Defiance

So I just spent the better part of my afternoon uploading a 3 minute video to YouTube of some gameplay I did in Defiance (PC). x3 I was trying out a program called Bandicam (which is oh so obnoxiously labeled at the top) and I thought it would be neat to upload it and share it with all you wonderful folks.

Without further ado:

Looks fun! Reminds me a bit of Borderlands, only not cartoonish. :)

Would you say Defiance is worth £10? It's on sale at the moment and I'm sort of on the fence about getting it (I've already spent quite a bit on games these last few days!).

I personally found it to be completely worth it and I had bought it when it was full price. :D

Like Rift, it offers public events but they refer to them as Ark Falls. There are random events you can drive by and help complete or just ignore them, which I have tendency to hop out of the car and shoot until either they're all dead or they kill me. lol

I also really like the fact that it really isn't gear oriented like WoW, it's mostly cosmetic. The only thing you really change out would be gun until you find the one that fits you best and then you upgrade that by mods. The only levels you really acquire are those to improve your guns/cars (you gain levels by using them often and certain levels give you perks like +4% speed for vehicles or reload speed for weapons) and your ego rating to help give you perks for your character.

Greatest thing about ego ratings is that they don't make someone a "god" just because they're higher. So if someone has played for months and their ego rating is 3,500 (I think the max is close to 5,000), if they don't know what they're doing in a PvP fight against a 300, the 300 could demolish the 3,500.
