Would have been wise, 15gigs download Very Happy Oh well, I'm downloading it just for the trailers, doubt the game is nowhere near as good.

Indeed, not maxing my connection, so if you are going to try it better start now, will be 6h+ download.

edit: what a shitty installer. Said you need 15gigs of space, I had 26 free and ran our of disk space now. 0 bytes free. Funcomm folder is 26gigs big and still downloading more 12/14gigs going. Of course no pause, just exit, meh.

edit2: losing all hope on the game if they can't code a simple installer! Now on 15.0gb/14.5gb.. Downloaded 30GB alread, running out of space soon again.

Lol there is nice feature when you press "B", you get web browser Very Happy This is very nice for MMO, when you are bored Smile As for the game, dunno what to say, feels so different from the others. Not a bad thing tho. Graphics are also very nice for a MMO, runs maxed out @ 2560x1440 45fps+.

Ui is also very nice! Feels so "PCish", and it looks awesome at higher resolutions.

I think they have implemented sites of their own which will top the google list if you are remotely close to what you're needing when searching.

Finally can start the game but it's still just a big bug. None of the options on the launcher save, so no DX11 no sound or music. You get to the main settings all volumes are 0 all graphics options are empty. Need to fill everything up and they still don't save..

You select DX11 and it says will apply on next restart but when you restart all options are wiped and rinse repeat forever. Oh well got to try it out on what ever options I can set it to, before I delete the whole thing for a big fail Smile

edit: well no sound ingame either, so didn't work, but seems I'm not alone and finally a fix too

I left this download overnight and it was 21GB and still dowloading after it initially said it was 15GB. There was a problem with hashing files from the server and some corrupt data that it wanted to repair, so I deleted some files as per funcom forum, but it still wanted to dowload a further 7GB. There were further problems and wanting to dowload yet another 7GB, so in the end I deleted the whole folder and now I just won't bother. If they can't get this part right, there really is no hope. Funcoms poor reputation goes before them and I have better things to do than fuck about with their crappy software. What a waste of a 35GB dowload. Fuck 'em!

tywym, if you read from top of page had similar stuff. The 15GB is just a lie, it takes 33.6GB installed on mine. Never had so much trouble on installer, doesn't indeed make you want to play the game.

Now that I've tested it seems quite nice on GFX, but runs quite bad. Story might be ok, but seemed too much blaablaa and too little action on start. Combat seemed fine when I finally got there, but the controls are horrid. Need to hold right mouse constanty to turn and no way to aim. Left button is useless, just turn camera around (well good for screenshots) and select enemy (but tab already selects closest).

Shooting/abilities done with 1-0 buttons, with friendlies around and enemy all around you, trying to hit those without aim too was just frustrating and less fun. Well at least there was button 4 mapped to ability one that was shotgun on first mission. A & D to srafe helped too, they were just turn as default.

Now if rigth mouse was toggle freelook/use menu, it would be muuuch easier and more like other games. That would make selecting friendlies for healing harder, but already hard anough if you can't kill the monsters pounding you with the controls what they are. Like others have said, might play it on F2P, but not worth the money.

all these problems here i see lol, installed first time flawless, downloaded no issues, no sound? eh, sound never a problem here not even with my 7.1 setup.

Now on the no toggle for right click look and move around, yes I dont like that either but its not a big deal, id like it changed though for more in line with other mmo feel of control.

This game is a lot better since the Beta. Couldn't stand the combat before but now it's good.
I'm starting to get into the world and everything, it's pretty damn unique and cool.
Not sure about the montly cost though. That + item shop if i'd ever want to buy something seems a bit over the top.

Oh and graphics are damn nice with everything on max (except DX 11 type of AA i believe, that isnt implemented yet?? because i couldn't enable it).

driver related issues with the new AA types, and really do u need it? come on, I am still looking at this new fandangled stuff and thinking while im playing I really see no difference or concern at 1920 res.. although FXAA works or with an injector for SMAA is it? It still was nice to all look at regardless...

I had read they fixed some of the fusang issues some get with lag when players meet eachother even one on one, but to me its not much improvement in last patch at all, i can do the open area world and all npc with particles etc fine but pvp its a different matter on fusang.. the battlegrounds even smaller are much better..
I cant get why its like it is, but I guess it must be due to network coding or something not gelling well for some. Its a shame because I would like to hammer that pvp for tokens etc but its just not enjoyable with it like that for me.

Well now that playtime is running low of course it turned into The Walking Dead MMO Very Happy Much more interesting that all this talk about butterflies Razz Well all the lore stuff seems interesting and now that I saw the skill-tre..circle looks OK too.

Don't know the MMO part though, 99% single player for me so far. Helped to kill couple zombies of other players and light a player on fire by accident (Devil Troll). Well of course everyone is far more ahead and only now the game says I could join parties on missions.

Oh and remote mission completion possible with (selectable) rewards on that screen too \o/ How I hate runnig back to start of first mission if you have picked up others on the way and need to head somewhere else. So big plus on that and even the annoying controls aren't that bad anymore as I noticed there is autoaim on the selected target and new one is selected once you kill previous one.

Definitely got to play this once it's F2P, hopefully soon. Just this free weekend will give them more players, so might take a year or 2.

Which is good, despite the fact that Funcom's stocks have dropped by 50%, which they blame on low Metacritic scores. Honestly, that site should just be binned - it's causing nothing but shit in the industry.

I know! Metacritic it's a plague for this world. I mean, there are lot of things there that fared far better than that site lead you to believe. Hell, even cult movies or games fared poorly in the eyes of Metacritic.

ffs. they should not blame metacritic, IF they dont offer a free trial of the game.
beta was shitty, but i'm willing to give it another try. how ? i cannot (unless i pay 50$). and because of that i will go visit metacritic/eurogamer/whatever to see what normal users say about it. not payed redactors.

why blame metacritic/whatever, when is your fault for not providing a way for people to see what a great game you have ?

Mate, we are not talking about the game failing. Read carefully: the game sells better than expected. The friggin' stock is down, as the review scores at Metacritic are low - that's what they are saying. I mean the game is making a profit, but the stock is going down, because the shareholders (people that know jack about games) look on Metacritic and see a failure, while the game is actually making a profit. How fragged up is that?!

And you have stuff like that all over: Obsidian not being able to get their bonus because it didn't reach 85 Metacritic score, companies hiring personnel that have worked on at least 1 game that had 90 score on Metacritic....

That's what are we talking here, mainly.

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/the-secret-world-new-trial-first-raid-instance-revealed-august-update-details/

Seems people can get a 3 day trial if they sign up before the 19th of August and you can play your trial whenever you want. If you manage to complete 30 missions in those 3 days, Funcom gives you an extra 2 days of play time. It's still pretty ridiculous for an MMO to have not have a standard free trial, so yeah.. Funcom only have themselves to blame.

how many mmo's have trial right from the start ? right ... none (i am sure someone gives me some shady example lol, but we all know this to be true).

Them now offering a 3 day trial, so close after release, is probably faster then any other mmo so far (that wasn't failing badly like swtor haha).
