Book Reviews of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Official Strategy Guide (Bradygames Official Strategy Guides)
Book Review: Total crap.
Summary: 1 Stars
Luckily I only paid $5-6 (shipping included) for a brand new copy of this pile of crap game. First off, the game itself, when it was actually up and running, was somewhat entertaining but got old very fast.
The main problems I had with this game were the following:
1- Installation was a nightmare. I installed this on two machines, both well within the recommended system specs and it took FOREVER to install. On one machine the patcher just kept crashing over and over and I ended up just copying the files from the good install over my home network to the other machine which finally made it playable.
2- Crashes. Once I finally had the game installed, patched and running it crashed within the first 15 minutes of gameplay. I updated all drivers (video, directx, etc) and it crashed again 20 more minutes into gameplay. So far I have yet to make it more than 30 minutes on either system without this game crashing.
3- Video problems. After installing AOC I noticed severe video problems on OTHER games I had installed on my system, which I ended up having to reinstall to fix the problems with those games. Now however, AOC will go completely black and I have to crank up the low res. view distance setting to adjust the game to anything but high on all settings. Apparently this is a known issue that many users are having. :P
The only good thing I can say about this pile of crap game is that the community in the game was very friendly and super helpful, I never saw one bit of negativity at all, which is rare in an MMO.
Had this game actually stayed long running long enough on EITHER of my systems I might have gotten past level 20 and seen another side to this game.
Overall though I would recommend avoiding this one altogether and not wasting your time or hard drive space on it.
