Video Game Reviews of Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer
Customer Review: Rise of a great expansion
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay lets get a couple of the negative things out in the open before I start this review. Yes if youre running on Vista or 7 32 bit youll prolly experience memory problems. But as a vista 32 bit user myself I found this link that helped me with my memory situation;
[...]
I know it wont fix everyone's problems if they experience any but thats worth a try along with updating graphics drivers. Those are a couple of things that I found really helped with my stabilty in game and the last couple of patches have optimized the epansion areas.
But overall as a consumer I am really impressed with the leaps and strides Funcom has made with the expansion. The new areas are lavishly detailed and rendered wonderfully. The end level areas are vast and open different challenges. If you think you can go in there without being properly geared or skilled by youself think again. This is what I really like about this new expansion, it offers more of a challenge and the six man dungeons offer tons of entertainment and have a Godslayer mode that offers even better rewards.
Even though there isnt new levels the Alternate Advancment System offers new talents, perks, and abilities that can now diverisfy different players and their skills. It can be a bit of a grind but this is what they are doing instead of new levels. In my opinion its the same premise as getting new levels and is still a way to progress your already maxed out character. From a PVPer's perspective though, this is probably the only thing thats been added to cater to the pvp side of the game. But even though its the only thing its a pretty big addition.
Now the game has factions along with a new race, there are about twelve factions and you can join a total of seven. With each faction comes different quests for the areas and dungeons that offer faction points that reward you with tokens and faction levels that offer you new gear. This can offer a lot of depth as who you want to join, some factions may give you the armor you want, but another might have a mount or pet or weapon youd like just as much. Theres even a betrayl system implemented that lets you backstab your faction to join an opposing one. Be careful though, this wont let you switch on the fly and requires a lot of work.
I do not consider myself a jaded gamer and this game isn't perfect, but I dont find this expansion "grindy" in the slightest. It is what you make of it, you can grind the same quests if you want like i tried, but as I did that my friends were out exploring doing different dungeons and quests that I was missing. Theres plenty to do without feeling tedious, but again thats up to the player and his or her guild. But there are flaws, one obvious one is the above stated memory problem for 32 bit users, I and many others have found solutions to fix our problems but the game still needs to look into that. Also a major PVPer myself I find this expansion not catering much to the pvpers, though the patches prior to the expansion did add extra PVP levels and gear.
Aside from the few problems I am loving this expansion and am definitly getting my money's worth. This game is not AION or WoW, so if youre coming from there and expecting the same you might want to change your mindset to enjoy the game. Different doesnt always mean bad :)
