Roleplaying – Ye Olde LFG Following in the footsteps of its older brothers, GWEN fails to induce much roleplaying. The story is there, but they break in to it with immersion killing real world references once again. I still have yet to run in to another player who was roleplaying anything other than a stripper. “LOLZ – WTB life for u, stoopid nub rper, lol11!!!!11” |
| A lot of the new skills are available for purchase, and to be honest they didn't do much for me. |

But hey! Here's a plot ripped straight from the pages of The Lord of the Rings! The Dwarves and Asura dug too deep, and now evil is creeping up from the depths! But this time, it's not a Balrog, it's...uh...Destroyers! Yeah, Destroyers, that's it. Oh, and look! A Hall of Monuments, where you'll be able to display your achievements and get bonuses from them, in GUILD WARS 2! |
| This is the first Guild Wars release that I would recommend you skip unless you really need something to play until GW2 is released. |

I love the way he faults GW for not making you play with other people, right after admitting that the biggest flaw in the roleplaying experience is the mere EXISTENCE of other players. I agree. All MMORPGs would be more immersive without all the other people. If immersion is what you're looking for, turn off chat, hang out in international zones, or go play a singleplayer game. |

Hello Options Panel which lets you maximize your graphics to make GW:EN look truely amazing. Right... because there are so many RP'rs in all MMO games. Right why would you want to pick up some PvE skills and the most overpowered skills in the game? Random ramblings about how everything is a rip-off and the HoM was put in simply to keep people busy certainly seems to discredit the reviewer. Right because the HoM won't let you access rare stuff in GW2 or anything. Even though some of the content is crap this is the most important guild wars release if you plan on playing GW2. Really though. You can't expect much from a review of an MMO. There's so much to do in an MMO and I'm willing to bet the reviewer has spent under 100 hours playing. Obviously a hardcore players review would tend to be much more accurate (or maybe even biased) than someone who has barely touched the game. So take the review with a grain of salt. Even still the reviewer was nice enough to give it an 8 something =/ |

What's New? Honestly? Not much. GWEN ships with a little over 150 new skills, which breaks down to about 10 new skills per class plus some shared skills. It also features 40 new armor sets and 10 new heroes. There are, of course, new weapons and items, but – like the 40 new armor sets – they are all mostly cosmetic upgrades. |

Could someone who has actually played GWEN and not just browsed forums and watched the preview write a review? |

| But after playing The Lord of the Rings Online and Hellgate: London and checking out the upcoming Age of Conan, GWEN just doesn't make my eyeballs pop like prior GW releases. |
