I rarely review games,let alone MMORPGS,but I found Conan a good game to start reviewing.
Now,I just got the game yesterday for my birthday,which is next week might I add,so i've not explored every content.
GRAPHICS:
Graphics are usualy a boogey.Either they are too high and demanding or too crappy.Conan offers great graphics and some people say it's got performance issues.Well,that's a lie.Even my old rig of a P4 at 3.2GHZ,a X1600PRO and 2GBs 400MHZ RAM can render pretty amazing graphics and run at steady 25-20FPS(Don't worry,you don't notice the FPS beeing somewhat low.The human eye only detects drastic changes).At the graphics department,hands down for a 9/10.I would give it a full score but I haven't tried the game with AA on yet.
GAMEPLAY:
The gameplay is out of the box,combat and whatnot.I was surprised with the good surprise the combat was when I first played.The climbing and hiding is also a good surprise and the game feels a bit like Assassin's Creed only with less climb happy freedom.The extended class selection is also jawdropping and the character customization is pretty awesome.The mature gameplay also makes Darc very :3.I'll have to give the gameplay 9/10,it's irreverant and original but there's some issues like selecting combos,there need to be more hotkeys and possibly other attack keys,other than 1,2 and 3,anyway,and to give the player more freedom instead of clicking everything,for example to climb a latter.
PvP:
To be tested,i'm not the most PvPish fellow.
OVERAL:
The game was a good suprise and Funcom did a great job.There needs to be a few minor adjustments,I always have an hard time selecting a combo and attacking at the same time.Also,the grinding gets somewhat bad at level 10 but the grind should be quickly erased with a good group matching system.
With this,I bid farewell.My character name is Darc and i'm on the RP-PVE server (Less WoW noobs running around).If someone wants to be my game buddy,give me a ring!This game is so much better if you play with a friend to help you on quests and etc.
