Since this is a chit-chat forum, I felt it was ok for me to ask this question.. If not please forgive me.

Anyone else excited about Guild Wars release this weekend?

Of course this is just my own opinion but...

I think a dev team would have to try really, really hard to make a combat system more boring than it is in GuidWars. I got bored in about 2 hours.

Flush! There goes $39.99

Looks like I'll be playing Splinter Cell for a while.

The PC Version graphics were jaw dropping on my computer.
I have the eVA 6800 Ultra, with 2G of ram and AMD 3500+ and I can't play with everything maxed out at 1600x1200.

Not sure how it looks on XBOX but on my computer it's blowing me away.

Spliter Cell ROXXORS!!!! Its the only quasi-military game i'll ever play, and enjoy. Haven't played much of Pandora Tomorrow (the 2nd one) but it is NICE

It doesn't look quite as good on XBOX, but the limitations of the display on a tv screen makes it so you really don't notice. It just looks like the whole game is run through a slight blur filter - which might be nicer sometimes

I am having a blast with guild wars. I have been waiting for a new diablo like game. And it gives me something cheap to play when I need a break from EQ2

hehe, try playing Sacred sometime, when it's on the 10 dollar rack

That game has so many hacks and cheats that the tiny devteam just can't keep up with them.

For example, you can get these items that absorb a percentage of damage done to you, and turn that damage into gold in your inventory. (don't ask me why such an item would even be put into a game, it's only asking for abuse) People could stack these items, so dupers would simply dupe them until they had 100% damage absorbtion, and then go to the PvP servers and be invincible - level 5 guys kicking level 40 guys butts.

Guild Wars can't be that bad

Or maybe it can..
