With reasonable expectations like those, you can't lose!

I reckon EG will savage it. I reckon they'll hate everything about it, and give it a 4/10 at best, with phrases such as "floaty, unsatisfying combat", "shallow" & "weak story". None of which I feel would be true, but I just have a feeling EG are going to play opposite land to my opinion.

I like floaty movement, it's more like platforming!

I don't really care what joe bloggs says about it.I have played the beta for 3 days,enjoyed it.

It is like a stranger telling me not to eat my wifes wonderful cooking.

It won't be reviewed for a while though will it? MMO's can't be reviewed properly on release.

@fletch7100
I decided to cancel because it wasn't even on processing, and shopto have seriously fucked up my last 2 orders where one I got the dispatch email only to then dissapear from my account. All shopto said was hmm seems to have got stuck. Then I got three emails saying they have dispatched a game that I already received days before. So I changed to simplygames, only they didn't sell this. So I'v lost all faith and just going get it in town on Tuesday. ;-)

This is probably gonna take up a big chunk of HDD space, right?

Oh yeah. PC asks for 15GB but uses about 10, so I reckon that'll be in the same area. FFXI was a real space hog too.

Awww, got a cuddly email from my time on the 360 beta:

YOU'RE THE BEST. REALLY.

You'll think I say that to all our Beta testers (I do), but it's true - you took a chance and blew us away with top-shelf feedback. You saw a small fraction of the final game, and in the case of console, put up with older code with issues that we already made fixes for in the launch release, but you also showed us a huge future for Defiance�.

Now we look forward to showing you the real, more polished game while we act on your feedback to deliver continuous updates that improves our obsession. That's the beauty of a server-side game - constant updates that are fast like whoa.

Enough rattling on. Thanks again - really - for putting in the hours to push us over the top. We look forward to living up to expectations and to delivering new missions, weapons, challenges and more. Free. Over and over again.

Co-op troubles: apparently, if you invited to a group in the overworld and couldn't see chums, you had to go to Party -> Your Name -> click 'Go to Leader' and that'd sort it...

Deleted user 29 March 2013 12:28:08

Plus you can plug in keyboards on 360 (and obv PS3). Hurrah.

@RedSparrows I wish I'd known that 'Go to Leader' thing last week, but at least it has a function.

Didn't spend much time in the menus, to be honest. Bugs to hunt.

I went into game today to preorder their Limited Edition but they couldn't tell me the price would you believe!!! Fella said won't know till Monday. I told him well if it's same as online game.uk �39.99 I'll buy it, but.... If like most games in the shop it's �44.99 I don't want it. He said well if so it is the higher price your �5 deposit can be put on a gift card.??? This is why they are failing the twats.

Deleted user 29 March 2013 13:27:39

It's listed at �65 on the Gamestop site in Ireland, another reason why I ordered from shopto.

What system, StaffyDog? The LE on 360 from GAME has been delayed due to an issue with the publisher. It's a joke that they can't tell you what price it'll be though, that's ridiculous for a game out in less than a week.

Aye: I think it's the case where you're in one dimension of the server shard, and then your chum is on another. By using this function you force the game to put you together.

news about HDD space required for Xbox version.

just to play the game requires 10gb(game is meant to be around 5gb, other 5gb probably for updates etc

The first 5 DLC will take up a combined total of 10Gb.

i like the co op box 2-10,000+

I've just had a thought - it's going to be chaos at first with the pre-order/limited edition weapons. Nigh-on EVERYONE will have fancy pants weapons then do weird stuff! Don't get me wrong, it'll be fun chaos, but still chaos!

MMO= Eating your memory space.

I don't like wearing fancy pants to start any game,give me those brown ones with holes in every time.

Servers go live on the 2nd of April. Even if you find a retailer who'll get it to you early, the servers aren't on yet so you won't be able to play it.

You can't preload it yet either, though I believe they should allow that this weekend.

Edit: Apparently you can actually preload it direct from Trion, but not through Steam.

In that case, I'm not suggesting arson, but accidents happen. Sometimes firey ones.
