Guild Wars 2 ... Looks Awesome!

Greetings,

I liked the first Guild Wars quite a bit, but I also despised a great number of things about it. Among them was the instanced gameworld and the terrible animations. Well, I have been following Guild Wars 2 for quite some time, and I must say that it looks absolutely amazing. Like, very, very good, as to the point where it may be one of the greatest games ever.

This is a gameplay demo at PAX 2010 for people who have not seen it yet. This shows the character creation screen, fluid animations and the awesome looking combat, partly thanks to the physics engine they are implementing. Here is another video showing the Ranger profession, world map, obvious removal of invisible walls, some insane animations and combat, and the ability to finally jump and swim. They also said that everything in the game is supposed to be voiced, including all of the quest dialogue - something about how their script is equal to 60 full-featured films.

This is their main website with a pretty awesome teaser trailer.

I usually do not hype games very much unless they are coming from certain sources. As an example, I am fairly certain that Diablo III will be amazing, just because it is being developed by Blizzard.

Anyways, I was wondering what people thought about the game so far? Did you like the first Guild Wars? If no or yes, what do you think about the second?

There were so many things I hated about the first one. Quite disappointing, actually.

I loved the first one and will love the second one even more.

Can't wait for this game!!!!!

guildwars2 is on the top of my hype list too. i, too, don't like to hype games, but this one could really be something.Kh1ndjal

Game looks awesome, and I have no problem paying for some awesome dungeons. The game is worth it. People pay **** tons of money for 2 maps on shooter games. I rather spend my money on well constructed dungeons to raid and get some loot :D

Guild Wars 2 is the only game I'm looking forward to right now; nothing else matters! :x

Can't wait for this game!!!!!

yes , i hate to wait the game...

Well, I purchased Guild Wars day one so the graphics and animations were not dated to me then. Present day, it's really dated now but I had a lot of fun while it lasted. Guild Wars 2 seems to have taken a giant step forward and may become the best-looking MMO to date. As far as gameplay goes, we'll have to wait and see. But if the first one was any constellation, GW2 will be a big hit.

Personally, I think GW graphics hold up fine today

Well the 1 issue i see with this game is actually a big one.

10 skills, first 5 are determined by your weapon, 6th is your designated self heal slot, and your 10th is your designated elite skill slot. that leaves 3 skills which you can choose at your will. WTF?

What i can learn from this is that Every sincle charr axe/shield warrior will have basically the exact same skill set. that is just complete BS, i do hope this dosent make it into the final game. im also surprised there isnt more people mad about this, i mean making new builds was half the fun in GW.

im so hype for guildwars 2 im having withdraws from not playing it yet

Oh my, that PAX video got me more excited than I already was.
