Have you guys played Guild Wars 2, how is it?

I want to buy it but I've never played any MMO's before.

I'm currently playing it. Right now xD

It's an easy mmo to play, with a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot of content and the leveling/mission system isn't just "go there and kill that guy".

For example, if you're walking to another area you can find real time events, such as defend diligences or collect items.

It really feels like the world is alive.

499 US DOLLARS

I'll laugh, honestly

I wish it was 499$ and a beast. Fuck compromises. :/

WHAT! I don't think I can live without these two. :(

Who's going to play Vidal's role? Pogba Marchisio? I doubt anyone can adequately replace the Chilean whirlwind of tackles.

It's just what some newspapers are saying might happen. Knowing Conte, we'll probably have to wait until november/december to see someone new make it in the starting XI.

How big can your party be? Can I play with you :lol

The game looks interesting but as I've never played MMO's before I don't know how they work :lol I think I'm just going to buy it and see how it goes.
Is it possible to play Guild Wars 2 as a single player or is it exclusively MMO?

Now this is also relevant to my interests.

The best part of GW2 is that, no, you don't. You don't take anything away from other players when you gather materials, or kill creatures, or do quests. In fact, many of the events require that players band together loosely to complete an event. You don't need to physically group up. You can simply be in the same area, work on the same objective, and you'll all be rewarded accordingly.

You can join whenever, leave whenever, and what you do is not at the whim of the larger group.

I rarely group up unless I do a dungeon (which are instanced areas tuned for 5 players). Otherwise I just wander around, and when I see an event that interests me, I join in. There's no reason not to, after all.

From the gaming side. Sounds cool.

You can do everything solo apart from dungeons. Queueing for WvWvW or sPvP will obviously require you to be social and shit (THE HORROR!) but if you just want to level and explore, can be done 100% solo.

Never played an MMO before so I'm not sure how this goes.

Don't know anyone that plays the game either.

Well no because its a MMO. You wouldn't be able to do the area events by yourself.

The great thing about the game is I've been able to do quite a few events, like protect this person, take back this castle from the enemy, kill this high level enemy without actually either;

Actively looking for the event, I've just stumbled across it.
Actively looking for a group, like a healer, a tank a DPS etc.
or actually communicating with the other players. This maybe because I'm relatively low level at the moment (10).

It's a brilliant game in my eyes. The points of interest and vistas on the map which give you XP and stuff actually make you want to explore the world. I'd highly recommend it.

Hey, stop copying me! That's my situation exactly.

There's apparently a good GAF community on the gaming side if you don't want to play alone.

Bought.

Sorry to hear about your cat, Will. :(

Holy lmao at Joey Barton's Facebook bio.

"One of the finest midfielders in England and followed by over 1.7m people on Twitter."

That's just one line. The rest is just as good.

http://www.facebook.com/joe6barton

"Olympique Marseille midfielder and former Strangeways inmate. ‘Football’s philosopher king’ and ranting anti-celebrity. Loving father and violent thug. Dylan-quoting football revolutionary and Big Issue columnist. Say what you want about Joey Barton… he ain’t easy to nail down is he?"
 
Thanks again guys, means a lot :)

As for the name, my parents let me name her when I was a kid. I guess I had popcorn on my mind at the time :lol

OK GUYS HERE IT IS!

mgs_ground_zeroes.jpg


For those of you who hate mega posts, apologies for this massive bulk of text, ignore and have a lovely day (or post your didn't read gifs haha).

For those of you MENTIONED here do give it a read - at least the parts that mention you!! I hope you guys enjoy it :)

NOTE - this is insanely long because I missed posts from OT2 and OT3, let alone OT4. This feels like one of those Twitter Q&A sessions that I'm about to answer :p

Here. We. Go:

UFCLOL said:
Indeed, hopefully Marin comes back. I think United should involve Shinji a lot more.

This was a response to me! United will definitely involve Shinji a lot more, Sir Alex will likely start him in all the important games. As for Marin, he's getting better, may feature in a week or two hopefully!

LegoArmo said:
Still, not much of a better feeling as a fan than your new signing doing so well straight away. Kagawa and Van Persie scoring yesterday was perfect, and of course, Hazard.

Agreed bro! It's a good time for our new signings, here's hoping they continue to deliver!

Freewheelin’ said:
Wilbury is back home!

I expect him to do a Fady.

That would be most welcome. Wilbury outshines me everytime though, his posts are hilarious haha.

dc89 said:
Animal Crossing, man it's amazing stuff. I can imagine Fady loving Animal Crossing too for some reason haha!

The series seems very cute! I wouldn't mind trying the series out if I didn't have a gazillion games from genres I love to play >_<

Regulus Tera said:
Fuck that, that's the best part of every Clásico.

(This was in response to me saying that we should not argue too much in the aftermath of each classico) It can certainly be fun, but I feel like many of us get too bitter >_> I prefer we all keep on giving each other a group hug :D

Carbonox_Ratchet said:
Cisse's done fuck all for us since that game btw. :lol He's been completely anonymous.

He did score that wonder goal against Ivory Coast though!! But yeah strange that he has not done much since that Chelsea game. The season is still fresh, there is much time for him to do some damage!

Kylehimself said:
Well done to Atlético. Out classed us in every department.

This, alongside the 4-1 drubbing by Liverpool, was the most painful Chelsea game I ever watched.

Kylehimself said:
Ashley Cole &#8207;@TheRealAC3
Wellll that was a lesson, absolute joke no fight, desire, passion, and a big reality check!!!!!! #sorrycfcfans

Indeed.

Glad to see Ashley feeling exactly the same as we did about that game. Does not change much, but it's good to see such honesty.

Kylehimself said:
Football-GAF nearly lost a member about 20 minutes ago. Nasty motorcycle accident avoided by a ball hair.

Oh wow, stay safe bro!! So you are completely fine I hope?

dc89 said:
PR Cat has signed a new long term contract. A huge pay rise and performance related bonuses.

Look out GAF.

HAHA it sure is good to see PR Cat again! Love that nickname haha. It's about time the cat signs a new contract, much deserved!

I loved 3. Need to play 5 still, which is supposed to be fantastic.

(This was about Suikoden) - 3 was indeed a beautiful RPG. You will love 5 - oddly enough, it doesn't visually look as good as 4 (huh...) but the game is quite excellent! Best suikoden story IMO.

(This was about that United game won by Van Persie almost singlehandedly) - some people (this board included) never learn - NEVER comment on a game or boast about it until the FINAL WHISTLE :p Trust me!

Yurt said:
I think I posted about it before, but IMO, Chelsea had no choice. Many of their players were suspended and their strikers are shit.

(This was about Chelsea's CL final performance) THANK YOU YURT. They really did have no choice but to play like that IMO!

Got the job I interviewed for yesterday. Thanks for the well wishes guys! Celebrating with the new XX album

Congrats Sean ^_^ And as for XX, I did hear a song of theirs recently called "Angels" loved it!!

You should play the damn game and not post while doing it. ;)

(This was about Freewheelin' posting while playing Silent Hill 2) AGREED, come on you guys :p When you play single player games focus ;D

Messi said:
How is Meus doing?

Also FAAAAAADY where art thou

I am now here Messi ^_^ Long time indeed!

Fairly short conversation. I feel like someday me and Fady will meet in Barcelona.

That would be most lovely my friend :)! Here's hoping, some day : D

Someone would be molested on the way home. Probably Fady

HAHA!! I wouldn't dare bro :p I'd take you out and get you an RVP United shirt instead.

G%20Garcia%20finds%20a%20running%20partner.ashx

Nice to meet you Javi. They call me The Assassin.

I can't wait to see him play! Best City buy of the summer IMO! Panic buy? I wouldn't think so.

Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.

Oh, and -

iGisN4tDvzuNj.gif

OH MY GOD THIS HAD ME TEARING HAHAHAHAHA *saved*

Hopefully this starts Cisse's run of beastliness.

iTFsZJC4853xJ.gif

WHAT. A. HEADER!!!! Even with the headers, my goodness this guy is nuts.

He's a good looking guy wooden

Oh shit I just realised Fady hasn't posted in a while, imagine his face when he reads through the after dark posts!

The after dark posts were freakin' HILARIOUS (and far too weird at times ahahahah!)

Maybe one of his massive quote posts will follow?

You are now a part of this long-rumored massive quote post. You are now immortal haha.

Just saw Fady tweet a few minutes ago, it's about to happen, I can feel it.

It is finally here :D Sorry it took forever!

You guys are scaring FADY away.

I must admit some of those after dark posts sure got out of hand hahahah!

ITS MY BIRTHDAY GAF!!!

26 years old :( man, time moves, but i'm feeling good

HAPPY BELATED BDAY my friend :) You're a year younger than me! I turn 27 in a few days!

FadyK85
@ConfusionBay ....all the comments I may have missed, mainly those directed at me, and I'll have a big response by tomorrow possibly :]

ibntwTLTT52iuA.gif

So what do you think Wooden? Big enough post or what?

30+ quotes post incoming.

I was thinking 30+ posts at least. Now I am thinking possibly 60-80 :0???

:lol Wooden you crack me up.

Haven't seen a Fady post in a while though, international break/afer dark football-GAF scared him away I believe.

It has been too long bro! I definitely felt the difference not interacting with u lovely folk and life wasn't the same without you all I must admit!


OH WOW. Wooden you are hilarious but your voice is pretty deep for a young guy haha.

I had this feeling that I was missing something but I just couldn't put my finger on it. It's been too long since the last mega-quote. It's good to have you back, Fady. Were have you been all this time?

I hope this makes up for my absence Bacon! BTW thank u for the avatar :) I am proudly using it haha! Thank u for the kind words man :) I have been working mainly and thinking about life quite a bit! I hope u have been well yourself?

Fuck, Fady, consistency, man. You need to post all the time.

AGREED. I surely need it!! I hope this megapost will set me straight!

I can't even imagine going through the posts just in OT4, let alone the thousands in the previous OTs. Heck, I usually give up going through the posts made when I was asleep. good luck Fady

It is a very tough task indeed, though as I said I skimmed through a lot of pages too as the whole process takes far too long! But you are right, the threads grow quickly here huh? Thanks bro :)!

God Speed Fady. Going through all the posts is a momentous task.

It sure is man! As I said I skimmed through most of it, and still it ended up taking so long! I did take my time whenever the thread took an interesting turn though, like the infamous after dark footy gaf era hahahahahah.

Can we get Fady to say the most horrible and mean things on tape?

HAHA. Me recording my voice can never be half as legendary as Wooden's or Kyle's! My accent will be easy to understand *I think*.

Why do you think we were desperate to get him here? We need two hours of Fady talking.

2 hours? Oh God :0 I think you guys would get bored after 30 seconds tops :p


BTW Kyle interesting accent I must admit! I hope this doesn't sound offensive to you - no offense meant at all - but is that the accent you use most commonly?

Fady returns with a 1 post hit and run. I couldn't imagine reading over the last couple threads.

It does take forever FootballFan >_> But if I stop with my hit and run posts it will take far less time!

Yawn Djokovic pretending to be injured as per usual. Trying to slow down Murrays momentum.

Djokovic surely does that a lot huh?? Almost every time he is losing he does that hahhah. I imagine he is mostly honest about it, but still funny :p

ANDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MUUURRRAAAAYYYYYEEAAAHHHH

So happy for the guy. And against Djokovic too. Excellent display. So happy he is finally proving he is not an almost-winner.

Time to finish Silent Hill 2

You must! One of the best games of all time! Did you finish it yet?

He's one of the few people with morals left in here, don't worry, I am sure this thread will make them fade away for him too... Only Fady will keep strong and love everyone.

I will stay strong and love everyone, even Manchester United one day.
probably when they are not dominating, possibly in the post-ferguson era?

The iPhone 5 looks surprisingly average.

I hope it has some wow factors otherwise I might look elsewhere next time my contract is up.

I agree, very surprising. Apple without Steve Jobs not doing that well yet. Wasn't impressed by their lawsuit against Samsung either.

Everybody needs to get down to wherever you do you're shopping and pick up some Cookie and Cream KitKat's.

Fucking top.

Must try this!! Big fan of Kit Kat!! I hope they sell it here!

FADY K?

NAHH NAHH

FADY YAY

Oh how I missed your company Wilbury <3!!

9pM0v.png


This is going to be excellent.

I hope this isn't too bad :D!!

This is what FootyGaf has become, a place for announcements of posts.

I blame Konami.

LOL! It wasn't meant to be like this :p I felt like Hazard during his twitter run before joining Chelsea :D

There needs to be a Fady countdown timer website, or an obscure teaser video.

But if there was a countdown then you would know exactly when to expect it ;D This way it will be more surprising :D

If Fady mega-posts at the same time as the Wii U presentation GAF will go down. Forever.

I intentionally avoided doing that in order to post at a good time for you guys!

Excellent. One post, no apologies, no breaks. The end of times is before us.

Agreed Rodvik. One go, here it is!

Send a script to Fady. :lol

Also "do the Bendtner for me" was the best lol.

That was legendary by Woodenlung! There is no way in hell I would be 10% as funny as that!

YAYYY!! My GF has got a new job. Been looking since she left uni over a year ago and it's come from the most unlikely source.

It's tough out there for jobs. Jeez.

Congrats again man, very good news :)

I hope all you lads are getting Dishonored. Its gonna be goty. Better than any of that Halo bollocks.

Glad some of you are taking notice of this game. Looks like one of the best things coming out this year, EASILY.

$299 and $349 for Wii U in the US.

Thoughts?

A bit pricey for a Nintendo console to be fair! I'm still buying one but I'm surprised at this price to be honest.

...... fuck

Wii U has just become more appealing for me.

Crazy move. I understand that Nintendo published it due to Sega canceling it. But I don't know, from PS3/360 only to WiiU only. I don't know. I'll live with it but I can't help but feel that this will not be good for Platinum.

Currently watching the new RE movie. (no other option)

Zombie on a bike and carrying a rocket launcher. That's a new one!

Is it any good bro? I thought the others were trashy fun.

Yeah. At first I wasn't that excited because Renaissance and Palladian Architecture is my least favorite of them all. However, seeing them in person is just bloody mind blowing. The amount of detail each building is given is quite something. I also had a look at the Maxxi Museum which had a lot of modern architectural design work and models.

I hear you guys like football kits, so...

You sure look like a nice guy Faridmon. Welcome back, glad u had a great trip :]

I'm waiting for Sony to show that they've learned nothing from the botched PS3 launch.

$499 US dollars for PS4.

That would be horrible. I would doubt it as they now lack a figure that was a major inspiration for most of the PS3-screw ups- Ken Kutaragi.

Can someone check on Awesome Animals? He has been off live for 17 days. Is he ok?

Check Fady also, find out if he is cheating on GAF

17 days? Anyone know if he is ok?? I remember reading on GAF once that people thought I was posting on some other football forum? Never, FootyGAF for life :)

He promised an epic 60+ quote reply by the days end!

I meant by Thursday's end :p I was a bit late I must admit, it is 1:50 AM here in Abu Dhabi, I hope this delivers for you guys!

I have had word from Fady...

Finally here dc ^_________________^

Spill the beans

This post is the beans my friend :D

It's coming.

It's here ^_^

Today I tried ZombieU.

Pure and utter shit.

Tell me you're joking Spanish Wrath >_> That is my most wanted WiiU game!! Can u share some more impressions? I thought this was supposed to be the next big horror game :/

Have you guys played Guild Wars 2, how is it?

I want to buy it but I've never played any MMO's before.

Reviews are calling it the best MMO in years, but as Kyoufu said:

Don't play MMOs. They will get you addicted and you'll grow beards you never thought were possible.

Any sightings of a Fady mega quote? No? :(

Here it is sir :) And it ends with your quote :]

Thank you for the replies Fady, I always value your opinion.

Glad you're happy to see the return of PR cat. I hope we see Mr Garcia play at the weekend for City. I'm pretty excited about the dynamic he can bring.
