Hard to believe this damn thing ships in a couple of weeks.
Attempted to play it last couple of nights with some old AC friends. I lost count of the number of times my machine locked up on me. The lag is worse than Anarchy Online ever was (10s hangs).
Graphics remind me of Doom 2. Play reminds me of dungeon seige.
It was semi-fun to be a total newb again in a new game but I just can't handle the machine crashes and overall amateurish quality of this game.
SB is one hurting beta
I was going to wait to say something but,
ditto
If you can get past spikes of lag every 1 to 2 minutes than play on. I turned all the settings to low, but that has nothing to do with the lag spikes. It also doesn't matter if there are 200 or 800 people on the server it still lags like a bitch.
Then there are the machine crashes. I lock up every 1 in 10 attempts to play the fucker for more that 10mins.
IMHO - They are releasing for a quick income [to hopefully pay for some programmers to fix the fucking code]. They know people will buy it no matter what. Wish I had a product with that much hype.

I personally cannot believe this game has gone gold. The graphics are lame, game play is lame and overall eye appeal is very very lacking.
The storyline is good, but unless they plan on getting an entire new staff of prgrammers to match that of their creative staff this game will go bust in a matter of minutes.
Release date of March 25th is far to soon for this game that needs IMHO a total overhaul.

I think the problem is this thing has been in development for 5 years and it shows. I have no idea how/why they keep funding it but IMHO it's dead in the water.
Concepts were great... PvP focus, PC town ownership, guild based conflict.
Implementation sucks rocks!
I hear AC2 is dieing a slow death as well.

The game looks like an uncircumsized penis after 2 straight nights of anal sex.. just a mess.
I am really disapointed in the future of online games, and am thinking of putting my next computer upgrade money into my drug rehabilitation fund instead.

Even if SB improved stability and graphics 100% I'd still have a huge problem with having to retrieve items from corpse on death. I remember just how much this sucked in AC. Paying con in DAOC is much simpler.
With all graphic settings turned down (shadows off, 16 bit, small terrain objects etc etc.) I was getting a fluctating 6-26 FPS. This is on a 1.5ghz amd 512mb ram and a ge 4 ti 4600. The graphic engine must have been coded by some high school students since I don't see where all those CPU cycles are being chewed up.
