I keep seeing it on sale. I've always wanted a good third person shooter MMO, but I know this one got mixed reviews. What do you guys think?.

I have not played it myself, but I know it has a nice population. Probably would want to wait for a better answer than mine, but I believe there are a couple of fans on the forums.

That game never got my attention...Planetside was what I did have fun with, though even that lost my interest quickly. Something about people being able to kill me in sub 2 seconds and then me having to walk back over and over for ten minutes (or longer) each trip was not very fun.

Hmm, it looks much better than reviewers gave it credit for. It definitely looks like a much better open world shooter than Far Cry 3. I was thoroughly disappointed with Far Cry 3 after seeing the high scores that it got. In contrast, I think that I might be pleasently surprised by Defiance...

There's only one way to find out... Personally I'll try anything if it has a better score than 5 and is cheap enough. Also reviews are just opinions and I haven't been steered wrong by the Giant Bomb guys yet.

I've been playing it. It's very shallow but has some neat things here and there. The world is decently sized and rather detailed, which is nice.

I got it at launch and have enjoyed playing it. It has a good sized world, lots of sidequests and challenges to try, but my favourite part is probably the huge battles at the end of major arkfalls - seeing 50+ people all descend on one area to work together taking out a huge hellbug.

Too repetitive sometimes but the main story is entertaining and the shooting is fun (specially the group missions).

Then you have the TV Show which is totally watchable and then EPISODE Missions during the week which tie into the Show.

As a game, it's fine and can be enjoyed in bursts. You get the best out of it if you play alongside the show.

Good time to get into it now cause the first season of the show is over, so you can catch up.

^^ I wouldn't use the word "awesome" to describe it. Fun and Entertaining maybe...

Its kidna like borderlands meets an mmo.   So far its a lot of fun, but i do reccomend trying to find a group to play with as some of the missions are quite tough soloÂ
