Will Guild Wars 2 Evolve MMO's?

Guild Wars 2 might just be the new MMO many of us have been waiting for. Will it take WoW's throne? Doubt it, but it rightfully should, if it turns out as good as it looks so far. Either way, it's a definite leap in the right direction.

[Xfanboy]

yup!

[Persistantthug]

But I'm really hoping it will be on Consoles so I can play the game on the PS3.

That will totally make things awesome for me. :)

[Lightsaber]

doesnt sound like anything new to me DDO had real time combat and dodge (well block) and that game flopped big time

Ive played it. It's a typical MMO disguised as something different.

[Kalowest]

I don't know abouy all of that, but GW2 sure does look wicked.

[OtakuRockU]

I'm excited the new direction more MMO's are going in, making them more like action games.

[FanboyPunisher]

Guildwars 2

Good year ahead, beta's of each will decided whos going to hold the new crown.

[Merivigian]

I still think GW2 will be better than SWTOR

[nightmarz29]

I totally agree. the new Star Wars MMO just doesn't look as good for how much hype it's been getting imo.

[Spinal]

Totally agree, Im a fan of KOTOR and Bioware but the gameplay of SWTOR has nothing on Guild Wars 2 to be honest from what i've seen.

I'm looking forward to Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 3. SWTOR can only provide a filler at this point til i see improvements in gameplay.

[DeadlyFire]

Free to play vs. Pay to play. There will be a big battle for Guild Wars 2 vs. TOR. I am betting on Guild Wars 2 to take the lead and keep it. I love Star Wars, but I don't know about TOR. I want to try it, but I doubt I would keep it if I did. Guild Wars 2 on the other hand I wouldn't worry about it if I didn't play it much. I have no fee to worry about.

[Gamehard]

This is the best looking upcoming MMO!

[Letros]

I played it at Gamescom, it's pretty awesome, a huge step up from GW, it actually took the "best online game" award there too, just wish we'd get a beta soon.

[Panthers]

Is this free to play? I do not like that at all with MMOs. But otherwise looks great.

[VenomProject]

Guild Wars (the first one, plus all expansions) is free to play!

Guild Wars 2 will also be free to play! I <3 ArenaNet.

[Baka-akaB]

dont mislead him . it's not truly free to play (hence why it's actually very good) .

You buy the original game and it's subscription free .
Most f2p are just crap , and now often try to sell you items and stuff

[VenomProject]

I meant free to play as in no subscription fees.

Of course you have to pay for the actual game, duh.

[Baka-akaB]

duh ? it's the only one doing that , or one of the only few .

So yeah the precision is kinda needed .

[soundslike]

f2p = perfect world, battlefield heroes

you wouldn't call call of duty f2p

leave it to WoW to make people act like 50 bucks is free

[Merivigian]

You buy the game once and play free forever, I spent almost 500 hours in GW1 playing all of the expansions it truly was fun. GW2 looks so innovative it's crazy.

[Redempteur]

guild wars is one of the few multiplayer game that can change things in the MMo genre.

[lightcz]

mmm ectoplasm 7k each.. who wants to buy it?

[bviperz]

Looking forward to GW2. I prefer the realistic look of Guild Wars vs the cartoony look of WoW.

[Arnagrim]

I've played the original GW since the beginning, and absolutely love it. I've beat all 4 campaigns on my Ranger/Mesmer The Final Hero. Though the PvE is nothing amazing, the PvP is the best out there at the moment. However, GW2 seems to be removing all the things I loved about Guild Wars 1 even going so far as restructuring the PvP because people complained the original was "too complex" with its skill point distribution, equipment and builds. They also appear to have added a healing skill to each class for some reason which mitigates the effectiveness of Monks which apparently may not make it into the game. This stuff plus the "downed mode" ( http://www.guildwars2.com/e... make this game sound like it was catered for casuals who can't play an online game. Seriously, "Defeat in Guild Wars 2 is intended to be an experience, not a punishment." what kind of garbage is that?

[jneul]

I wanna know how much i will have to upgrade my pc to play on gw2, i may go on the site and find out because it looks so sweet, wish it was coming to ps3, because then i would not have to worry

[Letros]

Current specs?

[Neo Nugget]

I'll be buying this for sure.

If the demo at PAX is anything to go by, this game with be fantastic.

[aPerson]

I'm not a huge fan of MMO's, but this looks pretty damn fun!

[R_aVe_N]

I hope so since FFXIV FAILED so badly. Those where the only two MMO games I was even considering playing. I really enjoyed the first so lets hope they step it up and bring something even more fun.
