to put it simply, kratos is more badass.. woot

ok.. wat hazel sed

like:

-hench system (they may be retarded, but at least they can act as a diversion etc.)

-coherent mission sytem (like ur pointed to the right direction right after u complete a mission, u dont wander around aimlessly like in other MMO's looking for the next zone to grind in..)

-the game is not based on ur equipment (u dont need uber equipment to actually stand a chance in pvp cuz armor modifiers are minimal and the armor values are approriate for each class..)

-running (not literally, i mean the running where u can actually take people {or urself} to a later part in the game without having to do the quest to get there.. which means u can get end game armor at an earlier time in the game, if u have the money that is.. though they pretty much nerfed running after prophecies, GW still has it in some areas.. except that now u need faction to buy armors making running almost useless except in prophecies)

-skill sytem (i like how they made it so u only have 8 skills at any given time , it pressures u to make the right decisions for ur current role.. and especially the dual classess system which allows u to have 2 proffs at the same time..)

-pvp (all i can say is, the pvp in the game is really balanced and fun..)

-pve only skills (more powerful skills than ur standard stuff, but can only be used in pve.. which means u wont die as easily as u used to in pve thnx to the said skills, while pvp will still keep its balanced state..)

-heroes (the upgraded versions of the hench.. the coolest things about them is that u can directly control their actions and equip their weapons and armor)

-free2play (as long as u buy the game, u can play it free forever.. probably a major factor, if not, the most imortant factor for the game's success..)

dislike:

-community (at times its great, at times it suks.. so many people running around major cities w/out clothing and dancing in the middle of towns having disgusting conversations with complete strangers who may not be who they say they are..)

-pick up groups (they suck IMO, except the rare batch of eggs that aint rotten, im just glad that my bro is addicted to GW as much as I am so i wont have to bring a complete set of mindless henchies..)

-henchies (theyre both a good and bad thing, theyre just the last resort, the completely last resort..)

-bossess in eye of the north (theyre so hard to beat by urself, its virtually impossible to beat the game w/out the help of a party. Especially the last mission.. henches just stand in the lava pits waiting to burn.. heroes are not an exception either.. they still wont try to look for dry ground..)

Overall, likes and dislikes fall under preference and GW is a mighty swell game for me even with my dislikes..

edit:

forgot to add how beautiful the graphics look :D and how end game greens are so over priced :(
