    Green Monster Games - Curt Schilling

    While they may not have a brand name that will be recognizable they will most definitely have the artist and writer name. Slapping Salvatore, Schilling and McFarlane on the cover is enough to warrant some attention from a passerby in your local Best Buy even if they don"t know what an MMO is.

    I"m a huge LOTR nerd... but I am really hoping they improve the gameplay. The game couldn"t hold my interest when I tried it in beta, and there was some odd about the character movements. Anyways, I, on top of being a LOTR nerd, love a good dungeon crawl. It"s the thing that I really enjoy...

    While I don"t think that all of the "haters" posts are detrimental in any way (we"re here to discuss things and argue, after all) I do think shitty posts like xmods have no place here. "OMG I won"t play VG "cuz it"s full of skill-less faggots." Ok... thanks, nobody gives a shit that you"re a...

    Kohl, you keep pushing the notion that there is no content in the game and that you need to search, and search for any kind of enjoyment. But yourself, and others who have been criticizing Vanguard don"t respond to something like Nairbog"s post here... That quote about sums up why I am playing...

    Used Fraps to take some shots showing the different quality settings and my FPS. The program is kind of weird as it usually lowered my FPS by quite a bit every time I took the screenshot. so I had to set it to take a shot every 1 second until I told it to stop. I purposely made it so there...

    We all know that apart from WoW most MMO"s get mediocre reviews at best because reviewers don"t have the time to invest to see the whole game, or even the better parts of the game at high level.

    It"s a custom UI. Drox UI to be specific.

    I"ve uploaded a couple of videos I took of Vanguard to my server. They are at the settings I play on, with FPS (which isn"t shown on screen) quite a bit lower than what it really is because of Fraps running. The vids aren"t of anything, really... but show the game in motion, at least. Really all...

    FRAPS + DivX... I"ve been playing around with some VG vids. You can make a 5 minute clip that"s decent size and quality if you have the encoder resize the width down to 480... then you can play it on dvd players too... hah

    Well, I am running an Athlon 4200+ X2, with 2 gigs of ram and a nVidia 7900 GTO and I get decent framerates and run the game at 1920x1080 because I am running on a TV. Bring down the reso to 1280x1024 on a normal monitor and the performance would be much better. I would say my rig is slightly...

    Sorry for the resolution, but I haven"t installed Photoshop on my Vista install yet. This first shot of my group killing some drake in Trengal Keep. Yes, I know the FPS is only 7 - I play on settings higher than I should because I like purty graphics and I don"t mind my highest FPS being...

    Yes, I know. There"s no original work anymore. I just figured it had to be said what with all the "omg VG looks just like EQ2" comments that were/are flying around.

    The only time I play with names on is when I am PvP"ing in WoW... I would prefer that names be disabled in PvP so people could hide, but that"s just wishful thinking and as long as joe-tauren on the other team can see my neon red name while I am hiding in the bushes I won"t turn names off...

    Read it again. He didn"t say he hasn"t seen any, he said that even a level 40 character has probably only seen 1/3 of it. From my experiences, there is a ton of content in all the level ranges (except 40+, which we all know they are working on). Not only that, but I find the content to be...

    Yeah, I really don"t see the big issue with the death penalty. It"s not like back in the day when you wiped at a late night raid and then had to stay up extra late to get your corpse because there was no way in hell you were getting it solo any time soon. If you"re running low on time, or it"s...

    I"ve play Dark Messiah, Oblivion, every new 360 release since the summer and some others on the PC and I still think Vanguard looks great. No, it doesn"t look as good as Gears of War, but those are highly restricted, linear levels with maybe,maybe15 characters on screen max.

    It"s not a loot penalty, it"s just there is a storyline that those two races follow and as far as I know (I may be wrong) you can"t loot any items before you finish the first questline.

    My thoughts on VG are this; I would rather play an MMO with tons of potential, and a team that I"ve seen bust their ass off to pull things together, than play a game that plateaued for me, in terms of fun factor, a year ago.
