My brother tried to make me play the beta. We played for an hour and I was exposed to dull tedium and the same repetitive action (go to place x, kill some guy lots of times (why not once?), mission over).
The loading screens were like 3 minutes.
It was a very nice GUI, HUD, game engine and graphically very pretty and they could’ve done so much more with it. I was going to pick it up anyway despite the beta being bad because.. well.. it’s a beta. However, I saw you’re expected to pay for the game and THEN subscription. No way.
Best review ever.
In breach of their Review block – but lets be fair, after playing teh beta you are spot on.
I just read about that. What on earth are they thinking?
This review is too generous.
You’re off Dave Jones’s Christmas card list forever, sunshine.
This isn’t a review, anyway. It’s got no number.
Yeah, can you include a review score please – I can’t be bothered to read all the words, I always just skip to the score.
sorry, the score is 5/10, +/-5

Wow. Can I suggest either #apbgate or #apbfail as suitable Twitter tags.
P.
Short and to the point. I agree and great review.
You didn’t mention the graphics.

Played the beta. I loved it personally but whatever.
Best review ever. LP, I <3 you.
You clearly didn’t play it for long enough, biased review
I enjoyed the game to be quite honest. just imo.
Haters going to hate.
my guess is the people who like it, liked Age of Conan when it was released, too.
