  • ...something I wish I had more of. I've been playing this game for 3 days and now I have to stop because of school and work and it sucks.

    I just got a new computer; Intel duo quad core Q6600, Geforce 8800gt OC and 24 inch monitor. So I bought the game just because it came out, and it's so addictive like WoW was at the beginning. It's like a shiny gem of video game goodness.

    My first impressions were that the graphics weren't good enough, but they just grow on you. It's like WoW without the cartoony graphics. Please don't get mad at me for saying that, I don't have enough time to describe exactly what I mean by that, just that it is more gritty than WoW.

    There are lots of similarities to WoW, but I think these guys did a fantastic job with lots of little innovations, the game just looks and plays so damn tight. These are very new impressions of course, but I'd say anyone with a sweet rig and a good sized monitor needs to shell out the 50 bucks for this game. It's worth it. Now I just need to win the lottery so I can actually play it.

  • Just kidding, but really, it's much better when you try it on a high end machine. That is, if you're a graphics whore like me. It looks really really sweet. If you're level 80 you have no life btw.

• • First Impressions

  • Installing: Dang this took forever. Around 2.5 hours with downloading, kinda long but oh well.

    Account Creation: Pretty straightforward, the usual. Took around 10 minutes.

    Intro: If you like Conan, you'll love the intro movie.

    Character Create:  Quite satisfying. A decent amount of options and pretty cool classes and races.

    Graphics: I give them at least a 9 out of 10. This is what I hoped WoW would be: realistic design, lots of detail, beautiful artwork. I play with the settings on low, but with bloom and 6XAA. The game looks fantastic.

    Sound: Really crisp, nothing to complain about here.

    Opening quests: like youre usual game intro. Play through it and rescue a hot chick and bring her to town. Pretty fun combat, decent amount of items and equipment drop.

    Overall this is the best launch of any MMO in recent Memory. The graphics are just great and should play well on a fairly wide range of systems.

    I'm on the RP PvP server (Hyperborea or something) and can't wait to try out the PvP.

    Overall I like the game, but playing on a PvP server there are some things need to change.

     

    Loading Screen camping, this is pathetic. Something should of been in game from start about this.

     

    Instance Swapping running. How lame is it that you can fight someone and they can swap out of the instance instantly?

     FC needs to fix these on the PvP servers.

    Those do sound a bit cheesy, hopefully they fix those two things somehow. Should be gray when you zone in for 10 or 15 seconds so either no one can kill you or anyone who does gets penalized. Whatever, I'm just happy they FFA PVP whack jobs have a place to go now. Where I can kill them, that is.
