Well, decided to create a post for this since I could not find one with a search.
Anyone going to buy this?
I've been hoping enough people buy it from steam, so could get all the prepurchase bonuses and get the rift bundle to give away
Missed/Missing the beta since I'm away from the desktop and using just a shitty laptop.
The video makes me think of Borderlands, with more people.

Played beta, it was not particularly good. It seems to rely a lot on shooting mechanics instead of traditional RPG elements of MMOs. And shooting is really not that great, especially when compared to Firefall (or Planetside 2).
Advancement also seems limited, you just get a fairly small grid of unlockable skills.
In short, it felt to me like an MMO with all the deep elements stripped out of it, with below average shooting mechanics.
But what can you expect from a MMO made for x360/ps3

+1, played all 3 beta's, it's ok, but not worth my full time invested.

Well let's hope the show is better than the game then. (it shouldn't be that hard I guess, but one never knows these days)
First of all - the primery platform for this are consoles. Unfortunately.
The textures are mediocre at best, the UI is console based (designed for wheel and triggers), the chat is almost nonexistent.
The inventory and character customization are really bad. There is no explanation to what do what. And there is no real progression - you gain something ala levels, that lets you choose some shitty perks. There are some good ones but really you want see any difference in gameplay if you spend any points in them.
And because of lack of stats and progressively better loot, there is no sense of advancement in this game. At least for the 6-7 hours I spend in this weekend's beta.
I was really looking forward to it, hoping it will be Tabula Rasa ressurected but it turns out to be an uninspiring MMO TPP shooter.

seeing as this is a mmo, is this even worth playing on hacked consoles? It's a new game so for ps3 they are probably banning CFW's. I guess those who's using discs for the 360 is the only one who can enjoy this.
no but you wouldnt be interested anyway so why troll here, there been plenty of beta weekends everyone who have internet could participated , and its shooter mmorpg, those are rare.. not like you miss them under 200 assian grind games..( we get like translated in a year so well hardly can miss those too )
It's a third person mmo shooter with just a little tint of rpg - you get perks once in a while. Think of more down-to-earth Borderlands but without fun loot and generic enemies and on larger scale of course, in terms of players.
Just watch some gameplay movies. I recommend the ones from arkfall events where players drive half the map to restock the ammo
Rift was generic as hell. For an American developed MMO it sure felt Korean in every way. I saw a gameplay trailer for this game, and while it looks refreshing as a MMO it kind of feels like a mixmash of Borderlands and Gears of War and the cinematics of The old Republic.. I'm gonna keep an eye on it, but it certainly isn't a preorder for me. Would love a way to test it though to see if i felt differently when playing.
It is fun can give it that. But it wont last. Shallow shooter+shallow rpg+console UI makes it a shallow game overall.
Perfect for casual gameplay. Not worth the price they are asking tho.
It's Tabula rasa with a Mass Effect feel to it. Only novelty they have is that it has a TV show but knowing Syfy's track record that show will probably only last one or two years (me being optimistic with that). And I gotta say after seeing the trailer I actually think I probably end up not liking the show. Looked on the same level as Revolution.
I do hope I'm wrong tho, since we could use some more quality scifi.
Don't expect any depth or heavy RPG elements.
Oh right... Their community... Typical console derps and shooter bro's. Luckily for the game the chat is non existent, and you'll only deal with that on their forums.
In a nutshell:
Don't pre-order (but that counts for 90% of today's games), try it out first. You'll have fun, but the appeal wont last long.
Depending on their success I would guess prolly not soon. If sales were low and they need more players you could see it soon.
But I don't think they'll do badly on sales, look at what their target audience is and well...
Just have to check game charts by sales, you won't find the best and brightest on there either
Dafaq already selling a season pass for a discount for the 5 first dlc's. Great, a MMO with nickel and diming instead of doing full content expansion packs.

I think you're referring to the discount at steam, which was a discount if the tier 3 preorder amount is reached.
So, it's not really discounted, they're most likely just selling it for the price they pay to Trion.
