Rift for £5 is it worth it?

If it does include a free month then of course it's worth it. I spent more than that on Limbo which, as awesome as it is, didn't even last 3 hours.
 
I got really far into the game with my free month, but I didn't feel like stumping for the sub as I felt like I'd been there done that with other strikingly similar games.

Of course its worth it.

Also I don't know if its just me, but it felt like a simplified mmo, the interface, the crafting is very "easy" to use which struck me as lacking complexity.

its not just you, i felt the same but i think i was comparing it to other games, namely wow a lot of the time, which is unfair i guess as wow is such a mature product compared to rift. rift is one hell of a launch MMO though, but its just not got enough pull at this point in time to keep some people around, it should keep people who are new to MMO's occupied for a while though.
 
whats this 'witty' statement got to do with getting bored of the game? lol

My 'witty' statement was that the game can last a long time. It's not my fault you don't have the staying power but to dispute longevity is a complete misnomer.

Simple fact is; most of this game's content is at the end-game. You didn't experience that, and therefore I feel that your opinion is invalid.

However, we will clearly never agree. Good luck in all your future gaming endeavours.

but youve just assumed i havnt experienced endgame, which isnt the case at all... GG.
 
This game is poo. I got it on release and I tried it again a month ago and it's still rubbish. It's just like every other fantasy MMO and doesn't add anything new plus I hate the fact that the scenery is just a big pretty painting, you cant actually walk on those mountains like you can in WoW or The ElderScroll games.

Save your money and either play LOTRo free to play or put it towards RAGE, Skyrim, SWTOR. I recently got Just Cause 2 and in my opinion it's well more fun than I ever had playing Rift.
 
i wouldnt say the endgame is where all the content is at all. I think theres far more to keep you entertained in the run up to the few end game dungeons that are there.

And not forgetting that the endgame is where people break out the spreadsheets and dps montiors and if youre not pulling your weight youre generally ignored from raids. I wasnt, but it was just too much like hard work farming in order to keep geared up to be invited.

Its a very very easy game to get to the end though, as a reasonably casual player i made it there in 4 weeks, it was a hell of a lot of fun till it turned into a second job for the raids. well worth it for a fiver and a free month though so go for it.
