Let's Play Rift Videos - decide if it's for you

[Sambonz]

Hi All,

For those of you not quite sure if you're willing to take the plunge and purchase Rift, I've started a new series of my 'Lets Play' gameplay and commentary video episodes to help you see what the game's like and if it's for you. (In a similar vein to my DC Universe Online, Bulletstorm, and Saint's Row 2 Let's Play series..)

Hope it helps =)

Part 2 of my 'Let's Play' gameplay and commentary in the new MMO, Rift, by Trion.

In this episode we meet up with our good friend Romanova (playing his character 'Tallahassee' here). He helps us as we walk through some more features of the game and the UI, and we spend some time looking at the amazing 'Soul Tree' feature (Talent Tree) as we explore the various options available for my class (Mage).

We all play Rift for one reason or another.
But we all know the real reason Tallahassee (Romanova) plays, right?

Honestly, you are possibly the best onlooker for this games' mechanics. You've covered mostly all of the game's basic mechanics and its fundamentals. Much better than any Rift video bloggers out there.

Kudos to you!

Part 8 of my 'Let's Play' gameplay and commentary in the new MMO, Rift, by Trion.

In this episode we head to the Sanguine Shores to fight our way through some Maelforge Embers and recover some relics, and I try out my skill at some Butchering (skinning) while Tallahassee tests his mining pick on some mineral nodes. I gain two new skills: 'Ground of Power' (+10% DMG dealt and +10% DMG received) plus 'Burning Shield' (absorbs DMG), and we discover a warrior trainer with MMO-obligatory bikini armor.
