Yep the only thing that's 'Asian' in Guild Wars are the graphics you should have seen the original demo it looked just like Warcraft..

This title is targerted to gamers who like to PvP and PvE. The fact that it also appeals to women is just a bonus. XD That's like asking if EQ2 is targeted to women because they have a high population of females over there. Not really that's just how it worked out.

 I agree, it does look very femish

But that's how I think a lot of Asian culture is, the hair cuts that a lot of guys have, the clothes that alot of them wear, etc etc.

But yeah, as a self respecting, testosterone filled, man, I don't care for the graphics at all.

Oh, and it's an entirely instanced game - do not want

every asian game is like that.... guild wars..etc..etc..etc..

just the way they design their games

 

When did guildwars become asian? It is made by the same team that made Warcraft 3, and they are americans.

True but I suspect that it has some asian influence. The characters leaping up and floating in order to attack or cast comes to mind.

Probably why I like it so much.

Not sure if any of this helps.

Oh, in "that" case...

I'm going to lose all credibility here, but I have to share this one...

Sorry for the title of this video, it's not of my making and it's not exactly what I'm implying. Perhaps the poster who said the game was quite 'Metro' had the right wording.

This is worth a little laugh anyway if not just for the music they laid over the top for added effect.

Again I'll say the graphics are really great, the animation looks smooth, there seem to be lots of people around and I'm sure Aion will enjoy every success.

OMG I laughed so hard when I saw that! Thanks Sovrath, and the graphics are so realistic... What class is this guy?

I'm extremely disturbed by this image for some reason.... What is it?

lol, you are welcome ; )

The last one is an actual player in Aion.

You can make your character however you'd like. One of the many strengths of the game!

I live in SE Asia and young 'fashionable' guys do have some similar haircuts that I've seen in some of these screenshots and many of the male pop idols here are in fact quite feminine in appearance which, I assume appeals to the fans, most of whom are female.

This has been beaten to the ground already- No it's not.

Sovrath!  I thought we agreed you wouldn't post my picture on the internet if I emailed it to you!

XD

that baby demon looking character is creepy looking haha

and that fat dude with the cross necklace looks gangster yo!

I would like to say also, that four pages in and this has been a fun thread.

Any other game forum with a post about something similar to this and I'd have been torn to shreds I think.

Kudos to the Aion community!

psh, i'm sure someone got a warning, things on mmorpg are getting real tight, the slightest "shit talk" is an offense these days

Perhaps you should read up on ancient asian philosophers for an indication as to what asians think are "beautiful" today, vs the west. The following is just a snippet from Lao Tzu:

"Be aware of your masculine nature;
But by keeping the feminine way,
You shall be to the world like a canyon,
Where the Virtue eternal abides,
And go back to become as a child."

Thoughts like this is where your babyfaced "feminen" men are preferred to rampaging and wild hulks, like the west adores. This kind of philosophy has not only endured over the last 3k years in asia, but is actually seeing a modern resurgence as they rediscover their roots.

Now if only the west could have an interest in rediscovering our roots...

Asian games are mostly that girly. I really dont like the look of  "men" in those games..

I like this ^_^ I've never liked very masculine steak and potatoes hair on mah chest manly men. I cringe whenever I've been hit on by one. My husband is sorta metro but whithout the big city ego. The above Lao Tzu quote really reminds me of him and his nature.

"I agree the game is cool graphically but teh wings are really femmy and there truely is no point in having them besides letting players glid around."

wings play an intergral part in the higher levels, plus some quests require you to use them....play the game before posting something like this....

Think of the wings as your flying mount that you don't magically "summon" out of your tiny backpack. Same mechanics, but better immersion.

I guess this one was a bit lost on me, I eat house bricks and drink gasoline. My hobbies include bear wrestling and chopping down trees with my bare hands!
