I'm not going to post them here but there are a few leaked game screenshots floating around. They mostly suck though.
Ya, and I've talked to several testers now. They all complain about the same problems, and agree that the game is a turd. It's only a matter of time before the flood gates open, and the shit spews out. Hmmm, Is it a turd because of technical problems or game design issues? Can't it be both? |

In Turdland all poo smells of roses. Turdland = MMOs these days So if all MMOs are turds, having one designated as such isnt so bad.  Just a matter of which is a fresh, juicy turd and which are dried up biofuel (old turds that have long since burnt out). DF should be nice, fresh, and juicy and I wont mind taking a whiff since my smell receptors are desensitized. Now, the composition of that turd is the "?." We talking Montezuma's Revenge turd or a Macrobiotic diet turd? We shall see... after first glance if it's runny and gnasty obviously it's sewerage and I'm not buyin it. |

While I agree that it is fun to see naive fainboys crushed, I am kind of dissapointed that Darkfall is going to become another turd in the crowd. I am running out of MMO's to play here
I'd pick another genre of games. You could always go back to AoC... it's much better now. Honest, guv.... problem is no one is playing it except me. It's Marilyn Monroe, very beautiful, very public, and very lonely. |

Aren't you the least bit curious about what they are doing with the Secret World Draegan?
Hmmm, Is it a turd because of technical problems or game design issues?
The latter. Well that's "fine." |

Isn't it worse if it's design issues?
Techical issues can always be resolved, but if the fundamental design of a game is borked, well then that means the game itself is a bloody mess.

Design flaws are subject to opinion so I guess there is hope in that statement! Unless you can provide more info it's still a guessing game. For example I think EVE's gameplay and skill training is a bad game design issue. People love it though.

We are talking horribly flawed design.
Imagine designing a new luxury airplane. You decide to leave out the cockpit to save time and cut costs. Instead you supply a rope so the pilot and passenger can strap themselves to the fuselage.

Airplane travel has gone too soft! We want a plane that supports the hardcore travellers! |

There was some leaked info on the Boxed Set too.

I've sometimes thought about putting a new IPY up to test the experience I gained and attempt to solve the problem of player justice and create a long term viable PvP+ world.
I realize it'd fail. Although I'd continue to learn, which is good.
But still - that'd be a small scale experiment with minimal investment and an actual plan for addressing the inevitable and generally obvious problems based on actual experience.
These guys are making a large investment, going in blind with no experience whatsoever, and with no plan or even desire to address any problem beyond how gay carebears r.
I think we could have probably all guessed it was the latter.

Even if you had a great concept and follow up design for a PVP game like this, why would anyone spend a dollar making something for these people? That particular community thrives, much like a parasite, when a game is made that is attractive for a significant number of non-members to join. At which point they'll do everything they can to destroy your player base and scourge it from the earth.
If anything, they deserve this game.

Seems like awfully overcomplicated way to beg for a fellatio. And seeing how he post-processed every single second of Darkfall footage there, i fear the game isn't quite hardcore and edgy enough for him. |

I am actually seriously impressed.
Zero marketing budget and they've gotten the name of their game out there, and created a strongly differentiated brand. They understand their audience very well.
They'll probably still end up with ATITD sub levels for all the reasons everyone else has written here. But it's brilliant marketing given what they have to work with.

You could call their marketing a lot of things, but brilliant isn't one of them. |

Mindless rebel posturing is totally played out. I like how they think their playbase is too dumb to make the connect between the lyrics and game, they had to spell it out. |

For all who believe it's never coming out and or it's vaporware... They just said it's coming out on Jan 22 for EU and a month later for America. So yea... FUCK YOU! 3. There is lore, and if you don't like pvp you're a queer. Youtube is funneh. |

That video was hilarious. Also, someone posted about Darkfall on a small private board I visit and referred to it as a "Wow Killer", to which I laughed, a lot.

They probably posted it there because they would get laughed off the Darkfall forums as well.

I can't imagine why. Anyone still following the game is as laughable as that video unfortunately. |

3. There is lore, and if you don't like pvp you're a queer. Yes, yes I am. Proudly waving the rainbow banner of non-consensual pvp is evil for quite some time now. Also, queer as a 3-dollar bill. Have we already started the Darkfall = Daikatana meme-thingy yet? If not, I claim I started it here  |

Darkfall and Daikatana aren't even comparable. If you want to stretch lines so thin that they can be compared, we might as well just start comparing it to anything, willy nilly.
I'm not giving Darkfall credit for being "better" than Daikatana in any way - but comparable, in any normal matter - they are not.
