from what i read in the official forums, the forum members (not staffs/admins) say that you don't need origin to play the game. maybe just need it to activate it.

Thats bullshit la.

They always say that but at the end the game needs Origin.

The art feels very much like WoW, not sure i'll like that as WoW art is ugly. The story in the demo is full of cliche to the point it hurts.

The combat on the other hand, is pretty nice but not sure i want to get this at all.

Yea, ATi cards are having problems with the game again. doh.gif

I say better try the demo first.

The game does look pretty interesting in videos but when you play the game, its very underwhelming. I really dont like the art style as it feels like WoW cartoony graphics with more violence and blood. And ATi GPU doesnt work with Post Processing and the game looks even more like WoW without it.

The controls are weird as there is no jump button and you only can jump at certain places and the camera feels badly mapped for keyboard and mouse, as it does not lock to your character's back. I heard the camera problem is fixed in the full game.

The draw distance in this game is just a joke, compared to Skyrim or Battlefield 3. Everything pops in when you walk in the environment.

Voice acting is pretty terrible too, and i skipped most of the extra conversation options because the voices and lines are boring. This never happen in Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Witcher or even Skyrim. I think the writing in the demo failed to explain the lore in the game properly.

The inventory interface, thats even worse than Skyrim, as there are way too many sub-menu. Kinda similar to Fable's inventory system.

The combat is better than Skyrim, but, the weapons generally feels lack of weight.

Not sure i want this, but it could be the beginning of the game to be extremely boring. The screenshots does show more interesting environment.

Yea, watching now.

The combat seems to be really good. Its pretty much a very refined version of Fable.

Did you see the part where he tried to backstab a resting bear, in the end it did nothing and he had to run away from the bear? That was hilarious rofl  rclxms.gif

They'll probably make more gears of war which is even worse.

The hope of seeing rise of nations 2 is gone.
