| Guild Wars: Review @ FiringSquad |
|
"Boring" is the verdict on 'Guild Wars' at FiringSquad in their <a href="http://www.firingsquad.com/features/guild_wars_rant/" target="_blank">review</a>. Here's the intro:<blockquote><em>Let me pre-empt all the flames right now: I don’t dislike Guild Wars. I don’t think it’s a bad game, based on a distant look at it, and I don’t make fun of people who like it.
<br>
<br>However, with that out of the way, I must say that I absolutely, 100%, do not get the appeal of it. Sure, it’s a free “MMO”. The technology behind it is excellent – servers are never down, content streams automatically, and performance is completely beyond reproach. The financial concept is bold and commendable – you pay for the game and play on ArenaNet’s servers for free, while they work on expansions that you will hopefully buy. In purely technical terms, the gameplay is an interesting combination of action, RPG and multiplayer shooter elements.
<br>
<br>For all that, I find it boring.</em></blockquote> |

Someone didn't play the game much did he 
No shots past Ascalon, no skills from quests in the Ascalon area.
Anyway I agree that GW has its problems, getting wiped at the end of a mission and having to redo the while thing instead of ressing inside is annoying. But thats frustration not boredom  And PLEASE get going on a LFG tool. This isn't '99, its '05 shouting for groups is no fun. |
