Rift, should I buy it?

[Jayhmmz]

I've watched a video review on IGN.com, and they said it's a great game, giving it an 8.5, whilst saying this is the strongest RPG release in a while, after Warcraft.

The only negative part of the conclusion that they gave, is that it was unoriginal, as it just tries to be better than the other games. Apart from that, it was showered with nothing but good words and complements.

I was just wondering if anyone from the forum, who has played it for a fair amount of hours, can give me a second opinion on the game

Ultimately, is it just another one of those games that will start out awesome, but get really boring and I won't play it after a month or two months of playing it?

It looked like a good game, but like almost every other MMO, you're going to get the MMO Syndrome where the characters all look the same.

Not sure. I have several friends who play it constantly/played it extensively when it came out so that they were the highest level players, etc. They really like it, but I assume it's like every MMO. It's supposed to be fun, though I'd like to get it, but don't like pay-to-play games.

The beta was pretty fun and I enjoyed it, its different than WoW where they have random randoms and rifts opening up. I would say give it a shot

I am considering it. I would have purchased it by now if it weren't for my limited funds for this month, as I've already bought Homefront this week, and I'm going to Valencia, Spain next Friday! So I would have to be 100% sure about it

I played the Beta and I really Enjoyed it, if you like MMO's get it.

Thank you very much!

After reading your review and having a look at a few more second opinions, I'm very tempted to buy it!

I know Jango has been into this game. When I asked him how it was all he responded was "fun". =P

Aslo I might be getting into this game myself.

Correction I now have this game. Its pretty good so far, pve wise. Im excited to see if the PVP is better then what wow has.

Soooo I've been playing Rift, and... it's nothing spectacular. Bob has an account that he let me use, so I might play it more just 'cause I am not paying for it and I have friends who play, but... to be honest, Guild Wars is much better, and it is SUPER old. :/ So far it's not really any different than WoW.

It's kinda "meh" to me; not worth paying a subscription for, in my opinion. However, I am not that far in yet, so maybe I will change my mind as I play more! These are my initial thoughts, though.
