Defiance Review | Gaming Trend

Gaming Trend: "Check out the show, by all means – it looks like a refreshing, shoot-‘em-up romp through the distant future – but at the end of the day, I defy you to play this thing and enjoy it for more than fifteen minutes."

Might not be the best game in the world. But, but more fun once you get into it. There's more variety of weapons as you go on. At first you only see a few types of weapons, but as you level up you find a lot more variety. I've seen about 5 kinds of grenades (standard one, one that fragments, one that burns that area for several seconds, a snare, and a flash-bang so far), and several types of missile launchers (standard / homing missile, one that fragments upon impact, one that sticks to the target and explodes a few seconds later, and one that you can fire into the air and fragment it to rain down grenades when you hit reload), just to name a few. Hell, even found a double barrel shot gun that fires sticky exploding rounds.

On the PS3, I've only had 1 patch. Also, does no MMO ever have any patches? Guild Wars 2 releases minor updates at least once a week to fix any bugs or for maintenance, and WoW has patches every so often as well. Patches to fix bugs are always nice. The only problem I've love fixed that'd bump the game from a C+ to a B tor me would be DCing issues (and not from my connection as I've never DCed from the PSN and my comp/phone/roommates comp has yet to DC at all when I've had problems). Though still not as bad as trying to play Diablo 3 when it came out and lagging /dcing in single player repeatedly.

As for lack of people, the starting area after a bit tends to be dead for a reason. Everyone is out exploring the rest of the place, doing group events, etc. I always see a ton of people around arkfalls and it doesn't take long at all to get into a co-op match.

p.s. What MMO / online open world game has shown you every type of enemy, every variety of weaponry, etc in the first 20 min (the time it took the reviewer to stop playing, which is pretty much the intro to the game and maybe first few missions)? I know Guild Wars 2 starts you off pretty much with your races evil faction and the surrounding indigenous enemies (Flame legion, ghosts of ascalon, grawl etc for Charr). Unless you're Sylvari, you don't really see any undead till much later.

If they iron out the bugs, it'll be worth the $60 for a non subscription mmo.

I had a good time with the original Defiance years back, honestly.

Silly gameAr1155d ago

Me too. I remember putting a lot of hours into it before it went free to play. After, it went f2p, I didn't play it near as much, but it makes me nostalgic.

darthv721155d ago

I liked the show and picked up a sealed collectors edition of the 360 game for $5 at a thrift store a couple years ago.

isarai1155d ago

It had a good run honestly, way better than it had any business being, especially for it to be part of a tv series

boing11155d ago

Yeah, I'm surprised it went for so long too. Tried the game but didn't click for me. I liked the TV series, though.

isarai1155d ago

I gave it about a dozen hours, was fun even tho MMOs aren't my thing. But to even keep me around that long is impressive lol

psynetik1231155d ago

Paid $11 for this POS way back and I still felt ripped off

Usually pro has the higher or more stable fps. Hopefully that trend doesn’t happen again this game.

thrust2182d ago

Xbox X a lot more powerful allways the better 3rd party games, The truth hurts 👍

bluefox7552181d ago

@thrust Yeah, the newer, more expensive hardware seems to play games a little better. Shocking, right? Personally, I like 60fps on most games, so I go for the best version, on PC, not X.

RobLoPR2181d ago

@bluefox... so PC is cheaper than Xbox One X?

rdgneoz32181d ago

"allways the better 3rd party games"

Because it has no good first party games since they all get delayed or canned?

Realms2181d ago

@ thrust

No the truth is that a good PC runs circles around the X but some of you constantly try to make it seem like the X is better than PC wrong.

@ RobLoPR

You gotta love the goal posting the argument isn't about price point the argument is where you can get the best performance and the answer is PC. MS fanboys love taunting the power card the only problem is that a good PC can and always will outperform consoles.

iplay1up22181d ago

That is not true. Time and time again the X has been the best platform for 3rd party games. Usually FPS on the X are higher too. Just look at Assassins Creed Origins X compared to Pro Digital Foundry has.

Next Gen it wont matter. I just don't know what Sony and Microsoft are planning for next gen. This is the first MAJOR mid gen upgrade for a console. I just paid $499 for Xbox One X, and Pro is $399. If next gen starts in 2019. What kind of power will the consoles have? What price?BTW, not only does the X have more power than pro, but also a 4K BluRay player. Which Pro doesn't have. That is what makes the X $100 more than pro.

Oh we're talking hardware, because I was going to list some other differences.

nowitzki20042182d ago

I seen an article in gameinformer that MS will be releasing an Xbox One F. $899 with 8% increase over Xbox One X. First time I seen or heard anything about it. Is it true or was it a joke?

AnubisG2182d ago

Never heard of that. Most likely a joke.

nowitzki20042182d ago (Edited 2182d ago )

I didnt have time to read through it, but I really wouldnt be surprised so did not know how to take it lol.

I think its May 2018 issue.. Spiderman on cover.

slavish02182d ago

this is a last gen game it should be 4k60

PS3_Noob2181d ago (Edited 2181d ago )

If X could do 60fps compared to Pro 30fps may be it would matter more. Otherwise both can do well over 1080P which is more than enough. Games is what matters most.
