superfiasco

I've been wanting to play this game but am sad to see its $30 bucks digital download on xbox live. With websites selling the game for more I have even seen 70 bucks on amazon. I don't have a PC so I cant enjoy it for the 8 bucks on steam. :-(.

I would say I put about 10 hours into playing the beta. I must say overall my most(not all) of my concerns are gone. The game is more of a co-op game that happens to be in a MMO world. Here is some bullet points of some good and bad thought I had with my time played. Overall think of a mix of crackdown/gears of war/borderlands.

Good:

• Outside of the first day I never had any issues with lag.
• Story seems like it could be pretty good and had some interesting characters.
• Weapons seem to have a good variety to them. I did find myself needing to switch weapons for different jobs. You can of course go through the game with nothing but the assault rifle but it did have meaning to use the sniper to clear our some of the pack before running in.
• Co-op play works well and gives the game a little strategy as some of the enemies require you to hit weak points to get damage and its good to have someone holding the waves of enemys off when your trying to complete a task.
• Ark falls are really fun to do and its cool seeing a bunch of plays joining up at a spot to fight a large boss off.
• Vehicles are a great way to get around.

Bad:

• Though Co-op was fun I found it hard to know what was going on if you join a player that is either further ahead or behind in the story. I might have missed it or it might be in the full version of the game but it needs some kind of mission sharing so you can see what your task is or where you need to go.
• The game seems to be based around the idea of co-op so anytime the game makes you do something on your own in seems off putting.

Those are the key things that stick in my mind as I am writing I'm sure there are much more on both sides I am forgetting. I didn't include things such as mission diversity as I know the beta didn't have everything. I didn't get a chance to try everything such as really getting into messing with character options. I also didn't get a chance to do any of the death match.

If you have any questions about the game let me know I will try and answer them.

I am always hearing the same thing from the people thay have played it. That it feels generic.

Yeah it seems to be going over the radar. I watched both ign and gamespots 1 hour gameplay and it really looks good. It seems like borderlands with an mmo twist. The more I hear about this game the more I like the idea. But it does scare me with the fact this has no hype. I've never played any games from Trion but from the looks of review people seem to like their games.

Yeah sorry when i did an edit it kicked it out of the defiance game forum. Ive made the correction.

<p>I just heard of this game and am doing a little research into it. Overall it sounds really cool. I am generally not hearing any hype over this game. I was just wondering if there was anyone pumped for this game or will this just get lost in the pack?</p><p>One thing I cant seem to find out is how coop works. Can I play through this game like borderlands with some of my friends exploring and jumping in and out the events/death match stuff we may come across. Or can we only play together in "coop sections only"?</p>

If the dlc was 5 bucks I wouldnt question it. I stand alone a little but I really enjoyed dead space 3. But 10 bucks for 1 and a half hours is not a good price.Im not sure what kind of quality can justify that. I really want to play this but ill wait for the price to drop.

Does any know around what play time is for the DLC? Im only worried because I felt like the DLC for dead space 2 was not worth the money. Content and time play.

I am seeing a lot of gaming sites are positing a leak that dead space 4 has been cancelled because of lower sales numbers then had been expected. I really hope this is not true as Dead space is one of my favorite game franchises. I know its just a rumor at this point so I hope ea clears this up.
