Bad review

I just had to post this from the hype section because it was so the opposite of what my experience has been.

All flash and no sizzle. To bad such a revolutionary concept couldnt pull it off in production. I was in the beta till the very end and never was really impressed, but picked it up at release cause ..well ..most of my friends did. Got boring reeally fast. Roleplaying is non-existant.. combat is repedative, and everyone looks the same. Seems they decided to follow the trend of little or no character customization and a slow boring level grind.. instead relying on novelty to sell the game. Perhaps they should of learned from CoH some and took less from the Korean style mmos (which this feels alot like to me.). If you like endlessly (and mindlessly) grinding solely for the sake of leveling up.. this is your game. I personally want more story, better written quests, and a better feel of being a unique character. I'm done with this one.

Take the opposite of this post and you have how I feel about it. Endlessly grinding? There is NO grinding! It's all quests, and they are extremely well written (if you bother to read them pfft) Combat is FUN and there is rich ground for RP. There is plenty of character customization and I never found one single car exactly like any of my alts. Korean MMO's? Are you smoking the wrong end of the bong? The story of the game is well written and well thought out and just so unique and kewl. Plenty of flash, sizzle, crash bang and boom, thank you very much.

    First, I'll say it's definitely not for everyone.  I love it, so that's all that matters from my perspective, but I respect that others may not like it as I do.  Different strokes for different folks. 


    Second.... I'd read that and didn't quite believe the person actually played the game.  There are some pretty glaring errors in that description that I don't feel someone who actually played it would have said.  To me, it sounded like someone from another game trying to sabatoge AA's rating on MMORPG.com.  Between stats, items, and special skill paths, there is TONS of room for character customization - more than I've seen in any game but EVE.  Furthermore, you level VERY fast in this game.  Calling this a level grind is kind of laughable. 


    I could nitpick about the rest, but the rest appears to be subjective.  Honestly though, why make this thread?  It just calls attention to an inaccurrate review.  There are plenty more positive reviews to focus on.

    I check the ratings regularly and notice that everytime we get a bumped up to 8.4 and share #1 position with Eve, we get knocked back a couple to 8.3.

    Not to point a finger at anyone but I strongly suspect some fanbois ain't too happy about sharring #1 spot. Especially when "A" comes before "E".

    Tell me one game where the combat is not repetitive. This game has the best combat system in any game I have ever played. Not many games where it is possible to "Roleplay". Besides, there is one RP sever up right now, on non RP severs, there are just to many people that ruin it to be Roleplaying. Every one looks the same huh? He needed to put on his glasses. I have not seen any one yet that has looked like me. Hell it was impossible all most to recreate the look of my char from beta, just that many options.
