I'unno if it's an additional fourteen bucks' worth of fun, but Bundlestars has TSW Ultimate Edition for eighteen bucks for the next week. Also, as I understand it, there's more DLC content that's not included with the pack (another four "issues" it seems) with a flat value of $25(!?) each.
Definitely could use an enlightened opinion here- anyone know what's worth it?
Personally, I didn't like The Secret World.
Mostly because the AI is typical stupid MMO AI. Lore reasons or not, the "monsters" in the first zone act like everything I would find in WoW.
But, the combat is pretty bad too. Honestly, all they had to do was use Age of Conan combat and it would be better.
On top of that, because they wanted to make it an MMO so much, but at the same time, a heavy "singleplayer" experience...its the worst of both genres. Sure the story is great and unique, but imagine if it was like Skyrim or Witcher or even Dishonored. It would be vastly better.
As it is, the game is like a bad B grade movie, that happens to have good voice acting (at least early on, dunno later) and a nice story. The MMO part however really ruins it. And I like MMOs and all, but I don't want a singleplayer linear experience in an MMO. And I love singleplayer games, but I don't want multiplayer in my singleplayer game.
