- Im not impressed with what i saw. Many character glitches, the graphics for some reason doesnt look that great, especially when you look at the system reqs. I personally see this game as severely overhyped. I just hope people wont be that disappointed when it doesnt reach up the high expectations.

- Hm.. nice video, and game looks great, but... the character dont match the background/scenery... they looks like they aren't from this tale...

- i thought this game came out already did it?
Yega(posted Sat Mar 29 2008)
- Everytime I see something on this game I get more anxious. Let it come and the killing begin!!!

- lol I like the argument that the combat is nothing new. Gives me a good chuckle every time. Not that long ago a dev on the official forums said that fatalities aren't really super common. Apparently once you meet the requirements to get a Fatality, (though I don't know what they are,) you then have a 10% chance to get one. I think the videos shows a great many fatality moves because they are the coolest part of the combat in the game. :) As to promises. They have made a lot of promises. But they've backed them up with detailed video on almost everything at this point. :)

- hmm looks great, but im afraid that some "kids" just wants to play the game because of all the blood... but it really looks interesting, no doubt :) but i guess im more of a WAR fan atm :)

- @Consensus: aoc does lots of promises, check out the many interviews. i testet the game at a show and i doubt they can hold them. the current video shows that you can constantly cut heads off and that red color splits everywhere (which is nothing new).
Talemire(posted Mon Mar 24 2008)
- See you all on the field ;)
Consensus(posted Sun Mar 23 2008)
- what are you talking about? they aren't talking promises, they're talking about features already in the game, hence the video footage.
Polyjean(posted Sat Mar 22 2008)
- I dont think they can hold any of all those promises.
russ67germ(posted Sat Mar 22 2008)
- Be prepared , I look forward to killing many of you!
Dudders(posted Fri Mar 21 2008)
- i dunno about the heads narrator. it seems pretty common. maybe it could be a result of how the killing blow is swung with the interactive combat system (i.e. you swing at the head for the kill and it will take their head off) or maybe it would just be like a critical hit or something. only one way to find out :)
Narrator(posted Fri Mar 21 2008)
- I'm kind of hoping beheadings aren't as common as they're insinuating. Beheadings kind of lose their impact when you see heads flying off every other bad guy.
Nasa(posted Fri Mar 21 2008)
- I have seen the video. Im not impressed with the graphics, the hair look like they wear painted paper bags and the legs on the horses looks wrong. I haven taken into account the low resolution of the video
Makestro(posted Fri Mar 21 2008)
- A lot of people are really looking forward to this game and Warhammer. AoC will be superior just because it will have free for all pvp. What is scary to some people, but once you take
adavis72(posted Fri Mar 21 2008)
- beta key plz:) great game guys keep it up i alrdy preordered my copy
arobi(posted Fri Mar 21 2008)
- The end of the video says 03.25.08 that is obviously a mistake since its not out until may now.

- RE: jormm - I'm getting sound on both the Windows Media and Quicktime versions fine and haven't had a complaint from others.
AmazingAvery(posted Fri Mar 21 2008)
- thanks mmorpg.com for putting this up. Other versions had the end missing. Cant wait to see the large scale PvP!
jormm(posted Fri Mar 21 2008)
- cant seem to get sound from this video wuts up or is it only me...
Tenebroso(posted Fri Mar 21 2008)
- same here, cant wait fellas, i hope this game can deliver its promises, and NOT get pushed back for another 6 months.
tachgb(posted Thu Mar 20 2008)
- AOC + WAR = MMO goodness. 2008 is the year of MMO's !
malterik(posted Thu Mar 20 2008)

Tordak(posted Thu Mar 20 2008)
- Watched it twice and with every passing day my anticipation for this release builds. I'm on the very edge of my chair. Come on May!!
