  • Man.... unbelievable, this game was made in 2001 and is one of the first mmo's, and yet it feels so.... years and beyond years above any other MMO I've played.... I played this game and played WoW and others and thought WOW they really copied AO in this part big time.

  • they should make an iphone version of the game, iphones and androids can support graphics like this

  • @gamer7916 One thing that concerns me about gaming on the Iphone or Android devices long term is that doing so will probably diminish your peripheral vision, the screen is way too small thus your level of eye movement is restricted. But then again the LCD hand helds I played in the late 70's and early 80's were about the same size ;)

  • No salex u sux

  • this game sucks

  • Just saying.. This was one of the First MMORPGS in the world.. 2001 ftw.... So shut up with the graphic things and "wow copy" and bullshit... I would say that Wow copies this.... God.

  • One other thing... The patch is not HUGE like with some games. It does take a while, but I don't recall it being as bad as I remember from some other online games.

  • Note: You get an apartment and can put stuff in it. There're vehicles.

  • Anarchy Online is ok. I tried it about a year ago and played for a month or so as a engineer. It's a big game. Sprawling landmasses and some space. But it's hard to escape the feeling that vast parts of it are ignored and decaying. It's not like logging into a game that was launched last month. If you can accept the decay then you will find a deep game, though. Lots of skills. Lots of details. Be prepared to be confused by all of it while you figure it out.

  • I have played this game for about 3 years few years back. This was an amazing game, Something i ALWAYS come back to. Only issues is how difficult this game is. A kid cant learn this game very well, too much depth in this game. I wish they improved the graphics on this game, But other than that this game was amazing experience for me.

  • Its a great game apart from the graphics... now stop complaining people.

  • Cyberpunk =/= sci fi

  • I like how they don't even leave noob island in this video...

  • @FlyinLulz Its a first look video, not a gameplay video O_O

  • Wow. Reviewer is such a tool.

  • No matter how strong you are, somewhere in the world there is a flea who can kick your ass.

  • Hey guys, is this game worth playing? I'm looking for a really in depth game, something that'll pull me in. Is this good?

  • @BeyCuber This game is pretty worthwhile. If you can get to level 20 before you quit, you'll find things start to get interesting. The classes are rather unique compared to modern MMO classes. No game goes further into character development, but that's also a bad thing at times. Doing skill allocation properly practically takes an advanced degree in mathematics mid and late game. trickle down and IP crunch is a bitch.

  • just got back into it, aaaah its soo amazing lol right back into it

  • This game is really awesome... i just started playing it. (I'm a free player for now). This game is quite complex to understand at first, so if you are used to games that hold your hand (ie WoW and others) you may find it challenging.

    The music, the atmosphere, the world, the storyline, all pretty interesting and mysterious. You will truly lose yourself when you make your first character. The cities and territories are enormous.

    I wish i had of found this game earlier.

  • Give this one another chance. Play it till the end of Abandoned subway. (Youl be level 24 by then). Kill the few bosses (Eumendes - the one EVERY veteran remembers) - Vergil and finally making your way to the last one. By that time you truly love or hate the game.

  • I miss this game.

  • when you see old graphics on a futuristic game...for some reason that tells me its gunna be good!...anything made after 2005 is NOTHING compared to the late 90s early 2000s PC games!

  • @DarkEvilGirl1 Did you ever play fade to black? Search for it on wikipedia.

  • MMOHut btw u should invent new grade for LoL

  • @MMOHut Man, its bullshit to grade such an innovative game so low - its one of the games which made standards for today's mmos. u need to be really stupid to do not know this. ps.: imo u should decrease Maple's grade from excellent to, lets say great. its because since 2007 till today nexon fucked up this game in many ways ;/ they made many new areas, dugeons items great stuff etc etc, but they made many things too easy, they killed the game by OPing all classes, now combat is childish...

  • @MMOHut

    The graphics indeed look quite bad. They could at least have polished them a little in those years. But I can agree with others, all mmos tend to be slow paced in the starting area, since you have little skills/spells and newbie weapons/armor.

    @Shootinjoo

    If you want to insult someone for having bad grammar, at least spell it out right.

  • Fucking kids and comparing all to wow...wow is overrated and aimed at kids who freak out and try to shove a remote up their butt...U wanna play a game for gameplay not just looks. Fail on the video dude, and alot of FAIL child grammer. Suck it easy im off to Rubi-Ka with my 150 S10 Keeper...

  • @Shootinjoo hehe we all should remember that AO is one of the games WoW ripped off :)

  • This is hundred time better than wow. People who playes wow are ignorant minded people

  • wonder if he realises that his weapon has specials xD

  • This person does annoy me.

    1) he says the game is slow paced. He is walking on a level 2 with the slowest possible weapon on the island.

    2) It's a sci fi game, but what's cheaper? Lazers or a piece of wood. You CHOSE the big guy with the big, heavy melee weapons.

    3) Hammers are not used like swords. That's why there's two different Two handed skills.

  • @Andybirdman22 It's the Nano Technician. It's basically the class which blows shit up.

  • um noob question guys which class acts like a mage?

  • wow this is better then MAPLESTORY AND RUNESCAPE

  • The uniqeness about Anarchy Online is the huge amount of character skill customization, more than probably any other game.

    AND you can twink you're character to insane levels with implants - a lvl 20 can have quality lvl 100 implants or more -endgame is lvl 200 for free play, 220 for paying.

  • @subadubable Not more character skill customization than EVE online! This games awesome too tho.

  • The reason enforcers use hammers is because they were used as workers in the Notum mines on the planet, by one of the factions in the game - omni.

    The workers rebelled and formed the clans, which is the other faction.

    The third faction is neutral. Then theres the ICC which acts like a kindof galactic united nations, overlooking.

  • I cried when I logged in 2 weeks ago and the playerbase was really low.

  • @wassup986 I cried when evry body stopt making good games :(

  • It is the best i've seen in my life.

  • love your voice

  • This game was meant to be getting a full graphics upgrade.

    FUNCOM

    Y U NO UPGRADE?

    ლ(ಠ益ಠლ

  • @PieCraftCast .....wut ?..it has changeed into a more powerfull engine so called the "Dreamworld engine"...

  • I have a lvl 170 fr00b (omni) and I was wondering if the game was worth paying for at the state it is now. I'd roll a clan since omni side feel dead, I don't know bout clans tho.

  • @Goutinator

    I thought it was free to play?

  • @DrMabuse2006 It is, but I have played most of the free content and there's expansion, but you have to pay for them.

  • anarchy online is not about mindlessly leveling. there are epic quests, random missions, large areas to explore, really good story-lines, complex pvp systems and old players love to help newbies. there are so many things to do in this game. there is so much this review didn't cover. play it to level 50 as free to play and realize you haven't even covered 1 tenth of the entire game. if you can afford to pay, it will be worth every penny.

  • Opifex (ah-pi-fex) , Atrox ... learn to read

  • Sometimes Omer sounds overly enthusiastic. Sometimes he doesn't, like this one.

    XD

  • Anarchy Online is still the best MMORPG. It just has horrible customer support and is currently run by some of the stupidest people in the world.

  • @RichardM137 played by retarded people too

  • Opiflex? Artox? Attox... what?? U can has buy reed skeel plz??

  • sorry there braw,but this game rocks

  • Amazing game, 6 years and still playing.... bad review though, please re-make one when you understand the game a bit better?

  • I'm pretty sure I would dislike this more than once if possible. Your review is severely incorrect...

  • By the way there is no absolute freedom, that the whole point of race and profession.

  • There are so many weapons, customizations in skills, trade. This game was revolutionary when it came out. Yes the graphics suck but the gameplay makes up for it.

  • There are so many weapons, customizations in skills, trade. This game was revolutionary when it came out. Yes the graphics suuuuuck but the gameplay makes up for it.

  • I have to agree with a lot of people here, AO was the best mmo of all time thinking about how old it is. Still missing the days borealis was packed of people.

  • porra muito ruim

    

  • AO = best mmo of all time 

  • Comment removed

  • @Crazycuban561 do you never see age of conan?

  • oplifex..artox..nanofage..wtf he cant speak and how the fuck does he keep comparing it to world of fagcraft...

  • oplifex..artox..nanofage..wtf he cant speak

  • Reminds me to much of Face of Mankind...

  • I was playing this game when the world trade center got hit exactly 10 years ago today. I remember quitting mid mission to watch the news. I quit the game a few months later.

    I'm amazed its still going 

  • afs

  • You keep making the statement about not having lasers and shit, but they were just in a ship crash.. I mean, would you have fuckin lasers and shit if you were in a ship crash?

  • @TheHatsworth Yes? Its a sifi game? Why do they have baseball bats in what ever year its made? Do we still have carrages? Think about it, Maybe if you take of ur fan glasses you would see what hes talking about.

  • "graphic not so good?" Dude, I brought this game almost 10 years ago.

    Do not compare it to crysis experience please.

  • @thaserty So true i miss it :/

  • @thaserty u made the game ?

  • @AlienatedSasquatch I brought the game

  • @thaserty This graphics was shit 10 years ago even, please don't compare your experience with others as if it was everyone opinion

  • @melton696969 considering it started production in 1995, it's pretty decent graphics for it's time compared to other MMOs. Especially for it's sheer size.

  • @junkfoodftw it didnt come out till 2001, it doesent matter when it started. but i doubt it was in 1995. alot of people were playing nintendo, maby sega and playing some sonic if lucky. rich people had beepers and the super rich had cell phones, But the phones were the size of a block like your head

  • nerds

  • The reason it doesn't feel like a sci fi game is because you picked the melee class. You need to pick a class that uses laser weapons....

  • The new engine is never coming out. Lol ): 

  • Utter Guff and arse gravy of the first order.......

  • older 'then' you... what?

  • interface is shoddy... graphics woeful... development mediocre. character progression is there somewhere.... waste of time

  • the combat is slow cus you're using a fucking sledgehammer!

  • omer u dont sound so excited about this review

  • New Engine!

  • i thought this was more futuristic i think it will get futuristic after a time wont it?

  • @KnewingFun the reviewer is a retarded noob don't listen to him, the game gets way better the deeper you go down the rabit hole (not to be misenterpreted... allthough it probably will be anyway)

  • i two shot that snake im a boss

  • @drgnldy6308 *gives cookie*

  • wait a minute...did the engineer from char creation was showing hit ass?

  • I am playing this game and have been doing so on and off for years. This review, sure its probably a good first look, but its the stuff thats said is inaccurate. Next time, please get off Newb Isle, Newb Isle is always simplified just to not let players become overwhelmed by complex cities and etc.

  • i specifically remember the soundtrack and world blew my mind.

    one of my first mmos

  • The game is fucking awesome.

  • @CyberPhysician lol its a noob game test Archlord its best free2play, best pvp pve and siege this game is so low

  • @CyberPhysician i dissagree its lik WoW witch is very easy.

  • dont know why u got dislikes amir.... u did a good job on it

  • Is it possible for you to do at least one review without mentioning World of Warcraft? Try to think about how reviewers critique'd games before it came out, it is not so definitive that every game needs to be compared.

  • This game is alot more fun then this failed review says, and the lack of "sci-fi" guns is false later on you see ALOT

  • this is riddiculous: they didnt care about graphics when runescape got grade: excellent. and runescape had T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E. graphics these days. ik that currently RS has nice graphics, but some time ago... pfffffffff

  • @MrSecretny i used to play runescape. i like it but i dont play no more. in rs you cant survive if you only use 1 combat skill, i like acounts like that. and u need money lots of.. and for making money, for me its to hard =/ and i dont like to only click on the mouse

  • i read the article and i disagree with final grade: fair. because you wrote that huge world and many stuff in the game is ruined by dated graphics. this is bullshit - who cares about graphics?! there are some games with worse graphics that are great! you failed this review!

  • @MrSecretny i agree wether a game is good or not shouldnt depend on if the graphics are good any game that has to rely on good graphics isnt a game worth playing anarchy online doesnt need good graphics it has gameplay and an extremely huge world

  • a first look of a game like AO is just retarded. people play this for over 10 years and still have fun, so how can you judge a game by playing it for like 10 minutes?

  • league of legends

  • league of legends

  • "what wrong with this guys they are so ugly" xD

  • Try coming off of the newb island and not using a melee character... Although, even most melee weapons laer on are ''sci-fi'' based.

  • At least when you review a game, make sure you know the game.. Idiot..

  • @ruipedroleite It kinda is aginst the term - FIRST LOOK

  • @ruipedroleite at least when you bash a video, be sure to read the title and description.. idiot..

  • I don't like the graphics or the gameplay. It's the same crap that ALL mmos have. Anyone who is so easily amused by grinding might as well pay me the same money to come to your house and throw a deck of cards all over your living room and then toss you a piece of candy for picking them up.

  • why is it called Anarchy Online?

    they are killing each other, every anarchist knows that killing and using force on others is wrong

    it really shouldn`t be called anarchy, it has nothing to do with anarchy

  • @splifsend

    Perhaps the game was created by someone who has a misconception about the word anarchy (most people do). It's been a while since I played the game and I can't remember if there was any form of government within the game.

  • yo i cant play sho online why

  • why is hp red, well id seggest that the redness resembles the color of blood or a heart, so as u loose health, it is not the same color on the area in which the health was lost. i can't imagine your blood or heart being black. i mean sure, scientists might believe blood is blue, but red when exposed to oxygen, however it is the color known to resemble it, as it is seen this way by people.

  • i can imagine it being awesome, but to me? no thanks..

  • man, this game is the worst thing ever

  • @danilopereirars this game is probably older then you. it Was Awsome when it came out i played it for years nothing out there can be compared to AO it is a piece of Art.

  • @vexthor i just downloaded that game,tell me is it worth to do steep learning curve?is it epic somehow?looking confusing,also who could help me?

  • i get a advertisment in the middle of the vid wthf

  • Ta gra jest głupia, uboga anmacja, grafika tez nie zachwyca, postacie sa krzywe i jakies dziwne, zero akcji i zabawy, jakies dziwne machanie mlotkiem w zwierzeta nie wiadomo o co tam nawet chodzi. Gra bez sensu.

    Age of conan, to jestgra, albo Lineage 2. Forsaken world, a to to jakis badziew jest. pokroju Tibia 3d

  • "I two shotted that snake, ima boss."

  • For any new player, DO NOT use the suggested IP distribution, it's terrible and you'll gimp yourself quickly. Read some guides on the proffession you choose and where the skills should be used.

  • Comment removed

  • can you jump ?

  • @Xzigy Yes, space bar.

  • the character looks so primitive...

  • nice game! i downloaded it's so cool! oh good vid!

  • The reason why some skills are green/blue and so on, is that the green ones costs less advancement points to improve on, than a dark blue one. at early levels, it doesn't mean much, but later on it means a lot, since the skills costs increase exponentially.

  • God, does term Cyberpunk mean something to you? Guess not, melee weapons like hammer etc. are pretty much common in cyberpunk. Anarchy rules, its one of top mmos, but its kinda tricky to play, cause its nmot like wow when you het items along the way and quests points your way arround game world. This is clasic hardcore mmo, where you got to figure out everything yourself. Or ask ppls, cause no game has better comunity. Random money? Normal. Free lvling? Also, etc.

  • @kloboucak007 your right but it is kinda ridiculousness i mean a solgier gets a laser assault rifle and an enforcer gets a.. hammer... wtf, i mean something with like kinetic energy enhancer or something you know.

  • NORWEGIAN! :D

  • Start with soldier and you'l get a solar powered laser rifle

  • Zapraszam polaków na serwer Aquarius rejestrując się wpiszcie introduction id 9170146G000403027006998S3f3fb1 po dobiciu 60 lvl macie dużą szanse na dostanie się do topowej gildi z maxymalnym lvlem i dostęp na klanowego ts z miłą atmosferą. Z mojej strony można liczyć na niewielką pomoc

    Pozdrawiam Kamilexons

  • click translate audio... its hilarious

  • I cringed when he said "I guess this game was developed well before World of Warcraft was released."

    WoW wasn't the first MMORPG...

  • @joelklavins Meridian 59 was the first and is still active today. The sad thing is that I think Meridian 59s PvP is still the best. All the games today are so cookie cutter. I am looking forward to a game called "The Secret World".

  • @joelklavins it was the first of the modern style MMORPG however WoW set a standard for MMORPGs with all the different quests dungeons raids and such.

  • Hey guys, theres a cool game like this one, but its more sandbox. You will understand it when you play it.

    It's name is Face of Mankind

    ITS FREE, NOT P2P. but you can become premium.

    my name is Joseph Baikov. Its very realistic.

  • @flyforfunfunny Face of Mankind is crap... everyone is just a cop so they don't get shot and you do nothing but patrol as a cop

  • @T3hPCGamer It's because you never went to a war in the game, when your ready for a war, you get very anxious and when it starts your PC lags because of the amount of players shooting each other there.

    The entire game isn't just cops. If the game hadn't cops, then the roleplayers lifes(in this game) would be ruined.

  • @T3hPCGamer It's because you never went to a war in the game, when your ready for a war, you get very anxious and when it starts your PC lags because of the amount of players shooting each other there.

    The entire game isn't just cops. If the game hadn't cops, then the roleplayers lifes(in this game) would be ruined. sorry for bad english

  • How is it ridicolous to come back to this game? The gameplay is amazing, there is SO much stuff to do, and it's still updated regularly.

  • You started with a melee character and complains about the lack of "sci-fi guns" ? come on dude...

  • @bjohansen91 he said sci fi theme... not guns lol. a war hammer with this kind of game is odd in deed. atleast a space sword! haha =P

  • @bjohansen91 You better be joking because what he chose as a char dosen't have anything with the review.

  • @bjohansen91 I think his complaint was more about how the melee weapons were done (meaning they seemed fantasy themed) and that he didn't really see anyone else with lasers

  • You are pretty well informed about the game. I myself have been playing AO on and off since its debut in 2002 (yeah 10 years... crazy huh?). Anyway, I can recommend it wholeheartedly. Don't be fooled by the graphics which have become iconic for AO at this point. Community is great and the skill system is so deep that many players make a hobby out of twinking!

  • lol omer you taled allot slower in 2010!

  • FAZ UM VIDEO TRADUZIDO PARA PORTUGUES OBRIGADO 

  • nb

  • anyone from the balkans, change the last letter of that dude on 7:50 to *c* :D

  • is this gam good??? and do ppl still play?

  • @mabDave Yes, many.

  • @mabDave Tons people still play.

  • Love this game! The details involved with twinking your characters stats can be mind bending sometimes. The lag can be a little frustrating, but the req's for it are small enough that I can even get it to play on my netbook :) !

  • @Romeomoon yea Anarchy Online is easily my favorite game of all time first time i played it was like 7-8 years ago i only stopped because so few people remain in the F2P zones :( i remember when sub and ToTW would be packed with people outside and youd never have trouble finding a group but youd have trouble actually killing because so many played! now your lucky if you find a group of 3 people :(

  • @MonkiFuzzProductions Yeah it's still pretty empty, even with them combining the German server with RK1. Only reason why me and my friend have gotten our Fr00b Enforcers up pass 70 is because we know an 8 year veteran in real life who still plays and can help us twink into our stuff. We're all in The Independent Rubikans org if you're ever on. They've finalized the new Age of Conan engine and seem to be setting up AoC similar to AO's Fr00b vs. Paid account system. Here's to new graphics soon!

  • @Romeomoon good to hear would be interested in playing again if i had someone to talk to add me on skype perhaps? names SenileSmile on skype :)

  • @MonkiFuzzProductions That sounds good. I'll add you to my Skype contacts. We usually talk through Skype for IR.

  • I like this MMO called Free Realms. Its a child friendly game because well im a child

  • If I were to give the graphics a rating from 1 to 10 it would be -10.000.000

  • @itsBWtime Then you'd fail because the lowest number you can give is 1.

  • they dont really have male or female. They just HUGE :D made my day

  • played for 6 years, best game ever .. wish i knew of this when it was launched

  • I saw a crosshair...do you have to aim manually in this game? =o

    Is it an option? (I'd consider it a good thing)

  • Should re-do this one with the full fifteen minutes :D
