Purge..going demo

Just to prove I'm not all about Planetside, I bring you Purge...the FPS/RPG to hold you over till Planetside.

www.purgeonline.net

They will be having a demo available tomorrow.

In short, its a first person shooter with the twitch skills, but you have stats to deploy to your character. As you help your team, or frag the other team, you'll be awarded more points to level up with.

You'll have weapons, skills/tools to use.

Check out the site and think about taking it for a test drive. I was a beta tester but didn't have all that great an experiance testing it (not enough players, lag, so on...)but I really like the concept. And as of tomorrow, its free!

I'll be starting a semi-serious (ie. not serious at all) group, so if interested, let me know. Have fun.

10 out of 10 people I know, who participated in the open beta, disliked what they saw.

I''m just Curious Yomm, have you played Planetside? Now obviously you can''t state if you are in the beta or not, nor can I, but there is always the theoretical Friend of a friends account. Anyway I just wonder if you are a baseless fanboy or one that has some grounding.. In the case of that theoretical friend of a friends account that I played I can say that perhaps it will have it''s niche but there is not that much to get excited about IMO compared todays smaller window team based games like BF1942 and what not, and certainly there is a lot less visceral combat satisfaction then most, or personal strategy (leaning, laying down etc). Naturally all this might change, but history would suggest not by all that much.

You''re right, I can''t say. 8)

You make some good points, but as for being a niche game...I suppose that remains to be seen. I would say a game of this nature, however, takes alot of strategy, in fact, if someone is just going to be a solo cowboy, I think they''ve missed the best parts of it.

I mean will the masses be able to handle a FPS that ''doesn''t end''? Who knows. WWOL II is still around, and they started as a mess. By all accounts, PS doesn''t seem to have nearly as many issues (from what I may have heard), but its still a few months away from release.I think for massive on-liners, though, its a refreshing change.

Dude I played the demo, it f*cking sucks. Plain and simple.

Yeah, it never improved from the earlier beta versions. They added some diffrent classes, but thats about it. Its really a shame though, it has a good concept but it would have made for a better mod, then a retail game.

But, thats what demos are for.....

Yeah... why I have super hard time shelling out for a game when no demo is released, I always just assume they are trying to screw me. Paranoia is it''s own reward.
