Info, screens and stuff: http://store.steampowered.com/app/113420/

People compare it to Fallout every five minutes in the chat, so I had expected to find some discussion about FE over here too, but...no. (If there is a thread and I missed it...sorry. ) I picked it up yesterday, it was confusing at first but the world is *huge* and there's a ton of stuff to do. It was surprisingly fun once I got out of the tutorial and noob areas. My wait for FO4 has suddenly become a little easier.

So... Any clones in here? What do you think of it?

Installed it, launched it, couldn't make a character. Uninstalled.

Looks interesting. Downloading now.

Tried the mac version it was meh

The big question is...........

Are there Aliens

Yea, I was surprised but also not too surprised to find it as FTP on Steam

I've been wondering about trying it for some time... I don't know. I feel like I could spend my time playing videogames better. That is, spending my time on better video games

Although, from what you're saying, maybe its better than what I am thinking...

its ok, i did not get out of the noob areas. i really like that it is huge, i found the controls to be awkward and also the lack of weapon sound effects was confusing.

normally i do not mind poor graphics, but the stipulation being that i don't mind them as long as i can tell what i am looking at and there were a number of times in my testing of fallen earth that i could not.

the only other thing i did not like was that the screen was too cluttered, although that may just be an mmorpg thing.

I've been looking into it for awhile. It's actually been up quite awhile.

Are there really no weapon sounds?

I played it before it went F2P, dropped it as soon as they announced they were switching over. Not because I'm anti-F2P, I'm just anit-GamersFirst. Terrible, TERRIBLE company. No way in hell I was giving them my money.

i think there were a couple, maybe some kind of thunk noise for axes, but for the guns that i used there were none. granted i played the game for maybe 1 hour.

for a free game its actually pretty good, but i would never pay money for this game.

As for the game... after I saw it on Steam, I looked up some reviews. They seemed to think it was an interesting idea, but the execution left something to be desired. Didn't seem worth the download.

I lag to the point of unplayable.

This game really needs a larger budget. Imagine this game if it had three more years of development, in the hands of a 100 crew big team.

gamersFirst hates me, so I can not play either this game or APB.

I tried it with a friend, we got bored shortly after we left the start zone.

Where can I find the Mac version?

On their site

I've played some. It probably says something that my favourite thing about the game is the item descriptions. But it gets a little better once you're out of the noob areas, I even got used to the awkward controls after a while. You'd better love crafting, though. My gripes are the typical MMO things; repetitive quests, crap AI and enemies spawning right in front of you - and that legendary raider leader you finally managed to take out? Will respawn in a couple of minutes so the next group can kill him. You can't change anything.

The world is large, yes. I went on a road trip to the far corner of it, to find a merchant who'd sell me a certain hard-to-find crafting material, and that took around 10-12 hours by horse. That trip was the best part of the game for me - dodging raider traps along the road, fleeing from mutants and later the hordes of zombies (at least I think they were zombies ) that poured out of the forest at night. Saw perhaps a handful other players in the entire time, it really felt like a wasteland.
Of course, when I finally reached that town and tracked down the merchant, it turned out the wiki was wrong and she didn't have the stuff I came for. Five minutes later, I was mauled by a bear. There's probably a lesson to be learned there, but I'm not entirely sure what.
