Planetside Retail - Page 3

You say dont play it if I dont like it... thats good, I dont play it, my original purpose of this post was to decide WHETHER I would buy retail. I played beta for awhile, and I wont deny PS is an awesome game. My concern is not that it is not a good game in essence - its whether it will remain a fun game long enough to justify the monthly payments. The reason I stopped playing beta was because I found that the only real form of battle was capping/defending bases that had no significant value - this soon grew dull. I was curious whether they had either installed (or are planning to) other objectives and other modes of combat (continents that actually truly are different, etc), which still has not really been answered - instead I have just gotten the same garbage spewed back in different forms.

As for CS, what I meant by that is that it offers more opportunity in my opinion - the same maps can be used for league play, which really doesnt get old. The only thing continents seemed to be used for in PS is base defending or capping, nothing besides raiding bases with no major significant value.

I really did not mean this to be an argument about the value of PS - I will agree that was a lot of fun to play for a short time. What I was inquiring about was whether any new things were being planned to be added... people answered saying that its an FPS, so therefore it for some reason does not need content. If that is true, then PS obviously is not worth the fee (for me at least).

OK this might help answer some of your questions

And man, if you dont like it, just dont play it.

You know games DO change...

How many times do I have to say it, I am curious IF they are adding new things - If they do I imagine I will like it, im not flaming the goddamn game, im asking for info.

They may not have added any new content yet, but the game has gotten alot better. I don't realy know why, but I was very bored with beta. I almost diddnt buy the retail version. Thankfully I made the purchase, and I have been enjoying every min. of it sence. I made a post asking why this was, a few weeks back. Every reply agreed that the game had gotten better. No one knew why....

Perhaps because in beta, while there were huge battles, perhaps they weren't on the scale they are at now, and not as many... plus with the excess of n00bs the kills are through the roof.

Shhhh, I knew that was the answer. I just said no one knew why to make it mysterious.

EndoDroid hit it on the head....To me PS isn't boring at all, but it will need something extra to keep me playing for more than 9-12 months. They have already PUBLICALLY (Duilin) annouced that they will be adding to PS, and when you get bored with it, cancel the account

how big are the battles?

don't forget you are also paying for the devs to bann all the cheaters in the game. cs has the most cheaters ever in a game and when your opponent has an unfair advantage, games are not fun. they should add were you can launch nukes from certain bases at sanctuaries. that would rock.
