WildStar - Windows

This game is outstanding, of course it has a lot of early game bugs it needs to have worked out and some frame rate issues along with people using bots in pvp but thats to be expected in the early stages. I am a huge wow fan and this game pulled me away from wow within the 3 day head start. Loving every second of the game, the classes are so fun and the ground breaking way they use skill shots is gonna be the new standard for future MMO's. They have amazing pve content 40 man raids and the new PVP system called warfronts where you and your team build your own base, and the final boss in your bass is the monster of your choosing (you have to have defeated the monster in an raid or dungeon before you can use it). All in all I give this game a solid 9/10.

My husband wanted me to try this game and it has been extremely fun I love the graphics the funny little noises the creatures make I love the double jump the game is easy enough to play not a whole lot of explanation, bonus... its goin free 2 play this year! We got the box copy so we get a chance to get a free mount n we did both of us. Cool mounts too!!! Get it n play its SUPER fun!!!

I've played Wildstar for perhaps 10-15 hours now, in total. My character is around level 11 or 12, I think, which may be an indicator of how fast I'm not - but getting a character to 11 or 12 in Wildstar is not like doing it in WoW, for example. The game is fun. The graphics are colorful - if a bit skewed to the pastel palette - and the action is somewhat refreshing. Unlike WoW, which is probably a main competitor / target for Wildstar, you can't just sit back and click through a rotation on your hotbar. You need to move around, actively, during combat. You can see where enemy's major attacks and channeled abilities are going to land, and likewise, the UI shows where your attacks are aimed. And yes - you do have to aim your attacks; there's no auto targeting (at least not when dealing damage). This isn't quite the revolutionary change that some of the "dev speak" videos suggest, at least inasmuch as I've seen something similar in Terra, and there are probably other MMOs that do this now, too. But it does make for a major change of pace from WoW. The double-jump mechanic is fun, too. The plotline is mildly interesting if not compelling, but the game doesn't take itself too seriously, which is no surprise given the tone suggested in the TV and online ads. For example, the NPCs make sarcastic and pithy remarks - sometimes at their own expense - and each time you die, the announcer voice taunts you in a variety of amusing ways. The game also has Quake-style announcements for double-kills, multi-kills, etc. (The game is definitely action-oriented, but this is no FPS.) The UI definitely takes some getting used to, and as I have adjusted, I've enjoyed the game more and more. Wildstar is definitely worth checking out. I know some former hardcore WoW raiders who are lifetime converts, and there's a little bit of something for everyone.

I'm a casual gamer who just enjoys being able to run around a unique world with friends and friends to be. I've played a lot of MMOs since growing bored of WoW's ever declining difficulty scale, descent into panda silliness, and the ever constant traditional fantasy settings for almost every MMORPG that comes out. What's wrong with a good blaster or maybe a chronomatic hyper nano sword rather than steel? In an MMO gaming world flooded with elf and sword WoW clones, Wildstar is just something different and does it right. The telegraph combat system makes combat a worthwhile experience eliminating auto-attack and sit back and spam tactics. Is it more difficult? Yes. Is it more rewarding? Definately. Does it exasperate one's carpal tunnel syndrome? Maybe? The Paths system gives each character a new a experience to their progression essentially providing four questing subsets to add onto your leveling. Endgame content looks to be more involved and deep than any other game out there that hasn't been around for 5+ years. The game will have player housing upon release along with professions designed to specifically support that system with housing decor. Seriously, the stuff these developers (guys who worked on WoW) have come up with is just crazy. Check out the site www.wildstar-online.com and watch the dev video series to get an idea of what this game has to offer even for the casual gamer.

Wildstar plays like a mix of WoW and GW2. There is a lot to like but also a lot to make one very annoyed. Combat requires active movement and use of interrupts to up the difficulty but your action bar is kept simple a la GW2. The graphics are cartoony in the WoW GW2 style so it should age well. Crafting is much like any other game. This does require a monthly subscription, as of this review the game is only a week old but time will tell if they provide enough content to keep people playing at that price when Rift and GW2 don't require a monthly fee.

This game is basically old school warcraft meets Tera-ish combat. The humor is great and the combat is a big step up from previous MMOs that have entered the market. if you've tried wow in the past and quit for whatever reason, you should give this a shot because you'll be hooked again. super fun in every way. the housing alone makes this game worth it - check out the "devspeak" videos on youtube

The game is good. Graphics are great and has a great atmosphere. The problem is that the community is small and the subscription fee is still too high. If this game goes free to play then I back in.

I have only played for a short while. Hard to write a true review based on the time since the game was released. Seems to be a hybrid of WOW, Rift, and The Secret World. I'm having fun at the moment. Of course, end game content will really make or break this game. Time will tell.
