So how's Planetside?

[blurredvision]

This just came out within the last week, correct? So how are people liking it? Any good? Worth the money?

What are your thoughts on the game so far? Let's hear it fellas, I'm kinda interested in seeing what this game is all about, and whether it's any good.

Played in beta some, was good fun, though I havent bought retail yet, not sure if its worth a permonth payment for a FPS.

 

[blurredvision]

Anyone else?

Good game. I'll probably pick it up tomorrow actually (i played it in the beta).

Have you ever visited ANY EQ forums? All there is is whining, yet EQ is the most popular MMORPG, and has over 500,000 subscriptions. People who enjoy the game, are in the game and playing. Those that don't, go to the forum and bitch.

Lag? Only a few instances. I agree though, for 20 levels, it's going to take damn long to level up.

They should freely distribute the game (free download), and charge for the subscription.

all im saying is that that might give a slight indication what its like. i played in the beta, and i can definitely say that to me, it didnt seem like it would be worth it to buy the game.

And the developers of the game don't get paid? Subscription is to pay for the servers, bandwidth, and maintenance (and i'm sure a profit), but the cost of the game goes to the people who made the game. Making a MMORPG is MUCH more complicated than a single player or online game.

Planetside is an MMORPG since when?

Haven't read much about the game, so its a RPG/FPS hybrid? I guess I'll just visit the site, screenshots look kickass though.

Its a combo of the two, MMORPG since they charge and you get to play with many many people and the design of the game as in FPS.

I was going to pick it up, but i got into Eve Beta and played that, now I don't even consider any of the two simply cause of lack of time.

I would buy it though, looks great. purchase cost is fine with me, as every game that you wish to OWN, costs something, and the monthly fee? well im fine with that since I know what MMORPG stands for, but for many single or MP FPS, don't.

danny~!

I didn't like Eve Beta... couldn't stand the font they used, and my system kept locking up for some odd reason... but this was like 6 months ago, things may have changed.

SWG though, i love that... even though my char is so gimped, there's so much potential for it.
