The game is gold. The open beta experience will be the exact same experience you'll get in the retail game, with the exception of having less people around to play with. Any impressions you get from the open beta will be just as they aree when the game comes out. Yes, the game is in a beta state, there is no disputing that. When the game enters retail, it'll be a beta title that was released prematurely.

Alright, so I managed to get my friends in after a really huge download which we got off a private FTP (beats FilePlanet's 20kbp/s) and managed to get our characters to level 13 or so after many hours of non stop powerplaying in-between server crashes, bugs and instability, and guess what? They all think that it sucks more than Everquest did at low levels. Being a closed beta player I can pretty much say that most, if not all the classes are terribly imbalanced and that instances are impossible without min/maxed characters due to the apparent nerfing of the warrior's taunt ability (which has a 10 second delay now but the same crappy efficiency). What's worse is how they took out the ability to retrain your talents so if you screw up on one character, you'll likely have to start over again because none of the raid-guilds will accept you as a member otherwise.

Suffice to say, none of us are going to buy this game. We'll just be getting Guild Wars when it comes out next year, instead. At least we all enjoyed the World Preview Event and the subsequent beta test.

I played the demo and loved it. I can't wait to buy this. GTA with robots!

LCDs... man, they're too expensive!

They're both based on the same crappy dated looking engine that looks worse than Rise of Nations which came out a while back. With games like Warhammer 40k being a good evolution of the genre's gameplay, and upcoming titles like Earth 2160 and Armies of Exigo being revolutionary in terms of graphics, I just don't see how this game, and Kohan II have any leg to stand on.

Just stay away from it.

I just tried this game and what can I say? It's excruciatingly, mind-numbingly boring. I think I'd rather replay Freelancer than play any more of this.

Looks like E3 hype has succeeded again. Yet another sequel of a game in development even before the original has had a chance to come out. If this isn't proof of overhype, I don't know what is.

Let's hope it doesn't turn out like Driv3r or those horrible Conker games.

You have to preorder the game in order to participate in the WPE. Downloading content is not enough, you have to have a verified account as well.

This game can go fuck itself.

G-Man = (G)ordon Free(man) from the future.
Alyx dies.

It's really stupid how a lot of people on pubs cheat, and VAC doesn't do a damn thing to curb their actions. It would be nice if Valve installed Punkbuster (as well as VAC) to keep those turds out. It worked for Enemy Territory, so there's no reason it wouldn't work for CS:S.

It'd be nice if they patched out those EMPORiO users, too.

Sacrifice was crap.

"though the only RPG they produced togheter was the original Baldur's Gate... "

Black Isle did not produce Baldur's Gate. They only published it.

To be released: 2015

This game can go fuck itself, too.

This piece of shit can go fuck itself.

On the sole reason that the box art is completely lame, and smells of value-ware.

Also, the publisher's decision to remove the multiplayer component of Bloodlines this late into its development is but a hint of the inferior quality of the game. I wonder if it could have been so bad that they removed it just to get Troika to finish work on the single player component. Up until now, the game's had its resources split between MP and SP.

I am going to be very wary about this game before I spend a hard 50 dollars on it.
