Actually, no I don't

If graphics were never updated, then we would still be playing MUDs or 2d games.

lol :p
people are weird....they like to pretend they are true gamers and say graphics dont matter at all..when in reality..they do matter allot...

---

Why do you think we pretend? Because you cant believe that someone would disagree with you? Rather arrogant wouldnt you say? Graphics may matter to the majority of kiddies and non serious pc gamers out there but there are some of us who really really really just dont hardly give two shits as to how a game looks as long as the gameplay is good. That is the single biggest problem with games these days, they are all eye candy and no substance. And that is why i will always be happy to play old games i know are good than new ones which look 'better' but suck.
Now im not saying graphics dont matter completley, as i wouldnt really want to be playing a game that involves just dots on a screen but i would much rather play a new, for example, fps with the graphics of half life 1 than i would a bad fps with top of the range graphics these days. I used to play (and still do occasionally) Quake 3 and i got to a quite competitive level and was pretty good and i have still yet to play an fps thats come anywhere near close since its release so why in the hell would i want to play a newer game just because the graphics are a lot better? If anything, youre the one who sounds like a non serious pc gamer who is swayed by the flashy lights blinking in your eyes.

---

if a new game comes out with crappy graphics... ( i mean like vanguard) then i will not play it. if a game uses an older graphics engine and uses it well i will hold nothing against it and still play...as long as it is made well...

like i said...i still play 2D rpg for hours on end...
FFV is one of my fav games of all time..and i never get tiered of it...

poor u

Not captivated like other MMO's, profit wise it might be a success given the amount of ppl who play MMO's today and are interested in trying something new (thus making profit sells) but if it can captivate then your not going to see anything remarkable. A contender for lotro at best.
Really hoping that WAR can captivate and keep me plugged in, I dont want to be watching t.v. after playing it for 15 min.

.... .... .... So you basically played through a few mins of the noob area and hated the game? Yes ... well you probably won't find any MMOs then since Every game I've ever played MMO wise ..the Noob Area was kinda boring especially if you already know how to play MMOS.
WAR Fans & AoC Fans do not listen to the troll reply to the troll or talk to the troll move along please..we do not want anymore wars & fights between us due to ill concieved "this is ultimate fail" posts despite how most people that have been waiting for AoC are enjoying it.
Move along nothing to see here.

what she said

---

Yeah...to bad the first 15 min makes a huge difference.

---

have you ever played an mmo?
or did you even read about the game before buying it...
the areas of level 1-20 are a basic tutorial of gameplay...its nothing like the actual game

---

That's all I need really is a tutorial of how things work. I found myself skipping through the quest cinematics due to utter boredom and corny-ness. But hey if it floats your boat..great..but it just seems sub-par to me. Sorry.

---

so what mmo so u like then.... all mmo are corny

no one i guess

So, I've played GW on and off since it was released. Looking for a new game and came across Age of Conan.
My question is: What am I getting with Age of Conan that I'm not getting with Guild Wars? I generally enjoy PvE more that PvP. I'd prefer if onbly people who have played both GW and AoC would comment.
Thanks in advance!

both games are totally different pizza

yes it will play AOC maxed no problem

And, who the hell cares if WoW is better or if AoC is better. Just play the game that you like. This thread reminds me of two rival high school cheerleading teams poking fun with each other and not seeing the imperfections within their own squad.

I think you misunderstood me....i just found it funny...and wanted to share it with the world

Why does everyone assume just because a game has lots of people playing it that it's the top MMO? Lots of people have STD's, doesn't mean its better to have them. I don't care how many millions play Conan, I enjoy the game play. I enjoyed Ultima for years and it had terrible numbers compared to WoW. It was also light years ahead of WoW in my opinion, just my opinion. So yeah, I played |WoW and loved it, but its time to move on for me, with or without the masses, to a game I'm enjoying more right now.

THERE IS NO FIRST CONAN GAME

AOC IS THE FIRST

AoC even thou it got lot of players hasn't caught up with as much as Wow if you look at xfire and so on (300k active players in US compared to 2 mill for Wow). However if GW 2 and War all live up to their hype i think they can probably bring down its active player base by half atleast in the states.

you can run all games maxed out on this rig

And you can buy this rig from BestBuy right now for $1099 that is comparable to your rig.

I just bought my son one over the weekend and its a terrific deal. Oh yeah, and they have them on the shelf, you just walk out, plug it in and are good to go.
Biggest weakness is the power supply (400w) but it can easily be swapped out if you need to one day.

the ram and 8800 are no way near as powerful as my pc2-6400 and my 3870x2...but for that price thats is a damn good pc

I of course recommend you building one yourself off of newegg.com (always the cheapest option)...

But if you don't want to get your hands dirty, this is a great option from Cyberpower.
http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Infinity_SLI_Ultra/

If you plan on overclocking, move down to the Q6700 processor, and buy an aftermarket heatsink.
You should also definitely get a soundcard for that PC, even a cheap X-fi will sound way better than onboard sound.

dam...q6700 went down in price...i remember it cost double the q6600 for 0.2 extra ghz

what...what first conan?
AOC is the first

look at this post...just makes me laugh

Ok This is a relased photo of AoC, I have added some bits to it to point out the faults

http://img230.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ageofconan2008042000481lq9.jpg

1. Very very bad action bars, if you want to call it those. It is worst then a free MMO. Seriously

2. The graphics..... Are not that good I have seen much better!

3. Obviously there are no raids or hardcore PvP, becouse it will be inpossible to raid with that group UI and those health bars

4. I have read somewere that the game takes a BEAST of a computer to play at an acceptable FPS, weather this is true or not it another thing but I for one think its belivable

Overall there better be a damn good PvP/Raid system and the classes better be 100% balenced, becouse I personaly could not play a game with that sort of UI.....

If you want a game go play Generic Free MMO #10347 Becouse it is better then this excuse of a game

The only reason they have developed this is get money from everyone that goes out and buys it on the first day thinking it will be the best, Then they will give up on it and keep the money, A similer thing happened with Fury, if you remember it

And to all posts here saying "Lol its only in beta u must be a fan boi" and "They will fix this, this is only beta"

The game is 1 Month away from releasing. They cannot completly redesign the UI, and fix the effects and graphics problems in 1 month, The game will ship like this. Blizzard has nothing to worry about

The End
