Pretty fuckin' late... review.

@Razeekster I think it can be hard to get into UO now because it's so outdated.

I guess new player is a unicorn out there. There were always private shards and they have

much better worlds and community believe me on that.

For people who played UO it is special because it would be first really good MMO.

Most basic ideas you see in today MMO games were developed in UO.

It hope wouldn't be surprise to you that every major MMO developer had some history with this game.

So it is special... It has set the tone and fundaments for the this genre and shaped it.

It's hard to get into for all the same reasons as any game of the nineties.

Yes now I see there is not so much rush anymore but weekend two keys dissapeared in something like 2 hours.  It's third weekend so the curiosty of many may now be quenched. Most of those who played wait for the release because each weekend get characters wiped. There is rly nothing to come back to.

Victor in ideal world we wouldn't be impulsive and as easy to manipulate as right now but the fact is that is our nature you are praising reason while one third of Diablo's 3 initial sales were made in preorders. Blizzard told us they wouldn't release unifinished game and they did... we are closing in on a year from release and there is still no promised PvP and horrible necesity of always online was suddenly not so necesary when they sniffed extra dollars on console market.

Back in the day every game had something called demo version that went along or even before game release. Well I don't live in usa so it happened that english demo was available before distribution had game localized and released here.

No big company would release a game without demo it was a form of fair promotion like "Hey that's our new game play few hours and see how you like it!".

As soon as serious marketing teams showed up the demo versions became something of rarity up to almost non existent. Because if people play demo and judge that they didn't really like  the game that would be devastating on initial sales. So the demo versions started to come out month  after the release. Now the demo version show up months after release (if at all) in different format like steam's free weekends. Biggest titles don't see demo versions at all.

We can't avoid that piracy became form of unlimited demo for people that don't feel like this industry constant lies about what the game has to offer is fair.  Some people have very limited budget and are only willing to support companies which games they liked a lot.

I am not sure how many are left, but I was just able to get one from curse. Good Luck!

 

Thanks man !

I warn everyone about this game as of now it's not worth $60 initial price.

20-30$ would look like reasonable but IMHO game should launch as F2P now taking that in mind.

my radar is beeping ripoff  game that's not worth full day of playing ( just opinion ) my issue here is that it's not fps and it's not rly good shooter either so why would you bother.

Nice from defiance that they announce early on that just this year they want over 100$ from you 59.99 plus dlc pack 39.99 now and what out of promotion 10-15$ per DLC

Greedy tactics always lead to disasters in MMO genre I don't think this game go near 200 thousand sales this year.

I'm looking forward to Frirefall period.

That would sum up why defiance might have hard time being really sucessful

man Defiance Beta is under NDA didn't you at least glimpse at titles when you press [I agree] ?

If you go on about details what do you expect. You agreed to not discuss them people like you make mods life horribad.

Yep they release Fighter as two seperate classes no DnD progression hurts me the most.

Beside Guardian and Great Weapon fighter theres allso Battlerager and my favourite Tempest fighter so yeah they release half of DnD fighter class and just one "build" of other classes. Also the build thing in PnP is not mandatory you can always free pick talents and feats as you see fit.

I love the tempest and I'm sure I won't see him at all in this game.
