Darkfall was certainly hyped by the PVP audience (all eight). I never seen the "hype" about this game and with the mentioning of 30mins of play goes the rest of the credibilty of the "review". The kill quest at the beginning are lame, but then again you have the combat system as the new element there, whereas in the other games you have a slightly different quest (arguable) but the uber lame combat system and all that (arguably) -- how is that "better"? Some people just need their dose of DikuDrug and I can understand that. Age of Conan was hype. Darkfall was certainly hyped by the PVP audience (all eight).

Games have got to distinguish themselves with more than gimmicky interfaces and pricing schemes. That said, I think if the content were noticeably stronger from the get-go, people could tolerate a lot more of the same gameplay.

Cheers The shortest lived game for me.

This game really just does all the MMO conventions, and the devs phoned in this performance…
