Anyone have this game yet?
The premise sounds really interesting.

I have been playing this for over a year now. It has come a long way since then. But I can say for me, it hits all of my buttons in a good way. I have truly enjoyed this game and I am still enjoying it today. Have not picked it up for PS4 yet but I have every intention of doing so.

Thanks Bullit!
I'm reading the descriptions and it sounds like you can build structures? Even towns and help develop civilizations?
In the IGN review it says the single player stuff is boring compared to the MMO portion.
Is this accurate?
And is the combat any good?

Yes you can build structures. Honestly the crafting in this game is top notch and one of the best features. You can form clan and basically build your own city of you have enough people.

I dont think the single player stuff is boring at all. I dont know why, but I have fallen in love with games like this. I have beaten almost all of the Maps in Ark, playing Solo and I have been playing Conan Solo as well as playing with a small group of friends on a private server.

Ark is all about the raiding of other players and control of the server (which is why I play Solo) and has no real other elements to it. If you are playing Solo then base building is really just cosmetic and for your own enjoyment.

Now Conan, on the other hand. Since its full launch has added a thing called the Purge. Where at intervals armies of creatures, men or monsters can sweep across the land and attack you base or bases, even in single player. So you have to design your base with defense in mind even if you are playing by yourself. Single player in Conan you still have Dungeons, Boss Fights, Exploring and random adventures, all of the same stuff you have in Online. Just no other players attacking your base or you. But the world is full of NPC's to interact with and fight. If you like playing Solo, which I do, I have never been bored at all. As a matter of fact at some points I enjoy the challenge of Solo more. While playing with my friends is a blast, sometimes it gets a little easy to beat stuff when you have 4 guys kicking ***.

Combat IS a little clunky and the AI is easily the worst part of this game. I am just being honest. There will be times when you just cant help but throw up your hands with a resounding "Really game, really!!!" Like I had a boss fight with a giant spider that refused to climb off a 10 foot cliff and just sit there while I peppered it with arrows, LOL. But if you let that stop you, you are missing out on a great game. Really if you are even slightly interested don't miss out on playing this one.

Thanks brother!
I've been looking for a game and I was thinking about either this or Assassins Creed Origins. This game sounds like a tonne of fun.
Thanks again!

I saw one combat video and it looks pretty bland and boring. Not sure if that’s at the beginning when it just seemed like a one button combat system but it seemed really out dated.

Thanks for the details Bullit- appreciate your insight!

Looks like this game has come a long way.

My buddies and I contemplated picking up a year or so ago on Steam but decided against it. At the time it was buggy and just another "Early Access" under developed game.

In the past 2 days I've been asked about it from a few people, seen it pick up steam here at OS and read a handful of reviews who compared release with now and talked about how much this game has changed for the better.

May be time to give this another serious look.
