Yeah, I just got started with this game and my first impressions are really positive. I'm not an MMO veteran or anything, but I thought the character creation was great and the early part of the game really fun so far.crimzonflame said:

I jump from lot of MMO's and I think this is one of the most fun MMO's I've played so far. I think it lacks in depth and other technical issues, but I think it was designed with a much more casual feel to it and it just is good fun overall.
And really the "grind" in the game is non existent to me, it all moves very fast and never feel like I'm just doing something to grind XP. It's all very streamlined.

I got the two-face iconic hoodie on one character, but nothing of interest since then.
BTW, Jeff over at GB just gave this a 2 out of 5, with lots of comments that make me wonder how long he played it.

I got my Bizarro Cap back which I had in beta from the vault today.
If you complete all the duos in the same day am I right in saying it also gives you a mark of distinction as a bonus?
I'k playing on The Killing Joke(Popetita is my character Maseeru my psn id if u wanna add me) aand the audio just went really crazy and now I hear the game with some other guys talking and playing like it was someone recording of a TV screen! I even hear the moves of his characer muffled like.

I have only heard the opposite from the reviews I've read. Everyone who plays PC laments the PS3 focus of the game. Seems kind of weird that a review would end on a guess when I think they would also have the PC copy on hand to try. I've never read a Giant Bomb review before so maybe they make a habit of trolling at the end of each review.JWong said:

Funny, it's the least repetitive MMO I've ever played. Maybe he shouldn't review MMOs if they aren't really his type.

Yup never have I played such a fast paced moving MMO. I've been also playing right now LOTRO and Star Trek Online, and holy shit the grind and slowness of those games is so much more than DC.

That about sums it up. I would argue that the price of a computer better than the PS3 is a bit steep, but maybe the sight caters to a very niche audience.Giant Bomb said:
I really like the game but I completely agree with GB's review. Quests for the most part are about the same every time. How you can play the game without a keyboard or mouse is beyond me. Sure the abilities and all that may be easy with a controller but the social aspect just doesn't seem good without having the keyboard there. On the bombcast, Jeff stated he played about 15 hrs or so and has a level 30 character so I think thats more than enough time with the game to make an opinion especially since you can hit the level cap ao quickly.
I agree with his assessment of the queue system the most. Holy crap it takes forever to find a group. Im sure this will improve over time but still.

Who Gerstman or the GB member? Having the integrity to not be afraid of giving a game a poor review when it's a part of a marketing campaign on the site you work for is hardly unprofessional.

Good question. Well I guess if you want to take it as fucking your ex then then it's a curse because that's a stupid messy thing to do, one that's a quick road to more emotional stress.WonkyPanda said:

I'd say you can.
Not on your first playthrough though.
And not in 15 hours.
And not while you're writing a review at the same time. (I presume you'd take the time to take notes and screenshots and such.)
When I got the game last weekend, a friend and I went in blind and played for about 18 hours in the first 24 hours of ownership. We got to like level 18. We played pretty much separately because we chose different mentors and didn't really know what we were doing. My friend even re-rolled after he hit about level 10. I spent much more of my time in the options and character creation stuff.
If I rolled another I think I could grind to 30 in under 24 hours, especially now that I know how the game is laid out. But anyone doing that isn't really playing the game, they're just grinding.
it's possible to get to 30 in under 24 hours but it's still pretty hard. doing it on your first playthrough is impossible unless you have beta experience... and even then it's a tough order since for the most part the questing areas were heavily populated at launch. perhaps sony gave him a level 30 character to review the game?

This server maintenance and patch for PS3 bettwe fix the mic issues.
So I realize Death and Glory is the official PC PVP GAF server, but its high population has led to me getting ganked constantly by lv 30s. It's unplayable.
I rerolled on Cry for Blood and it's easy to avoid getting ganked as well as engage in open world pvp when you want to.
If there's anyone else on Death and Glory who feels the way I did, reroll on Cry for Blood and help me make a GAF league!

You are right. I bought both versions and yes, the PC version is really that much better, but you know what, the PS3 version is still pretty damn good. Until I played it on the PC a few days after I had it on the PS3, I was really impressed with it on the PS3. But, you also have to have a PC that cost around 3 times that of a PS3 to run it better.
If I only had a Ps3, I would be happy with the game becuase I think they did a good job. Of course when you run a PS3 version next toa 1,000-1500-2000 dollar PC yeah it better fucking run better.
MMO's on console are so rare and I think they did a fantastic job with the PS3 version of the game and you have to remember (although I am no pro at MMO'S), that MMO's traditionally start rough overall anyways and they are pateched more than any other type of game and they are also given more upgrades, add-on's etc than any other type of game.
When will you guys learn that Gerstmann doesn't actually play the games he reviews? He throws them in the machine for like an hour and a half, then writes his review by copying sections out of the manual. He's been busted on it repeatedly, and yet people still seem to trust his reviews for some reason.
