Wait a second.  Isnt the cisco shown in the picture above also a "hacked' car?  Im fairly certain those car parts arent available ingame yet - neither through F2P nor paying for them...

Overall the game is amazingly fun for as simplistic of a gaming model as it is.  The customization idea is "nifty" and the gameplay reminds me of a basic dungeon crawler. Im not sure I'd say its worth $50 (the price I paid at retail) however, It will definitely offer you hours of fun.

 

SequenceLost,

 

Hey, thanks so much for the response! I'm just debating on getting it or not tbh. I wish you could only control 1 hero throughout the whole dungeon. Some reason being able to use 3 bothers me. >.<

 

I'm also trying to figure out if the community is still healthy enough for the online components to even bother.

 I understand your concern/issue with controlling 3 heroes instead of 1, but to be honest, after a day or two of playing it almost became second nature.  I found myself creating a set of 3 that was pretty well rounded and worked for the majority of any level we encountered.  As you progress you can also unlock the ability to create multiple "squads" of guys, so that should you encounter a set of levels in which your main squad doesnt work, you would still have a backup squad or two that you can utilize. 

As for your concerns about the community, I unfortunately havent put enough time into the release to give you a good idea of how good/bad that aspect of the game is.  If you do decide to pick it up, feel free to add me to your friends list though (ingame name: Decibel) and once APB-R wears enough on me (which may be coming very soon with some of the key issues I have yet to see them address) then you'll likely find me on it playing again :)

could give APB-Reloaded a shot.  Its F2P, still in beta at the moment, but overall G1 has done a pretty good job at making the game what it should have been originally.

Nope, because I'm the one who *wrote* that.

I design games with zero intent to find investors and make it happen. If I ever come through saying "I got the best game ever, who wants to pay me?", then flaunt that article around.

 You *Wrote* that huh?  Interesting..so based on your mmorpg.com profile vs. the writer of the above mentioned article, am I then to believe that you've recently had a sex change?

The beta and release of Sierra's "The Realm" (circa. 1996).  I'll  Never forget that beta as it was my first time beta testing a game and Sierra was kind enough to actually mail each of their beta players a Sierra game of their choosing for participating in it.  Man, those were the good old days of beta testing!  LOL!!

HP Pavilion Dv7 17 inch HD screen
2.27 Ghz quad core Intel Core i5 processor
4 GB Ram
500 GB Hard-Drive
Nvidia Geforce g105m graphics card

if the one taht costs $700 has a better graphic card then i would pay the 700 instead of this one, cos when u upgrade the video card youll spend like around 200 so.... (tho i dont know if this nvidia gforce gd105m is good or bad for gaming.... someone else should comment and tell

Here - use this to check out the graphics cards:

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

The higher the benchmark numbers the "better" the card.   (i believe these are already sorted from best to worst though).

As for the PC itself, the difference between a Dual Core and an I5 will be noticeable,  the difference between 4gb and 6gb wont be AS noticeable, but for gaming the graphics card is the biggy, get the best one you can find.  Especially since you can almost never upgrade it on a laptop unlike a new processor or more ram.

I dont thing the lag is fixable in a near future...the problem is deep in the core of the game...the game cant handle more then a few people online doing different stuff including terraforming...to play without lag they must put a hard cap of max online players of 100, if more people are playing at the same time the server starts to lag like crazy.

He should either get more people with experience to solve the problem fast or go the minecraft way, let the game have private servers run by players with a max of 100 players online at most.

 

Xsyon was suposed to be a sandbox with everyone playing in the same gigantic world, then after the first or second failed launch they decided to later make another server because they cant handle many players online, the truth is they cant have a true mmorpg game with these sandbox features running with more then ~100 players.

 

In 1 week time if they dont rollback again..and there are many villages, cut down trees, holes in the ground, walls everywere, mobs, pvp etc the server will be a lag feast....it becomes a lag feast even 12 hours afte a rollback.

 Thats quite possible. Are you speaking from personal knowledge?

Hopefully a solution prevents itself. If not, oh well.

 ^^ Wait, I'm confused? So you do hope the game fails ??

** A freudian typo I assume, but still hilarious considering the context of the argument. **

I played for roughly 2 weeks with the high-hopes that this game was going to be all that the developers promised.  Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately for me) I realized the error in my ways, and was able to get a refund 1 day prior to "pre-launch" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean anyways...)

Fallen Earth is pretty unique...

Since your asking for other ideas, thats another one you may want to look into.

Well now its official, WoW really is a Themepark MMO.

Wonder how many times folks will have to "grind out" the roller coaster before they can hit endgame content?

Radar - yes they are, but unfortunately its not getting much hype. 

Of course it doesn't help that MMORPG.com isnt giving it its own section even - they just keep tagging this under the old Planetside game link instead of doing it justice and giving it is own rightful section amongst the gaming list.

So your pet donkey attacked you??

Sounds like MO officially has Donkey Punch scripting in place now!!
