[Game] What game(s) are you waiting for?

[Shepkoval]

The races in GW2 still represent the fantasy archetypes. If people don't like the look and they would rather have the Tolkien races, well, there's always LotRO, which had to go f2p despite people liking the cookie cutter races so much.
Tengu would have been cool, I agree on that. Centaurs not so much and dwarves weren't playable in GW1. They were also boring. Personal opinion.

I don't know where you got the impression that GW2 will be anything like WoW. From what I've seen in the previews quite the contrary. I won't elaborate, your opinion on that seems final. Whatever.

As for gameplay, I'm actually glad they scrapped the two professions for one character system. I guess they did it because it was hardly balanced and half of the combinations didn't make sense in endgame/PvP. If that's the 'essence' of GW1, well, **** it, it didn't work.

I will be majorly pissed though if they don't confirm mesmers as the last class.

Open, uninstanced world with mob spawns designed to be played alone and forced builds.

It did work for me and many others, if its hard to balance, then they should stop being lazy asses and work harder. I'm really having a hard time trying to see whats left from Guild Wars in this Guild Wars 2, and what it offers than other MMO haven't done before.

It may be cool as an MMO for a lot of people, no doubt, but as I said, they should NOT call it Guild Wars, since this one wasn't even an MMO, it was a COORPG.

They are kinda confirmed.

Good thing I never bothered with MMORPGs. Except for Age of Conan because it had nice graphics(as opposed to the general sucky mmorpg graphics), a more action-oriented combat system and interesting mythology/settings/exotic locations. If I have to stick with a game for a long period it should at least look good or have a huge focus on characters because otherwise I find it hard to give a ****. And I don't see the lack of that(hell in most RPGs characters aren't even voiced) replaced by running around with a bunch of sweaty 25year old nerds or chinese gold farmer slaves in group instances. Doesn't exactly give me the social experience you'd expect from a RPG.

WoW invented... you know where this is going.
Playing alone? Play with friends, find a guild.
Forced builds? GW1 had forced classes. Try finding a PUG for an endgame dungeon as Paragon, Mesmer, Ritualist or Ranger who isn't playing a trapper build.

It may be cool as an MMO for a lot of people, no doubt, but as I said, they should NOT call it Guild Wars, since this one wasn't even an MMO, it was a COORPG.

Hairsplitting.

They are kinda confirmed.

Not officially.

Guild Wars (the original) has nothing to do with the concept you describe there, as I said, is not even an MMO, but GW2 on the other hand...

WoW invented... you know where this is going.

No, wow did not invented it, and I never said that, however, WoW is still the major representative of the MMO genre, so I name WoW as the example.

Not officially.

Thats why I said "kinda".

Hairsplitting.

You are really starting to sound like those extremely annoying fanboys in Guild Wars guru.

 

[DraKon2k]

Well no subscription fee was definitely something it had going for it, yet I never played it much(it was gifted to me few years ago).

 

[Shepkoval]

You are really starting to sound like those extremely annoying fanboys in Guild Wars guru.

Well and you sounded like an extremely ignorant naysayer right from the beginning. Why even bring up games you are NOT excited for in this thread. Can't you rant in the MW3 thread like everyone else?

lol ignorant? I probably know more about the game than you.

And no, I'm not gonna mess with MW3 cause I never looked forward to it in the first place.

 

[Shepkoval]

I don't think so, buddy. Use your energy for some productive next time. Peace out.

Wow, downvotes for calling you out? Get a life, nerd.

 

[Fedorov]

Wow, downvotes for calling you out? Get a life, nerd.

What makes you think I'm downvoting?

You have already 3 downvotes, so If I am downvoting, then AT LEAST two more people found your comments baseless and stupid.

Besides, writing a comment about being downvoted is more nerdy than actually doing so (it takes more effort) so maybe you should tell that to yourself.

 

[DraKon2k]

Nah, it's just that certain people have nerd-fangroups who think they're backing each other up by downvoting the opponents.

 

[The Masta]

ITT: people calling each other nerds

 

[DraKon2k]

Nope, just giving a hint of reality. Say something against one of the radical we-are-bitter-individuals-and-spend-all-our-free-time-on-hating-everything faction and you can prepare to have your post downvoted.

Pro tip: who gives a ****

 

[Murphy]

I don't think so, buddy. Use your energy for some productive next time. Peace out.

I'm one of the downvotes.
Not because you attacked my buddy Fed, but because calling someone buddy like you did is unnecessarily patronizing. You also don't get to say what's productive and what isn't and one post earlier you yourself were fruitlessly arguing in the same unproductive hell-hole of opinionated douches we all came to love. So not only is the energy comment highly hypocritical, it has no meaning, and it's a hack thing to say.

And no, you weren't calling anybody out with that brilliant piece of cutting edge commentry... You engaged in a discussion with who seems like an expert on the topic, you lost, and then you made it patronizing and personal.

Don't get me wrong, I love when that happens. I thrive on drama. But I reserve the right to downvote anyway. Because I'm a nerd. And I'm stuck in the 90s, apparently, were he whole nerd thing was still relevant.

 

[DraKon2k]

Well he has every right to do so. This thread is about what games people can't wait to play and the first thing Federov does is write a list of future games that in his opinion are going to suck. That's sad and while it doesn't have to make him look like a nerd it certainly doesn't throw a good light on him.

GRID 2? When did they announce that?

short time after the release of Dirt 2 they said they where going to make GRID 2 and Dirt 3. and GRID 2 was suppose to release late 2011. but they had to extend the releaze on GRID2 that to late 2012 or early 2013 because of Dirt 3

 

[Shepkoval]

He lost his tampon because a developer doesn't revolve around his self-entitled opinion on what type of races are OK to include in their game. He also plays MMOs for the lore. That makes him an expert alright. On the topic

Spoiler!

of nerdology.

I said what I was waiting for, and what I could have been waiting for in different circumstances and why. Its just your friend here who, like you, seems to be hurt when someone doesn't like the same things as him, and have real reasons for it, deep down he knows I'm right, and that's why he is pissed, maybe I'm affecting his future enjoyment of the game by making him see the truth, who knows.

The funny thing is that I'm not even saying that the game is going to suck, I'm just saying that the sequel has nothing to do with the original, and if you want to play an MMO, thats perfect for me, it does look like its gonna be a fine MMO, but thats NOT what I'm looking for, I was looking for a proper sequel, at least a game in the same genre, and this one, is not.

I also said that my main gripe was the dumbing down of the gameplay, but you just decided to ignore that, and no, I didn't play an MMO in Guild Wars, I played a COORPG, and for more than 2500 hours, I don't know you, but I think that kinda qualifies me to talk about it. Not to mention reading every single blog post and interview on Guild wars 2 until the summer of 2010, which is when I stopped caring.

So I'm sorry for expecting the sequel to be in the same genre as the game I spent so many hours of my life in, and not jumping into the MMO bandwagon.

ArmA 3 - I'll see how this turns out.

Iron Front Liberation 1944 - Maybe since they are different devs they fixed some of the annoying things with ArmA that BI seems to miss?

Mass Effect 3 - Doubt I'll get it at launch due to Origin.

BF3 - Any price drops? Not likely, but I can hope.

X Universe - I could not get into X3 TC, but this looks to have been changed a lot.

IL-2 Cliffs of Dover - Looks like the bugs are fixed, I just have to wait for a price drop.

Pokemon Emerald - Waiting for it to arrive.

FYI~ I just downloaded Cliffs over Dover for $12.49 at "Just Flight".

Steam downloaded a ton of patches, including new sounds. Pretty good...

Nope, if I think about it you're pretty much the only one who annoys me because of constant *****ing(well maybe Stormer as well, but he's an obvious troll) about almost everything everywhere. Other members actually know how to present their views in a non-everybody-else-is-a-retard way, you appearantly don't and are even proud of it.
