    defiance

    Anyone playing this? I bought it on release day on ps3 and cant put it down. Its a bit clunky at times but its so much fun to play and I lose 3 hours in what seems like minutes! If anyone has it on ps3 feel free to add me my id is over there ???

    I'll probably be picking it up for Xbox on my birthday, but i'll see if there are any reviews by that time (not IGN ) probably Angry Joe or Total Bici, been waiting for a game where multiple people can fight one massive boss at once and........aliens!

    Haha yeah ign didnt really like it mate. To be honest I dont expect it to get rave reviews as it has its share of problems like all MMO games do for the first week or two. It ticks a lot of boxes for me though I love it

    Whats the gameplay like? From the trailers it looks pretty awesome fighting those massive aliens and hordes of 'em, but thats just a trailer.

    Its like that man but I can see why some people say its repetitive. I really enjoy the upgrade system for weapons and the way your character levels. Everything is available from the outset, and you dont really progress as you do in MMO games like world of warcraft (ie start at 1 fighting level 1-3 mobs and end up level 100 fighting elite mofos).

    There are things called ark falls where you fight massive bosses like in the trailers. If only 1 person is there all enemies are scaled so its possible to do alone. If 100 people turn up the enemies are scaled to that too. I did one where there were at least 50 players going at it...pretty epic stuff.

    There is also a story which is around 20 hours plus....episodic missions that tie in with the tv show and will updated bi-weekly, side quests galore involving rampages, time trials, survival missions etc....large scale pvp wars with 50 players on each team.....smaller skirmishes as well. The shooting mechanics remind me of masseffect 2 and 3....feels really satisfying, but as I said ssometimes its clunky as well.

    It has its issues but I really enjoy this game a lot. I think ps3 has had a much smoother launch than the 360 so you may want to read up on that. I expect reviews to be around the 7-8 mark as its nothing new, but I personally would give it a 9 at least.

    Thanks m8.


    My friend says that the game is pretty slow to start with and needs to be given a chance to get full potnential, im more of a gamer eho likes fast paced things and but do like the odd slow paced games, however these slower games only reach as far as Strategy games, i'll give this one a chance though.

    Dumb question: Is a subscription fee required for this game? If not, then I'd be interested in the PS3 version as there's plenty of room on my friends list and hard drive.

    My rubber arm has been all but twisted. We have similar taste in games (ie. excellent) and I wouldn't even have considered this game if it weren't for this thread. Going to look into this one now
