Video Games : Age of Conan (PC)

Rating: - now come on guys
this game is only good because of the combo's. everyone knows this, yet people try to say because its the graphics, as they have a poor computer, or its because the game play is innovative, ie they suck at MMo's. The reason this sells is because it is adult (ie boobies) as they tried to do something different from the everquest 2 formula (which WoW followed). If you want a good MMo, ie something that will last beyond the 30 days free ( I'm 38 on AoC on my 3rd day, max lvl 80 by the way) then try everquest two (not vangaurd...), If you want something popular but easy try WoW ( i got to 67 within 5 weekslus several alts) if you want something different then try Tabula rasa. It is different but has a bad rep. tried it since beta, and it is good, if short lived.

If you don't follow into these categories wait for Warhammer: age of reckoning (sorry bad at spelling). It is good and should atleast be tried. In depth game with many new characteristics. Try to avoid this game if your a serial gamer, you will be disappointed. The combos are simple 1-2-3 combo's (the first strret fighter is harder) combined with the abiltiy to see (baddies have shields on left (1), right (3) or center (2)). Easy and am bored of it after 5 days....

Cheers all

Rating: - Second Hand copies
Can I just advise people to be very wary buying this game second hand. I bought a copy through Amazon from one of the dealers who said it was unused. After loading the game in and trying to register the key code I was told that the code had already been used. Trying to get an answer out of Funcom to ask if I could re-register was hopeless I am still waiting three weeks after emailing them. So save yourself a lot of hassle and just buy a new copy.

Rating: - Don't Waste Your Time
Bought this game after reading some very good reviews. It looks fantastic and will look even better when they re-implement the DX10 which they removed just after launch. First few weeks or playing and you will enjoy it. But the time you max out your character at lvl 80 you will be board and very frustrated. At lvl 80 there is nothing to do the PvP is very poor and the endgame raids you will have done at 75-80.

The game is riddled with 100's of bugs most of the quest related and you cannot play the game for more that 2hrs without it crashing and you having to re-boot it. The classes are very unbalanced with casters being the best by far. Funcom just do not seam to listen to the players and carry on blinkered thinking there game is perfect.

Do yourself a favour go buy something else, most of the lvl 80's are quitting and doing just that.
