Guild Wars Double

[Razor]

Don't tell me I'm the only one on Charas playing it?

[Cerebus]

Well, thanks to my Windows being in French, it seems like I can't see anything regarding the North American version of the game because it leads me to the French page. You know, the Europe French.
And there isn't even any language/region option, or at least I sure can't find it. Stupid that this forces me to look at the French page. Guess they want us all Frenchies to be out of their American servers.
Didn't know this was out, though. French page says August 28th, but I'm assuming that's only for Europe or something, then.

Edit: Oh wait, just saw that you could play 3 days before if you pre-ordered it. Still, not going to bother with the French page. I'm not from Europe.
Until they care about me, I won't care about them. And they probably don't care anyway. Dammit!

I HAVE NO MONEY FOR AWESOME THINGS

Also my computer sucks.
This whole "jobless" thing kind of blows.

[Archem]

I'm not big on MMOs, so I don't care.

[Bluhman]

People here have a phobia of MMOs. I thought you knew this.

[Prpl_Mage]

Not sure how I feel about the game yet, only seen um... cinematic battles and such so far. Not so much of the actual game play.
Might be good. Don't yet know. My money is on Borderlands 2 though.
And yes, not released in EU yet.

[fruckert]

My money's definitely on Borderlands 2 being the thing I'm going to play until the ends of time.
Or until I get epic level, which ever comes first.

Also, Torchlight 2.

Also also, I really do seriously want to play this, but there's those little barriers I mentioned before.

I HAVE NO MONEY FOR AWESOME THINGS

Ditto.

Also, Torchlight 2.

Torchlight is just a poor man's Diablo. XD


If someone wants to give me a free copy of Guild Wars, sure, I'll play it.

I see it more like "Diablo is a more expensive Hack and Slash on which you can spend real money for in-game advantages despite the fact that the game costs $60+ already".

As for the language thing, guess I could try to set things up... but to be honest, I don't really care. I won't screw up all of my thing for one game that doesn't even have language/region options on their site.

We can no longer be friends.

Wait, what? What in-game advantages? I've been playing the game forever and I haven't spent a dime. I haven't even SEEN any credit card slots. O_O

On the subject of Diablo however, **** DRM! At it's core it's a single-player experience, ****ing greedy fuckmongers.

We can no longer be friends.

The in-game auction house where you can spend real money for rare items. I mean, sure, it's not exactly the same as "We sell gear better than end games one!" but it's still paying for better items. It's lame.

[greenraven]

Ok, I must be completely stupid or something. I keep hearing about being able to spend real world money in the auction house (you're not the first person to mention that), but I've only ever seen gold transactions. What the hell am I doing wrong? O_O

[Cerebus]

Nothing, you're actually doing everything right. F*ck the real money auction house.

Blizzard isn't selling anything and there is nothing you have to spend real money on to get your hands on. Everything drops in the game but if you're a lazy bum and rather burn 100$ on a legendary crossbow that's between you and your wife sonny.
The action house got just as many items and you can buy those for gold. You farm the gold and you can buy items in case you're a lazy bum and for some reason don't want to play the game.

In the auction house, top right corner. Click the button to swap between gold and real money auctions. But you'll need a credit card. And only rich people can afford the ridiculous amounts some people expect to get. '

So Razorman, what are the ups and pros of GW2 and what are battles actually like?
