I feel like it should appeal to me more, but it just looks like Jank City to me. QFT

NDA dropped today.
I played about 3 hours of this and it was really all I could muster. Jank City is a very appropriate description. It just felt very sloppy and unfocused.
To be fair, this was never on my radar as something I would be interested in, so my enthusiasm wasn't high going in. Perhaps someone who is more interested in this story genre will find something to like about it, but I couldn't.

Sort of wish I did play it so I could do a blog post about it. I have the perfect title for it: NEW JANK CITYalso, didn't notice I got an image of the French version. But lulz at "du crack"

I grabbed a key from there. Maybe I'll have time to play it.
Or maybe I will play Witcher 2 and Tribes instead........

It appears to be another standard mmo with a cool (to me) theme.

Was really excited about it at first...loved the idea...theme...content... Got into beta recently...logged in...so very meh. I feel bad for a certain someone Maeve and I know who is excited about it (who popped her MMO cherry on WoW so she hasn't felt the repeated major disappointment of getting hyped up for a new MMO fail like we have over time...or at least I have). It does have some cool things going for it but I was so incredibly bored by the combat and just didn't feel any connection to my character as the animations, etc. were horrid and repetitive. Really...stop trying to make these MMOs into single player RPGs on rails and spend some time on some of the things that connect the player to their toons. Basic 101 MMO shit here FunCom. Alright, I'm done. I really wanted this to be good...I may spend more time playing it but I'm having trouble mustering up the initiative to log in since I just got Alan Wake on Steam on the cheap. One more quick expletive to vent my frustration because I was looking forward to this title at one time. SHIT!!! Thank you.

Ya I played for 5 hours today and walked away bored with combat, animations stiff, quests unclear and too witty, skills boring, areas very bland, and a store icon even tho it is a P2P game. Im very skeptical about this game after seeing a Store. That is too greedy for me. Either charge a monthly or have a cash shop, not both.

Oh and voice acting is one sided. The people talk to you but your guy is mute and stands stiff as a board. No reaction whatsoever to what they say. I'm going to play it again tomorrow but with the stagnant AI like SWTOR and WAR and the quests you need to Google really stuff like composers from the 1700's, it's more of a pain in my ass than a relaxing hobby

So it mixes in trivia/puzzles and calls it a day? I'll just wait for it to go F2P. I can google stuff without paying monthly.
