 Over hyped and over rated. May 19, 2008
5 out of 28 found this review helpful
I have been playing the early access for about 3 days now and I have already decided to cancel my subscription and return my pre-order on Age of Conana as soon as it is delivered. Why... you may ask? Here are a few specific things which I really dislike:
- horrible combat system, (I know it is supposed to be so ground breaking but I personally hate it).
- boring and long winded speeches form quest givers, (not to mention the "choose your own answer" aproach which I find really iritating and time consuming).
- completely average graphics, (nothing better than maybe Two Worlds).
- boring and uninspired character classes.
- too much ganking, (yes I know there is a PVE option, but it is already happening in the early access game where gankers will just camp out at resurection sites and whack you as soon as you respawn).
Well, there is probably more I could say but these are the basics. I'm sure some people will love the game, this is just one person's opinion. I'm gonna hold out for Warhammer Online and return this one while I can still get my money back.
 Worth all of the Hype! May 19, 2008

I started playing this game the second servers opened up for Early Access, and I must say this game is simply amazing! I played WoW for 5 years, and countless MMO titles prior to Age of Conan, and this game leaves them all behind!
While it does require an up-to-date system to run, it was worth every cent I spent upgrading my computer, and I already know that this game will keep me more than happy for years to come.
Playing on day one of early access, May 17th, this game showed no signs of any problems at all. You'd think this title had been up and running successfully for years. No server lag, no buggy feel, no crashes, for me at least, a few have mentioned problems, but their systems met only the bare minimums to play this game.
I have an SLI setup with two 8800gts 512s, and a quad core system with dual AMD Windsor processors, and 4gigs of ram, and am running Vista Ultimate 64bit.
I play the game in 1920x1080 on my 40" Sony Bravia HDTV, so a system not as good as mine can play this game perfectly with high frames per second on a smaller monitor, and/or in a lower resolution than mine.
It is without a doubt the best looking game I have ever seen in my life, and the combat is the best thing to happen to this genre since the conception of MMOs! Buy this game now! You will not regret it!!!
 Amazing graphics, a MMO worth trying! May 18, 2008

On a whole this MMO is well put together, it has the look of LOTR but with much more content and depth. Graphics are amazing, combat more complex and involved than point and click. The game still needs a little more polish on the interactive side for PVR, but PVP is really good. If your new to MMO's or just looking for something less-grind-like than WOW this is the game for you.

So far all I've seen is false advertising. The benefits of pre-ordering the game were advertised as 3 days of play before the official release and an in game mount. It turns out, that contrary to the early game play advertised for pre-orders, you also had to register and buy the extra time. That wouldn't have been a problem if they had mentioned it. Instead I found out when I set up my log in and found out there were no early play spaces left. From what outside sources have written, it looks like you also don't get the mount they promised if you pre-order from certain sites like Amazon - from Amazon it looks like you get a bow instead. I don't think they meant to falsely mislead folks, but if they can't communicate well enough to get people into the game, what is game play going to be like? Heaven forbid if you need to talk to someone. You can't even get to their site now because they redirect you to their community page because of heavy volume. Even if you'd bounced through their unmentioned hoops early enough and were set up to play the early play, you couldn't reach the site to play at the moment.

Well, I can't say much for the game yet, as I have not been in beta. When I preordered this it was stated that early access would be given with the key. Well, When I used the code, it only gave me the amazon bow, no ea. I'm very dissapointed, as I'llhave to wait a while to get it over here in Turkey. Guess I'll just be lagging behind my guildmates.
