Maybe if they got rid of the OTS crap. I don't mind the zoom in OTS crap, but they really need to start centering people on the screen.

Meh.. not my style.. I'd actually prefer it in FPS. TPS will never be the same. It's like going from a smart phone back to flip phone. It was cool when it was new but now it's old hat. We all know you can camp just as well in either TPS or FPS. The only difference is seeing around shit. I don't prefer having that option anymore. If I'm going to play something futuristic it will be the new Killzone or better yet Destiny.

I can't tell you how many times in battlefield or cod that I ended up walking side by side with an enemy and not even known. It is also about seeing what you are stuck on. That happens way to much in FPS games. Getting random stuck on a 2 inch curb or something.

Not sure if you're just not used to FPS still or just not good at them but neither of those issues effect me 99% of the time lol. As for peripheral vision... that only goes so far.. then it becomes something else. You can play the game like you are the actual person or you can play the game like you walking behind the person. The latter is NOT peripheral vision.. it's TPV. Just saying. With getting stuck.. learn the maps. After you play them 20-30 times each you should know what obstacles are where. I've never been stuck on a "2 inch curb" in any BF or COD games. More like Confrontation lol. Anyways.. to each his own.

Well, not actual peripheral vision, but it does a pretty good job simulating it. It also helps to see your body when behind cover because I wouldn't want some random edge sticking out. I'll always like the original Socom TPS view over an FPS view. But I still function well and enjoy FPS games.

Obviously I find this game interesting. But unless more than a couple people buy this game, I dont know if I can talk myself into buying it.
I love gaming with friends, so it really depends on who else buys the game to me.

Got into the beta. Seriously people, I am surprised there isn't more people into it. They have a decent pvp game going too.

Yeah, I played about 4 hours of the beta before I needed to take a break. Some things that hopefully wont break the NDA. - The enemies have a very steep curve. Once you start out, they are fairly easy, Then you can go to another area and you are in a heap full of very difficult enemies. I thought the AI needed tweaking, but then It started getting harder, faster.
- Everything is pretty much open world. There are these events called Arkfalls where it is like horde mode and everyone gets there, gets a bunch of loot, and kills a bunch of enemies. When there is less than 15 people there, it seems fine, but once it starts getting more people it'll start lagging bad. It is a beta, so I assume that will be fixed.
- The weapons handle really nicely. There is unfortunately no way to switch shoulders or change the camera view. Hopefully it will be included in a future patch, but I am not holding my breath. It gives you the OTS Socom style where sometimes you think you will hit someone, you end up hitting the wall because the rounds come from your weapon.
- Haven't done the PVP stuff yet, I will probably get into it tonight. but there are is a matchmaking service where you can do PVP stuff(don't know how many vs how many), and there are instances that are like 4 player events.
- You can create a clan. It is a very nice setup, where you have to pay 5,000 scrip(in game currency) and be level 25, apparently there are hundreds of levels. I haven't grouped up with anyone yet.
I am down to answer more questions if you want. The NDA is lifted in a couple of days, I took some decent video so I will probably post some good stuff.

Look like a remake of Red Dead Redemption and their open world, pvp stuff. You can either go do instances or "hideouts" as a group and get exp and loot and such, or you can grab acrew and go f**k other crews up. I don't see a problem with the "NPC enemies" being easier or harder in certain areas, it makes you wanna level up so you can take those guys. Who wants to venture into an Open World Environment and ROFLstomp everything they come across? Not this guy.
The developers of this game also made RIFT, another MMO, and I ahve heard nothing but good things about RIFT from people that play/played it. Which is another bonus.
It would be fun to get into another MMO on the console i definitely liked DCUO.
Im considering it, however, just gotta do more research on it.

Yeah, there is no sub either. It is quite literally, you buy the game, and that is it. There are small micro-trasactions, but so far, they have just been for giving a % bonus for either xp, weapon skill, how much loot drops, and how much currency drops.
Now, that I have had some pizza and a good hour long break, I am going to dive back into it.

If your afraid of the words "MMO" or "RPG" or just dont like those two acronyms i would AT LEAST give this game a try. It almost feels like a GTA game, which is an rpg after all, but you are actually connected to a big universe and you can see other players. I played some of the PVE content and i played some of the PVP content. The guns DO handle really well i like that a lot, and the HIT DETECTION IS AWESOME! PVE content: Honestly, theres only so much you can do in MMO's that seperate each other from PVE Content wise. Besides the obvious, enemies, maps, weapons, and skills. You go here and do this kill that secure this flip this switch yada yada. PVE wise its like any other mmo i've played. kill stuff collect you money your loot sell it and continue on. Arkfalls: These are the "BIG" events that happen around the map i would consider it a "world event" as i think thats the purpose of them from stopping the "aliens" from landing and consuming the land or whatever. Honestly, I think these LACK in everything. I was not getting any experience for killing stuff that spawned. After about me and 20+ other people finally downed one shell thing or whatever we moved to the next one finished that and then this was the "OMG BOSS" fight. Nothing too spectacular enemies spawned from the weird flower blossom looking thing, these enemies were much harder than the previous only because they had a shit load of health. After 20-35 minutes we finished it all and that was all to be said and we went on to our merry lives in Defiance. You know what i got for taking my time to help? A little bit of experience and well, i got lots of ammo. But thats irrelevant because ammo is not a thing of rarity here. I mean you will run out of space to keep ammo before collecting it all. I dont know if theres a way to increase carrying capacity or what but yeah. ANYWAYS, after we killed the big bad boss the top 20 or so players have their names on a board and well mine was not in the top 20 or so for the event so i got some EXP and a big thing on the window that says "No Reward", seems a little discouraging doesn't it? Not to mention your EGO (EGO is some device implanted to your body that guides you thru the game) and even SHE tells you Arkfalls are GREAT ways of getting loot and money but seriously i was a bit dissapointed as a newcomer to this game. Oh and I have yet to die during any part of the PVE content, I have not really ventured off the road but still i want to be challenged a little bit. PVP Content: since most of us here like games for Person vs. Person games like COD BF3 Socom, i will cover what i experienced. Theres co-op matchmaking which i havent tried yet. i assume its like most "coop" modes. There is 16v16 conquest essentially, you team up with people and you hold down 3 points. Theres 8v8 which is Team Deathmatch. KILL SHIT. Then theres the Shadow War which im not too sure about, when i did it it just seemed like the 16v16 room where we held points. You earn experience for kills in pvp and you get experience for just completing the match. Different classes as usual. Only played the sniper dunno what the others do but they had machine guns, smg's and assault rifles and im sure theres much more. The game seriously reminds me of Borderlands how you can compare each of your piece of equipment with the others that you have. I played for a few hours will update with more. These are somethings that i've noticed that bother me just a bit. Rendering issues (only on character select screen lol), audio issues, some of the physics when in a vehicle lol Devil feel free to comment cos i know you will Back to the borderlands comparison, I find it to be REALLY similar in play style compared to Borderlands excpet for the whole third person view thing. Enemies move pretty quick and they dodge. Weapons, they have elemental effects, Borderlands anyone? lol So basically if you liked Borderlands definitely give this game a look.

Remember it is just the beta too. There were lots of complaints about the arkfalls on the forums and not having any rewards and what not, hopefully that will be changed.
Was super busy so I only got a few minutes in yesterday. The shadow war is supposedly 64 v 64 mag style. And while you haven't died yet, doesn't mean you won't I am pretty far along and some of the baddies get really powerful. I think the Raider Tanker is probably the worst. It has a very small weak point, and tons of health.
I am at a point where I am currently modifying my weapons, which brings a nice aspect into it. You can add up to four items to any weapon. I'll post some videos tonight about it since the NDA is lifted today.
