I have decided to try this game out for once. I did not like it.
The game gets boring and it gets boring FAST. Youll be oooing and aaahing for about an hour then the magic wears off. And you realized what it is. MONOTONOUS.
Here is about what you do.
Make character.
Sit on ass till battle happens.
Fight for 3 minutes and get killed in aformentioned battle.
Get sent back to base.
Repeat until you have enough experience points for everything.
Go back to and fight for 4 minutes until killed.
Repeat until brain rots out and all nerve endings die.
And the environments are bland and unoriginial. All they really did was change the color the whole time. And this game relies on teamplay hideously. And we know how much people like to be a team player :rolleyes:
I am dissapointed I even tried it now.

I don't like planet side much either, it took forever to get experience too, and if u were a newbie at planet side, it was soo easy for people to kill you with all of their advanced weapons, and those mobile suit robot thingies, and the game took forever before a battle started. once I had to wait a whole hour befor a single battle started, then it was over befor i got their, then I was waiting on my ass again untill another battle started. I would much rather play Renegade.

I played it at a friends house and thought it sucked pretty bad.
My friend got me into a battle so I didn't have to worry about that aspect, but the action itself wasn't even fun. I didn't like it at all.
I mean you have games like Renegade which have similar gameplay (yet executed much better) and don't require a monthly fee.

Ive got planetside, and i have ti say its one of the best games ever. And yes.. if you do it on your own its boring, cos you dont progress. If you read the fukin manual/cd case you will see its aimed as a team game. So dont complain you dont like the game, cos you dont know how to play it and needs some more thought then renegade, which anyone can pick up.
I love the my Reaver and how i swoop down and rocket some poor bastard to death... satisfying :twisted:
In the end it doesn't matter if you are who you say you are. You will still mean nothing to me.
When i have kids, everytime i drive past a fast food restaurant, im gonna punch my kid in the face, then they'll never wanna come..

Lol the poor guy is normally me when a reave spots my infiltration suit. It is a team game thats why your encourages to form squads, even in the manual it says you should form squads before venturing out. I am in the RenEvo Epoch outfit (planetsides version of a clan) and there is a lot of teamwork when i play in outfit squads. It is a fun game in my opinion.
I still play renegade a lot though maybe not as much as before, you will still see me here a lot on the mod forum. Modding is seperate from playing the game so i don't play as much but i still help out here as much as before.

Yah, it's a boring game if you're solo but join an outfit (clan) or just a squad and it's great fun.

Nope, lots of people love teamplay, it makes FPS games a lot more fun than going rambo and getting your ass kicked, which sounds like what is happening to you.

The reason they have experience points is for money.
I mean, its obvious, the longer you play, the better weapons you get, and the more fun the game is. You just sit there for hours on end, trying to gain experience pts to get better weapons or whatever. By the time you get some good experience, your out of money. The longer you play, the more you pay. That's why I will never play subscription games.

[quote="MSNSazabi"]besides hack and slash but[quote]
First of all it's not an RPG, it's an MMOFPS, it's a FPS. Secondly Planetside is more than fighting. You can't win a fight unless you have hackers and engineers to take over bases. Also the main fighters (MAX units) are unable to drive any vehicle so you then need piolets for the vehicles or your gonna have to walk for an hour. Also you can't win a fight by just shooting, you need a squad leader to command the squad and to give orders and set waypoints.

ps requires teamwork, which is why i am not suprised to see alot of Renegade players complaining that they don't like it.
also, if you are sitting there waiting for something to happen, sorry for you, battles wouldn't take place if everyone did this. i am never without a battle, and yes, you get your ass kicked, but you have every oportunity to kick there ass as well... its not about advancing your character, or killing everyone in site. its about conquoring the continent, destroying & holding back your oponents, and protecting your resources/bases.
no automated harvy drivers, no magical repair gun with unlimited ammo, no super huge clipped weapons with tons of extra ammo, no commando style #1 players. teamwork is the key, if you have that, it is enjoyable.

Planetside is pretty cool, seen my friend play it.
In a way, it's quite a lot like Renegade, just lots more people and new graphics.
Certifications = Money (but can be unlearned, to get back points, the cert you gain can be used over and over)
Base caps = Refinery (best way to get money)
Bases = Similar to diff buildings like in Renegade, you have Dropship Centers where you can buy Galaxys from, Tech Plants to allow you to buy reavers and other non-basic vehicles at other bases, etc
There are times where the game is somewhat boring and yo ucant really go because you want exp from the hack. However, I think it is changing fairly fast. The game is only a week old, yet Solsar......the battle(s) yesterday practiclly were a seperate war...........VS spilled out like never before......just......wow.........
While it is somewhat buggy, it's pretty stable, sometimes there are lag but still plently playable (in fact, I don't think it's nessecarlly lag at all from the server most of the time, but rather the comp you're playing on not being able to update things fast enough, ie, instead of lagging you're jerking). No limits on outfit size as far as I can see (outfits are like clans).
Even better, maybe the day/a day after the release, they already started planning 2 new units. Now they have 3 in planning. And people haven't even started paying the monthly fee yet (first month is free).
