News Comments > Guild Wars 2 Interview

Yeah, it's funny. I played GW on and off for 2 years, yet when I think back on my time, it's mostly the negatives that spring to mind...

I feel a bit the same way, but it's probably because I played the game so much. Spending that much time with a game will make it's flaws apparent--I think there's more to be said by the fact that I played for so long (right around 1000 hours IIRC).

I know I'll be pre-ordering GW2 the minute I can.

Will they finally implement an auction house?

Wow. That's so familiar I just had flashbacks. I think every GW player has said that at least once.

Dear lord, it's becoming a whole page.

Still, I like. I know it doesn't really fit with the flow of the site, but what about actually giving the sales section it's own subpage with a link posted whenever updates hit? My guess is that this section is going to continue to grow over time, and it's likely to become a bit cumbersome on the main page.

Yeah, it's a shame I already own most of them. I've recently become hopelessly addicted to Titan Quest--I picked it up along with the expansion through Impulse awhile back and just recently got around to playing it. Now I can't stop.

As for what the 8800GT can't handle, eh, it can handle most games fine, but it could definitely be faster in some games. (Fallout / Oblivion, which I still play frequently) and it's an extra level of FSAA etc.

No problem. My 4870 did quite well with Fallout--I ran at 1920*1080 with everything cranked right up iirc. It also runs Plants vs Zombies quite well.

Hmm, it's about time to update my 8800GT. Anyone here with a 4850-4890? How are they behaving in games? Lots of problems? Stable drivers? Great speeds?

Moved from an 8800GT to a 4870 back in February. It's been rock solid, excellent drivers, and it left my 8800GT in the dust. It runs a bit hot for my taste (Everest is reporting temps of 54 GPU, 74 Memory and 60 Shader, all Celsius at idle). I'd be a bit worried except they've been like that from day one, with no overclock, and I have excellent cooling.

I'll probably grab a card out of the 5800 series when I can find a decent sale. I've preferred my ATI card to the last two Nvidia cards (8800GT and 7950GX2) especially with respect to drivers, but YMMV.

I like the format. Bonus points for including yesterday's stuff too.

Yeah, I'm all over this one. Maybe I'll reinstall GW at some point just for some fun.

Well apparently something finally changed on ATI's end; I can finally download the drivers from their page with Firefox instead of getting the invalid referrer BS.

What are these 'boxes' that you people speak of?


Though Steam has been pissing me off lately and Impulse hasn't been far behind. I may actually end up buying this the old-fashioned way.

I was a huge RO fan when it was a UT2004 mod, but I started to drift away as the vehicular stuff became more common. I'll still be keeping an eye on this though.

Impulse has been running the same deal for Red Faction for awhile now, though 1 and 2 aren't yet available to play. I'm guessing it's because they won't charge for Guerrilla until it's released.

3. G500 Aug 6, 2009, 16:57 Bucky
 
Logitech finally did what I've long wanted: stuffed the G9 tech into the G5 housing. I have both and prefer the G9 in every way except for the shape, which is a rather large problem--it's also why the G9 has been shelved for a long time. Looks like they moved the scroll wheel mode switch to the top (thank god) and shrunk the side buttons down a bit. I'll be all over this one the day of release.


Maybe I'll replace my original G15 too....it's started to get a little flaky on me. Dunno if I'll jump on another G-series keyboard though.

For some reason this game slipped way under my radar--now that all the pre-launch hype is hitting full force I've finally noticed it. I'm actually quite interested and may pick it up on day one, but it probably helps that I don't have any issue at all with the art style.

I like the less-consolidated format. A LOT. It's awesome work. Kudos Blue!

Bucky: Does it have hardware EAX support? No software emulation.

I'm almost positive it can do hardware EAX up to 2.0, and then software emulation a few more notches up. I could be wrong though, the ability to enable EAX might be provided by the software. To be honest I stopped paying attention once I switched over to Vista, and that was awhile ago.

Friends don't let friends buy Creative!

QFT. I've been running an Asus Xonar DX for awhile now and I love it. Far better sound quality than the onboard solution and it's not made by Creative.

Serious Sam 2 was a serious misstep - how could Croteam screw the Serious Sam formula up so badly?

Consolitis.

As long as it plays like Serious Sam (Both parts) and not SS2 I'm happy. I can still remember the feeling the Serious Sam 2 demo gave me--it was not pleasant.
