Meh. I only care about Transformers when High Moon is involved. They're the only ones who can do it right.

...Jagex?

Really?

Debut tomorrow at SDCC.

I can actually put a modicum of trust into Jagex. I hate Runescape with the fury of a thousand exploding suns, but that's because the game was fundamentally broken from the beggining and the only way to save it would involve tearing it down and building it back up from the ground up. That and the playerbase.

The've been wanting to make something that's quite simply "Better" for a long time. They had another game called "Stellar dawn" in the making that they where planning on releasing for a more mature audience, in fact. Guess they dropped that when they heard they could get the license to transformers. Considering it's transformers though, who wouldn't?

YES!!!

Ooooh here we go.

they're running an open beta today. you can jump in anytime.

so far, i'm having a blast with the game.

So I gave the game a try and I have mixed feelings thus far. Admittedly, it's Beta, so there's room for improvement yet, but the main thing I noticed is that 1) getting into Pv P games is far more difficult than it probably should be and 2) the game can run really slowly in the midst of combat.

Oh, and the maps could really use some work. The hills on old Jasper, for one, were really a pain to navigate. And for the most part they felt really small.

BTW, anyone who's playing sign up with the Autobots?

So my fellow Cybertronians,

Is it worth it?

I will abstain from answering that question until we get past beta and the "full version" has actually released.

I got into the closed beta of this game, I think.

Tried it out for about half an hour, but it's really laggy on my computer (admittedly it's just an laptop). Driving around felt awkward and I had no idea what I was supposed to do in the first mission. So I drove around for a bit, got to a road that was blocked and drove over the rocks to bypass it. Turns out you can transform in this game. I expected that much, but pressing the t-key earlier didn't do anything so I assumed it would be unlocked later.

Nothing told me I could transform or what I should do or anything, really. Shooting felt really awkward, I'm not even sure I hit anything other than the ground. Loading the level took way longer than I ended up playing, I saw the intro cinematic roll by three or four times before I finally got to do something.

I don't think I'll be playing this game again, it's probably not my type of game (even though I have no idea what the game is actually like besides driving, walking and shooting).
