Darkfall Online Re-review

After a public spat with Aventurine over their devastating review of Darkfall Online, Eurogamer has ponied up a re-review of the unforgiving fantasy MMORPG. The 4/10 score is two points higher, but they're still not recommending it by any stretch of the imagination:
At the moment, I don't think there are many who will put up with Darkfall's madness. I certainly won't. I hope Darkfall grows and becomes a game which can take its charms and appeal to a wider audience (EVE wasn't EVE when it launched, for example - it began with fine ideas that appealed to a niche, and as they improved the game it sold its ideas to an ever-larger niche). Darkfall's just launched in the US and its expansion has gone live, after all. But as a game, it's just not there yet, its rewards too distant and the road there too barren to recommend to fellow travellers.
