So It might be a bad idea to check out one of these two games as the seem to both have come out in int eh last month of so. And both don't require a subscription.


    Fury is looking VERY good to me.
    Yeah, but will they have level caps so you can easily play as a casual gamer instead of having to log in every day just to keep up with the masses? D=
    Fury has bo level cap, or well levels. I think Hellgates is 60 or someting.

    The first is no good to me for a few reasons - it's PvP focused and quite frankly I'm a load of crap at PvP. It's got no level cap, as you pointed out. Lastly, all the reviews I've seen so far have been crap. The latter has a subscription charge which is a little offputting (well, it has a free option but you don't get much out of it) and a high level cap means that we can't really do it for casual gaming and would probably get left behind by any friends who play the game consistently.

    Reckon I'm still sticking with Guild Wars for now - at least until GW2 comes out. But I have all month to figure out if I even have the money to spend so we'll see. D= I have to buy a flat in the next two months which will be interesting as it is.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    It's really not like GW is going to die off immediately with the release of GW2. There'll be plenty of people that'll stick to it for a while, enough to make it a worthwhile purchase.

    Definitely a GW candidate. I hate playing it on my own, but it's great to do a quest or two with a RL friend.

    WCIII is very micromanagement based, which could very well be why she wouldn't mind. I can think of WC as having a massive multitude of maps to play, with DotA being a popular hero based variant; it's like a full run of WoW every hour. If you wanted to make your own maps, it shouldn't be too hard (if only there weren't so many options).

    I approve of this. All in opposition are failures.

    Ah, I know what you could do! Unless, of course, posting about roms and emulators is against forum rules. If so, then, well, get Metal Slug Anthology for the PS2. It's very similar to Contra, has really good level variety, and has 6 short games (and an edited version of one of those 6) in one. It's pretty groovy, if you ask me. It also has co-op.

    Oh. I was going to say Kirby (Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby Super Star are good games that you can play two player and work together), Secret of Mana, Super Smash Bros. or Bomberman. I think Bomberman still might be a possibility for you.

    I'm guessing that you're not the kind of person that would play any of those games though.

    They say they will continue with updates and events "as long as people still want to play Guild Wars"

    Meh, they haven't even started coding GW2 yet. It's just a concept so far. You still have at least a good year and a half of playing time. Considering the fact that GW:EN just came out, it's a good bet.

    So what you're saying is you don't want to play any of the three major online gaming genres at all?

    People keep saying GW but really it's like a sports game with RPG elements tacked onto it. Once you get past the campaign (which admittedly take a while) it gets boring fast, when you end up grinding PvP rather than PvE. You may want to try an RTS, maybe something like Warcraft 3, for which there are oddles of custom maps (infact custom maps are more common in WC3 than the standard set). If you get bored of that then I don't know what else to suggest. I may say you've been overtly picky on this issue.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    with 4 story lines to do I think it would be a long while before they ranoout of stuff to do. I've been playing for 2 1/2 years and have yet to beat everything and go everywhere.

    Likewise here. It's a huge game, though I do agree that it's kind of like a sports game. I think the big point about GW, in contrast to other MMOs, is that it actually encourages thinking and puts your tactical abilities above the amount of time you've spent in-game. In other words, if you're into grinding, you're better with WoW or FFXI. If you're into strategy and above all teamwork, try GW.

    If you guys enjoy Warcraft III well enough, try out Command and Conquer 3. That is some fast, furious RTS action right there, and it's not so complex that it takes weeks to master.

    yeah that's what I love about it. I'm not a grinder so it's perfect for me.
