Fallen Earth MMO

[Tamas]

This is due out in a week, take a look for yourself, looks very promising. Post-apocalyptic, with stuff like XP for crafting!

Any word on it?

[Jaron]

This looks really cool.

I'll need to see a review or something before I chip in tho!

[Razgovory]

It's not some eastern European production is it?

[Tamas]

There is only a single server, and it is in the United States. BTW it seems they are going the EVE way with a single well-populate server, and player-driven economy.

Really people, look around on the webpage, this looks to be very interesting.

I would tell you my first impressions if I weren't waiting on some ultra-so servers to download the 4 gigs.

Oh btw if you purchase, download the open beta client from fileplanet because that means 200 megs of patches for retail rather than a 4 gigs patching process by the launcher which is SLOW

Is anyone going to try it and report back?

[The Brain]

The map sucks. Also I tried to start the 1936 scenario but crashed.

[crazy canuck]

This could be good.

Crafting looks interesting and it looks like they are trying for the right feel for the game.

But as usual it all comes down to how well it actually works.

The game uses FPS combat

I hate FPS games.  It is supposed to be some kind of melding of FPS and RPG mechanics, whatever that means.  I will have to wait to see how this actually works.

Lets wait for Tamas to report, then wait for someone more reputable reports back. Tamas did recommend Vanguard.

The "can't-piss-without-a-group" game?  I think I'll steer well clear of this one.

You may want to wait for a review from someone other than Jaron.

What is that supposed to mean? And where did I offer to review this game? I'm too tight financially to be buying games period.

All I said was Tamas' past recommendations have not been good, and Habbu should wait for some reviews to be released or for someone else to try it out.

Always trying to undermine me, you treacherous scoundrel.

Well yeah, I was trying to point out that you hadn't played it yourself, so I wasn't sure exactly why Habs was writing it off.

Plus, you know, the undermining you part.  Sorry bout that.

[Tamas]

Habs, Jaron talked about Vanguard as an example of my recommendation going wrong, and did not compare Fallen Earth to Vanguard.

As for Jaron's original point, he was all over that game like a flaming homo.
