No.

 

 

Because I probably don't like the same things in a game you do. And neither do all those people doing negative reviews. The performance issues...well, that's something you should wait for release to see if they are still in game (in a gamebreaking way) then.

 

If you are so uncertain, I will tell you what I tell everyone on these forums these days. Wait for release, grab a buddy-key or wait for reviews of the finished game. Also, do not limit yourself to -THIS- particular Forum with reviews, because it is the crappiest place to get one, full of biased Forum-Warriors on either side of the fence. Try for reviews from people you know and trust and not from anonymous strangers.

 

Or wait until you can get a Trial. In any case. Do not pre-order if you do not feel certain. Simple as that. But give the game a chance to launch. You won't lose money doing that.

The way I look at it is that the people who are not coming out and writing previews of the game have two reasons.

1.  They are enjoying it far too much to bother come here and write a preview, or

2.  They understand what they are playing is not exactly (how close is up for debate) what the final build is going to be, and are waiting until beta closes to give a preview in order to best reflect what they know of the game.

I don't pretend to think this game or its release will be spotless, but people who have negative views are more often than not the ones that speak out, while the ones with positive views are too busy being content-its this way with almost anything in the world.

TRY IT before buying it. If it works fine for you + you like it, take it. it's your choice your money.

That's my point of vue. wait for a trial and try it. (not immediatly imo)

The OB is a disaster, worst than VG.
Wait for final release + patches.

 

For all MMORPGS: a trial a trial a trial even oldest and more polished ones.

I suggest you wait a couple of months after release to decide. I myself love this game. It is really a new fresh next generation MMORPG game. But as every new MMORPG it's has flaws, imbalance, bugs etc that will be fixed eventually.

I'm currently playing the Open Beta, and it's enough for me to play it from release. I played Eve-online since the start 2003, and is used to
bugs, daily crashes etc. In the end it was all forgiven due to high fun-factor.

This is almost like asking"hey do I look good with this sweatshirt on?"

How can anyone help you decide what you like?Like has been said maybe try for a buddy key or wait for a trial,At the end of the day this game like any other wont be for everyone.

"Blades don“t need reloading."

If I would care what others think, I couldn't play any game. The common mood towards every game released is "they suck". And everytime there is little more in the background.

Someone has just bought a new character from ebay, loaded with epix in WoW and he is scared that all his buddies are leaving him. So that makes the new game sh*t.

Someone has whining wife and mortage to pay, so he can't afford a decent computer. So that makes the new game sh*t.

Someone has just too fat fingers and can't fit more than one in the keyboard same time so combos become impossible. So that makes the new game sh*t.

Someone has even "disabled the firewall and virus program" on the background and THAT doesn't make the game run smoothly either. He has no reason to think his computer is suffering from loads of trojans and malmware. So that makes the new game sh*t.</
