Rift is going free to play June 12.

I find this interesting, especially considering they’re not limiting availability of anything.  ALL content will be available to free players.

Their currency system also sounds a lot like the GW2 model in that players can buy the ‘real money’ currency REX and then sell it to players in-game for gold.

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct

Let’s do the TL;DR first.  This game’s terrible but if you’re really into TWD, you’ll probably enjoy it.

Now i’m going to be wordy because that’s just how I roll.  I was thoroughly excited to play this game because I’m not only a WD fan but a zombie nerd to boot.  I figured they really couldn’t go wrong with this, and thought we’d see something on a bigger scale than the critically acclaimed Episodes released by Tell-Tale Games.  I mean, you get to play as fucking Daryl.  That HAS to be awesome, right?  Surely you can’t fuck this up Activision.

Well, they did.  I honestly don’t even know where to start.  Let’s start with some basics.  Graphically this game isn’t nearly on par with anything released in the last 5 years.  It’s not terrible, but the textures are just really shit quality and never really look the part.  During one of the ‘missions’ I was seemingly overwhelmed by a hoarde of zombies that ALL looked identical.  Every one of them.  The same basic models are used throughout.  I don’t think I saw a single ethnic zombie, just various caucasians.  I’m sorry but where is this game taking place?  Because it’s certainly not in the deep south, and definitely not in the vicinity of Atlanta which has way more diversity than portrayed. 

The mechanics are the game are extremely clunky and never really make sense.  I failed to see the point of sending out one of my ‘survivors’ to get anything because there’s so much shit thrown at you that you never really have a need to send them scavenging.  Of course, I sent them out anyways because lolgamemechanics.  I think I had maybe one of the 5 or so you acquire who actually returned with something.  The rest died.  I felt like they ‘should’ be doing something, but their value was never made evident.
