Defiance yes or no?

From the beta, very much yes. It has a lot of potential from what I played.

no

no

I played the beta for an hour and didn't really like it. Maybe it's just not my kind of game... or maybe it's simply bad.

Yes!

Tried the beta out, it was really fun playing with a couple of other people but if you rather play solo, the missions get rather hard

Somebody who isn't me and wouldn't think of breaking his NDA was in since early alpha, and spent a lot of time testing the game up until shortly before release. Here's his perspective on the matter:

Stay away. It's not worth the $60 price tag, and it will be $30 in a couple of months at most. While it's not a bad game, it has some major issues that are went unfixed for months, and from what this person has seen, most likely won't be fixed. This person is a huge fan of Trion, and it pains them to say such things about them, but the sad reality is that this is a closer to a cash in money grab tie in game for a big movie than it is a stand alone MMO.

Yes! Such a fun game.

Don't get it now. Wait for the reviews.

It looks decent, but not for the price of $60.

I'm assuming it is like Guild Wars 2 and having to only pay once to play the game.

Yes

Played the beta, didn't really like it. Looks quite generic to me, same old unnecessarily stupid and annoying quests and kinda same old gameplay we've seen in the other 858231 MMOs. I'm sure you can make a better use of those 60 $/€/whateverthefuckyoupaywith.

Just my 2 cents.

I do not like MMOS very much, and that seems overpriced in my opinion.

soul reaver is better

I bought it blind and like it very much. Have played it like 10 hours now... so YES

nope

just wait until it becomes f2p

I participated in both the beta and the alpha (And I'll be streaming it on twitch tomorrow if anyone wants to ask direct questions or just wants to see the game- not sure if I can post a link here or not to my stream, so I'll refrain unless I'm directly asked) and have some input from the late beta.

[EDIT]: Haha, just to clarify, this information was gathered today (from friends playing) or during the NDA release beta; I streamed a good portion of my play that weekend which I could also link to someone if they really wanted, but while I haven't watched it, I'd guess the link below my post will be more helpful. :)

**BOOK OF GAME INFORMATION START- SHORTY SHORT SUMMARY AT BOTTOM!**

Here is my long two cents on the game (And a little on the company- remember this is all my opinion look at things yourself, too):
First off, Trion is a great company, they have some glitches, but having played their games and having up customer service etc they have always been great about listening working with and using input from their players.

The game itself I think is completely worth the $60 if you're a fan of shooters (Can't really say FPS- it's a TPS). I'll hit a few noteworthy points that I've had people express concerns about or will clarify gameplay information etc:

The game has a really good storyline, characters that have actual personalities that fit they're environment, funny, but in a hardass realistic way. (This is a big selling point for me). The storyline can be completely solod if desired, as another poster said they can get difficult, but it is certainly doable.

The weapon choices are pretty good, and they can be modified (adding in new clips, sights etc. to slightly modify stats).

I enjoy the perk system, and you customize your character with perks (Which you unlock as you "level up")

Vehicles are just fun, there are some issues with a bit of clipping in to certain environmental objects, and if it SERIOUSLY bothers you that you can't smash in to the ton of other players vehicles around when doing open world PvE... well, remember that this is a MMO, and threading through 50 other players at an ARKFALL would kind of be a crappy time.

The enemies scale in difficulty depending on people around the area, so grouping doesn't automatically make everything way easier. They also have weak points you need to aim for- which are different, sometimes between elite and normals, or just different class of enemies (EG- Hellbugs have weak spots in places where they are "glowy" usually, taking down Monarchs and Raider tanks takes specific firing combos etc.)

I personally like the menu, some people have a serious dislike for it- I suggest anyone who gets it takes a little bit to familiarize themselves. You can open the inventory(i), equipment loadout(l), map(m), perks (k I believe), etc with just their corresponding buttons, but the entire menu is linked, so if you want to access something else quickly- just hit the space bar guys- you can access settings right there which is where all the video/audio/account/logging in out etc. options are.

Ammo isn't really an issue in the game, YES you can run out, and I have more than a few times, but generally you'll end up with more than enough while you're fighting (Unless you're missing a whooooole lot) and you can find ammo caches around if you keep an eye on the minimap.

Beyond just the storyline quests, there are many sidequests to complete. Reading them (If you're interested in the story, they mostly have pertinent to the game information, it isn't just go kill this cuz blah blah kind of quests for the most part, you gather some kinds of resources etc now and again. There are also challenges which are fun little things to do to try and net a higher score than people you know. (There are known issues with some of these where they will bug out- so some people end up with stupidly high scores at the moment, I know Trion is aware and trying to get them straightened out)

As you go through the storyline you can phase in to friends "realities" (I guess you'd call them) to help them out if you are past them in a location where something changes.

There are co-op "instances," I guess you could call them, where you queue up with your group to complete objectives.

There are PvP matches, much like queueing for a map in counterstrike or whatever other FPS/TPS game, hold the base against enemy team for points etc, as well as shadow wars (Also PvP related, but I am honestly hazy on this, I never tried it, I think it's some kind of open world PvP thing against other people that are participating in the shadow wars? not sure).

A few specific bugs/complaints I've heard of are:
I've had a friend fall through the map, a few more had a bit of trouble with the phasing, I know that some of the quests can bug out in places so you have to leave the area or phase in and out with a friend to fix, I mentioned vehicle clipping, A touch of rubberbanding- but I haven't had that in a while (Guessing they stabilized the servers more), the ability to jump while shooting really annoys people in PvP and a lot have asked Trion to take the ability out, mobs will get stuck in things occasionally, I did get stuck once, I had the explosions in a cutscene seem a little.. supar to me (only one cutscene), and probably a few other things are still in there (And heck I probably missed some major stuff that didn't even occur to me). Most of these I'm pretty sure Trion is working on or may have already fixed- but just from the end of the testing period.

****SHORTY SHORT SUMMARY HERE FOR NONBOOK READERS!*****

In my opinion- this game basically worth the price of a standard single player game for the storyline and general FPS properties, which is what it's listed at, though it could use a bit more polishing; I think it's pretty darn decent now. Many will say generic- only so much you can do with a shooter unless you add in crazy powers or something, and it isn't like that hasn't been done. With all the added on bonus' of MMOness, a large persistent world (which will expand), teaming with friends, the online PvP, co-op, "guilds", events, etc. it's much more appealing. Plus, with the amount of content Trion likes to add in to their games, you can expect a lot to come out of it in the future, which is appealing (at least to me). Not to mention the pretty darn good support, sense of humor, and a willingness to listen to their playerbase I've seen/experienced from Trion.

Make your own conclusions:
