Is ANYONE else sick of reviews? *and other Anet mishaps* - Guild Wars Forums

OoooOOo!

Another news message on the Guildwars site...

Oh nevermind, just another 12 reviews by stupid gaming sites that nobodies ever ever ever heard from! Has anyone EVER read any of those reviews past maybe, the first 5?! Does anyone care? Is anyone going to read 100 reviews, and THEN say "OK Ill buy it." because www.gamerz-in-my-mommas-basement-.uk said it was the pick of the year?!

NO - *Note to Arena Net - We don't CARE*

Oh and another thing - Has anyone else noticed that this game had the SMALLEST manual of all time - and without player supported websites like this one that noone would be able to figure out anything!?

Who knew you couldnt sell your armor to another person when the first played? Noone - the manual surely didn't tell you.

What kind of a game supports conditions and hexes, and doesn't tell you ANYWHERE in the documentation what they DO!? I remember seeing, causes weakness, and thinking - Well whoopi-de-do what does that mean!? Same thing with Deep Wound and some others...

It's amazing how UNSUPPORTED the game is and yet so succesful. Just think that if these sites didn't exist, the Guild Wars world would be much more difficult.

Don't get me wrong - for funs sake, I don't want to download all the different maps and keys to the Missions - but honestly, we should know a little more about salvaging and materials and what runes do (who knew they didnt stack? Not in the manual..) and all that crap. There are NO in game tutorials for these things.

A good idea would be to have a Pre Searing mission where you need to find X common material to create some piece of armor for yourself and before you can go through the Rurik mission you have to put a rune on it.... that would give us an idea on how all that crap works...

Anyone else feel the same way!?

I agree, after the main sites, IGN, Gamespy, Gamespot, and xplay, i could care less about these other reviews, i have played the game Anet, i dont need to see others opinions on it, since i know it already, mabye instead of useless reviews, mabye they could tell us What they are doing!

Umm.... I got a lore-book plus the manual in the guild wars package... and the award for the SMALLEST manual of all time has to go to Half-Life 2, that got 1 freaking page with the controls listing on it, and didn't even have a PDF or online manual...
