How will Gamespot rate WAR? Vanguard got a 7.5, Age of Conan got an 8.5, WoW got a 9.5, what will WAR get?

Gamespot will give it a 9.0 or greater, but that doesn't mean the game deserves it. Over time I've become convinced that Gamespot takes payment for "services rendered," and I don't take ANYthing I read there as the "gospel truth."
You wanna know what a game rates? Play it yourself. YOU rate it, for YOU. Gamers need to stop believing what everyone else says about everything and learn to think on their own, learn their own individual likes and dislikes, and play the games that suit them PERSONALLY the best. Who gives a rat's a** what some guy down at Gamespot or anywhere else thinks? Is he/she YOU? No. Can they determine if you will ultimately like a game? No. Okay, well....maybe it they're your twin brother or sister.....and then...only MAYBE. President of The Marvelously Meowhead Fan Club |

Acutally its way better than when WoW first came out so there should be an option between 9.5 and 10. |

yeah honestly the OB is running smother than when WoW took its first steps in retail and this is coming from a person with first hand experience i have the CE to prove it. Anyway. it should get high scores as it is amazingly polished. |

For the truth. Anyone , ANYONE who says wow was better at release than WAR is now is just lieing. I played beta for both and both at release. There is no comparison to the endgame, pvp, abilities, spec, class balance, lag, looting system , questing system ,and all other areas of polish... however, wow was release long ago, where as, expectatiosn are now higher. You can observe this on these very forums. Look at all the people saying there are whatever issues with WAR. Well wow's where 20 time worse but most wow players did not play then.

I respectfully disagree. Perhaps to YOU it's "way better." That doesn't mean that everyone would agree with that, nor should they. I, myself, got tired of seeing mobs that were attacking me, and being unable to attack them, only to see big yellow letters saying "This target is not attackable." WTF?? It's attacking ME.... (Referring to the beloved and FLAWED Warhammer. Yes...flawed, like every single other MMO release. Albeit THIS flaw, got extremely annoying about the 20th time I saw it.) WoW's biggest issue on release, was they were under prepared to the NUMBER of people that were going to swamp the servers all at once. They had ridiculous server down times at first, but the GAMEPLAY was sound. I never saw these pathing issues and bugged mobs to this degree on WoW's release. Granted...no game is perfect out of the chute. I don't hate WAR. I don't love WoW. I'm pretty ambivalent about both right now. They both have good points and bad points and a million different peoples' perspectives as to WHAT THOSE ARE, precisely. Again....Gamespot will give it a high rating. Whether or not it DESERVES it....is a matter of taste, opinion, and personal preference. EDIT: To the above poster. I also played in the beta for both, and WoW had a LOT less gameplay bugs, and a lot WORSE server problems. Whatever. I think your memory might be a bit short, or perhaps you're just one of the many WoW haters that like to say everything is better than WoW. President of The Marvelously Meowhead Fan Club |

Well, since it's EA that publishes it, i am sure it won't get a rating below 85. They have the money for that score T.R. |

There were tons of pathing issues. your simply mad? WoW is polished now but on the opening they didnt have enough servers like u stated but there were tons of bugs and crashes. More than ive had in the WAR open beta. But i agree with the rest of your post to each his own. But seriously were u doing drugs 4 years ago? WoW had tons of bugs and constant patching on the first day of retail. Dear god do you remeber reckoning bomb? or pallys Sunken Temple quest reward sword was BoE with no wep requirements? there were lvl 1s running around with a level 45 blue sword. Anyway. yeah |

I think your memory might be a bit short, or perhaps you're just one of the many WoW haters that like to say everything is better than WoW. Hmm well lets see. Server stability issues, loot lag, stuck in looting possition, some mobs had perma evade, patches sent via bittorrent (massive headaches), missing endgame content, bugged and some even not working at all quests, error code XXXXX crashes left and right for certain setups, I could go on and on but I will try and NOT jog peoples memories as it may be too painful for them. It's a Jeep thing. . .

But that score of 9.4 for AoC killed the game immediatly after the 700K first time buyers. No doubt.

Why the F*** can't gamers learn to think for themselves? I can think for myself just someone already stated what for the most part i was thinking. Sorry if you got insulted but frankly that is the truth. You seem to hate EA or something but its the God's honest truth. WAR is WAY more polished than WoW if they were both going to retail. Also as the post says, that is expected from any MMO (AoC lol) at this point. Sorry but thoes are truths and if you cant face them and say i have no thoughts of my own all i can say is GL in the real world. Anyway. im done with you and this thread. i was trying to have a constructive convo and ur looking to fight mr.boxing kitty. GL with wow and how awesome it is. ill be having fun with WAR atm. Maybe ill see you in WOTLK |

yes i do play it. and i simply run away from bugging mobs like i do in WoW. there is no difference. do you play WAR in the open beta? have you seen the how far they have come? Anyway. GL to all of you. but why not bash WAR on the wow forums as normal? this is all trolling and i fucking love WoW but most of these posts against WAR are bold faced lies. The pathing is currently no different that mobs bugging in wow. It happens more often in WAR? yes. But WoW has been out for 4 years...Gl to you all. |
