Defiance - Watch the show, buy the game!
Posted: Thu May 02, 2013 2:22 am
Anybody else here a Defiance fan? 
It's not TERRIBLY popular, what with its plethora of glitches and that it isn't CoD or TES, but I'm a fan. I watch the show AND play the game. And perhaps my character will end up on the show, as they are having a contest, whereupon the winners' characters get a spot in a future episode of the show. But I probably won't win. But oh well. XD
Post-apocalyptic, sci-fi world. The gameplay is quite a lot like Borderlands--drive around, shoot stuff, there are lots of guns, lots of critters (which may have elemental attacks), lots of missions, and upcoming DLCs.
In the game, you're an Ark Hunter in the area 'round what used to be San Francisco--a treasure hunter, really. Arks are the ships that the Votanis Collective (aliens) used to escape their dying solar system. They arrived at Earth. Bigotry lead to war. And at some point, the Arks blew up for some reason. The debris rains from orbit--hence, Arkfalls came to be an occasional happening, and people with a taste for treasure will pursue the Arkfalls, to compete for their share of Votan tech. (The Arkfalls are also the reason for the world being really, really effed up. Terraforming technology and all sorts of alien biological samples, chemicals, and technologies smashing into the planet surface from the Arks meant the earth was vastly transformed and scarred--cities and structures being crushed, the geography of the planet shifting and changing, new alien species of critters and plants popping up everywhere...Fun stuff.)
In the show, Nolan and Irisa (A former soldier and his sorta adopted alien daughter) become Lawkeepers (self explanatory) in the town of Defiance (former St. Louis, after Old St. Louis was buried by the terraforming disaster, and was renamed after the Battle of Defiance, in which human and Votan soldiers threw down their weapons to help trapped and injured citizens).
So? Any other fans? Or soon-to-be fans? Or am I just fartin in the breeze, here?
