Looks very playmobile-ish to me.
Then again its still beta, who knows.
 Quote:
The essential combat itself is completely realtime and dependent on the user's skill and their character's equipment. There are no "virtual dice" being rolled to determine winner or loser, combat is all just as real-time and "twitch" based as any First Person Shooter.
That feature alone makes this worth checking out.

got into Beta.
first impression is not so great :/
the graphics are very very ho-hum... actually, pretty crappy compared to any current games - reminds me of the OLD wing-commander.
the interface feels very clunky atm - need to learn the key binds config file - players are setting up one button evasion routines etc.
considering the graphics - the ships are okish... but i have to say that after the ability of eve to see all around me - the*****pit interface sucks big time.
the station interface needs a LOT of work - its reminds me of the very old dos days - and is not so nice.
chat interface - something like the lineage interface - utter crap.
but.. in spite of all these bad things, the FPS-like action is fairly ok - you have to lead your shots and manually aim. I expect the game to get better as time goes by and i get more used to it, and they improve the interface... I spent 5 hours last night playing - gf was about to kill me  i had no idea the time had gone.
thats probably a good sign.

I signed up for beta, got it, installed the game.
First impression: Cheesy
The game was made by 4 guys, sure looks like it...
I only played it for like 5 minutes to see if I could get it running, so did not really give it a fair shake yet, but, just looks like a really unstable situation. Game servers could be shutdown at anytime if they have any kind of financial hiccups...
The graphics are what I like to call, cartoonie...
UI looks like an old old game, almost like I'm back playing Wing Commander Privateer (the first one)

I dont like it, played for like 10 mins, found out its just a normal rpg type game, where you need to "train" up skills by just shooting hundreds of things. Gimme the good Eve skill system anyday.

Exactly, I'll never subscribe to another level treadmill MMO again!
Once you've tasted the skill system EVE has, you'll never go back!

well.
its licences, not skills.
there are no "ingame" skills.. just need to "prove" you are good enough to fly something.
other than that - its a FPS with ships rather than troopers.
insta respawn at home station etc.
still giving a shot to see if it gets better.. only maybe 30 min a day.

Seems like a half baked Eve clone to me with a differant combat system.
Now where have I heard that back-story before...

I've played VO also...
Not much there I guess
The graphics are not the best (not many ship models only 3 atm )
The flying model is nice at the beginning (I like the idea of actually having to dock your ship) but then it becames tedious.
Universe is tiny (compared to EVE)
I guess EVE is hard to beat

Yep..
after these days of trying it out, finding it very hard to want to log in anymore to vendetta....
getting the licences is a grind....
and the graphics are getting to me. (i've got a top line graphics card for _this_?!?!! sheesh)

PvP.
Im actually enjoying vendetta a lot more than eve atm, yeah the graphics simply dont compare but the dogfights are actually fun. The ex-EnB (why isnt this game enb) syndrome is present, and im hoping carebear-ism wont hit it.
And no mining! The 'grind' can be done in 2 hours atm if you're any good at space sims, the flight model is ok, nothing special, and there is no player made items, player based demand etc. but it is a nice, simple masssively multiplayer space sim.
Old fashioned fun as opposed to eve's real life boredom IMHO

yea i signed up,played for 2 days, then uninstalled it, didnt like the graphics(Cartoonish) really bad lag cause its mouse controlled ships, mouse skipped a lot, i mean alot, half the time couldnt even get a shot off, needs alot of fine tuning, as well as a better graphics design, but i think its still way deep in Beta tho, so maybe it'll improve in a couple months
-----------------------------------------------
In the End , there can be only 1
Today we celebrate, for tomorrow we die
learn from yesterday, that u may be stronger tomorrow
May the force be with us all |
