Its quite a good game in genearal.
Yes there are bugs like any game, but there seem to be the same people almost spamming that the game is crap on the official boards. The severity of the existing bugs is over-rated due to how some people are acting.
Rather than simply adressing Funcom with the issue, more often than not the boards are attacked with childish reactions to a slight physics fault (been sent futher from a hit than you should), or missing content (currently has a poor end game, but then WoW has you running raids over and over....and thats good end game?
). But whith 2 patches a week it should get fixed fairly promptly (well we can hope).
The gist of that is, its
not as bad as some people are making out.
I doupt many people will be up for a trial, the full game is around 25GB, and needs 30GB it install. A trial client at best I think would be between 10GB+
Also, the insert in my box says we get a 7 day buddy key, but some people are saying it will be 10? eh?
