the shit never ends with this game. its evident the game is shit. it started with a 3/10 then a 4/10 then a 6/10 and now a 7.4/10? seriously, I think something is amiss here. i count the days til this game goes under and we no longer have to hear crap from the rabid fanbois and their ravenous counterparts about this butthole of a MMORPG/FPS or whatever u want to call it. a turd is still a turd no matter how much you try to pretty it up. 3.4ghz Phenom II X4 965, 8GB PC12800 DDR3 GSKILL, EVGA 285 GTX 1GB, 640GB HD SATA II, BFG 1000WATT PSU.

Whoa wasn't one thread about the same strange review enough? The first savior of Darkfall already posted the review about half a month ago. Was this just because mmorpg.com recently gave Darkfall a review that it deserved, one of the worst ratings of all games on this page? Equally which review will be pulled it can not make Darkfall better than it actually is. I don't understand for what reason you are still trying to convince people that Darkfall much better than all the reasonable reviews and comments of critical players showed before but this may remain your secret.

These guys from Total PcGaming at least know their job they professionals and host a printed magazine. 7.4 is more appropiate for a rating for DarkFall. -----MY-TERMS-OF-USE-------------------------------------------------- "There was suppression of speech and all kinds of things between disturbing and fascistic."

"7.4 is more appropiate for a rating for DarkFall." Only if the scale is 0 - 100

I'm sorry, but since all the fanbots declared the mmorpg.com review invalid because it was only 2 pages long, I'm going to have to denounce a review that has two 1/8 of a page sections which wouldn't even make 1 page combined. |

Idiots like you need to stop misusing the term "sandbox". Just because you have the freedom to do something doesn't mean you're guaranteed to be a success in it - That is sandbox. You have the freedom of choice, you aren't guaranteed that every choice you make will be artificially designed to have the same outcome like in a nonsandbox heavily scripted game. EVE is a fairly sandbox PvP game, but you also won't experience half the game really has to offer without a good corporation - And darkfall is exactly the same in that regard. Players are smart enough to pool their efforts and travel in groups to increase their chances of success. You have the choice to do the opposite, but as in life there are consequences for your choices, and that is part of being a sandbox game. Choice and consequence. Just because you can't personally have your own city and take on an alliance of 1000 people by yourself doesn't mean the game is not sandbox, it just means you're a WoW style carebear who has been coddled to believe they are a special snowflake who need not ever rely on others to accomplish something in a game.

Tbh.. who cares? You only get ONE release and they botched that and screwed a bit of the current fans over in the process. When you create a niche game and you alienate a portion of your core demographic in the first couple months you have sorta doomed yourself imo. I crave a sandbox with clan pvp, politics etc. Tbh I want another SWG but the pvp there was special forces and Rebel/Empire focused, I thought it worked but if a game came out with the core of SWG and full on pvp I would be all over it. The fact is Darkfall simply isn't the sandbox open pvp world that most wanted or expected. Its a shell of a game that has a population that makes SOE glad they have the population they do in SWG lol. I hope it all works out for the fans but tbh a good review from some small site isn't going to bring in droves of new blood no matter how hard you fans sell it. |

Yeah and by this time Adveturine realized that they need to pay of reviewers to get a good rating. I mean the first rating it got was 4 and then a few weeks later a 6 and now 7.4. So much BS i am never going to play the game nor read any more retarded threads about nr 42049240 reviews about Darkfall. They even got a spybot on their website to sniff emails to send out info to people that visit the website, I dont like being forced to do anything. Did they change all the Autoskilling and cheats that was in the game a few weeks ago? If not why bother.
Everyone knows that the eurogamer re-review was illegitimate face saving on their part. Every other professional review so far as been above 6. It's about time you blind haters accept that darkfall is a worthwhile game for those who are looking for what it has to offer. It may not have been what you personally were looking for but you need to get a life instead of trolling the DF boards railing against the game as the antichrist because it "stole" your money.

At some point the beating of their hate drum starts to ring hollow against the weight of facts. |

At this point DF is fodder for both sides of it. Mostly people find it entertaining to get other people all worked up. For 6 yrs the DF supporters have been some of the rudest, nastiest and otherwise ignorant fanboys in gaming ( I am not saying all) I suppose its nice to throw it back in their face that by industry standards ( not WOW or Tasos standards) the game is well fail. Sims Online had more people play it which is sad. Hell Second Life has more playing. Its not that its niche, its that it failed most of that niche and they moved on to that other game in the hopes it works. |

I think MOST people found that review the most reliable of any review that has been posted, and not just a "face saving" thing. Even Tasos commented that he wanted the guy to review the game. |

the part i find hilarious:
he doesnt talk about boats, or seige mechanics.
in fact he barely talks about any mechanics at all..
yet the fanbois call this well written......... yet the reviews that actually touched on the mechanics but gave the game a low score are poorly done.
hilarious.
best part of this review: "For example, combat absolutely does not require you to squint over the action bar as you would in other fantasy games. It’s fiddly and initially disorientating for sure (both the action bar and the combat), but you have to try to out-manoeuvre your opponent, and sometimes chase them down. But more importantly than that, you have to out-number them."
so the most important part of this pvp game, is outnumbering your foe........ gg..... great review. |

When and if you decide to discuss ideas and facts instead of doing these clever quoting repartees, then people might take you seriously. If you want to just continue talking to yourself, proceed as usual. I know that tackling well-organized ideas is harder than the simple hate post, but give it a try, will you? |

I play the game, the game is shallow, barely a MMO, it's a macro fest, a game of wearing WoW vendor bought items in battle, it's buggy, exploited and pointless. I am in a very good clan, I get the politics. So, tell me... Am I a hater or just someone who sees the crappy graphics, horrible horrible sound, disturbing game mechanics (macro while we sleep is better than play while awake) and terrible business practices of AV (Hey we need to charge you all again for the NA server because of publishing companies! - OOOPS it's US publishing it! Still charging you twice anyway!) as a bad thing? I like the game, but having said that I enjoyed Pit Fighter on the Megadrive, so that's my problem, what I hate hate hate is idiots like you who blindly suck the cold dark stem of Darkfalls cock without questioning it. And believe me, the only people who hate you more than me are sat in AV's office, you know, the guys who created this game, the guys looking for decent critiques. |

Darkfall getting a 7.4 what a bad joke, almost checked calender for 1 april. I reccon there might be some good parts about DF but its current state is just... well DF is souless and empty, its a fuckin pointless existence as of now with the company responsible for its development seems more interested in what some websites/reviewers type about their game instead of actually working on it. Giving DF a 7.4 is like saying Fallout 3/oblivion/kotor/etc was an 8 or 9 when it was only halfway in production, its fuckin ludacrysy. but hey the fanboys are pleased, now they can use that to brag about for another month or so. For me seeing someone pay for that crap makes me chuckle a bit, but hey atleast their having fun, good for them. I just wished they stopped being so defensive and admit to what their playing is below average standard with "alot" of issues.
