Guild Wars 2
A full 250 years after the original Guild Wars, massive upheavals, cataclysms, and globe-spanning events have changed the world of Tyria. Human civilization is in decline. Other races are rising up, taking control over large portions of the world; the balance of power has shifted. The dragons have awoken.

you never run out of things to do i did not take up with this game at first but after i started to understand what i was suppose to do it really is flawless the graphics are not dissapointing even though you can play it with amds intergrated graphics the music is great it is a flash back to the old one a lot of the classic stuff you can use from the old one if you have played the old one and did a good bit in it you pick from 5 races human-char-asura-sylvari- and norn i was a bit upset they did not put the dwarf in the game when the dwarf was a big part of the story in the 1st one professions is huntsman and cooking they is more but those are the 2 i picked the classes is warrior-engineer-thief-ranger-guardian-necro-mesmer- and ele not did any pvp yet but they is always something to do in the pve world they is a lot to take in on this game worth the money pick it up if you like mmorpgs such as wow even if you did not like the first one much which at times i didnt this one is still worth your attention they may offer a trial for the game just remember that hearts on the map and events are your outside quests a long with your main quest and you get xp for everything almost even chopping wood and mining and harvesting the only thing i would have liked to seen that is not their i do not think is fishing but not sure on that if you are into mmorpgs pick up this gw2

OK I'm not going to go into detail about gameplay or graphics, but I will say that this game has every kind of awesome you would want in a game. If you are a PVPer or RPGer, or if you love challenging dungeons or World PvP, this game has it. It is gorgeous and deserves all the hype. Let me tell you this as I finish, this game is not easy and takes some learning, but is extremely rewarding when you kill a boss. Anyways, great game and I can't stop playing.

I've been a huge fan of the Guild Wars series since Alpha testing of Guild Wars 1. When they announced Guild Wars 2 a few years ago, I was very excited but kind of worried of what they had changed, but to my surprise the game is amazing. The graphics are great for a MMO, the voice acting is great (with some pretty funny scenes too). The races are amazing and unique, each with their own story lines, with each their own choices. It feels like a MMO world instead of a fetching quest repeat game. The game takes some skill to play and is difficult at first but it gets easier. This game offers a lot of different options to complete quests instead of being a cookie cutter quest line. I highly recommend this game to ANY PC gamer.
Also, forgot to mention, NO MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION! You pay the flat 59.99 and that is it!

I bought the game on the day it launched. It's only been two weeks and I'm completely bored. First of all, there is horrible lag. Secondly, there just isn't that much to do. Compared to WoW, the game seems horribly shallow. You do not feel like you are in an actual world. The storylines that I have played are not very exciting. The races seem to have no differences, except graphically. Gameplay itself really isn't mainstream in my opinion. Bottom line -- very disappointing.

What game are you playing??
Posted 9/13/12
First off, you have horrible lag?? Either your computer is really bad or your internet is really bad. It is running flawlessly on high settings on my mediocre Dell desktop. I also play it on my horrible $300 Compaq laptop that I bought a few years ago for school...(there is some lag on the laptop obviously but ive been playing on it fine). Secondly, nothing to do? There stuff to do EVERYWHERE! Hearts quests, world events everywhere, complex crafting, PvP, WvW, Storyline quests...dude, open your eyes!!! Third, I will admit that the storylines aren't as good as SWTOR, but they do keep my interest. Forth, there are no differences in the races? A Charr and a Norn are HUGE. The human is normal sized, the Sylvari are slightly smaller and the Asura are small. Have you compared sizes at all or are you really THAT blind?? Have you tried platforming with a Charr compared to an Asura for a Vista point?? HUGE DIFFERENCE..and yes, platforming skills are needed at some points of this game believe it or not. While were on the subject, each CLASS has different abilities for each weapon and the play style is 100% different for each class. But, your right about one thing: Gameplay is not mainstream. This is why the game is so great! Go run back to your Pandas at WoW and keep playing the same thing you have been playing for the past 8 years. I will be enjoying a fresh, new, innovative game that keeps me occupied for hours!

You and your friends couldn't take two seconds to say "Hey dude, you got the game? Cool, I'm on Henge of Denravi, make sure to choose that server." That's pretty sad.

I really wanted to like Guild Wars, I really did. The graphics are beautiful and I was so hyped on getting this game. Unfortunately, the game just did not live up to my expectations. Maybe I was asking for too much, but I just did not have fun playing this game. Leveling was boring and repetitive, and while some of the voice acting was good, other times it was really laughable. The graphics are excellent, but the races themselves aren't very interesting. I liked the idea of the Sylvari, but after hearing them talk, it sort of took some of the magic away. My favorite has to be the Asura, the animations are hilarious and well done. Unfortunately though, this isn't enough to bring the whole game over. As far as free to play (minus the disc purchase) games go, this is a good choice, no monthly fees, and it's got a fair amount of content to keep you entertained. For me though, as a long time WoW player, I wanted this game to be the game that convinces me to finally switch over to a new game. Mists of Pandaria, though, has some surprisingly good content that kept me more entertained in the beta than Guild Wars 2 did in the entire game.

Guild Wars 2 was not what i expected, and it took me a little bit to get used to it, but once I got used to it, it turned out to be one of the best games i have ever played! I have no regrets with my purchase of this game. Its given me a new perspective on how MMORPG's should be. but note, it is very different form Guild Wars 1. So don't be thinking that its just and upgraded version of the original Guild Wars. This game is brand new with its own stile. Im going to hit on some of the good and bad points now. The Good. Amazing graphics, truly outstanding with the almost painting like atmosphere that flows every where. Its graphics system is a little like "The Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword," but don't get me wrong, it most certainly does NOT look like a kids game, not in the very least. To get an idea oh how amazing the graphics are, take a look at the picture of my Silvari Elimentist at the bottom. Note, the graphics are not going to surpass "Battlefield 3" or Modern Warfare 3 bye any means, but this is an MMO, so keep that in mind. The Good, out standing gameplay with an engrossing story line. The hole take on the story line is a huge step up from GW1. With an almost painting presentation on the video scenes. And bye that i mean it actually looks like there in a painting with the characters,max of 2, standing out front. This stile of cinematic's works, surprisingly quite well. and with its mixture of in game video scenes, combined with the painting styled ones, really sucks you into the game. The Good, Many Many ways to play. There are so many different ways to play this game. Most of how your story will turn out is depicted on your fist choices when you make your character. but there are also so many dividing points along the way. Such as decisions you must make. like "should we kill the undead that are attacking Lions Arch with an army of Silvari, which has a very high chance of seceding, or should we send out experimental Gollum's that lay down land mines, where there would be no loss of any life, excluding the undead, but there is a greater margin for things to go wrong." Things like this are what really makes the story line interesting and gives the players more control than i've seen in an MMORPG before. The Good. So much more to do then just the story. up till now i've been talking a great deal a bought the story line of GW2, but don't get me wrong on that either. There is so much more in GW2 then just the story line. There are many dungeons, mini dungeons, Forts, Towns, Advents, "which i think is one of the most enjoyable parts of GW2, but ill let you fiend out what those are on your own, in game :)." And the entire "WvW" AKA World Verses World. WvW alone is a game in its self, and is extremely huge and mine blowing. The Good. Much more open then any game i have played before. Theres a new take on how much freedom you should have to walk around in MMORPG's America, and its EPIC! In GW2 there is so much more room to explore now, almost no dividing lines, except a portal every now and again that is used for separating map areas. and there is almost no place where other players cant just come running out of no where to rescue you from a painful demise when you picked a fight with a foe that is a bit to tuff for your level. There are players everywhere, constantly doing something. be it haling apples for a farmer, killing giant worms, stopping a centaur raid on a camp, or just walking around killing defenseless bunny rabbits for the fun of it. GW2 Is a Living, Breathing, Changing, Moving world with almost endless things to do. The Bad. there isn't really that many things wrong with Guild Wars 2 except for, a few glitches, lag, its difficult finding your friends to play with, and again WvW has same huge amounts of lag. other then that though, amazing game. Now stop reading this review and buy the game, if there is any copy's left.

Are there dictionaries in the game?
Posted 9/16/12
Thanks for the review. While the bad comments were mixed in everywhere within your review (not just at the end as promised), it did convince me to try the game out. I wanted to know though if there were dictionaries in the game. I ask because your review is totally sic. Sic means misspellings when it's something that was typed. There are a lot of misspelled words in your review, but that is okay as I understood enough to know the difference between haling apples and hauling them. Thanks!

I have played a lot of MMOs for a long time and this one by far is the best one I have ever played. The fighting system is wonderful. I'm not stuck on one group of spells, skills, or weapons that I have to hit in order for max effectiveness that can get boring. I can change on the fly in combat gaining different abilities and buffs. Every weapon or spell gives me a different set of attacks for both my main and off hand. It very easy flowing. A ranger can call different pets in combat on the fly and change from range to close combat, AOE or one-on-one in a blink of an eye. You have to doge and move and not just stand there hitting buttons. By far the best I have played in that account. And no more fighting over gathering, crafting, looting, or bosses; all are shared by everyone. Bag space is shared by all your toons on your account. The game allows you and encourages players to help other players. You want more people around. Plus everything scales. If you go to a zone that is lower than you your "level" effectiveness is reduced to the top for that zone. You still have all your skills, but the bad guys are not push-overs. The world is forever moving and it feels alive more than any other MMO I have played. Added the no monthly cost and constant up-dates makes this game a winner in my book. You can't get much more value for the money. There is very little time wasting in the game, you want to help other players, and there are all sorts of hidden chests in remote locations for people who like to explore . . . a little something for everyone. And to top it all off there are personal quests that you can do or not, up to you. However, I can see some players getting frustrated because it is a different set up than all other MMOs (for examples there is not "Tank" or "Healer", etc because everyone is everything . . . or stand-and-hit-buttons because you have to move and change weapons or spells in combat), but I find it refreshing. It short, it's not like other MMOs and if you try and play it like the others, you are missing out on a big part of the game. I can go on-and-on, but just play it for yourself, it is for sure worth the $60.00.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers
I was looking foward to the "action combat" What a joke...Pretty much same combat at GW1 with a few extras like dodging (lame) and how you get skills and few other minor details. (Tera is the best for that aspect) After reading all the other reviews on how great the graphics are.. I was very disappointed. pretty close to gw1 and lacking compared to other MMO's (except WoW maybe). Installing the game was a pain the rear end trying to use my old gw1 account info to add serial. But overall it is a fun game and I am enjoying it. I will still continue my sub. to Tera, but GW2 will cut into my time there a little =)
