The game gets a C, which isn't too good. Although I still think the score is too positive. More importantly, This is the second review (after Eurogamer) which points out Aion's grind. Something IGN claimed the game didn't have, remember those liars? pc.ign.com/articles/102/1027688p1.html
Anyway, nice to see the truth is coming out.

op if at least the guy at 1 up had the decency to level til max level then make his review i would take note of his opinion but any review involving mmo that stop before having reached end game or arrive at end game too early (powerleveller) is in my view not even worth anything its like starting a private wow server and saying men wow is boring need a group ,of caurse lol its an mmo and for 1 up idea that aion is a grind all mmorpg and prob most mmo period are grind ,fury had a system that was diff but it still had grind gw max level could be reach almost at start but if you wanted anything accomplished you still had to grind any noob that say mmo grind is boring isnt credible ,since all mmo are full of grind no grind no mmo its that simple then you ll whine theres no content.play FREE REALM if you dont want to grind |

I don't really think it's fair to review an MMORPG until you've hit level cap. I don't care how bad the reviewer thinks it is, unless his boss says he wants a review of the game on said date. Which sucks because it's really not their fault in the end. I'm not really an Aion fan or anything. I got level 33 and 22 on an alt and I haven't logged in since out of boredom however, giving a review of an MMORPG pre-maturely is a little bit of a joke. At least experience the whole thing. I don't care if your opinion doesn't change and you still want to call it a gorgeous mmo with too much grind. I would hope said reviewer was on a deadline otherwise the dude/gal is the definition of a scrub. |

Who the hell still uses xfire, not the general population of an MMO that's who. You can't use xfire for any "real" stats, since more than half the population don't know/won't use it.

I think you ll see a very average sub base in the west. lol no surprise america doesnt play any game but wow ,oh they get 100 k might go to 300 k american player but thats it gamer in america just cant accept they are burned out of gaming too much wow pvp ,too mutch wow raid ,too mutch farming ,too mutch pk ,too mutch of everything ,the fact is lot of player in wow spent as mutch as their day job in time at playing wow i just wish the burned gamer would just step down from gaming ,till cataclysm come out, because now all these bogus review about game not even reached 25 % of content played are killing all game ,be it aoc,gw,war ,silkroad etc etc etc. and all the games cant be wrong 1 two maybe but since wow released ALL game were bad mouthed by gamer so i say all those game cant all be wrong WE ARE WRONG (GAMING COMUNITY) best is to take a year off gaming and come back later |

You just compared apples to oranges. Voting polls online mean jack obviously because of multiple posters. Voting polls in real life however is true statistics since the only means to vote is through the poll and it is also regulated so it can't be abused. Media surveys are useless, it's wasted tax dollars. Like i need to know that 500 people out of 1000 think that this tooth brush is better because _. It's irrelevant in the fact that the product/service is opinion based. Or how 736 people got sick from this out of 5000 well it's a high concentration of sickness however what about those 4,264 people that weren't. It doesn't mean jack.

XFire is not a reliable source for these kind of statistics, simply because not everyone uses it. Saying otherwise is........funny at best. "Skill has not cool downed!" |

Aion has enough xfire user to statistically gather a very REAL trend of playtime. Whether you dont persnally use it means nothing. Let me guess you never studied statistics? Im sure one day you will under what all the numbers mean. Aion v3 "RELOADED" - A glimpse into the future of the MMO genre http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PAM0wr7cZ8 |

It is my feeling that you can not review a game until you have actually played it. For MMO class games that means making it to the end game. To play for a few hours and call it a review is nothing short of dis-honest. In short, do it right or don't do it at all. I don't want to waste my time with some half-wit's half honest review of half a game or half of anything else. I use to term half wit to describe anyone that feels that an article about the first 15 levels should be counted as a review. On the other side of the coin, Has anyone reached max level yet? Hmmm... maybe it is too grindy. As for XFire, it is a accurate as any other market research company.

its not the exact number that is important in xfire its the fairly accurrate trimestrial rank you ll get a graph after 3 month if you record them and it will give you a fairly good picture of where player are true some game refuse to be posted there for obvious reason no game want to be seen in any position with an average play time of 20 hour a day lol, that would meaan their game is dead ,and true some other like cabal online use bot on dummy that auto attack 24 hour a day 7 days a week to raise their xfire ranking but i can say it doesnt move it enough to be worth talking about ,it just keep cabal in the first to 50 stop to be sure their game is seen as popular ,hell eq2 stays around the 110 spot and i bet they make ton of money last summer they had 400k paying player not bad for a game that is older then wow ,and had one of the hardest start in the mmo hisory |

I don't think you understand :). Xfire stats track Xfire users. Based on that, it is 100% reliable. However, since we don't know what percentage of the entire gaming community uses Xfire, how can the Xfire stats be reliable when viewing the community as a whole? Serously, are you that thick, or are you just trolling my case here? And insulting me doesn't help your case at all, unless your agenda is to show us you're an idiot. "Skill has not cool downed!" |

If the game feels like a grind by level 10...then...is it going to feel *less* grindy as the experience required to level raises? Sure, sure... Seriously, I don't get where you retards come off thinking you should pay money to play a game in which you have to suffer a certain amount to find the fun. If it seems like garbage from first run, it's *GARBAGE*. |
