Guild Wars 2: Upcoming Fantasy RPG | Latest Games

Posted by Deathmetalistic Jyx on 5:06 PM

Guild Wars 2 is an upcoming online RPG (role-playing game) still in development by ArenaNet. The game is set in the fantasy world called Tyria. There is a disbanded guild in this world who are dedicated to fight against Elder dragons, they are a Lovecraftian species that has only the control of Tyria since from the original Guild Wars. Tyria is a world that is persistent with a story that interacts in instanced environments. The game also features a story line that is responsive to player's actions and claims to be unique in terms of genre. The developers of Guild Wars 2 aims to be dynamic than it's original version by reducing the complexity of the Magic skill system and using the environment as a weapon. Aranet is developing a heavily modified version of the game engine and the game's awesome 3D graphics. By the use of the Havok physics system, Aranet enhances the graphics and animations of Guild Wars 2.

The developer is also focusing a lot with the game's concept art, this is something that will be integrated into the way of the story so that the players can easily relate about the story and plot settings of the game. There are a combination of five races and seven professions where the players can create a character. The five races include the charr and human that is introduced in Prophecies, norn and asura being introduced in Eye of the North lastly the Sylvari that is exclusive only for Guild Wars 2. The seven professions are the Elementalist, Warrior, Ranger, Necromancer, Guardian, Thief, and Engineer. The elementalist is a scholar that uses magic, based on the classical elements. These elements are earth, fire, water, and air and these elements affects and change the skill bar of the character. The earth skill of the elementalist is more on defense, fire is for effect damage, water for snares and healing, and air for single target damage. The Warrior is a soldier that can use either ranged and melee weapons. Ranged weapons can hit the opponents in direct damage while the melee
weapons can cover only a variety of roles. The warrior may also use stances, shouts, and battle standards in buffing allies themselves. On the other hand the Ranger is an adventurer that may use both ranged and melee weapons also but ranged weapons on ranger covers only variety of roles while the melee abilities can be used in quick movement defense. A Ranger can also use spirits and traps in defending an area. The ranger also has animal companions that can use different skills depending what kind is the pet exactly.


A Necromancer is a scholar that may use manipulation of death. It has a number of summonable minions, life stealing skills, and other support abilities also. The unique quality of a necromancer is a life force that builds up as deaths occur near on it, which changes necromancer's skill bar. Guardian is the second soldier that uses virtue to aid allies in combat. These virtue are subdivided into three categories: courage, justice, and resolve.
A guardian can also summon enchanted weapons, and create wards that can prevent the enemies from getting nearby. On the other hand the Thief is an adventurer which may use both and melee weapons also. The Thief is first class in using pistols, utilizes traps, shadow stepping, and a stealth assassin in terms of combat. Thief skills can also consume some of the character's ten initiative points rather than having cool downs and can use an item that is being robbed from a foe. Lastly the Engineer is an adventurer who uses variety of guns. Engineer can use either both pistols and rifles, as well as technological gadgets for*attacking the opponents. It can also equip backpack kits which allow engineer to use grenades, tools, mines and medicines. Guild Wars 2 is just like the original Guild Wars which uses skill based combat system, however unlike the original Guild Wars, skill slots have predefined roles in this second installment of the Guild Wars sequel. Guild Wars 2 is very unique from any other free game downloads out there because the game itself focuses on quality over quantity, giving the players into real RPG experience.

Diablo III: Welcome to the Sanctuary of Darkness | Latest Games

Posted by Deathmetalistic Jyx on 9:29 PM

Diablo III is an action dark fantasy role playing game developed by Blizzard. Diablo III is the third installment of the Diablo sequel. Diablo III features elements of slashing and dungeon quests. This game was first announced at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Paris, France last June 28, 2008. The dark fantasy world of Diablo series takes place in a world called sanctuary. This sanctuary was saved by handful unnamed heroes for twenty years before in Diablo II. Now it's up to the new generation heroes to face the forces of evil opponents that threatens the world of Sanctuary. There are a lot of opportunity the players can explore such as Tristam.

Diablo III have the similarity in style from it's previous version Diablo II. The game features destructible environments with an, in-game damage effect. DirecX 10 will not be required for this version of Diablo because the developers are aiming to make the game run on a wide range of systems. The developers used Custom 3D engine for Diablo III to present an overhead view to the players. In ways such as crawling up the side of a wall from the depths into the combat area utilized the 3D environment for the enemies as well.

Just like Diablo II, multiplayer games is possible by using Blizzard's Battle.net service. It's just one of the new many features here in Diablo III, that service is developed in Starcraft II also. You can play with other players and be able to drop in, and drop out from game sessions. The game also features enhanced game system, random encounter generator, random level generator in order to provide the players much greater experience when it is replayed. Both static and randomly generated levels will be included in the game also. In addition from these features, you can go along with the main storyline quests through class-specific quests. Blizzard decided to divert the gameplay rather than have it in-game cut scenes.

There are new armor pieces that will be available in the game also : arm-guards, arm leggings and shoulder plates. Unlike the previous versions, you can pick up the gold by just touching it rather than picking it up manually. The sidekicks are now cooler unlike Diablo II, but these sidekicks will only be available while your on single player mode. These new features are intended to speed up the gameplay. Skill Runes is another new feature where you can modify your items that are dropped by monsters and used across all classes. Although this is quite similar to Diablo II, they can be attached to skills even though they are just items. The result will be your each skill is changing completely. The skill runes also have the ability to make one specific spell in each class more powerful, giving the player options on how it affects a particular spell. I'm quite excited for this game and im sure it's going to be a lot more of hell while playing it. Watch out for it's official release.
