 Age of Conan October 13, 2008

I got this game ages ago near to release and overall I was very impressed especially with the combat. MMOs normally have a once-click attack system and the number keys are abilities. However in AoC you have to do all the swining yourself and you can choose which side to attack. Plus the combos are amazing when you pull them off and get a gore filled finishing move.
The graphics are amazing for those with high end PCs, yes there were some pop ins and glitches but the gameplay was so much fun that I just ignored them and enjoyed myself. The quests aren't really anything new, the only different aspect is that the map marks out where you have to go. It takes away some of the exploring but it's a nice feature.
For the first 20 levels you will only have access to Tortage, a small city filled with corruption. This gives new players a good starting point as you can be killed by anyone. As to my knowledge you cannot turn off player-vs-player. The bad side to this is that people don't come up to you asking to form a group so much as wanting to kill you but it makes for a refreshing experience. The first 20 levels go by really fast, before you reach Tortage you could be level 5.
Overall the game is worth a look but if you want a more polished feel then check out World Of Warcraft (a good MMO starting point) or even the new Warhammer Online which is really easy to get into and is amazing for player-vs-player. Age of Conan is a good game and I would say it's worth the buy and by now there have been patches so the experience may be much better than the one I had a few months back. My advice would be to buy it near christmas when new players will be online.

ok so laid out 60 on this game with a game card,only to find that it can't be loaded on any of our 2 pc's.one being windows vista the other windows xp.also there is no phone support you can only contact them by e-mail,but they do reply after a few hours to help you .which took about 4 days to find out that we can't play these games on our pc's.problem being as you are loading the game a problem starts then you have to contact them wait a few hours for a reply .then try what they tell you what to do only to find after solving one problem a another problem starts so you contact them again and again.tbh we never have this problem on wow at all.
 I love it! September 13, 2008

I have no frame of reference as far as MMO's go, but I know good graphics (I use a 4850 and a 4500 @ 3.2GHz) and smooth gameplay and interesting content when I see it.

this game is only good because of the combo's. everyone knows this, yet people try to say because its the graphics, as they have a poor computer, or its because the game play is innovative, ie they suck at MMo's. The reason this sells is because it is adult (ie boobies) as they tried to do something different from the everquest 2 formula (which WoW followed). If you want a good MMo, ie something that will last beyond the 30 days free ( I'm 38 on AoC on my 3rd day, max lvl 80 by the way) then try everquest two (not vangaurd...), If you want something popular but easy try WoW ( i got to 67 within 5 weekslus several alts) if you want something different then try Tabula rasa. It is different but has a bad rep. tried it since beta, and it is good, if short lived.
If you don't follow into these categories wait for Warhammer: age of reckoning (sorry bad at spelling). It is good and should atleast be tried. In depth game with many new characteristics. Try to avoid this game if your a serial gamer, you will be disappointed. The combos are simple 1-2-3 combo's (the first strret fighter is harder) combined with the abiltiy to see (baddies have shields on left (1), right (3) or center (2)). Easy and am bored of it after 5 days....
Cheers all
Tyler
