SHOCKED by firefall !!
im editing the post to swap my post with notimeforbs, obviously he described the situation much better than me and my spanglish 8_D
So, I was playing the beta for FireFall for a week or so: lots of dumping, crafting, and exploring. You know... the regular stuff. At any rate, today I went to a "red zone." It had been taken over by the aliens (or whatever they are called), so I decided to help get it back. I knew this would be tough, but luckily there were other players nearby. So we grouped up!
We started blasting these aliens a new one when, out of nowhere, this huge torrent of pure energy spawned from the black of Satan's ass on top of the tower above us. It was righteous, I tell you - complete with these gnarly shards of death made from the same stuff your worst nightmare is made of, swirling all around us!
So, the ten of us were scared shit-less and, naturally, start blowing everything away. We didn't care what it was. If it was moving, it was toast! After about ten minutes of this beautiful carnage, I was like, "Damn - that was hard... This. Game. Is. AWESOME!" But nothing could have prepared me for what happened next.
Obviously, our prowess had not yet been tested fully, as we were able to correct whatever meteorological mishap had just materialized before our very eyes. Oh no - the game was only toying with us all this time, and beckoned for our continued punishment. Our reward was a portal... a doorway to, I shit you not, Hell itself. It appeared before us at the base of the raging funnel for a brief moment of destiny. Only five of the most worthy in our numbers were able to venture forward into the unknown abyss.
We were mystically transported to... to... there are no words to describe the epitome of fear incarnate. Forgive me, brethren. It is the place that shall not be named. Imagine the most terrifying, vexing thought... and then imagine it was the place where I stood. Legions of these indescribable rage entities clawed at us, yearning to devour our very existence, while the voices of eternity echoed into our minds informing us that we needed to harvest the crystals within this horrific domain.
I will never be able to accurately recount the terror we faced when our disemboweled corpses stained the earth beneath us. The amount of projectile death was insurmountable and never-ending. The numbers of the alien horde were never reduced by any recordable degree. But this place... was spectacular, my friends. I have seen the fascinating truth. I have seen it.
And it is because I have seen it, that I can tell you one thing as an absolute fact: FireFall.... FireFall is worth it.
But, but, but he attacked me when I was low life!
Yes, HE DID, why you cant do the same to him?
Uf that will take me a lot of time...

I would imagine that English isn't the OP's primary language. That said, I didn't have a problem with it. I had a pretty good mental vision of what he described.
Glad you liked your experience OP.
Fixed.
Many thanks sir! You did it much better than me while keeping the feeling on!
No, english is not my first lenguaje, im sorry for that.

Great translation. Might even be better than FIrefall itself!
Thanks,

Nope. Not. At. All. Firefall is more akin to a sandboxyish world with crafting being a major component to the game. The visuals are amazing, New Eden is gorgeous to look at ( my opinion ), and gliding has to be one of the most fun ways to get around in an MMO.
It can sometimes get a bit confusing for new players since it doesn't hand hold as much after the initial tutorial, but it's easy enough to pickup and understand stuff as you play. The game as no levels per se, most of the content can be done in stock gear and frames, however doing so you are making it tough on yourself if you do not at least upgrade your weapons.. The upgrading of frames and gear does give you a small vertical progression in power, but its not as much as in other MMOs. However upgrading does allow you to better handle content. I am kinda new as well and there is more I need to learn, especially the intricacies of crafting.
Great variety in the battleframes and it easy to unlock one of the advanced frames. The game simply has no p2w stuff in it, the entire game can be enjoyed for free. At the very least people should give Firefall a whirl, it's different. May not fit everyone's taste though, and you might be one of those turned off by the game's apparent lack of direction past the tutorial. Hope you have fun.
Dude don't be sorry for your English, if my Spanish was half as good as your English I'd be well happy.
As for the game I have no interest in it at all, one cartoon MMO has been enough for my life thanks.

Epic Fix. I'd like to give this game enough of a chance to enjoy.. I just didn't get past the intro honestly. Sounds promising though.
I didnt have a problem getting the OP message. And i can say that the game is Fun, but the event he described with the tornado and the portal dont happen very often (which is good). The issue i have with the game is The limited amount of content you can do in between tornado events, can get very repetitive (thumping, chosen events, Ares, Fixing LGV and thumpers and the occacional melding event).
I think exploration could be more rewarding as well. Theres no point in exploring the world at this point.
EDIT: the Ares misisons could pop up randomly in the world, that way you are encouraged more to explore. Not just having them marked on the map since day one.
Just like rifts were exciting for 2 days in rift.
FYI, this has been in for months.
OMG even Babelfish has a hard time converting this.
Take this for what it's worth... please try to proof read your posts before submitting them.
Ratero.
the problem with Rift is that you have a million different Rifts that are all the same with different color, mobs, and names, but same experience with each on of them.
My fun with FireFall is limited but longer than with Rifts in Rift
You understood it because you've done it before :P
But I agree with the rest of what you said. The events are cool and it's great that this isn't a follwo the yellow brick road quest game but the serious lack of content or sandbox things for people to do make the game the type you play a few days every few months.
The game is coming along but...so is christmas.
Are you really having trouble interpreting what he said? English isnt my first language just like the OP and Im pretty sure your english is better than mine but still i perfectly understood The OP post in english. And already answered in another post about what he said. Also, "take this for what is worth", are you suggesting that just because he lacked in english the post means nothing?....... seriously people.....
Did you play Huxley? i think it never launched here in NA. I wanted to play it so bad...... Is it any good?
I mostly get stuck on how ultra-bland Firefall's PVE gameplay is, and how hard it is to locate anything remotely challenging (which wasn't even a particularly interesting challenge, just higher incoming DPS vs. lower (relative) outgoing DPS.)
Oh, and that tougher challenge was the same tornado the OP goes wild about. Unloading clip after clip into slowly-moving enemy mobs is really boring.
Especially given that we already have Defiance and Global Agenda doing this sort of PVE FPS gameplay better (not to mention games like L4D which blow all of those titles out of the water in terms of coop PVE FPS fun.)

Every time I play it and found a base somewhere behind a cascade or a I just enter a hole in the ground to find a big alienated complex infested of creatures I feel myself more and more inmersed in this world.
Fun, immersive, graphically amazing and free... what more can I say?

It launched (well the beta did anyway)... I don't think it ever actually released though. I could be wrong.. I know for sure about the Beta though as I played it.

Why don't you worry less about whether it is a themepark, sandbox, linear, non-linear, WHATEVER and just try the FREE game yourself. Then, if you are having fun - great - keep on playing. If you aren't having fun, no worries, you can uninstall and play something else.
