One things for sure I'll never trust a review from Eurogamer ever again, but thankfully I have a mind of my own not like the obvious brain dead sheep that wont play a game just because Eurogamer tells them not to.

 

Sorry to break this to you, but what reputation does DF have? So far its reputation is that of a game that didnt deliver on its promises.

There are also a lot of people that love to eat cow testicles, the question is, are there enough to support a company selling them? Especially if they do a TERRIBLE job marketing them.

As far as trust, I keep saying this, and Ill say it again, Tasos&Co. are the least trustworthy of any MMO company ive come in contact with. I know used car dealers with more integrity.

I'm playing it and enjoying it, people have a choice they either take the plunge or dont , if you care about reputation so much then dont play it ... there ya go its not Rocket Science is it ?.

Ps if I'm counting sheep tonight to get to sleep what number are you ? I'll wave as your going over the fence if you like ...

I dont begrudge anyone their enjoyment of of the game. Hell Im jealous that you enjoy such a simplistic game so much, I wish I could. However in your previous post you were attributing their server problems with success, and again I assure you, that problem is due to a mistake on their part, not success.

Just as you think Aventurine can't possibly get more ridiculous, they outdo themselves immediately.

 

No that would be throwing a hissy fit on your forums and getting in very public fights, complete withe expletives, before banning the posters you're arguing with. I have seen Devs do that before.

Tasos is far from a paragon of virtue but that reviewer is equally a schmuck.

Well Ill give the reviewer one thing over Tasos. He was honest and didnt tell us what he thought we wanted  to hear.
 

No he told people on the band wagon he want's to ride what they wanted tio hear in the guise of a review, which is equally dishonest if not more so.

Seems you have me there Zymurgeist.

Since when is it simplistic  what part of it is simplistic?

As for the problems they are sorting it out as fast as they can I had some issues with Ping and getting the game running properly but I have it mostly sorted out now, you  know what ,I had more problems with AoC and Vanguard than I've had with Darkfall.

I personally feel the game is good enough to stick with and its getting better with every patch.  I think Darkfall is going be something special .. and take note (" I am not a so called Fanboi as people like to call them " )  I love games and have played nearly every Mmo there is, I became interested in PVP by playing Warhammer and I believe Darkfall is going in the right direction for me .. tbh I cant Stop playing at the moment because I find it so addictive.

I'm just a normal gamer ( tho an old one ) playing something which I enjoy, you have opinions too, thats great and If Darkfalls fails for whatever reason I for one will be very sad, they have dared to different IMO and I hope eventally they have success.. and if they dont then you can tell me on here I told you so if you like.

Darkfall is "special" alright.  Its clear to me now the entire thing is an excercise to see how much paying customers will tolerate.  Darkfall will open the door for many half assed productions because its now a known fact that people will pay money for anything.

I know i sound disrespectful to those that play it and I'm not really trying to single you out. But this game was marketed to be FAR more than what it actaully is.  It was suposed to be a living breathing UO like world. Instead its a husk of a mmo with Quake III game play.

Quake 3 had superior gameplay.

Oh man, another "someone hates this, should I hate it too?"

If you hav'nt played it then you dont know what your talking about .

I agree with Tasos when he says it's a niche game.

I never really enjoyed WoW, Lineage 2, Guildwars, and many games the mass do really love. Most of the time it's all about PvE, questing, and as soon as you hit level max, PvP. But then again, you would have to farm for hours in PvE dungeons in order to get the right stuff for PvP.

On the other hand, I loved Neocron and Face of Mankind because they were all about PvP and their sandbox side would give me the freedom to play them my way. Of course, these games didn't have the much bestest graphics ever made, or an awesome storyline with truly epic quests with incredible rewards for the players ... and because of all this, many players would just spit at them.

Right now I'm enjoying Darkfall online. I'm not saying the game is flawless, but it doesn't mean it's not fun at all. Some of us will like it, many may not, but please, don't spit on it. Giving a bad reputation to a game that doesn't really deserve it may scare some potential players who may have really loved it.

I know it, it almost happened to me. When Darkfall launched, some feedbacks were so hateful, I was wondering if I should really buy it right now ... which I didn't. I waited for a couple of weeks before realizing I was so bored with the current mmo, I had to try something different. I finally bought Darkfall and I must say : I don't regret it.

It's a niche game for PvP lovers and players who enjoy a great hardcore gameplay (as UO and SWG precu were) ... at the expense of awesome graphics with lolshaders and the ability to fly at level 10.

You can flame my post, doesn't mean you have a point.

Edit: yay for first post after 2 years.

Answer to OP: No.

Darkfall is a terrible game but the thought is good and the effort genuine. Other games like Mourning were basically scams and I dont feel Darkfall is a scam. It is just a terribly implemented game.

I have not played Darkfall as of yet though I would like to try it out some time down the road when it's gotten some polish and bugs worked out. I could care less if Tasos logs are fake or not, it doesn't matter to me. I have never been one to trust reviews of a game, I have seen too many good games get shitty reviews and shitty games getting a good reviews. I do enjoy reading well written reviews of truly terrible games so I though I would give this review a read and I have to say it was one of the worst written reviews I have ever read, the reviewer is so full of bias and comes through so clearly in his words its rediculous.

"anarchic control system"  WTF is an anarchic control system ? Does the control scheme support anarchy or something ? Nice try at being clever but completely pointless words.

The reviewers criticism of the loot and bag management system was nothing more than a childish whine and not a review of the system. The system is the way it is for a reason and even though I do not and never have played Darkfall I fully undertsand why it is the way it is. Then the review just proceeded to slagthe game because its an FPS style game. Well too bad for the reviewer that not all MMOs are just like WoW.

Anyways, the review itself was bad, and only 9 hours played to review an MMO ? Come on, thats pathetic. I'd expect 9 hours from some fat youtube reviewer but for a supposed professional writer I am sorry. Spend at least a month playing the game 6-7 hours a day to review an MMO please. It's like those guys that play the Eve tutorial for 5 minutes then feel they can review the game fairly based on that.

Sites like Eurogamer wait to see whats popular or unpopular and then review based on how many people they can attract to their shitty website, this guy should be sacked, one of the worst example of obvious bias I ever seen, and yes I'm playing the game. Nearly every in the review was false and it was obvious he had'nt hardly played at all.

After all do think if everyone on the forums were praising Darkfall he would have written the review like this ... no he would'nt he's seen the amount of ridiculous and unwarranted hatred for the game and jumped on the bandwagon ... simple as that really .

Oh and yes it has got issues . and no its not perfect but what Mmo has'nt had problems eh ? Not many thats for sure.

Glad to see your not one of the countless sheep without their own mind ! Hope you are enjoying the game , I certainly am.

I would never expect a small budget game like Darkfall to be bug free right away. Like Edell I used to play Neocron and I was in Eve at launch when it was a small budget niche market game and everyone was saying how bad it was and how it was gonna fail. If the devs believe in what they are doing and work at it then Darkfall will succeed like Eve did.

Here's one of my favorite quotes from the review that really shows how narrow minded the reviewer is. It's truly laughable.
     "Worse still, the entire economy is player-driven"

I will definitely be trying out Darkfall in the future.
