More on Darkfall

ImageIn the times between spitting my lungs out of my chest thanks to the ever-wonderful “Maximum Strength Mucinex DM”, I found that I was able to dabble a bit more with Darkfall, and I’m liking the game, despite some of it’s very serious draw backs, but I don’t think I’ll end up there for any serious amount of time, until those drawbacks are fixed, but I’ll most likely finish out my 14-day trial. I find I’m becoming less tolerant of some issues the more I game, and I have to wonder if that’s why I’m less of any MMOs right now, including EVE and WAR. Besides the point though, I want to talk about the things in Darkfall that really bothered me.

The ol’ college try

ImageLast night, in a Sudafed and NyQuil fueled stuper, I decided to try a game I haven’t really given a fair shake in the past. It’s not a huge triple-A developed venture, and is extremely small population-wise, but it’s something that’s been sticking around and picking up players as it goes. It’s also a sandbox and non-level based, which is a fun twist from the classic MMO structure. I went into it, not really sure what to expect, but I wanted to keep an open mind. The game, (if you hadn’t guessed by now) is Darkfall.

Dun, dun, DUN.

Euro-review for Darkfall, 2.0

July 17, 2009 Leave a comment

eurogamer-logoIt can be read here. It’s an incredible article. Not just in the message, but the delivery. This writer is obviously far more talented at his job than the previous. The end result of all this? 4/10.

When you boil it down, Kieron Gillen (the author), basically said this is one of those games you probably CAN get a sense of whether you enjoy it or not in just a few short hours. We all have known this game was a niche product, and that it was a love-it or hate-it title. The review was solid, and polite in it’s criticisms, but the end score isn’t that much better than the original. I haven’t seen a response from Tosas (or whatever his name is), but I’m wondering if this satisfies them?

Either way, take a gander, it’s a good read if for the witty commentary and impressive word-play alone.
