Looks ok to me. I picked up the box today at EB Games and checked it out. I don't think I could return to WoW after playing GW2 but I'm sure it will bring new people in and make existing people happy. I find metacritic useful sometimes but in this c…
Were you interested in this game before it came out? Why? Why not?:
I played the original Guild Wars a bit, and I loved some of the artwork previews I saw of the game leading up to release.
Do you currently play this game?:
Yes, I currently play…
Interesting perspective. I joined a guild very early on. We have 172 players and we chat on Mumble all the time. I usually log into voice chat before I start the game client up. I've also made lots of friends just by sending out party invites with p…
I always enjoy your reviews Bill. I have a few annoyances with GW2 lately, many of which relate to WvW and the TP, but I love the game overall and you can't fault the progress with which Anet is squashing bugs.
Look if you really want to get WvW d…
Up until last night I would have said "No, it must be your gfx card." I do a lot of WvW and it's only just started happening to me. I have a Nvidia GTX 590, SSD, i7, 16 GB ram (most of which is useless) etc., and shadows turned down and the game ha…
There is not a lot of map channel chat on our server although I am Australian and so play in a time zone that's going to be quieter anyway. GW2 is a pretty action intensive game and VoIP is so much better that I logon to that everytime I get online …
It's interesting that people laugh at Metacritic when the Industry cleary understands it's influence in decision making by consumers. The opinion of it here on MMORPG is not particularly realistic from many of the posts I have read in this thread. I…

Like I've said before, I agree with #1 completely. No flying mounts, and maybe no terribly fast speeds, but the aesthetic would be wonderful for such a big world. I mean come on, there are no horses or camels or anythin…

Anyway OP, I mostly agree with you. Just logged off from playing for four hours straight which is something I haven't done in a game in a long while. I've played MMO's going back to EQ, and I do feel…

$60 to play it and you still call it free? Nobody considers games with microtransactio…

Well, there's currently a thread with 150 posts in it, stating that GW2 gets tedious and boring, with many people in the thread agreeing. I wouldn't of thought a "masterpiece" would do that..

Originally posted by Impmon No offense but you liked the game enough to power through to 80th level for some reason expecting to experience the end game in a brand new game the first week it came out. You know what that reminds me of ? The movie M…
