It's not a trilogy if there are four of them...

"The trilogy of games includes the original Guild Wars as well as Factions, Nightfall and the final installment of Eye of the North."

I count four sir, not three!

 3 main games, Eotn is an expansion not a stand alone game

When is this "Gamertube" crap going to get a HQ option?

He also forget that the UI does include the effects monitor, skill monitor, the map etc.

Just take a look at http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/UI

Add being able to adjust position and size of these things, and changing the visuals of them with Texmod (even adding stuff like spirit range to the radar etc.), and i don't think there is not going on enough. I prefer it that way compared to having to squeeze 500 skills, weapons and items into 50 slots.

And that stuff about end game content...yeah..

Only enough for 1-2 years? Doesnt this guy do any research before doing a review?

People have been playing pvp, almost on-stop, since the game started. As in, sharing an account with several people and never doing pve on it. Such accounts have not yet completed the entire pvp aspect. Not to mention the PvE area...

Also, due to HardMode, the entire games content is endgame. Once you reach level20 (about 5-6 hours for skilled players) the endgame starts. People play for thousands of hours. Do the math.

Also a shame you didnt reflect on what makes guildwars endgame unique: no weapon/armor/level upgrades. Once you have the best in something, it stays the best forever. No endless upgrades to be sought after, instead people seek after rare skins - what they find good looking enough to been seen in. This gives a massive diversity in armor/weapon usage (not even talking about being able to color your armor) allowing everybody to look unique... if they want to.

Very nice way of reviewing a game, I haven't played GW so I can't comment on the accuracy of the what is said.

I definitely wanna see more video reviews, things which you could improve are Mic quality, and I would have prefered an HD option/button for the video (like youtube), the video looked really crappy at full screen (2560x1440).

I prefer the written reviews.  This review seemed amateurish.  The sound quality and video remix was done poorly and the narrator did not read the script well.  His voice should have been processed.  The script was also poorly written in my opinion.

My wife and I go back to GW from time to time, she really enjoyed having "heroes" you could control and have your own party to explore with. Kind of like old school rpg games.

I think GW has always been a solid game, nto for everyone but GW2 is going to be much different. They are taking what was good about GW 1 and adding many things that were not good and it will be different.

And again if you consider no monthly fee to play, that has kept it alive for a long time and why people go back to it between games etc...

8 is the new 9, and 9 is the new 10. 10 is totally unrealistic.

8.6 for a 6 year old game is equally unrealistic. You are being way too kind, and, im sorry to say, not credible.

I haven't played Guild Wars, because when I tried the trial I just couldn't get into it. However, if you can get 1 - 2 years out of a game, I would say the longevity is at least a 9. 2+ years would definitely be a 10. Most recent MMO's can't remain interesting for over a month let alone a year. And those have subscriptions (which supposedly pay for content updates). A buy to play giving you a year or more of gameplay is amazing, I think.

I would have liked to see the video, however I have third party windows blocked.  Please host your video games on your own server.

From the comments I would say I agree with the final score of 8.6.    I have been playing Guild Wars since Sorrows Furnace was introduced, I still have lots to do.  I still feel that Guild Wars has some of the best graphics of any game (not so sure I like the graphics of Guild Wars 2 way too stylized).

 I agree with you on the assessment of the score, but not for the reason.

I did think the reviewer was being a little too kind.  I've been playing with my friend recently and trying to group with someone is often clunky due to the different districts of cities, no shared quest log or trying to figure out which heroes you're each bringing.  Some things like the camera bug me or just not having an auction house.

The game also has some issues with replayability due to its linear mission structure (though at least you get 4 campaigns total through all content).  Redoing things voluntarily on hard mode for a challenge can be fun, but leveling an alt right after another is painful.

So I'd have been inclined to rate it at least a little lower, maybe an 8.0.

That being said, it is a lot of content for no subscription fee, especially since we've seen the trilogy for on sale as low as $15 (normally $30).  Also, keep in mind what is probably the most amazing thing about GW, which is that the servers NEVER go down, not weekly to patch or for maintenance, not ever.  (They do update, and pretty frequently, they just manage to do it without taking the servers offline).

Compared to a P2P MMO, it's clearly dated and lacking in some of the modern features.  Compare it to a F2P MMO that is possibly filled with gold spammers, lacking in depth, or possibly P2W, GW comes off looking amazing for only a small upfront cost.

GamerTube is our video site, not a third-party.

funny builds ^_^

anyhow

juat about 7k hours on gw.

best game ever.

Awesome! Love the video review... I did buy the GW trilogy pack on steam a few months back but haven't tried it out yet.  Maybe I will have to give it a go for a little while.  Anyways, I have always liked video reviews better than written ones.  I hope these continue!!

Yeah, 6 years has passed and I still play. Love it!

I think what you don't like is the vibrance of the colours. GW1 has a lot more calmer tones than GW2.

Very good review, would really much like to see more of these.

Please change the microphone before doing another review, though :)

Longevity 7.0?  I'm confused.  It's been how long?  and no end-game?  what??!!!

THE ENTIRE GAME IS END-GAME!  The 1-20 leveling system is basically a tutorial.

Lemme say how stupid to review this game. Why not something idk current? This review isn't going to bring in any new players into a game that is almost in Beta stage. Maybe u should find something more useful to do with your time :/
