Widescreen Gaming Forum

Good to hear!

Now that you've got all the technical buggy issues sorted, what can ya say about the actual gameplay? I suppose i could look for a review online, but it'd be nice to hear about the story/quests/classes/controls from someone not getting paid to write it :)

Yeah, Jet, it's good to hear that they got their issues sorted so fast - early day teething problems with making sure the servers are good enough, I guess... ;)

I found the beta to be unbearably buggy. I also found the game to be very boring as well.

Graphics?
Fantastic.

Performance?
Terrible. Even on my friend's 8800.

Animations?
Well, in beta (I'm talking like one week before the game went live) half of my characters didn't even have animations. They just stood there while I attacked. I had to look at the chat bar to see if I was even doing anything.

Fun-factor?
Zilch. At least this game helped me catch up on some much needed sleep.

I made the mistake of pre-ordering the game because a few of my friends were excited about it. I now have the unopened game sitting on my desk. I can't decide whether to return it to EBGames/Gamestop, or waiting a few months and see how the game shapes up. A friend of mine in playing the game and he is saying how great it is. The problem is, I don't trust his opinion anymore. He said the same things about many MMOs before and got me to play some terrible games with him.... (RF online, Auto Assault, etc...).

I just ended up reactivating my City Of Heroes account and am once again having fun with it.

Excellent. It's amazing to me how CoH keeps me interested for so long. It's really not a very deep game, but it just works somehow.

Okay, that's enough threadjacking out of me! :P

I found the beta to be unbearably buggy.

Instead of going to a new car lot to purchase a car I went to the manufacturing plant where it was being built and I found the car to be hardly finished!

When I went to the assembly line the engine wasn't even in the chassis yet. Sure the paint job on the body looked nice but performance wise, I bet that car wouldn't even run right.

LOL


"I found the Beta to be unbearably buggy" will go down in history as the most ignorant statement in the history of the internet.

Want to explain to everyone here what wavelength you are on, or more importantly what hallucinogenic drugs you are ingesting on a daily basis?

I about fell outta my chair when I read that, rofl

This was a few days before the game went live brainiac. If they have a terribly buggy game at that point, chances are it's going to be in pretty much the same state when it ships.

I would have been far more forgiving had it been months before the game went live. If you want to read some idiotic posts, go find all of your posts on the Oblivion forums when that game came out. Remember this one Jetsonic? "The grass is too tall!!! Waaah! I can't see!"

Coming from you, I should take your criticisms as a compliment.

Sorry if you are taking my comment on your precious MMO personally, but even if you don't want to admit it, you know damn well the game wasn't ready to ship. And don't even get me started on the lack of actual content. Big, Beautiful, lifeless world... and it's ALL YOURS Jetsonic. Have fun chopping down trees.

I should actually thank you. You alone have helped me to decide to return my unopened Vanguard pre-order. With clowns like you running around in the game, the decision was pretty damn easy.

Although betas aren't meant to be polished and totally bug-free, late betas give a good indication on how good the game is.

WoW was damn fun and fully playable like half a year before release. It was already stable and ran at good framerates. With Sony Online Entertainment, beta really means alpha, and release means beta.

Amen CodE, Im really waiting for the wow killer i have my hopes up for warhammer.

I'll ask again as no one seems to have checked

Did they fix the -vert only widescreen yet?

Me and some friends are planning to start playing vanguard this summer as the most bugs will prolly be fixed and the gameplay improved, hopefully there will be a 7day trial as well ^^
