Zoey or … Global Agenda?

Posted by spiii on July 9th, 2010 @ 19:06

As Ali predicted, here is the long awaited Global Agenda vs Zoey smackdown. You know what that means: time to compare heroines!

Weapon of choice
Recon with ghost sword	Zoey with dual (black) pistols
Mode of transportation
Dropship and jetpacks	Ya gotta hoof it if ya gonna shoot the pilots
Villianess aspirations
Think Tank	The Witch
Most startled by
Scanners	Witches
Dislikes
No Elves in GA	Witches – not anymore!
Best mates
Every Agent is your friend against the Commonwealth	Same ol’ survivors (well, technically Bill died and the other survivors met in passing …)
Best in lego
FAIL! There is no GA lego, despite Hi-Rez artist Rick Ruiz stating it is his preferred medium.	Lego Zoey
Most colourful
A riot of colour in raids	Pretty dim in these smoky sewers
Best cosplay
Assault agent makes an appearance at E3	Guys in drag
Who’s got the moves
Getting jiggy with it!	Not those kinds of moves Zoey!

Conclusion

So is Global Agenda worth your dosh? (What is dosh anyway?) Does it matter since you all bought it anyway? Is it worth playing? If being able to tell your mates “yeah, I danced a merry jig on that Switchblade’s grave!!” is as important to you as it is to me, then yes!

Fumbles may have been mildly offended in the writing of this post.

Global Agenda is now 100% subscription free

Posted by spiii on June 25th, 2010 @ 18:28

From twitter. Global Agenda is now 100% subscription free. Soak it up: http://tinyurl.com/gasubfree

Now we purchasers can play all of it for as long as we like. No fear of it becoming locked when subs are brought in.

Future content will be sold as expansion packs. But we get the rest of sandstorm free first.

Nice. I think. MMO without the sub. AvA anyone?

ps: GTA was the first MMO.

Global Agenda 1.3A

Posted by spiii on May 9th, 2010 @ 02:22

The first patch for “sandstorm” (aka Global Agenda 1.3) has landed on the public test server. I had a run. Unfortunately requires a new low level character so only level 5 med. Gameplay feels the same. Some UI has changed. If I had to sum it up in two pictures, it would be these:

Yes, cybercuts is open with new hairstyles and a second hair colour!

New UI for equipping stuff, and a new “handsfree” jetpack uses the jump key without requiring switching. The old school jetpack is still available. Additionally a “combat jetpack” can be bought that allows firing while flying.

Importantly, /jig is still the same, and now it announces to everyone “spiii starts to dance” — sweet!

In sad news, HiRez have stated High and Max PvE will require a subscription (though subscription content should be free for a month after the patch drops). Pretty sure when I paid for the game PvE was supposed to always be free … there’s a lot of negative reaction to that announcement, might be they’ll change their mind.

If not, well, the bus stop in The Ballad of Gay Tony might just be greater then /jig anyway!!
