Age of Conan

I put together my impression of AoC in the review entitled 'Age of Conan: The Review. "A great Game with a fatal Flaw"'. Read it HERE.  Please take a look and let me know what you think.

 UPDATE: I added a few paragraphs to the review based on many of your comments. I know there is still a lot about this game I havnt touched on. However, the NDA is still in effect and I already tread way to close to that line (even crossing it a bit). I will keep it updated and please feel free to keep commenting.

Thanks All!

Excellent review thanks for writing it!

Nice read, altough i consider the High Requirements to play more like Evolution, not a flaw.

Flaw is trying to play the game without the necessary tools to enjoy it.

Nice review, well done, I agree with the author about the fatal flaw.

Nice review.

I do agree that a lot of people probably won't be able to run AoC...BUT, technology moves forward...it isn't stagnant and graphics can't look like they are from 1999 forever.

Not a bad write up at all. But reviews are for finished products, for example it would be nice for someone to write up looking from the outside in about the PvP servers come release. Also its billed as a Guild Vs Guild game, yet there is no mention of this in your review? Did you join any groups? what was group play like with the different classes, how did you find this? How do classes work off one another etc?

I liked your write up of your experiences you had, will you be intending to update with some of the above?

Yea, there is a Lot to AoC I did not cover. I will add more as they come forward. Guilds are certainly something that I am working on.

just stay in touch with the article, and keep the comments (both pro and Con) coming. I dont mind criticism, so long as its constructive.

Thanks all

Personally I'm all for higher requirements when it comes to hardware for your PC.  For the past ~3 years more or less everybody's been playing WoW and their PC's have been in the same state since the day they upgraded them to where they could run WoW in a flawless manner.  If they have a problem with the current specs then I'm sure they were complaining about not being able to play WoW on their Pentium 2.  It's one of those inevitable arguments that are gonna come up every time someone or something pushes the currently established boundaries.

If someone does not lead, no one will follow.

Indeed Illius.

ONe could infer that if the worst part about the game was actually extrinsic to the gameplay itself, thats a good thing. However, I wrote the article from a practical standpoint.
