My Review of the game...

It's only been a few days and here is what I can tell some of you that are thinking about playing this game.
3 words at this point.... SAVE YOUR MONEY!
I got the buddy key from a friend of mine and both of us were really looking forward to this game and so far I am very glad that I did not spend the $50.00 for this game.
When you first log in to the game, you can not help but think this game is already 5 or 7 years old. The graphics look and feel like this game is old. For a newer game, I feel they could of done something a bit better.
The combat is a joke really,... same 3 or 4 hits and very little sound in combat.
Ship combat is KIND of cool, but again,... same old, pull your ship a long side the other and fire away..
This game reminds me of a free ship game you can play but I can't put my hands on the name of this game... its called some like voyage.. something. The graphics in this game are a little better but still the same game play.
SOE is in on this game, so give it a year or so and I am sure this game as well will be in trubble.
The good things... the missions are easy to understand.
And this is a new game, so if you get in now... you can grow in to this game and maybe like it.
I say, save the $50.00 and buy something nice for yourself because if you get this game... you will feel like you have been had.
The review this site gave to the game was VERY, VERY kind... I just can't give it the same... I say more in the 7.0 to maybe 7.5 if that.

Fair enough
I completely disagree, but that's the beauty of opinions
I completly disagree aswell
Well, I'm not even a fan of the game, but I'd say the ship combat is more than "KIND" of cool...I thought it was pretty fun, personally.
I would have to agree, I was in the beta and found the game extremely lacking in my favor. I'm not talking about lag or any bugs but just sheer content, the crafting system is just plain horrible IMO. I prefer to get hands on and do the work myself (like EQ2 for example) or even the way SWG has it, manually placing your equipment around the world. The ship combat gets old very fast, and avatar combat is just plain horrible. The instance loading for combat is plain annoying and I would prefer to have an open gameplay instead of instancing everything. The loading into every structure is also very annoying, It's 2008 people I think its time to upgrade your software and make the game a bit more interesting. I have to agree on the graphics too, it looks like Guild Wars and Guild Wars is a few years old... these are the reasons why I don't play and don't intend on playing. Now I'm going to prepare for all the pirate lovers who are going to fiddle with my words and turn them against me.

No offense intended, but if you're taking ages to load into instances...it's user oriented...so, as you said...it's 2008...get some RAM.
Rest of the post, I agree with a fair amount of.

No offense to you either but mind you, I have 4gb of RAM, its not the time it takes to load which is only a few seconds its just that I'm used to just walking into a structure, loading screens help me in the loss of interacting and depth in the game.

I agree that the avitar creation could be better. My issue is that while pre-boarding was great since teh game went live it has been SOEcursed with game killing bugs. The the suggested fixes have you doing major adjustments and note taking.
Flying Labs has GOT to get this thing under control, Manyof us spent $10 on the pre-boarding, $15 for the guide then $50 for the game and in the first weekend of release it is almost unplayable. Almost $100 and I can't play like I could in pre boarding!!!

Fair enough, I misunderstood then...really, your complaint is about instancing more than load times.
I am really glad that some of you really enjoy the game don't get me wrong,... this is just my point of view and I guess if you feel $50.00 + 14.99 a month is worth it,.. then thats great but I just don't see this as a online game I can pay that much for,.... it just lacks the fun for me I guess.
I really hope that the bugs are looked at and fixed fast,... but if this game is left up to SOE to fix them.... you all better be ready to bend over and wait to take one in the rear,... because as we all know... SOE can really drag its feet when it come to bugs.
It is really to early to say if game is bad or good,.. but I can tell you,... it is lacking something for me and I think most people who play,.. may find themselfs feeling the same way.
