So, Now that most of us have played

[Hamma]

Now that most of us have had some gametime, and you really dont have an excuse not to try the game (FilePlanet Public Beta) what do you think of it? Are you going to buy/subscribe? Or are you going to make your way out of the community and find another game?

i think im gonna stick with it a while mate , seems good to me , atleast till eq 2 comes out

[Venoxile]

i got an excuse, fileplanet's so full and their servers are too slow. Every time i get to 12% done (after 4 hours of downloading) it just stops.

[Hamma]

ahh the wonders of FilePlanet

[r3d]

More like the dreads of file planet
I always hated that place, first themake a fileplanet exclusive movie, then they start giving away free PS, one catch though
You can start the download, But itll be a miracle if it finishes!

[ObnoxiousFrog]

I'm addicted to PS. I hope i won't end up like that one EQ addict that shot himself after realizing that he had no life outside of Everquest...

[Vash]

Planetside is my god... at least until something else grabs me

[tmartinez72]

I'm signing up the day it hits the store shelves.

Still wish it was $20/month or $2/hr, but that's just me.

[Shadowspawn]

I'm not going to continue with the game

As a FPS its pretty good

as an RPG type game its not very good at all

I prefer RPG type games , and for me, there just isn't a whole lot of replayability in the game

there's only so many ways to frag someone in a game like this, and because of the faster paced action i think a lot of the social aspects of the game are less developed

that's just my 2 cp tho


What I'm really waiting for, is something to come along that inpires the dedication, and insanity that Everquest did when it 1st came out


There has been NOTHING since EQ that's come out that's been anywhere near as addicting

At first I didn't think I would enjoy a FPS game because I was too old and my 'twitch' skills I had from playing my Intellivision and Atari in my youth have faded but I really am having a good time playing. I die a lot because I'm not as quick as some but I don't get my squad killed due to stupidity and I keep a level head on the battlefield when things go bad.

One thing that gets me though is it is virtually impossible to go /afk in the game unless in a sanctuary and not be afraid to come back and find myself dead. This isn't good for me since I have small children and one of them is still in diapers.

On the whole though, I really like this game and will continue to play it. Of course I never intend to be uber or 1337 so I can still play and fail and not get too worried about it. How long I keep my subscription active will be based on my experiences post release and whatever changes the devs have planned for the game in the long term.

I would play it if my system got >1 fps in large battles.

AthlonXP 1700+ @ 1.5ghz
Geforce4 TI4600
1 gig PC2100 DDR
ATA133 RAID 0
SoundBlaster Live Xgamer
WinXP pro

[Destroyeron]

I will definetely be getting Planetside. Even though I may be limited to small squirmishes with my 56k (atleast until the cable ISp get off their asses). I think I'll enjoy it. It also depends on how much money I can make for subscriptions...

[Hellsfire123]

Thats the first person ever to want to pay more for the game then they are charging. Now im just confused.

Anyway, ill be playing PS for as long as i can. I like both RPG and FPS games, but obviously FPS more. With the fast pace and intense large scale battles im more then satisfied, but match that up with classing (Max, infil, medic, eng, grunt, sniper, AV) and ive got enough role play to keep me addicted for awhile. Sure its not EverQuest RPG, but its enough.

Currently playing a TR infil with a repeater and advanced hacking. This is so much fun lol.

[HawkEye]

planetside is the best. i play it every chance i get. i plan on buying it when it hits shelves.

7 month old here! I moved from Tribes 2 to Asherons Call 2 just because of that reason. Now Im playing PS for the pure joy of it. I don't care about levelling (did that in AC2), i don't care about practicing and training my skills for top level competition (T2)....im just here to get a couple kills each night with people who don't care when i get up for 5 minutes at a time in the middle of huge battles.
