A few words on Defiance...

Bought the season on a whim, played a few hours of the free weekend on Steam. Here's a few words of what I think so far.

 

The Species:

Castithan- Though not very "Alien", the appearance and culture are intriguing to say the least.

Indogene- Terrible make-up and nothing particularly interesting about their behavior. Do not like.

Irathient- Good make-up, dig the red hair.

Human- I don't even want to know what sick mind thought up these abominations.

 

The Characters:

Nolan- A somewhat generic gunslinging rogue. I can see him being quite likeable once the writers give him a personality.

Irisa- Her writing and some of the scenarios she's put in are awkward, but the character has potential.

Kenya- Generic prostitute. Not very likeable.

Amanda- I don't like her lines, how she delivers them or really the character at all.

Datak- Probably the most interesting and sympathetic character of the bunch.

Stahma- She gives a Lady McBeth vibe. Good stuff there.

 

The Game:

There were 4 hours left of the free weekend and I tired of it in one. It may get better later on, though I can't imagine it being worth the tedium. GW2 was fantastic from the first. No excuses.

 

Conclusion:

The writing's kinda bad and the plots uninteresting, but it still manages to amuse from time to time. Up until episode 6 I wanted my money back though I'm warming up to it now. The game can go eat a pony as far as I'm concerned.
