you know with Tomb Raider perfecting Bow and arrow combat, I wonder if a developer can put together a decent Hawkeye or Green Arrow game

Finally got my beta passes for the new Defiance game...

http://trionworlds.com/en/games/defiance/

It's from the same company that's making RIFT, Warface, and End of Nations: Trion Worlds.

Looked pretty rad to me and the idea of certain events in-game affecting the upcoming TV show intrigues me as well.

It does scream "Starhawk" but having not bit on WOW or RIFT or any other MMO, this one has something about it that grabs me.

Dunno how much longer they're going to hand out free beta passes but if you sign up an account on the site, they should send you one.

I also have another PS3 code if anyone's interested.

I'll take that code buddy ol' pal. ;)

Popped in Dragon Age after a year and a half on the shelf... I cant do anything in combat and my whole party gets killed in like 5 seconds.. Im probably going to have to start over.

FYI, all PS+ members can download this beta as well. I downloaded it today and I'm hoping to check it out tomorrow.

...all this talk about DA recently makes me want to go and grab a collector's edition but I'm already 5 games deep worth in backlog

Still have that extra code for non-Plus people if anybody wants it.

Defiance Beta Stuff:

 

Even with the advent of letting everyone with Plus try the Beta, the Defiance hubs are dead as fuck unless you stick to the main missions.

I only see other people if I stumble across a fire fight or I log in to drop off vendor trash for money.

Also, you can easily drop all your money on the early goings and have WAY better gear than the game's mini-bosses and bosses drop.

My "complaints" are moot though because I haven't actively joined a clan yet or used my headset to communicate (D-Pad default gestures work just the same but there's no tactics involved when I'm playing the tank and the other person that's playing is shooting at scrubs instead of focus-firing on the guy with the grenade launcher...).

I plan on checking it out tomorrow (today) and Swarles downloaded it. My cousin wants to play too.

Handle can join us too...oh, wait.:puft:

I've seen Cousin Montto doing work online on the Beta but wasn't on his server so...

As it stands, the menus are convoluted as fuck and might agitate you guys a little at first (especially the EGO points and the swapping of weapons).

Plenty of time to get around it though if you bums keep at it.
