[Official] Age of Conan

Hmm i'm not 100% inpressed with the combat system, i really dont like the chat system although the graphics i am 100% impressed with. The graphics alone wont get me to play the game though.

Although i logged in wow and still stood there with nothing to do :(

lvl 20 Dark Templar

I actually have to say the combat system has really grown on me, though I almost wish they wouldn't have tied the combos to an ability button. Just let you keep chaining them if you know what you want to do as you gain the new combos. Creates a lot of extra clutter when you want to use multiple strengths of the same ability. Would improve the flow of combat as well.

Some confusion too:

-No DX10 at launch

-NA got the exact same version and EU (they both got genital nerfed with a nasty grey thong) - Zee Germans are the unlucky ones that got the neutered version. The US got nipples by Crom!

I love this game. I always have something to do, and the combat system is perfect for me. Not too complex, but a lot more involved than just hitting auto attack and choosing a special ability every once in a while.

I am glad about the NA version, just waiting for a demo so I can make sure I want to buy it. Is it pay to play, I am sure it is?

[Olemus]

Yeah its pay to play, the games well how can i say "not bug free" at the minute, and i really cant see them doing any trial accounts for months to come.

[Olemus]

Just dont be crazy like me and spend ?700 on a new machine just to play this game:pp

[fudzk]

Guess what I find out.

Maybe if you want something on a smaller scale look at Guild Wars. You'll still get the social aspect but the game plays out a bit more like a conventional single player game due to the game being partially on rails as well as using instanced zones.

Obviously not what you bought your machine for, but if you want to try an online RPG and the MMORPG's are a bit overbearing for you that may be a good alternative.

That or stick with it for a bit longer and you may warm to it. To really get much out of the game you need to have other people to play with but. I quit WoW after getting borred and not wanting to grind for another 40 - 50 levels to catch up with my friends on the server. had I had ppl I knew and was playing with I'd likely still be on there. This time with conan I'll be starting out with about a dozen mates from my CSS/TF2 clans so I'm optimistic I'll have more fun.

I played guild wars when it first launched and loved it. They took a while to get the first x-pack out though and I got bored. The only thing I was missing was the ultimate armor.

It was a really good game though!

Maybee I should try reading a book again. (seriously)

That is basically my system, except my new videocard has not come yet.

And I have the same problem, most MMO/RPG etc games tend to be too much for me, I like to actually finish a game lol, but I was hoping this one had some better features and and such that would keep me going. That is why I was hoping for an earlier demo for it, might just have to buy it.

This is why I hate the 17 or older **** for buying M rated because I see it in the store and can't buy it so I have to order it and wait... 2 days and no tracking # i'm pretty ****ed =/.

Finally got a friend to sent me an invite (or whatever you call it).

Should be playing it tonight! Then if I like, it's a buy.

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Any trials for this game?

I'm pretty strapped for cash just now. Had to stop paying my WoW subscription for a bit as well :p

[gigapixels Veteran]

No trials and the buddy keys are still locked away until they decide the servers can handle it. Otherwise I'd give you one.

Wonder how you got one... I still can't generate one yet.
