The Secret World is set in a supernatural version of our modern-day world, where mythological monsters and Lovecraftian horrors are all too real. One of the big selling points is that some puzzles require actual thought, perhaps sending you off to your browser to translate an ancient language or hunt down some obscure references.

So, are you playing it? Do you plan to? What are you most excited about in The Secret World?

      Played the betas and the early access... while I love the vibe, atmosphere and story, there are certain design decisions that make me wanna scream... namely the quest system of paused quests only being able to unpause by tracking back to the original quest giver if you even remember where they were, etc... quests in the field are tiny little icons that you may not ever see because they're so small... little things like that add up to quick frustration... also, NVIDIA needs to get on the ball and come out with an SLI profile because this game is brutal on a system... I have a 690 and at 2560 I get anywhere from 20-65FPS

      That was actually a pretty cool trailer and I keep seeming to hear more good things about this game than bad. I don't really play MMO's anymore but this has me slightly interested.
