there are plenty that will likely criticize me for not playing it thoroughly before judging it, but i don't care
this game is terrible. awful. horrid.
if you're curious- try it. it's free. but i imagine most of you will end up doing what i did. looking at the shitty graphics and user-interface and uninstall it promptly. even the animations are crap. it seems "square" based, as in you move up in square increments- as if there's an invisible square-system or something? it's weird and a big turn-off.
don't waste your time, unless you feel you must.

I'm un-installing now as well.
I must admit though, hype and advertisements got the best of me on this one, first off, it's not at all "new-user friendly" AT ALL.
And yeah, I read just about everything on the website and the games mechanics still didn't make sense to me.
Yeah it's a pretty horrible game, unless you've nothing better to play or do then you might get used to it, if not then I wouldn't bother trying this.
I don't like the controls either, but the rest doesn't bother me. Still, moving feels so awkward I'll probably uninstall too.

I lasted about 30 min since me and a friend where tierd and laughing our butts of. If i wouldnt be laughing it would prolly be 5 min for me.
I wasn't even able to play. Norton had issues with the game launching and kept shutting it down and removing files saying they were "infected". Doesn't seem like I missed anything, though...
Yup the game wasn't that great and I noticed that PvP relied heavily on everyone's ping to determine wether you actually hit the target or not. Sometimes you would "technically" hit the target but because of lag the attack missed, and all that crap.
If anyone was actually interested in this type of PvP, take a look at Savage 2, superior in every way.
Apparently none of you understand what an OPEN BETA is. It means working out the lag inconsistency

unfortunetly you failed to take in to account this isnt an open beta.
Beta means test/promotion based trial of the game.
FEZ has been fully released for years, localized in asia only. SO there is nothing to test. apart from server stability and translations of text.
i tried to play FEZ but the launcher wouldnt even work... updating the game was as far as i got.. my firewall didnt even report it as actively connecting to the net.. (my firewall pings me the minute ANY connects are sent from or to my pc) so ya...
FEZ so far has been a let down, which sucks cause the videos i have seen look enjoyable even tho its a 06 era game

New server cluster means new problems to work out. That was the point I was making. The people above were complaining about lag and clunky ness of controls, which is probably caused by the lag a bit. Once the lag is fixed, the game will be good.
Anyways, everyone who complains about clunky controls just hasn't played a lot of shooters. FE, MO, DFO, and now this all have very similar controls because it has FPS combat. Get used to it, its the new era of MMO.

if savage 2 was persistant world the way this game is I would agree but its not all it is is a lobby where you pick a room and 2 teams fight and when you start over you start from scratch again

And unfortunately you failed to realize that they -are- testing the game with an open beta. They have stated over and over again that Open Beta ONE (which is this one) is purely for working out server stability and mass producing the bugs that you are mentioning.
If they weren't wiping characters after this beta, then I would agree with you that it's purely for promotion.

Did you try it? The clunky controls has nothing to do with lags, and this game is NOT an new era of MMO geez.... This horrible, squarrish controls just suck. If this is the new era.. lol you dont need much to be satisfied....

saddly for you, this is not a beta test in the least. its simply a server load test. the reason for the mass lag is the fact they have an open beta for a game that has/had a huge following TO want to play it... tho play it in english instead of kanji characters the first japanese version is played in.
that being said. there really is no bug testing. copying files from one server toanother generally creates next to nothing in bugs. only if you dont do it correctly.
all this "beta" is for is promoting the game that took far too long to be translated to english. and to test the server load.. so they can figure out exactly how many servers they need... WHICH to be honest could have been done much simpler with a closed beta test or by hosting 2 servers at launch instead of starting with one and having to rush host a 2nd/3rd one when the first one pretty much crashes do to too many connections
they dont really need to run multiple open betas.. its got no wipe which means this is the "final" beta for the game... which for anyone who plays mmos knows.. just means its the launch beta. any actual bugs in the game would have been ironed out years ago. only bugs now are translation bugs which really arent bugs but minor errors.
i really do not get why everyone jumps in to a rage at every game post someone makes.. is fanatical fanboying a new fad?
not to sound mean or rude but frankly the fact the game doesnt even launch when you click the launcher is rather a turnoff to playing when they shouldnt be having any sort of bugs with this game now... its too freaken old O-o"
Apparantly you didn't realize that lag was only mentioned once in this thread until you posted. My complaint has nothing to do with lag. I don't like how the game walks you an extra step. About your FPS/twitch comment in your other post, I've played much smoother first and third person games than what you mentioned.

Sorry to hear that. I was going to give it a go.
Striving for Silver Stars since Gold is so effeminate.
if you really plan to try FEZ i would wait a few days/weeks for them to correct server loads and stability. as right now they are overloaded on players so servers suffer huge lag times. it does not seem like a bad game tho it is dated now days.. no DX10 requiresments...

True enough, though my point was that you don't have to deal with other players having a terrible latency, which makes combat a very tedious and annoying thing in FEZ. Sure you can find laggy players in Savage 2, but being "server-based", it's a lot less likely to happen and in such case, player may be kicked.
Apparently you have not seen the state of the game. The current lag that you see in FEZ has nothing to do with server-stability. It's the player's latency that is the issue. Just like DarkFall you'll find some players with 200-300 ms and some with 20-30 ms. While in DarkFall you can still hit an opponent that has over 200 ms, it is extremely hard in FEZ unless you use AoEs, which is pretty much the only viable way to fight players at the moment.
Sure you can still hit with single-target attacks but you often have to shoot at your opponent while taking his lag into account and attack accordingly (more than often attacking the target directly does not work even if would technically hit on your screen). But anyway, it's not the only issue with FEZ.
I don't get why the game has so many bugs and issues since it's been out for over 4 years, not attacking but could someone please clarify what's up with that?
I agree this game doesn't looks verry good, but its overal quitte a cool game to play if graphics dont bother you that much.
I Found myself having some fun in this graphical outdated game for a couple of hours after forcing myself to play it for a while.
Its far from user friendly and I advise anyone who wants to try it to read all the information on the US website before playing the game.
Other than that, the idea behind the game is quitte cool and intresting to play around with, sadly this game lacks some combat variation. and offers little to those Willing to actually play the game.
I found myself having trouble to actually managing to kill someone else in pvp, if not hitting anyone at all (could be the lag though)
anyhow, a Fun experience doing the 50vs50 battles and building stuff all around the map for resources which are easy to obtain.

During localization some of the coding is changed (either intentionally or not) and this causes said bugs.

I kinda guessed that was the reason but looking at sheer amount of the bugs i thought it might've been something else.
I did exactly the same thing just 5 minutes ago... I installed it, looked at it, moved around in circles and logged out. OMG, I've seen some chitty games in my day, however, FEZ is at the top of the list right now. Don't waste you time. IMO
The installer is still sitting in My Downloads folder, spent some time on the website while is was downloading and decided it looked crap from the videos. Not sure what all the hype was about, looks like any other generic cheap f2p.
This game doesn't even qualify as "any other generic cheap f2p" Kabaal. The UI and character controls are totally useless. I don't even understand why it is online...

I've played two characters up to level 20 in FEZ, and while I agree that the lag kills combat, I have no idea what your problem with the UI or controls are. Interestingly though, from videos I've seen, the lag problems are non-existent in the Japanese version.
Seriously though what's the problem with the controls and UI? You aim with the cursor, move with wasd and double-tap left or right to dodge. What's so hard about that? UI is just a standard MMO UI. You have a chat bar, skill bar, and some miscellaneous options menus. I don't see anything in FEZ's UI that's not in every other MMO's UI or why it would be problematic.
Overall I'd say this game has some great mechanics and gameplay, and is very very fun. There are lots of different ways to contribute to your team, from killing other players, to taking down enemy buildings, to turning into a summon and going on a rampage. I also like that they made the summon system in such a way that everyone doesn't just hog the summons. For example, you need 30 crystals to become a knight, but you can only collect up to 18 crystals on your own. That means you have to get someone else to give you the rest of the crystals. Overall I'd say this game seems to breed a very cooperative playerbase, which is a very pleasant surprise.
The main problem, of course is the lag. In the videos I've seen from the Japanese version, damage numbers pop up the moment your shot hits, and everything is smooth. In this version, however, even though I only have a 100ms ping, I still have to lead my targets up to 1s in advance. In the worst case, I don't see my damage numbers pop up until 3 or 4 seconds after my shot hit. This is really the only significant problem I've had with the game, and if they could fix it I'd definitely recommend the game.
