Secret World

Soo this looks like its the next some what "decent" mmo coming out, anyone from POTBS thinking about playing??

If so why? I am debating about buying pre-order instead of waiting for the reviews strictly for the XP bonus pre-order supposedly will receive

I'm interested in that too, although I'll wait until it is out and you can get some final reviews.

Actually, most of the newer game releases are starting to make POTBS look like a flawlessly designed game.

I waited on SWTOR, and am glad I did, and I will wait on The Secret World also.

I played beta for a bit, and it's not a bad game. The graphics are decent for being an MMO. I didn't quite like the controls, but I guess you get used to it.

I'm considering buying it pre-launch, something I promised myself I would never do with an MMO again.

ETA: I have pre-ordered it.

I played beta this weekend too but it didn't have too much replay value for me. Zombies aren't really my thing. Doesn't seem like much strategy and lots of button mashing.

No one's expecting players to spend $50 up-front for a game any more, everything's f2p, and the MMO market's flooded. Is it any wonder that spaghetti thrown at a wall looks like spaghetti thrown at a wall?

Really?
I did not know of "pre-ordering" something until a few years ago. Now we have madmen preordering for life time. Meh, fair enough it's only 18 months or something but it's money spent on hopes and dreams. I mean what's even the benefit of it, you get some bonus stuff when it's finished. If it is great they can make a trial and just have to sit back and wait for me to give them my money, but instead try to get my money for an unfishined product? Looks like scam bait to me ... especially considering many of the hyped titles really were not exceptional in gameplay, athmosphere, or even runability...

That said, sucks, I missed the beta weekend.
