A treat for all the deniers: My Review
Here is my review.
My fanboy Darkfall reveiw.
Gameplay: 10/10 Darkfall employs revolutionary game mechanics and skill based systems. The mobs are super intelligent and never run back and forth in the same spot while you hit them in the back. Also, they spawn in different places making it super fun to look for them. Also, the world is absolutely CRAWLING with mobs. Large fields filled with hundreds of dirrerent types of mobs. It reminds me of South Karana back from the old EQ days. In any given area, or "zone" there may be several humanoid mobs, mythical creatures, gnolls, centuars, aviaks, wild animals, all with various risk vs. reward. While crafters may want to hunt the animals for pelts, those seeking loot and riches will certainly go after humanoids. The UI is extremely intuitive and easy to use and proves to be a step above those other games like WoW. There is an intricate balance between PvP, PvE, socializing and crafting in this game and there is always something to do and plenty of friendly people waiting to help.
Graphics: 10/10 The best MMORPG graphics since AoC with life-like clouds of blood when attacking and environmental effects.
Sounds: 10/10 Every whiz and whir of a staff or swing of a scimitar produces a crystal clear and life-like sound effect in THX Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. It is absolutely spectatcular and compliments the DX 17 graphics very well.
Crafting: 10/10 Easily the best crafting system since Vanguard:SoH set the bar so high. Crafting is not repetitive and is very profitable.
PvP: 10/10 If you love PvP, this game is for you! this is the reason AV released this game, in order to show all those WoW bubble-gum players what a real MMORPG should be. Fights between players are intense and really get the adrenaline pumping. Large battles involve extremely advanced and in-depth tactics and large sieges take into account player skill, gear, team work and patience. Advance tactics include casters working together to summon huge spells that effect all enemies on the battlefield. On a smaller scale, some tactics for winning in PvE involves two people starting on day one, farming exploits until week 2, using all the exploit money to buy armor, weapons and horses, then going to the starter-town goblins and strategically killing people harvesting or killing goblins in their 2nd hour of playing. If you can't hang with the best stay home. If you like PvE, save your money because AV doesn't want it. They are making this game just to cater to the hard-working, fast thinking, extremely skilled, intelligent, handsome, popular, carasmatic and accomplished typical hardcore PvP player. AV would rather go bankrupt than have one PvE carebear noob taint the strong community.
Community: 10/10 Darkfall's community consists of the most well-spoken and intelligent critics and supporters. All negative reviews are embraced by supporters and name calling is all but non-existant. Tasos chooses two people a day to go out and have a beer with and talk about the state of the game and ask for feedback. No one ever exagerrates about either how good or how bad the game is.
Performance: 10/10 Since day 1 there has only been a few minutes of downtime on each of the servers. It is extremely easy to forget you are playing a game because movement is so fluid and lifelike.
Overall 10/10
Overall: 10/10 I am tempted to throw away scoring conventions and just give this game a perfect score of a million out of a million but I only havea 10 point scale. It is definately an 11.

Such heartfelt emotion and truth in this review, it...well, it moves meh!
DARKFALL 09 YEAH!!!!1111 DARKFALL BE TEH AWESOME!!!!1111
My account is already gone, if you know what I mean. Maybe when they accept more people in a few months I will buy another one to experience the "magic" again.
A very well articulated, spot on review, that really hits the nail on the head with how Darkfall is in Bizzarro World.
Darkfall is THE WoW killer!!
Hmm.. you should throw a 8 and a 9 here and there. Even a 7 or 6 in some minor thing. And a 4 in animations. That is what they do and the result is very convincing review.
welp, seeing as your comments on crafting go against everything pretty much everyone says, i would have to assume the rest of your "review" is just sarcastic slams against the game.
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?
When I saw sound 10/10 I knew this review wasn't for real..
Ya think??
Read his second sentence "My fanboy Darkfall reveiw". This is totally a delusional sycophantic failboi "review", and a well written one at that.
haha hahah hahaha hahahahahahhahahaahhaahhahahahahahahahaha
+1
I originally had a blurb about how it was a sarcastic review but a mod edited it out.
Games are a preference, not a fact. You can't "deny" a preference. It's like saying, don't deny that vanila ice cream is the best flavor ever! Either you like it, or you don't, denial is not really a part of the equation.
i should have said Schloob wins.
lol sorry you played the game.
^yeah... but who the fuck would want shit flavored ice cream?
Denier: A unit of measurement of linear density of textile fiber mass- calculated as one gram per 9000 meters
( Pst, "A treat for those of you still in denial" )
Though I wouldnt trust anyone that gives a 10/10 to ANY game at any rate.
( Edit: I fail, after re-reading... NOW I get it. *hangs head in shame* )
I'm Awesome, Deal With It.
but... if a place says they have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cherry, butterscotch, and pecan ice creams, and all they actually have is a piece of already-chewed gum on a stick.... a reasonable person would realize that place is full of it.

Well the game is a 10/10 in every aspect and already has 10 million players on one server......i just dont see how a game can be any better than this one....The best community, the best graphics, the best company running it, everything is beautiful!!!......
Might want to edit again:

He's being sarcastic. . /shakesheadinamazements Gotta laugh at the fanbots agreeing. I guess the {mod edit} didn't help, I guess thats where the punch line went.
This review sarcasm? Sorry I cant tell
:^(
I like how your first reply on this thread really didn't read the review and understand it was a complete and utter piss take hahahahaha.
Excellent and totally unbiased review of the game!!!
You made me laugh a lot. I must thank Aventurine and Tasos too for giving us all so much material for jokes.
Schloob, are you trying to compete with Polarization for the place of Master of Sarcams? hehehe
but... if a place says they have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cherry, butterscotch, and pecan ice creams, and all they actually have is a piece of already-chewed gum on a stick.... a reasonable person would realize that place is full of it.
Very good come back

ya know... it's like people read "ffa pvp with full loot" and they lose their minds and rational thinking.
over 100 prestige classes, that was REALLY setting this game apart for me.
NON-REPETITIVE crafting... you can craft EVERYTHING in game... two more features that didn't make it into the game.
grind grind grind grind grind macro macro macro... hey, i played uo. playing uo from a decade ago, only now having a 3d client, REALLY isn't something i'm all googoo gahgah for.
that's great that everyone goes on about two things - 1 the shadows and 2 the fps pvp.
this game is an INCREDIBLE letdown, if ONLY for the above parts being missing. seriously, OVER ONE HUNDRED prestige classes? and i could mix and match? UO has what? four? ninja, samurai, paladin and necromancer? is there even a list of these hundred + prestige classes which were cut? i'm not sure if i could easily come up with a hundred + off the top of my head.
THAT is something to hype about, and which is still all over the OFFICIAL webpage.
why does tacos (bell?) spend so much time making official announcements on the forums and such? surely, since no one can update the website (for a second time), they don't have time to be wasting making announcement or providing patchnotes UNTIL AFTER those 100+ prestige classes are back in... do they?

OP is trolling , he admitted he likes trolling companies and games and has been banned from various offcial game forums..by his own admittance..
You all supporting him and cheering him shows much about you and your honesty in visiting these forum..
Where else he can troll without consequences then in MMORPG.com ..these forum is troll heaven , starting baits and flaming posts with "my fanboi Darkfall review " is an invitation ..good that i am used meanwhile to that after a year ..these forum is for trolls and not for the fans of the game..

"There was suppression of speech and all kinds of things between disturbing and fascistic." Raph Koster (parted $OE)
for the past year (just to get the record straight) the so-called fans of this game, have trolled, flamed, and plagued all the forums on the internet, which they seemingly could find, about this ffa fps pvp game, which seems to have dropped most of the features outside OF fps and full loot.
