Are you hardcore enough

I am not.

I am currently training my skills for Darkfall online. I still have not graduated from DFO bootcamp. In case you do not know, this game is so f****** hardcore, most people such as I , are not even uber enough to BUY It!

Today I took a big step. I actually figured out when it is secretly available to buy! It might be just a myth, but certain times a day, it makes itself available! Kind of like the Island in the show LOST.

Still, I was defeated by DFO online. The DFO gods did not make it available today, surely in anticipation that I would actually be home from work today to buy it!!!

The DFO gods are testing me.

One day I shall graduate from this trial, and be able to face the next trial which from what the legends say... is being able to pass the dreaded *eerie music* credit card transaction phase!

One day, I shall become uber enough to try this game!

Until then, Newbie signing off!

The combat videos , ugh.

The game is like some bad dream where Sony, EA, & Funcom got together and made a MMORPG.

That was HORRIBLE. And the AI... for about a minute the monster did not even attack the players...
 
Wait so you guys are telling me that a no name company of game producing amateurs that worked on and hyped up a project for 8 years put out a half-baked piece of crap? Color me surprised.
 
Many parts of this game look really good. The full looting makes the game similar to diablo 2 hardcore - high stakes gameplay. I think if this was polished up and handled well it could really amount to something. Kinda doubtful of that happening however.

Looks like WoW to me (I've played WoW in the past 3 months) or close enough to not matter. I also don't gave a rats @$$ about PvE, the easier the better so I can be done with it and have more time to wage war on other clans.

The real test for me will be how bad the grind is and is the PvP system on a large scale any good? I sort of like the idea of doing a patrol to safe guard a recourse gathering operation from player/mob attacks (like EvE mining ops, cept I make less money in those).
 
Oh and from what I've read whoever is making Darkfall is only accepting 1k pre-orders a day because it's all they can manage as a small company. The whole project nearly died off a while ago when they nearly went broke, I had actually thought they went under.

So I expect this game to not be a massive hit, more like 5 to 10 servers total. But that is fine, as long as there are populated servers and I like the game it's good enough for me.

This gets tossed around a lot from people who think you can't form an opinion without playing something. I didn't need to play Too Human to know it sucked, I didn't need to play Half-Life 2 to know I was going to love it. knowledge about the game and often watching videos is plenty to make an accurate judgment. Darkfall sucks, and I was WAY looking forward to it back in the day too.

So you are basing it on crappy user made youtube videos?
 
I watched the videos, and while it seems about average. Then I read the wikipedia, and they put in features that I really hoped to see in an MMORPG but never seen. Such as mobs creating raids on their own and raiding towns. Those are the things I find fun... A more interactive world. Not "grind this quest in this instance"....

However, who know if this happens, and if its in the final game. I will wait for more reviews. But people seem to be judging the game based on the graphics, and they look good enough. Granted its nothing special, but gameplay > graphics especially with MMORPGS. If you have a pretty but empty world, nobody is going to play the MMORPG for any duration.
 
The game is not complete by any stretch of the imagination, since they sold more copies of the game this week the game has been a pita to get into, HOWEVER , when you get into the game it's still a lot of fun. The graphics are actually pretty good, on par with most mmo's out there , the character animations are pretty bad , no denying that, they look like they are done by an a high school student. This game is not for everyone that's for sure, if you want your hand held while playing mmo's this is not for you, pve is an afterthought, it reminds me of shadowbane (no roaming mobs, just spawn camps) The ai is different, you do not target a monster and click auto attack, the combat is like that of oblivion. A lot of people are having fun when they are in game, it's extremely frustrating sitting in Q for an hour waiting to get in, they definitely need to fix that.

WoW has that, it's called training world boss into town.

Oblivion used the gamebryo engine and yes it can be used in a MMORPG .
It is the engine used for Warhammer Online.

Well financed studios/publishers with a small army of team members routinely put out pieces of crap.

That's not much of a recommendation. But yeah, it's a decent engine. Most of the time and money goes into the creation of textures, models, animations, and programming shaders anyway, so whatever engine they use they need a lot of scratch to make it look good and play well.
 
The graphics are pretty good actually, better than Warhammer, the character animations are horrible however.
