"I won't repeat everyone else's assessment and note that Darkfall has "potential" - it's a solid, enjoyable game if you give it half a chance and play it on its own terms. I haven't played nearly long enough to give DF any kind of objective score, but sorry Eurogamer, this isn't a 4 / 10 game."

2/10 but who cares about facts right? After all he spoke well so he must be right!

So he hasn't played long enough to give it an objective score but he knows that Eurogamer was wrong??

Loss of all crediblity in that statement alone.

Sorry, I play games on MY terms.

In before all the:

FINALLY someone who understands the greatness of DF! Great review, very accurate, unbiased.

A very objective review. Well done! That'll show them DF haters. Where are they now??

/sarcasm off.

Nice read, its refreshing to hear a review with some positives. But im still not convinced. I will wait for the15 day trial (If they ever give them).

"and play it on its own terms" - nice one. Of course it is awesome game if you ignore lack of content... If you like stupid politics system where bunch of kids imagine they do something great and important calling themselves king and emperors...  and zerging enemy cities or ganking newbies.. If thats all you need it is awesome game...

If you read the first impresson again, it will be explained. He didnt do as you just did. Assuming something was wrong just because he didnt understand it.

He actually played for two hours. Doing many different things and experienced the gameplay. And anyone knows that Eurogamer didnt even bother to play it. They did the same thing as you did.

Wow it amazes me that just because it's a positive review you guys just attack it for no reason, eurogamer gave it a score of 2/10 or 4/10 w/e and they only played for what? 9 hours? I'm not a fanboy I haven't even played DF but the "trolls" sure are hypocritical.

Edit: I'm not actually defending this review or DF I've personally given up on trying to play this game but I hate people that just attack someone's credibility because their opinions are different than your own.

I played for about 2 hours last night. That that's the amount of time that the now infamous Eurogamer reviewer played the game is no coincidence - I wanted to see what I could see in just about the same amount of time.

If readers choose to accept this review despite the short time spent playing, all arguments that EG did not spend enough time in game are moot.

This is not a review. Only a first impression. All haters can relax.

He means that it's obvious, even from only playing for 2 hours, that the game is better than 4/10. Remember, Zitron rated Darkfall a 2/10 and that was only after playing it for 2 and a bit hours, and most of that time was spent in the character creator.

But Tasos complained that Eurogamer only played for several hours between two accounts.  This guy plays for only two hours and it is all good because he said some good things. 

This type of hypocracy is why people hate Darkfall.

*holds fist up to mouth in a trumpet like gesture

Daaaa Daaaa Daaaaaaaaaaaaa!

"Charge!"

Yell the haters as they quickly consume the thread.......

Regardless, nice find OP.

I am sorry but where are you getting the impression that supporters of Darkfall are saying anything good about this review? All I can see in this thread is haters attacking the review because it is positive about the game. If there is any hypocrisy here it is coming from the hater camp.

+1 for logic. +10 for not saying "mute"

If you read the first impresson though there is a very valid point being made. If dying and losing everything, often, bothers you you won't like this game. If your skin is thick enough you might. It's a big if though.

You might want to read the "First Impression" and the posters' responces to said words... things will become more clear for you.

Don't get me wrong. I not arguing the merits of the review/impression itself. There will be enough people who choose to take up that fight already. It just seems, as with anything that has it's fans and detractors I suppose, that there is an ever-moving yard stick with which the standard of 'acceptable' is measured. In this case, a few hours are not enough to dislike the game, but the same amount of time is enough to speak generally positive about it. That just seems a bit hypocritical.

I think you're the one who needs to read here. Almost every post since the OP is trying to trash the review.

It's OK though, I realise now you're just another irrational MMORPG.com poster.

I think we must talk some about the Eurogamer REVIEW, and this Tentonhammer FIRST IMPRESSIONS.

When we read the Eurogamers review, we could see that the person writing it had not played the game. If he would do the same thing to WoW, about ten million people would notice it. Same with DF, the ones playing noticed it.

Now Tentonhammer played for the same amout of time. And you can quickly see he did actually play the game. He got the looting "wrong" thou, i guess he will learn how to use the "F" key instead : )

What Eurogamer did with his two hours ingame, noone knows.
