  • @sambonz When you get the chance, when the game becomes free to play where you live, do you think you can commentary on AION Online? By the way, great job in all your videos!

  • @yhonk889 thanks! re Aion, i don't think i will sorry., it's just way too grindy for my tastes =)

  • I´ve seen some of your vids and I like what I see. You can showcase games as one should and in a really good way. Recently I made a video myself but in my own little way, but I can´t ever compare myself to you. You have this drawing-power that people gets sucked into. It´s a good thing though since it makes ´em learn more about the games they want to try out. In short, what you do, makes gamers all around the world try more games worthy of being tried. Great work dude! ^_^

  • @FinalHype that's some very high praise there - thank you very much for the kind words =)

  • @sambonz Just so you know, I meant everyone of them. And yeah, you´re very welcome. ^_^

  • dude YOUR AWESOME I look up to play with you on DC UNIVERSE ONLINE! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! :D

  • @zugosshudias1 thank you! glad you're enjoying the shows =)

  • im downloading the game (the ftp one) and watching this while im waiting :) just to get a look at the game, and i have to say, it looks stunning :) thanks for uploading this video, its nice to get a look at a games play with commentary so i can get a hold on whether i would like it or not :)

  • @mageoverload you're very welcome! hope you enjoy checking out the game =)

  • played this game for roughly 6 months, got into one of the best guilds in EU and eventually disbanded due to the game itself being kinda horrid back then. I hope and wonder if its any good nowadays? :)

    Anyway, big ups for those who still play. I did enjoy my time playing this game, hope others do aswell!

  • Thanks so much sambo. Most let's players don't respond to their commenters and I appreciate your time. Pretty sure ill be getting it. Thanks again.

  • @magmaroo you're very welcome. if i may make a suggestion; have you tried the F2P version of it? if not give that a go (link is in the description above) as it allows you to play until L20 =)

  • I really really want to get this game...but I've heard it isn't very active. And this is a social game. Without many active players, its not very playable. Sambo ill take your word for it since your still actively playing. Is there a lot of people on a lot. I understand that there's a ton of new games out there, and that might temporarily lower the numbers, but what do you think overall? This will be my first p2p mmorpg. Thanks. :D

  • @magmaroo it's a tough one, as there's no real cut and dried way of saying a game is 'busy or active'. the best measure is whether or not you're able to readily find others to play with when you feel like doing group content, i guess. if you're looking for a world that's bustling with players in the low level zones, then no MMO older than 1yr is going to give you that as most players have reached level cap =)

  • if you think about it there is know good or bad in mmorpgs because what you consider bad and good the opposite faction there might be some1 different who thinks they are good and goes the opposite faction from you thinking your side is bad =P

  • @MrDarkwolfify hehe yup definitely =)

  • Guardian = bad..

    Defiant = good.

  • wow i have to say this game fixed everything wow missed

  • @rayano they've definitely taken the best bits and made them even better =)

  • I usually play free games and then end up paying on those for the awesome items and equips, thing I hate about it though are the complete morons of the community, in your experience of P2P games would you say the community is a much better? also awesome vid as always keep up

  • @CodeExoticX thanks for the kind words! glad you're enjoying the series =) re your question, sadly in my experience i've found the same. i think when someone's not invested financially in a game they feel that they're able to take it less seriously, and therefore sometimes deliberately behave in a disruptive manner just to troll or try and get attention. it's not true of all F2P players of course, but more often than not i do find more 'trouble' in F2P games.

  • the interface looks completely stolen from WOW....

  • It's like the didn't even try and hide the fact either....

  • @rwyankees Grrrr everything is a WoW clone!

    I see quite a bit of game with that type of interface set-up, it's nice and familiar to people who have played other games and I don't see a problem with it.

  • wow can't wait to watch more of your vids ;)

  • @TheHeadlessMonkey98 glad to hear it! i hope you enjoy them =)

  • *takes off clothes* ''The reason I want to see that is because I want to see if it changes our stats at the top''

    ROFL sure bro. xD

  • @Paskovitchz ahah i never thought of that :D

  • Just found this on the Rift forums. Thanks for uploading this series.

  • @RulingBullet you're very welcome! nice to have you along for the ride =)

  • Thanks for the upload...Exploring MMO's so this should be interesting.

  • @jseph1234567890 you're very welcome! i hope this, and the other playlists in my series, help you make some informed decisions =)

  • is this free or do u pay to play

  • @smileyShiiZniTZ Rift requires a monthly sub =)

  • what race is best

  • @awhiteknight1 hehe there's no 'best' race. it depends upon what your personal play preference is. if it's your 1st toon just go for the one you like the look of the most =)

  • Dwarf density is probably the most underrated race ability.

  • @emero510 haha :D

  • @sambonz Once you hit Scarlet Gorge, regular races will be looking for a safe landing spot. Dwarves are like honeybadgers, they don't give a f*** and just jump. :P I leveled 2 dwarves to 50 before I switched factions, and I really miss it.

  • @emero510 haha

  • you still play??

  • @KillingxVariety absolutely! we're still putting out episodes =)

  • @sambonz how many subscribers do you have

  • @coldhawk09 you can see how many subscribers a channel has by looking at the number up the top right on their main page.

  • @sambonz what shard you play on??

  • @KillingxVariety 'Laethys'

  • you must really like that name cuz you're using it again

  • @Dperry79 i do. it's one of my main character names that i always use.. =)

  • lol just wait the free trial will extend like wows new free trial FOREVER with a lvl cap for freebees

  • @SupaGoldenMonsta it'd be good if Rift's trial period was a little longer, that's for sure =)

  • I also prefer female characters to male ones despite the fact that in real life i am male as, pixel or not, i would rather stare at the back of a female than a male.

  • @vMattiieeeeXD i hear ya =)

  • take empire and rebels from star wars rebels figured they were good guys by trying to stop palpatine and palpatine was just trying to make a very very very long empire

    so there both in the right AND wrong

  • @lostsagadragon i agree completely =) but back when this was filmed we were new to the game and by all accounts it sounded like there were clear 'light and dark' factions. we eventually discovered that wasn't quite the case as we got fed more lore :)

  • @sambonz thank you for provin my point mate

  • well depending on how u look at life both sides are techniqley good and bad guys

    it all depends on which side u are

  • I'm on Laethys! ^_^

  • @ch0k3on1t /wave! =)

  • @sambonz /wave! =) Oh screw it, let's /dance! =D

  • @ch0k3on1t ahah /cheer

  • What Shard are you on?

  • @ImaFridayingMahLazor Laethys =)

  • @sambonz *Sad Face* I'm on EU :(

  • @ImaFridayingMahLazor ah ok - yah Laethys is the official Oceanic server which is why we're there =)

  • @sambonz can you please get better video graphics

  • @jayajcyvt not sure what you mean..?

  • i wish mmos like wow and rift were like one time pay and play it sucks cause when im playing wow and my game time runs out i gotta wait bout 2 or 3 weeks before i can pay and renew my wow sunscripyion

  • @killermvp123 yah, sadly the subscription model doesn't suit everyone's budget / pay style.

  • nice lets play man! :D

  • @TheR3N4T thank you! glad you enjoyed it =)

  • Also thx for making this a long lets play

  • @boyo3244 you're very welcome! i'm glad you enjoyed it =)

  • I LIKE YOUR voice Also could some 1 like the video i made since i am not very populer at school and i wanna beat my friends utube video

  • It's really nice to have someone whose willing to get into the nitty gritty of the game, so many other reviewers just play for 15 minutes and never continue on, though i can't blame them in some cases, but this is nice

  • @floweraura21 thank you! glad you enjoy the detail =)

  • FK Just FK it . me and my friend bought this game and gess what we cant play it . its says we need to pay a monthly game card and Just fk it that we need to pay every moth to play on it why they just cant let us pay for the game we bought and let us play for ever

  • @Helponwar oh - yah Rift is indeed a game that requires a monthly subscription. i know this doesn't help much, but it always pays to read the box as it clearly states that the sub is required. sorry you got confused about it tho :S

  • @Helponwar Lol umad? Like sambonz said, read the goddamn box before you purchase it. So you can find things out like monthly subs. Calm down.

  • i went through 2 diet cokes during this video btw I really enjoyed it!

  • @Elite2Gamer21 hehe that can be our new measure of time ;p glad you enjoyed it! =)

  • sambonz i love u !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @52923364l i love you too man! =)

  • finally got it to work how do i join your guild and what realm are you in

  • @MHDAbbott we're on the Laethys realm, and there's a link in the description here to the guild page - look for the 'apply' menu up top =)

  • Defiant's are evil they are both good in their own way. Defiant's are just taking matter's into THEIR hand's?

  • @swizecheeze Aren't

  • omg the second he get's in game people are already talking about being trannys

  • @MHDAbbott welcome to every MMO ;p

  • subsribed keep it coming

    

  • @TheGamingcenteral thank you for your support! =)

  • "whats a rift?"

    "That thing in the background"

  • @Thedrizzle404 Tallahassee at his finest =)

  • @Thedrizzle404 actually thats the thing before a rift, i think its a tear... havent played for a while.

  • oh.sorry

  • @dulanwy101 it's no problem! we just weren't aware of the backstories when we started out =)

  • Booo! you ned to go defiants. dont you want to summon dragons and stuff. and niether are the good guys to let you know

  • @dulanwy101 yah we discover this later on in the series (no 'good guys') =)

  • Hey Sambo, Loving the Rift videos. Like many other people, You made me re-subscribe to the game. You seem like a really nice dude and it will be nice to see you around Laethys.

    P.S. I'm from Melbourne as well :)

  • @CombatPlatypus heya fellow Melbournian! glad you're enjoying the game again, and for sure if you see us online say gidday. even better, apply for the guild! =)

  • you made me rescribe to rift thank you :D

  • @Downfall654 glad to hear it! keep us posted with your thoughts now that you've come back for another look =)

  • I just found the channel and loving the Rift videos. I have separation anxiety while I'm at work and your videos keep me entertained with the game during those 8 hours.

    Also, I am thoroughly impressed with the amount of time you spent with the game without even getting to the initial quest. I have 4 characters and haven't spent that much time in total on that. It was refreshing to see, and made me nostalgic for the time when it was all brand new to me. I now take the game for granted. Can't

  • @corwiniii thank you very much! i'm really glad the episodes help you get thru the work day ;p

  • i only have one complaint with this amazing video. teh defiant arent the styreotypical bad guys. both factions are trying to save the world from destruction, the biggest difference is that the guardians are carrying out the will of the gods while teh defiants are thinking for themselves.

  • @rhinodude1022 yah i agree =) but back at the beginning of the game, not knowing anything about it, i definitely took the approach of a 'light side' and a 'dark side'. as the series goes on we discover that isn't the case =)

  • THESE VIDEOS ROCK. YOU ROCK DUDE!!!!

  • @MinorKrax thanks! glad you're enjoying them =)

  • i cant play rift cause my trial is over

  • @awhiteknight1 aw poop! sorry to hear that. i guess you have to make the call as to whether or not it's worth the $15/month now =)

  • Time to start on another one of these let's plays :D

    will probably take a few weeks to watch through all of these though haha

  • @Nit996 hehe yeh there are a fair few of 'em ;p hope you enjoy!

  • @sambonz i most certainly will, i greatly enjoyed your FFXIV videos :D

  • Dat "armour". 

  • thankyou for making this, i was thinking of buying the game but i didnt know wether i would enjoy it or not but now i know i will like it XD thanx so much

  • @comeatmenan you're very welcome! i'm glad you found it useful, and i hope you enjoy the game if you end up getting it. keep us posted on your thoughts if you do! =)

  • @sambonz i bought it, still updating but cant wait to play XD love all of your videos rock on man \m/

  • @comeatmenan oh grats! you're in for a very fun ride =) be sure to keep us posted with your thoughts too please. and thanks for your support!

  • @sambonz Hey sambonz im thinking of buying wow (World of Warcraft) but im not shure what to do! i want catacalysm so i know a store that sells a chest whit all classick burning crusade etc. to catacalysm so do i have to buy all expansions aswell as game card? Sorry for bad writing, writing whit one hand, my other hand is broken.

  • @InsaneMagnus eep! i hope your hand recovers soon! re WoW - yup if you want Cataclysm content then you need to buy the WoW Battle Chest, plus Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions. Don't worry about buying a gamecard though as your purchase of the Battle Chest will come with a free 30 days =)

  • @sambonz Ok so if i get it right i have to get expansinos for expansions? Can't i just download them from the World of Warcraft official websiteif there are expansion for the expansions? by the way Worgens look awesome as Death Knight (ive been playing Molten WoW private server)

  • @InsaneMagnus you can definitely download the entire game if you prefer (the launcher will do that for you). but obviously you'll still need to purchase keys for the game. it's actually far easier to do it all from the Blizzard store (online) in my opinion =)

  • Exceptional Let's Play! Really well made and well informed. Very useful as well, since I've JUST bought this game so, obviously, I'm very inexperienced with it so far. So this is really helpful! Well done, good sir! Well done!

  • @Mast3rh3nx thank you very much! that's some high praise there - glad you enjoyed it and grats on getting the game =)

  • @sambonz Thanks! Will keep watching these as I advance on the game myself =) Oh and I've also subscribed ya. Keep the good stuff coming! =D

  • @Mast3rh3nx thanks for your support and kind words =)

  • I like this game not bad.

  • @mojonm it's right up there with the best of them that's for sure =)

  • I built a new PC for this game. Waiting for all my parts this week :) It'll hold me over until ToR (unless I fall in love with it ofc)

  • @NoTTaShoT ooh kewl, exciting! be sure to let us know when you make it in to Telara =)

  • Heaps Of People Say That Rift Is Better Than WoW, But I Will Stick WithThe Original (WoW)

  • @Make1tRa1n personally i don't think of them in terms of one being 'better' than the other. they're just different - both are fantastic =)

  • @Make1tRa1n i played wow for about 5 years, I'm kinda bored of it now so i deleted it and like rift better, but that's just because i fully experienced wow.

  • I love your voice. Full homo.

  • I'm your density..Nice one Sambo

  • @kall550 BTTF FTW! =)

  • Is it just me or do other people also make up a story behind their character when making new ones for MMO's? :3

  • @logileksen oh it's definitely not just you =) i've done that more than a few times across different MMOs. most notably on my toons in LotRO, which is the game i tend to get as close to RP'ing as any other. mainly because it's so very well set up for it tho =)

  • How do you make videos longer than 15 min? i dont understand how poeple got like hour long videos.

  • @MrDisgood you have to wait for YouTube to enable the feature on your channel. to get that you have to be uploading a fair amount and have a few followers. good luck! =)

  • @MrDisgood they are either partnered With Youtube or they had their account prior to the 15min cap that YT put in place.

  • Comment removed

  • Every guy plays a girll whyyy

  • @HardcoreDPS for me, it's because i find the male character models always sub-standard in MMO's, as if the developers put more effort into crafting the female ones. if i'm going to spend 1000's of hours on a toon, i prefer it not to look awkward and poorly-modeled, as most male one's do to my eyes. that, and i'd rather stare at the rear of a female than a male, but hey each to their own if you prefer it the other way around.. =)

  • @sambonz Well I don't stare at my toons butt lol :P

  • @MrEndOfWorld1 14.99 USD a month.

  • thanks for the review, your voice acting is really cool, and interesting, five thumbs up ^^.

  • @Raxapheon you're very welcome, and thanks for the kind words! =)

  • :O Watching this to figure out how to play Rift :P

    And.. wow... I can see a difference in your videos! You sound more enthusiastic now? haha :) great job!

  • This game's graphics cant be THAT better than mine...

    3:52

    FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

  • omfg i so remember seing you when i first started i cant remember the server but i saw you standing at the ledge as i pressed forward. this is the games details was great but as soon as i hit lvl 28 i noticed no changes in armor crafted or quested so i sadly left the game.... the only thing that was different armor wise was blue items / epics :( i still have a <3 for it ppl just i dont like armor being the same all the way up to max lvl which it seemed to me cause i ran everywhere trust me.

  • @StepGillette hehe really? that would've been back when we were on Wolfsbane =)

  • @sambonz hey u r canadian cuz if u are thats awesome cuz canadians are awesome

  • @oathdragon hehe no i'm not. i love Canadians, but i'm a New Zealander living in Australia =)

  • @sambonz even better xD

  • Respond to this video...  1 question though my rift game isnt working

  • @oathdragon my suggestion, if you're having technical issues, is to get thee to the official Rift forums and post on there. the community is extremely helpful and you'll get some sage advice =)

  • @sambonz thx

  • she look hooooot

  • How much a month is rift?

  • @Beardiguy97 it's $14.99 / month, slightly less if you sub in larger chunks =)

  • personally i classify the factions as Religion vs. Science

  • @RakkiXIII ooh that's a really good way of describing them. nice!

  • rift or wow what should i get

  • @J0EKIN what you should do, is try the free trial of both and see which you prefer =)

  • @sambonz =( but that means buying them both and downloading them both?

  • @J0EKIN the free trails of both are completely free - no purchase required! =) and the WoW client actually streams in, so you're not waiting very long til you can play, and your data usage is minimised as a result =)

  • @sambonz im trying to convinse my mum atm to let me buy rift but she keeps going on about the updates and the cost -_- and installation

  • I love your playthroughs!! :D

  • @deleterguy thank you! glad you're enjoying them =)

  • i like distance and pets
