Have you seen this game, they will be having their beta soon. Details are at http://www.thesecretworld.com/gameplay.
I've posted the game's trailer on my blogspot you can watch it here:
So what's your say about this game? Its from EA and funcom, they will let players decide what to do since there's no level and or class restriction. Damn this must be good!!!
New movie trailers & video game trailers are my new passion!

I've signed up for the beta. It looks interesting, but I won't make up my mind about it until I actually get a chance to play it.
Yeah its pretty good lookin, I think it'll be available in xbox360 too...

Game itself = ok
Business model (box+sub+cash shop) = not ok
either sub or cash shop for me not both
/pass
If you look at what games Funcom has made before.. AOC.. anarchy online. You know they never release a bug free product. And with EA mixed into it dont expect to get blown away.. accept by the ways they will try to get you to spend your IRL money...
I will Pass on this and so will everyone that I know in IRL and In MMOS.. We all know what the hype machine at Failcom is and we wont get fooled twice..
There is great potential for it. I look forward to learning more.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
Yeah I think just cash shop would be a good fit, anyway we'll just have to wait for teh game and play it for the actual review.

Looks like an interesting concept for a game. Might check it out.
Wait.... EA and Funcom are behind it?
Oh Dear...
As someone said before, great potential. Setting is unique, a step back from the fantasy-superhero-sci-fi that seems to be the only settings in MMO these days, lots of potential for content and individiality.
It all depends on funcom, both their previous MMOs have been great in their own way, but with a disastrous launch that drove away most of their playerbase at first. If they manage to get a relatively bug free and content complete game, it'll be a success, otherwise, it won't.
What can men do against such reckless hate?
I'm cautiously optimistic. There are many things I really like (no class/levels, 3-factions, finally an Illuminatus! mmorpg (Fnord!)) but there are many things that might go very wrong as well (Funcom/EA reputation, business model, instancing?)
I'm definitely interested, but I'm not preordering by any means. I'll wait at least a month after the release to see what's the vibe on the old grapevine. I'd suggest the same for all future mmo purchases. Support quality, not bloated PR and wait before you buy.
It's Funcom. I'll just leave it negatively at that.
"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold." (First Lieutenant Clifton B. Cates, US Marine Corps, Soissons, 19 July 1918)
i am looking forward to TSW .what i dont understand is some of the annimosity against funcom.yeah they screwed up with AOC,everyone knows that..but that is one game against a few ,the rest that i know or heard of were good.everyone is entitled to their opinion but for me even after AOC i,m gonna check this game out..nothing i've bought in the last 3yrs has been good and that includes the most recent addition swtor.so has they say 'Bring it on'
You know I read the same types of post when AOC was coming out that you just made . But then the old and wise players were pointing out what A horrible Fail Anarchy online was ( for your information that was the game Funcom made before Age of Conan)
It whent a little like this " What I dont understand is some of the annimosity against funcomm yeah they screwed up the launch of Anarchy online, everyone knows that, but that is one game against .. this time they will make it right..." Old saying fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.. I think it holds true here. If you still want to give them your money its your money not mine... but if you are so easaly parted with it why dont give me a donation on my pay pall account I could sure use some extra cash...
Thats the problem, a lot of people thought once a publisher sucks in just one game doesnt mean they'll be bad on the other games. But i think its a normal critical tihinking when you leave that kind of impression it's hard to get out.

You are kidding right? most of AOCs player base couldent even play the game right during the hollidays this year.. 2012.... They have so many bugs still in that game its F.U.C.King sad... cheak out there forums if you dont belive me, people say its still broken, and not working...
I honestly expect it to just be another shitty wow-like themepark myself, since thats all devs will bother trying to make since its successful. People getting your hopes up for TSW and GW2 will most likely be sorely dissapointed just like with all the other mmo's since wow's release. You may call me a troll, but deep down you know I am most likely correct.
Take some advice: Don't believe any of the hype, assume the game will be shit until you play it, most likely there will be a open beta, don't listen to hype and the fanboys who have never played the game yet either. This way if the game does turn out to be shit well, you won't be as annoyed/mad about it, and if it turns out to be good, well you'll be pleasently surprized. its a kinda negative way of looking at things but its nice when your preconception of the game was wrong. Least if you thought it was gonna be shit in the first place. If its the opposite like so many people did with swtor you just get bitter and annoyed when the game totally fails to live up/be anything decent.
I'm waiting for pso2, since I already know its not going to be another boring themepark world of warcraft clone. GW2 I'll probally buy just because of the fact its a buy to play title, and I can always take a break and go back to it. P2P titles I don't really bother with anymore, most of them suck, and its annoying when you wanna take a break and then go back to it, it costs you 15 bucks to re-open the acct, so I mostly avoid them. If its like pso-bb and psu the sub fee for PSO2 on the pc will probally be 9.99 US (was 14.99 on the x360 due to MS wanting a cut, sega got 10 ms got 5 iirc).
AoC was good till I got out of tortage then I just was all like "WTF happened to this awesome immersive game i was playing? it just turned into a shitty wow clone!"
Anarchy Online to this day is the only decent sci-fi mmorpg thats still around, I don't consider eve a game, its more of a excel spreadsheet program since there is very little actual gameplay, your mostly just sitting and watching the screen doing nothing. I'd love for AO to go totally f2p, no sub fee at all and just sell the expansions for maybe 5-10 bucks each, kinda like gw2 will be doing. AO also has ingame advertising thats non-intrusive, bascally they are on animated billboards during the instanced missions you get from mission terminals, or in towns on billboards on the side of buildings and such. They always are on a wall or something and never get in the way of the gameplay at all. I think you can even shut them off if you want too iirc. I leave mine on even when I sub since it helps funcom out. really all AO needs is a graphical overhaul and it'd be fine, its a good game as is, just the graphics are too dated for gamers these days to like. AO has a shitton of content too. I'd reccomend you try it out you can play the base game for free, though your going to miss out on alot of the nice shadowlands nano's (spells) and the alien invasion xpac with alien levels and research was neat.
Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:
A. Proven right (if something bad happens)
or
B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)
Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!
Its just not ONE GAME.. this is the THird time around. Some peopel say Third times the Charm, but when it comes to Funcom I dont belive that holds true.. They havent even been able to fix AOC jet and that came out 4 years ago.
I cant belive Im saying this but I would rather play SWTOR.. then anything made by funcom, they are the bottom of the trash.. So if you have any brains dont buy into their hype mashine
Let's just all wait for the game to get live, before we all talk about the BS with this Funcom. I just hope they wont do bad with this one.

What you on about? AOC is a great game now and anyone who says otherwise is still butthurt about how it was when it was first released. Keep your bs to urself, Funcom is a caipable company, they can make this work . They have the experience and the story in this game seems rather amazing, best of its kind in MMOs i would say. People Loved Anarchy online and maybe you should try the game before judging.
I am Looking forward to TSW, seems like a really neat Idea, I hope they pull it off.
EA+Anything usually ruins that devoloper, look at bioware as a prime example.

okey man tell that to your friends in AOC becaus they still call it broken.. just read their forums.. And you know what I whent back for free and played it last week so Take it from me... My beard still dident show on charecter screen on my charecter, and people are having problems with broken Raids.. having to reset them etc.. Just read up on their forums its not hard. And for you to say these things makes it clear you might be Employeed or bought by Failcom...

What the fu...?! That's a straight out lie, get real.
Statements like that are pathetic, gameplay has been smooth and hugely playable for AGES now. I even got it running on my laptop smoothly when I needed to a year or so ago.
.Christ, the lengths that some FC/AoC haters are going through still, annoying as hell >.<
Same haters in this thread are big fans of SWTOR and Bioware so take what they say with a grain of salt everyone.
IMO TSW looks like it could be alot of fun. Its a Themebox which is a huge positive and the setting is a breath of fresh air. I don;t think it will ever be a massive success no matter how good it is but it has EVE potential for sure and could carve out a nice spot in the genre for years.
