To me it feels a bit like mass effect, but less focus on special abilities. The game does have an ability grid with a few special abilities, like a predator like cloak ability, one that makes you run fast and melee hard, and a couple more, but the focus is squarely on the shooting. An early calculator for the system can be found here - http://defiance-central.com/ego-calculator/

During my time with it in the betas they made huge leaps in terms of how it feels to play, and the launch version (in my opinion) feels nicely tuned. Shooting with most weapons feels satisfying, most closely resembling something like borderlands, especially if you turn on the on screen indicators for damage. The vehicles feel pretty good to drive, especially with a controller, and hitting nitrous and jumping off hills is a blast.

The zone wide events are a lot of fun to jump into and have pretty great rewards. Also, the fact that they scale means that you'll never 'need' a group to get them done, but it is definitely more fun with big groups, as it gets chaotic.

There is no mob tagging like most games of this type - just start shooting stuff that other people are and you'll get loot, exp, and quest credit.


All in all, I thought it was a lot of fun, and I'm excited for tomorrow.
