Just a terrible game. Terrible interface, terrible stability, terrible gameplay, terrible game engine... etc etc ...

God this is hell. This is is the worst and unplayable games I have played in years. The interface is almost impossible to use, actually its almost non existent. Completely handicapped by the laziness by the god awful developers to adapt the pc version to use the advantages of a mouse and a keyboard.

Ok, to chat to someone, you can't click on them, you can't do that wtf wtf wtf. You have to manually type in /t name type message. You have to do this every time you talk to anyone #%%@@. You cant even select targets with the mouse, u have to use the very inaccurate keybindings to do so.

The thing about this game that bugs me so much is its almost good... graphically it looks fine and flying around is fast and cool. Even the framerate is good... but even with this, the game loads slower than it should... a game shouldnt take more than 1 minute to get into it and start playing. By the time you go through the patch update check, than the character select, than the 30-120 second load time, your almost at 4 minutes or more to actually start playing the game.... and this is assuming it doesnt freeze during the load time, which it did many times for me.

Also, the settings you can change in this game don't all save properly. I could never get the High res character settings to save, nor could I get the game to remember I wanted to play in Window mode... (many other settings didnt save either, some keybindings were bugged like social menu never loaded with its shortcut)

All the powers you can get in this game are all over the damn place. You never know how long a cast time is on a power, or really wtf it will do... so u end up with a crap pile of useless powers which you have to reset... which fortunately isnt too hard since it costs 500 to do it.

The only actual positive thing I liked besides the flying and smooth graphics, was the flexibility to change colors on your character or the armor at any time in the game, at any place.... you dont have to go though a big deal to do it, its very nice to see this kind of flexibility, but even with this... the complete lack of being able to customize your characters facial appearance makes everyone generally look identical. There arent many different costume types, and even the most creative people will see similar or exact copies of themselves.

When I played this game I feel kinda bad for some of the good work put into the game, graphics are well done on the environments. Animations are a little jerky though. And the game engine loads too slowly to get into the game... and has some weird glitches... and slight lag as u move or use skills.

Even if this games interface was on par with mmos like wow or aion, it would probably still be a failure. The sure sign of this failure is Sonys very aggressive "sales" and junk ads that show up when u load the game... they have no intention of making the game better, just trying to cash in before the world knows its a total pile of #@!#. Console limitations ruined this game, it proves yet again this. After only 5 days playing, this is it, can't take the frustration and terrible game anymore, good riddance, sony can suck it.
