    While it starts out that way, somewhere in 2nd part of Egypt is lost some of it's charm and I found myself endlessly grinding quests towards an endgame of hard mode dungeons and gear grinding which was the end for me anyways.

    Honestly I lost interest in it, I am not a big horror fan but there combat animations need work on some weapons and such. The questing is amazing to bad we cannot get questing like this in another settings.

    don't get me wrong I love TSW  but there are not Aliens !
  • DakeruDakeru Member EpicPosts: 3,802
    The atmosphere is this game's strong point.
    I guess people who had any interest at some point already saw all of that.

    The combat just isn't good enough to stay after the storyline ends.

    Because...the combat

    Combat, animations, story-driven gameplay, no seamless world. Otherwise could be a great game.

    Combat wasn't quite there and there was quite a lot of tedious travel.

    It wasn't a bad game and I enjoyed my time and would recommend everyone give it a try, but it didn't hold my interest.

    Also I think Funcom's account management (outside the game) is probably the worst of any MMORPGs I've ever played. This is true of all their games. While not the reason I quit, it certainly didn't help the overall experience.

    Seems like we get one of these 'play TSW' threads every couple of days now.  If it's so great why are you here posting about it instead of in game enjoying it?


    The folks that like TSW are already playing it so give it a rest ffs.  Anyone would think that Funcom are in trouble .... oh! wait a sec.

    Why not ?
    - Horrible combat.
    - Along with the combat, ugly animations.
    - World is not a world but a random assembly of areas linked by some artificial esoteric subway.

    Oh, and doesn't this thread belong to the TSW forums anyway?
    great post....right on the money

    Lol you do know anyone can acces internet and forums from anywhere, but to play a MMO isn't quite possible yet to do everywhere due to missing your game system at your workplace or on your travels.

    anyway's

    Love X-files but didn't get a X-files fibe from the game, while the X-files did have a few lovecraftian episodes.

    I like watching the The X-Files, not playing it. I prefer more open world MMOs and TSW, while full of great stories, is a game of unlocking the next piece of the story which makes it a different game experience than that which I am looking for.

    Combat and animations are not that great.  The gear grind gets tedious.  Characters look the same other than outfits.

    It had great potential with a great story but execution failed.

    It's been said ten million times already for years on end. But I'll say it again, "The combat SUCKS."

    (Also the class building sucks in the way it works, the abilities and animations of them are also crap. But then that technically is covered by "combat sucks".)

    PS: I will say however that the story was good, the monsters looked cool, and while the "monster petting zoo" level of clumping monsters into a small space was stupid, the atmosphere was good.

    To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.

    Main thing would be the combat.  I also hate taking skills in the trees I know I will never use or taking badly nerfed skills.  They should have respecting as that would make me stay longer or play more.  At this point I have no intention on filling all the skills trees in any game I can think of at the moment, ESO, Skyforge, etc.

    I couldn't make a character I liked, and the tutorial combat and animations turned me off. And I bought the full game on pre-order :/

    The combat was horrific (sorry :) ), like Streetfighter without good combos, bash away on your keys was a through back gameplay wise.

    I liked the graphics but the animations were rather below average.

    I loved the world, even though it was a jigsaw puzzle of locations. The theme was the games strong point, done really well, no other game like it out there.

    TSW is still a MMO I would recommend to anyone, but must admit I only played it for about 6 months.

    Because of poor combat,the quest areas are small,no housing,characters always looks bad no matter how much time you put on customization and although the poor graphic quality the game has a really low FPS even on gaming PC.
    TWS could have been the best mmorpg ever with a lot good ideas but has too many flaws.

    I love X-Files and everything about lovecraftian horror, conspiracy theories, hacking etc.

    But TSW is to much of a themepark to be interesting. You go to Egypt or Transilvania, do the linear quests, and ... you're done.

    I was expecting players created puzzles, hackers trying to infiltrate the other factions network, guilds setting up huge rumors about monsters (or maybe they're not rumors!), players learning alchemy and starting a plague on London, and -indeed-, guilds acting like custom-FBI groups and asking their players to do Mulder & Scully stuff, spying on others guilds, preventing mad scientist and freaks from destroying the world etc. etc.

    Funcom really dropped the ball here. If they had followed the sandbox road and gave players a spooky world PLUS tools to exploit it, to create their own mysterious quests and conspiracy, TSW would have been amazing.

    I do like the investigation aspect and the quests and story-lines.

    You can get it on steam for half that, so you are basically paying 15$ for 60 to 100 hours of gameplay.  I think the world is fabulous.  The atmosphere is amazing.  The character design is crap.  You end up grinding points to get abilities you don't really want, so you can FINALLY get the ability you actually want.  ALL the abilities should have something that makes you go "Oh, cool".  Instead you get superspecialized abilities that are only useful in a niche build.   I would have loved to play TSW with the Champions Online character development.

    I think the world was (mostly) well done and at least doing once.  Coding some of that stuff (killing yourself to solve some mysteries, survival puzzles where you evaded your pursuers instead of simply killing them) would have been difficult.  That said, I love me some character-created content.
