Outside of the initial crowd funding campaign, I don't see anywhere where they have mentioned you can buy ingame credits... I have a feeling the 10k or 50k worth of credits people got from the crowdfunding will get them very far at all in the actual game.  Atleast not to a point where they would gain an unfair advantage over someone else.

Maybe you can, but considering the game isn't much more than a concept at the moment its hard to tell what you'll be able to get from paying real money.

The odd thing about the complaints about the class system...

Hasn't blizzard spent the last 8 years in WoW effectively making all their classes the same? In the beginning tanks were tanks, dps were dps, healers were healers. The game was very much cookie cutter.

Then the 8 years of forum spam happened, "Why cant a priest do as much DPS as a mage?", "Why cant a warrior DPS like a rogue", "I take too much damage", "My paladin/druid isn't as good as a pure dps/healer/tank class), wah, wah, wah! If you play the game now, all classes can deal equal dps, hybrids heal as well as dedicated healers, tanks can dps as good as dedicated dps classes, effectively they've been blended together and made the same.

If you took any notes; you would have come to the same conclusion as NCSoft did, people think they "want" the cookie cutters, but in reality they really want to be able to do everything as well as everyone else. Its the idea people have been whining to blizzard about for almost a decade, now they complain when NCSoft runs with that idea.

You really can't win in the gaming industry, people will complain regardless of what you attempt to do, its impossible to appease the masses. Personally I'd say GW2 is well worth the money, its a good game in its own right and its really the first good attempt at breaking the MMO mold that blizzard cast 8 years ago. The questing system (or lack of) is a novel idea, one of the major advantages is you no longer have to keep track of your individual quests, you can always come back later and complete them. If your friend logs in you don't have to worry about whether or not someone is missing quests, because they're area specific.

Some people will like it, others won't, I think its a step in the right direction.

Loving this game right now, I've never played either of the fallout's before this.

I was just happy there's a PC game being released that I won't have to boycott due to DRM. Unfortunately Far Cry 2 falls under that list so I won't be bothering with it. I hope fallout will keep me occupied until another worthy game enters the PC market.

Ah well, this game is clean and as such I'm more than willing to go out and buy it. I'll post a review once I get further in ...

My personal favorite at the moment is Rainbow Six: Vegas, good all around game, fun to play online and offline.

 

If you've played the earlier C&C's you'll love C&C3, also a great game
