Guild wars 2


Now this is not a complete review of the game Guild Wars 2 as it isn't out and I have not played it in any of its expos on the gaming scene all I can go from is all the information already released by Guild Wars 2 which is quite a bit.

Things I look forward to:

• A dynamic, interactive gaming experience. Your choices and actions have a real effect on the world around you.
Will the besieged villagers fight off the rampaging centaur horde or succumb to the attack? You decide!

• Personalized storylines. Guild Wars 2 is YOUR story. Follow your own customized quest storyline as it evolves from choices
you made at the beginning of the game.

• New depths of character customization. You choose from eight powerful professions and from five races— the defiant humans,
the feline charr, the unearthly sylvari, the mighty norn, or the ingenious asura.

• A n innovative combat system. Featuring amazing skills, combos, improvisational tactics, and environmental weapons,
the Guild Wars 2 combat system puts the fun back in MMO battles.

• Intense player vs. player action. Take up arms in epic world vs. world warfare or test your skills against other players
in PvP arenas.

• A rich, fully realized fantasy world. Developed over the past five years, the vast and incredibly detailed world of Tyria has
been brought to life by an award-winning art and development team.

To start with there are many features and content layers to guild wars 2. I will be talking about the combat the weapons, persistent world content races and professions(classes).I will be talking about combat in this post.

Combat: now from what has been show the combat system has loads of pluses and very few draw backs. I do warn I am a bit of a graphic nutter so don't judge me.

Pluses- there are many pluses such as:
  1. smooth responsive combat
  2. very graphical and great to watch special moves in action. portrays that you have hit your exponential and has caused damage such ass added grphic effect from bleeds and such.
  3. clear and painterly illustrated moves with no glitches from what has been shown.
Draw back:
  1. The graphic system overlays less important moves making it hard to see a heal with other more graphically taxing moves going on.

Weapons: there are a large range of weapons which most classes can wield. they hav
e allowed different classes to wield a multitude of weapons pure brilliance. For instance a warrior which in many games only has melee weapons can pick up a bow and start to range. I know what your thinking totally awsome right!.

There are 15 different weapons in which to chose from but each race can only wield around 2-4 different weapons.

Here are some you tube links to show you what each race can wield and what each weapon skills allow in the skill bar. There is still one more profession to be released so unfortunately i cannot show you anything on that.
