As to its sandbox systems - we can all agree gameplay makes the game and Archage may or may not deliver.

As is the case with every other game ever made and in production at the moment.

The religious have obviously begun to worship their new prophet with an unsettling zeal.

It's but a handful of excited gamers. Nothing unsettling to see here.

When it comes to graphics, animations, effects, style and setting archage has already dropped off my radar as a behind the times generic asian fantasy...

What hasn't been done to death nowadays? (--->) Triple A (<---) sandbox/themepark hybrid games with awesomeballs graphics and quality.

the controversial Secret World is already doing all of these things so much better.

Controversial as in what? That it pretty much flopped and it's a miracle the company hasn't gone under yet? That it's a niche of a niche title?

Of course the time between now and release could see some revolutionary changes but lets be honest - weve never seen those revolutionary changes any other time.

Huh? People (the few I see) are excited about a couple of features. Nothing more, nothing less. No-one's waiting on any kind of "revolution" to what's in the game now.

By the time this is released the game im supporting may well have a competitive level of sand in its own box.

By Funcom? Okay, hold your breath starting...now! ;-)

Ill stick with what I have rather than become a flagellant for this lacklustre coming saviour.

Lacklustre? Subjective.

Is 'flagellant' even in the proper context here? What do you mean precisely? >_> I see no-one whipping themselves over this title.

You were free to pass on over this thread. As you were free to post a comment knowing full well you'd get a response. Here, have some attention ;-)

Sadly yes he used flagellant properly, as in one who whips themselves in an ecstatic religious fervor.

Other than that, mis-guided and incorrect on most every point.

OK then, AA doesn't suit his tastes, fine then. He needn't come just to be a underinformed nay-sayer. His most telling remark was the 'asisn' comment, just a bias he's not willing to even try to overcome. 

As far as I can see, even the dx9 version is superior to most all existing MMO fare. Upgrading it to dx11 looks to be bringing it on a par with the best out today.

The game looks great.

Btw I suggest you guys do not waste your time on that TSW person. It was most likely a troll post anyway. The closer to the launch the game gets, the more of these posts will be here. If you try to deal with them all, you wont have much free time left. It makes sense to discuss with someone who attempts at constructive criticism, but this...
