have someone unbiased re-review this here game.

Well thought out there Mr. Einstein, you wouldn't perhaps be a little biased yourself?

Darkfall is the largest MMORPG game of its kind and this guy spent a few minutes playing(?)

Wait a minute....i thought the rose colored glass fanbois said that you had play Darkfall to understand it.... now your telling us there isa minimum time limit!!!!! LMAO!!!

 My daughter plays a game called Webkins world and it has more ppl playing it than Darkfall. DF is not the largest MMO of anything.

 

 

 

 

Still no convincing me to play with this kind of crap going on....

Played : WOW, LOTRO, COH/COV, EQ2, SWG, and WAR.

Defending themselves from a review? How pathetic.

When I said i had "time", i meant virtual time, i got no RL "time" for you.

From the top of the article:

"MMORPG.com Darkfall Correspondent Kelly Price writes this article talking about how a player can go from preferring PvE aspects of MMOs to liking one of the most hardcore MMOs currently available."

And at the bottom as well:

"Article By: Kelly Price"

So, don't think you can credit that to the owner of the site.

It dosent matter how long they played. I played Vanguard for 5 minutes, and the game sucks.. plain and simple. I can tell by reviews, screen shots and videos on you tube, the community and the Darkfail Forums that this guy made an accurate write up of the game. The people with common sense, AKA: the trolls, do not need to play the pos game to know it sucks. It is a niche game, yes. But sadly it is a niche game for the socialy inept.

In your opinion to highlighted.

I understand that they cannot support more people, but until the day of free trials they will get none of my money.  There isn't a shred of evidence that would convince me to fork out money for this game.

I am not commenting on the game or the review.

I find it very unprofessional that Tasos posted that message.  A developer attacking a reviewer (even if the reviewer is a complete idiot) and revealing information about an account  is one of the worst thing a game developer can do.  I do realize that much of what Tasos writes is correct, but it is not proper for a developer to do that.  It would be like someone at Bethesda/Capcom (or whoever) saying the reviewer of at such and such is a idiot and a liar.  That kinda just rubs me the wrong way as it comes off looking like a group of whiny little turds.

A professional company that felt they were wronged by a reviewer would release a statement or post a message fixing the contradictions, but would not attack the reviewer and call them a liar.   Post the corrections explain but do not give out account information to prove your point nor should you attack the reviewer. 

You would think that Tasos and everyone over there would have grown some tough skin do to the amount of dislike/hate this game get, but no they act like a little kid.

I'm not even going to repeat myself to your silly points. I will just say that first, that's not a review, and second, John did not write it.

Lol. A fanboy of Darkfall calling a hater a fanboy of World of Warcraft. Get over it, World of Warcraft had many genre-defining advancements to it.

Just because the review was a bad one doesn't make it unbiased. It just makes the rose colored glasses you have on shine a little more red.

Its OK, just means no one else will review them. None of the large sites anyway.

i never read eurogamer's reviews most of them are usually pretty poorly done.  however i have never played darkfall so i cannot say how good it is or anything but the review is a little rediculous. who knows maybe the reviewer actually played the game. personally since ive read pretty bad articles from eurogamer im leaning more to tasos' side

You sincerely don't know why they can't do that?

If they can't have open sale, how the hell do you think they could have free trial?

Then you are not a gamer, simple as that. DF's foundation is pretty stable and the combat is fun. That alone should keep you entertained for a while, even if you don't like the game.

 

I hated AoC with a passion, and I still gave it more of a chance than that reviewer did DF.

What is your own estimate of your IQ?


 

I can think of many reasons they don't want a full-release.

1. They can't even handle one server, and don't have the team to support two.

2. The game is so bad, allowing it to be purchased by those with reminaing F5 keys would truly overrun the fanboi's spew of trash and the game would go down as history (quicker) as the worst MMO ever.

3. They don't have enough money because their product sucked. This is accompanied by the fact that Tasos is an complete idiot and lied repeatedly about how good his game is.

Probably more, but I'll be nice.

I completely disagree with you.  The review was so poor and full of inaccuracies Tasos should sue 'em.

What's the matter, can't come up with a proper insult? 

Allow me to reiterate this for you, if he wants to prove that his game is not a pile then release free trials.  I don't give two flying SHITS if they can or can't open free trials, if they want my money that's how they will get it.  Do you understand now?

No. I'm a hardcore gamer, I just stop looking at sh*t as soon as I smell it, not after I've stepped in it and eaten it.
