Defiance - An ongoing review

First topic message reminder :

So I'm going to do a review for Defiance. If you're not aware of this title, it's a third person shooter MMO which is being tied into a TV series of the same name being shown on SyFy in a couple of weeks. The idea is that the TV show and game will both have influences on each other and it's an interesting concept which if it works will be amazing.

But I've already hit a snag. First up a word of warning to people, this game requires a mandatory 5GB install to play. There is no way round that, secondly as fans of MMO's will know when you first get an MMO after release there are patches and these can take some time to download. With a 30 minute install period past already and a potential 30 minutes of patch to download, I am currently leaving this to be done overnight. This is not a game you can play as soon as you get it out of the box.

I will be maintaining this ongoing thread telling you of my adventures and feelings as I get prepared to review this. MMO's are not easy beasts to review so for those interested in the game keep checking this page as updates go up. I'll post the final review up at the end of the month if feasible at that time.

Definately guys, i have started a thread in host a game night - there should hopefully be about half a dozen of us to start with , fingers crossed

The updates/patching on this game get right on my fucking nerves!
