Aparrently someone has not done much in fact finding. Take a look around and see how many RPG's there are out there then post on which ones rip the ohers off. Yes there will be similiarities between them. COming up with something new is hard and the old formula's that have been used in the past still work now. Having played a rather large number of RPG's through the years, I would like to see something new myself. But digitizing yourself and actualy going into a game-world at this time is quite impossible. Just enjoy the game for what it is, FUN.

I think that the real reason is, that someone got their ass spanked in pvp.

HAHA! Condor San is an immigrant troll! Traveling from forum to forum getting people all riled up about GW. Honestly man, you can compare hundreds and hundreds of games to eachother and call them rip-offs of eachother, when frankly, they HAPPEN to look similar, and HAPPEN to have various other similarties like music composer (which in itself is the most moronic proof to say a game is a ripoff of another).

The fact remains, different companies, different people means even if a game looks completely alike, the gameplay, game dynamics, game physics, game design and damn near EVERY other feature will be different from eachother...

You my friend might as well scream at the guy that classified Oranges and Apples as DIFFERENT (zOMG) fruits. And then you can provide the proof that they are the same fruit cause they are both ROUND! WOW, stupid? Very much so, and that my friend is how you sound. Sorry its the truth.

LOL!!! cheers.

Yeah, it sure is! I remember first thinking to myself "Wow, I get to watch my character fight NPCs controlled completely by his AI, and have a Donkey NPC which has a ton of storage follow me around, and don't have to worry about pesky things like attribute placement because the game will do all of that for me"! But wait, that wasn't what I thought before Guild Wars came out, it was what I thought before Dungeon Siege came out, which is of course a Diablo rip off if anything is. Except for the whole skill alotment concept, which Dungeon Siege forwent in favor of increasing attributes by using them. And of course Diablo is a ripoff of me, it is in fact my life story, I go around slaying the minions of hell and various undead and Blizzard obviously stole my story and put it into their game.

So, Guild Wars is to Dungeon Siege as Diablo is to my life story. That is to say, they have very little in common besides the delusions of madmen.

Judging by that screenshot, Dungeon siege looks more like age of empires 3 than Guild wars

lol of course I play GW, played it since ob/cb when Skill Charms was widely used, or the famous event where NON able to find a counter to Warrior monk aka the Paladin which noobs keep making post on GW fansite forum saying they're overpower.
I only got Prophecy, knowing Faction would be a dissapointment and Nightfall is no different than Prophecies clone (like the starter beginning newbie map, it just facing the opposite direction from Prophecy) GW is to boring for my taste imho)

BTW This post isn't about hurting GW fanboi feelings. my bad if you feel that way.

anway.. gonna go back to BF2142 a real PVP games. Or dungeon siege 2 if i wanna do some exciting PVE stuff lol. This feel great getting off my chest

Every RPG is a rip off of every previous RPG...

They just change/add some features and rename some classes.

But the same "ripoff" argument can be said about anything.

I realized this when i played Dungeon Siege 2 last night (which was 10x better then GW in single player mode with interesting story modes that use 99% professional voice acting, sophisticate obedient henchmens, kick ass casting animation with cool effect that has this gruesome fatality animation to each mob you slain.)

Heres the proof that GuildWars is a rip off from Dungeon Siege series. or AM I mistaken?

OMG, I read the two bolded reasons and started laughing my ass off. I bought the deluxe edition of Dungeon Siege 2 on a whim the other week, only because it was $30. If you love micro-management then I guess it has a great AI... I had to change the run line to get it to run in anything higher than 1024x768 because it looked horrible on my widescreen LCD that does 1440x900. Then there was the fact that the game is so stupid it couldn't recognize I had a GeForce 7600GS w/512mb of vram in my system. I had to go and force all the particle effects to work using the nvidia tools and even then the game still looks like crap!

Oh one more things... OMG a game with gibs. It's not like I haven't been watching things explode into large amounts of gibs since Quake. Personally when I watch someone swing a sword through a mob and it explodes I'm really disappointed. I would make rather see the two halves fall apart!

If you have been playing Guild Wars since Open Beta, then you would know that these two games have almost nothing in common except for that they have songs from the same music composer.

And also, isn't Dungeon Seige more of a hack-and-slash game?
If you want to complain, please go complain to one of the walls around you because no one wants to hear it.
