It seems he tried his best doing dumb moves to make those encounters look chenllenging, especially in the last boss fight.

The ais in this game need alot of wroks imo.
Haha ya I was thinking that also.
I was looking forward to this game with careful excitement, but all the videos I see about it makes me second guess.
Nothing looks particularly good or smooth, I hope I'm wrong since this game has potential to be something fresh. Bad graphics are propably due to console videos, so that's not the worst problem, but the action seems a bit bland and the animations clunky, the UI elements and things like mob health etc looks dated.
A lot of polish needed imo, which is a bit worrying since the game is coming very soon, and we all know there's no day one miracle patches outside myths and bedtime stories. I'm going to give Trion my money simply to pat them on the back for a good effort to bring us something else, while hoping to get positively surprised. It's not like there's anything else to put my money in the near future
You know...this video sort of made me lose interest in the game.
I got into beta, learning that i was accepted the last day of the last round...so i got the patcher but havent actually downloaded.
However...something about the game, cant put my fingers on it...turns me off.
Its sci-fi...which im desperate for
Action combat...which im liking more lately than tab target
pve focus...which is fine since no risk pvp in mmorpgs has lost its appeal to me in just about every incarnation
So i should be pumped and have the client patched and ready to go.
But im not. Why?
its confusing me to say the least.
some peoples forget something !
Defiance is not mmorpg it is mmoTPS(SHOOTER) and game looking awesome for an mmo shooter , if anyone looking to play mmorpg here just pass .
The issue here isnt the combat style, I'm pretty sure everyone who is talking about this game understands that this game has third person aim-and-shoot mechanics.
I guess we have to wait to find out.
They already fixed that
I watched it all and I think the concerns here make sense.
The shooter combat seems decent but I doubt it will appeal to Gears of War type players with the lack of sticky cover, dodging and floaty jumping. Still, it looks like a significant step up from Tabula Rasa.
The rest of the game looks exactly like every other theme park based MMO. Perhaps larger encounters and higher level characters with more skills might make the game more challenging and interesting.
The 5 man instance looked very easy and didn't require any team-coordination. The 5 people seemed to be able to run around doing whatever they wanted with little consequence since rezzing is very easy. Again maybe this changes in higher end content where hopefully Rambos will just get the team killed.
It actually seems exactly like Guild Wars 2 in a lot of ways, but with twitch combat. I will try it out with the beta keys that are going out, but I am a little suspect about the longevity here.
This is an accurate assessment and I agree that in many ways it is a step up from Tabula Rasa. The question is, after weeks of play will the story keep you invested if the core game isn't deep enough? If anyone is interested, I'd definately recommend giving it a thorough beta test before pre-ordering.
