Can't wait for this game. Played the first one and I'm hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The True Ace Attorney Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 As far as I can see, this is essentially a massive Guild Wars mod. Graphics up, more races, less jobs (that have been revealed as of yet, I doubt that this'll be this case later) and a "customisable" backstory. At the moment, this doesn't seem to be offering much that a MMO's shouldn't have to compete with console RPG's. Customizable area's is essentially a much larger version of Geonet on WKC and I doubt that the backstories can deviate much or affect much past a few side quests and general NPC attitude. However, this isn't exactly straying much from RPG's in general and as long as the game loks and plays good it won't matter. I did like the first Guild Wars though I couldn't get into it. It seemed to take too much effort and team playing to get through. If I want to play a game, even an MMO, I'd like to be able to solo it easily. All I hope for for this game is that it doesn't fail as a sequel, like Fable 2, it has offline mode,which all MMO's need as not everyone has an infinite access to the internet, and that it doesn't fade into the generic MMO category.

Icy Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Liek omg, this game is just like Archlord and a few others with a higher budget and graphics engine and all that stuff. Unique alright. Revolutionizing? No. Just tweaking whatever's there and with a higher budget means more publicity and people. Bah... Game looks great, but far from revolutionary. @Above: You dont get what the >>ONLINE<< part means. If you don't have constant access to the internet or enough time a day, you shouldn't be playing these. Plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The True Ace Attorney Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 You're taking it far too literally. What I'm saying is that even if I can connect to the internet and I enjoy playing with my friends online I still want to be able to play through the game on my own. It's not too much of a stretch for Guild Wars, considering that the only multiplayer part when you're not in a party are the towns. Everywhere else is a world that's specific to your party. I just want to be able to walk into the town and buy some damn armour without being constantly pestered with WTB and WTS's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenrir Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 As Josh said nothing revolutionary, but if they actually keep to what they said they'd do, it'll be an actual quality MMO that I won't have to spend much cash for. That enough is reason for me to get this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
