So,after playing HG:L I realised..

How ****ing amazing Guild Wars is for having no monthly crap.

Good graphics, a non shitty story, some grind = .

Thanks ANet, lolz.

That is all >_>

Is this portion referring to Hellgate or GW?

Guild Wars ^_^. I'm basically just ranting how bad HG is,and how leet GW can be.

Well when you look on the back of the box it shows a picture of a character shooting a gun..immediate turnoff.

Heh,I actually didn't mind the guns. Just the beginning didn't draw me in at all. Played for about an hour before I decided its not worth it.

I liked the FPS mechanics. Pretty cool seeing that integrated into an RPG. Mass Effect did that well too. Neither did so with the quality of a real shooter, but they are RPG games primarily so I don't really hold it against them.

HG:L got pretty boring pretty fast though.

Ah, I just picked up mass effect.

That games amazing. =o

There've been a lot of games like that. Check out Deus Ex and System Shock (preferably System Shock 2) for some old-school first-person role-playing.

I own both of those. Great games, but I wasn't really a big fan of the shooting. Not sure what precisely what I didn't like about it, but it just didn't feel right. V:TM - Bloodlines was similar (although also an excellent game).

I liked the old fashioned hectic run and gun style of HG:L and the guns were pretty interesting/diverse. As for Mass Effect, I'm sucker for Gears-style cover-based gameplay. Sure, it wasn't entirely necessary to use in ME, but I did it anyways because it was more fun.

Bioshock = System Shock 3

Mass Effect, definitely executed FPS-RPG extremly well.

Not really. Bioshock is steampunk, System Shock was cyberpunk. It's a spiritual successor, but it's not a sequel by any means.

Bioshock also hardly had any rpg elements whatsoever -.-
It was alright. I didn't find all it's praise to be warranted, but I did really like the artistic direction. Plasmids were pretty cool too - reminded me of Undying (which unlike Jericho, does NOT suck!).

I think you got it backwards.
The absence of a fee isn't a bonus - the presence of one is a minus!


Did anyone try Puzzle Quest btw?
Freakishly addictive!
I can't believe I am going to say this - but I am currently griding my ass off in a puzzle game and I LOVE IT!

Yeah i too realize how good of a game GW is when i try other mmorpgs x_x

They need to make a online rpg version of portal.
I bet developers heads would explode trying to balance that thing.

BTW, Mass effect was neat.
I normally am not a fan of tactical fps combat, but it was neat having an rpg twist to it.

I think the RPG elements of Bioshock were the ability to upgrate weapons, plasmids, swap plasmids, etc. As well as you know, figuring out which plasmids from the different categories that you wanted to go with for the given situation.

I got the same feeling with Vanguard, CoH, WoW, Lineage II, Exteel, and DDO.

Guild Wars has made my parents worry about me more than anything else

Holy smokes Batman!
Can you just imagine the possibilities!
The warrior rushes to you - you shoot a hole under him and one on the on some rock far far far away and then you just go "buh-bye now!".
That should be a mesmer elite!

Note to self; Get orange box.

You must not have played many decent rpgs if you think GW has a non shitty story. lmao. It's an incoherent mess. Not knocking the game itself, but let's be honest, the story is a joke.
