  • I can't believe this game is still requiring a subscription

  • This review wasn't very well planned, was it?

  • Vanguard is the best MMORPG out there, if you like PVE content. there is no PVP (other than duels and arena areas), which is good cuz there is no retarded balancing neutering the possibilities of good PVE/raid content.

    This review was made by noobs. Also, the game runs much smoother now than it did at release. If the first MMORPG u ever played was WoW/EQ2, or anything that came out after those (other than VG of course), you will most likely ragequit VG because you suck at gaming.

  • Best. Review. Ever.

  • This has to be the worst review I've ever seen. I don't think this is the best game in the world, but the reviewer's logic is extremely flawed in almost everything he says!

  • Hey I say.. at least it isn't another *Insert Generic Chinese Grindfest game here*

  • The reviewer tells us how sick he is of fantasy MMO's and glosses over the combat innovations and excellent class design. He also ignores the pertinent differences that might not be so good, such as how party-oriented and challenging it is. The crafting is probably the best in the market, but the adventuring is also amazing for those that can handle the challenge and can solo during times when groups are hard to find. The bugs are nearly gone now, and today's machines can handle the graphics.

  • Omg spell effects so cheesy I stopped playing....

  • this game is da bomb

  • NOBS!? NOBS!?!?!?? YOU NEED TO DIIIIIEEEEEEEE! D:< IT'S NOOBS* YOU SOAB!!! D:<

  • this guy fucking annoys me!

  • damn. g4 doe such shitty reviews

  • This should have been called world of crafting and card battling!

  • Just play wow, it is so much better. and nothing will ever kill it. there is not a single flaw in wow. you can try to prove me wrong all you want but it will not change the facts.

  • @nightskysx All things come to an end. all things....starcraft galaxy...........

  • @nightskysx REALLY? REALLY? glitches, grind, unfair gameplay, trolls,ADHD kids,sh*t graphics that are outdated, Oh and dont forget the GRIND. Who in hells bells likes grind? "go kill 10 wolves" do it again, and again,and again. Now we have an expansion where you can do it some more.

  • @Dsafarie i agree wih you there man

  • This review is completely inaccurate. The complaints they have of Vanguard are "as of" 3 years ago. And most of them were wrong even then. Hardly anything they say here is true.

  • its a good as game

  • MOST MMO are shit games I'm looking forward to Mortals Online and Earth Online

  • reason why I say that we should f*** G4TV

  • i think vanguard was a really good game with lots of potential and lots of interesting new features, but as said in the video, SOE released it too soon :( and i think that SOE realised that, when i played the game for the first time there was atleast 20 servers, now there are like.....4 i think :( thats actually sad :(

  • is it true vanguard had no dungeons or raids in the traditional sense?

  • @TheMysteriousAtheist

    Actually no, They have dungeons, alot of them, but they're apart of the game world, and no Load screens or instances, And two raids have been added. Besides, nothing is traditional with Vangard

  • GUYS, I CANT EXPRESS THIS ENOUGH...

    The Dame Game is Fixed!

    (sheesh not like one it's created it's the final product...something called "development" takes place....

  • @XxZaranaxX Origin coined a phrase I love, "A game is only late until it ships, but it sucks forever". In other words, when a game is released early and sucks, people remember that about the game for a long time.

  • 15 yo's in denver wtf?

  • i have lost respect for SOE ever since they shut down the BEST mmo ever. The Matrix Online.

  • Awesome game, cant say enough good things about it with only 500 character limit to type lol

    Got a very bad rap at release, probably because it was released to early BUT has come a long way since then, BEST MMO I have ever played and continue to play!

    Try the 14 day free trial, you will love it.

  • your all a bunch of noobs, vangaurd is sweet! everytime i die and lose exp it just makes me want to watch myself and stay alive longer, its freaking sweet and if you have a computer to run it you should play it otherwise stick with wow

  • these people are assholes

    fuck you G4

  • it's the best mmo out same with lotro and aoc

  • This game sucks on epic proportions.

    I so fucking wish it wasn't riddled with bugs and its so slow and frustrating and bland and looks like garbage even if you're on a computer built by Nasa.

    There are so many reasons to play it but way too many reasons to NOT play it.

    This is probably the WORST MMOG out there today.

    1/5 stars. (for effort)

  • well your computer just cant run it is all sheesh

  • Lol you talk like it requires a powerful comp to run. You're on crack, kid. No matter what kinda comp you play on it's still a piece of shit of a game :)

    My comp specs far exceed those required by Vanguard.

  • well i guess not everybody likes it

  • I tried it and i liked it... but i couldnt keep up with the bugs. My leggings kept disappearing and all people told me to do is re-equip them...i shouldnt have to do that if the game has been out as long as it has and its not working correctly still...you see? Another time I picked up a quest and the game crashed. I logged back in to see there was no quest in my book and the NPC didnt offer it again. thats just stupid.

  • well there were some bugs for me but i lived threw them

  • One can only assume the reviewer is another brilliant guy who likes to play First Person Shooters over and over and over. Ooooo. What great "creativity" you have with games like that! Oooo look. I have a big gun. OOoo look. I have a tank. Oooo another big gun. Oooo look I just blew someone's face off!

    Sick ass garbage. RPGs will always be "boring" to individuals like this reviewer. Dumb ass.

  • ... you dont know what x play is? You dont know who adam sesler is? Get with the program foo'.

  • lol yeah I don't even know for sure if that's Adam's opinion, he's just the narrator. ;p

  • looked kinda good but exp loss at death penalty? im never playing this piece of shit

  • and if this game is so good whys there like 1 slighty active server left rofl what is pvp ... the game in general is toooo big to many places people spread to thin

  • i have played the game a time now and i agree and disagree. its boring crafting and that stuff. but it still beats WoW really munch!

  • vanguard has fixed a ton of bugs since the release and has done a damn good job, the game is pretty clean now and still a hardcore group of player splaying. but sartok(ffa pvp) needs more people, so come join the game if you havent yet, it is amazing. Warhammer gets boring, and WoW is for kids. get over that shit already.

  • haha i agree WoW is for kids. just re-activated my account last night. i last played during the Beta. I love the ideas they had for this game and cant wait to see how smooth it will actually run now.

  • I loled

  • That was pretty funny, but it's a great game

  • They only showed the bad things about Vanguard.

    I tried a lot of MMORPG and I always go back to Vanguard.

    It has amazing graphics, this game has some of the nicest scenery. (Only if you have a good comp)

    The gameplay is alright.

    Characters are stunning,

    Landscape is great,

    Diplomacy is alright,

    Crafting bores me though.

    haha

    But this is a game you have to play with friends alone you will have no fun!

  • dont ya just want to slap the bitch in the yellow?

  • I sure do.

  • @Visser0x don't you want to slap them both? The scripting and delivery is horrific.

  • @Ashitaka1110 Yeah.

  • WTF??? this is the most... i mean look at it dude! this game is ridiculously UGLY!! those who play this game are retards im sorry haha. i mean look at how the characters look like.they look like idiots!hahaha. omg i can't stop laughing when i first saw this game.. and to think some people actually like this game..wth?? hahahahahaha. UGLEEEEEEEEH!!! im sorry it really is! haha

  • whats the filesize of this game? is it good to run on a computer with 21gb?

  • Size is roughly 20gb.

  • Vanguard is THE BEST MMORPG I'VE EVER PLAYED and I've Played basically all of them.  Yes they have some bugs, but they WILL be fixed

    Tanthalen- 22 Druid Xeth

    Kateria- 18 Ranger - Xeth

  • wats the lvl cap?

    and is there a class that can use pets?

    or summon cool stuff?

  • Druids, Rangers, Necromancers and Psionicists can all have pets. Druids can summon an element, Rangers have their charm skill which charms a creature for 60 seconds and they get a perm pet when they reach level 10, necromancers have a summon that you can equip. You dig dead bodies for suitable weapons for your pet. And Psionicists have a charm skill like rangers, only it's a bit more

    effective.

  • How the fuck he dare say mmo are boring and other stuff he is a fucking heretic retard who should be hanged and cut open the mother fucker, and i play the game and love it only becaus ei dont have a fucking povo computer from ebay ... this review is false and trying to make people hate the game well fuck him and fuck her

  • He gave WoW a 5, same thing with WAR, and EQ2 and GW both 4s. Sound like he thinks all MMORPGS are boring? It was supposed to be humorous, not an insult on MMORPGs. By the way, learn to speak before you comment.

  • suck my balls you heathen and at least i am inglish you inbred knave

  • inglish? Is that even a word? What are you? 8?

  • i dont know but i was able to make sweet love with your momma in her bed bitch

  • HOORAY FOR 8 YEAR OLD ABUSE!

  • fucking dumb little kid. your balls probably how even droped yet so how could you fuck his mom? and why do people always say they fucked peoples moms most peoples moms are ugly as fuck and old lol.

  • lol if u clicked on me you bastard you would know im 19 lol so funny how people judge others based on no infomation. from you so far i see you deserve to burn in hell like a heretic though.

  • oh look, a christian, gods not real!

    and FYI you could easily be a ten year old PRETENDING to be 19, duh!

  • who the hell wants to do diplomacy in a video game..i played this game at release and hated..i checked it out again for the free trail this month and i still hate it..its full of bugs and crashes a lot

  • ..nub

  • Why say it's not a very good game? It was a 3 out of 5 at the end.

  • Ive played Vanguard since launch and Yes i thas its problems but guess what Im STILL playing it. like ALL new MMO's it takes time to get things going yes it came out too early but the crafting diplo is fun and the view is awesome. I have a lvl 49 warior 35 carpenter. I make wood weapons and boats. it is a fun gam9e 9and will onky get better with time. I think to be honest not till 2009 will it shine

  • You guys want MMO ? Wait for Warhammer : Age of Reckoning

  • age of conan is gonna come sooner than that ^^ and offers more.

  • AOC is coming next march and and Warhammer is already behind schedual it shodul have already been released as they already have thier gms on payrole either way they are talking feb. For the big release.

  • What?

    Early acces started yestarday at 17th may !

    The launch of AoC is in 2 days LOL DUDE WTF?!

    WAR is said to be released in OCTOBER this year.

  • They also AoC came out way too early and it will take a lot more but a few months to fix the bugs

  • The video basically says it all. The game was rushed cause sigil ran out of cash. However i would wait a year or so, i know they just added raid content, and perhaps it will be as the game was suppose to be. The biggest problem i had was the need for a group for almost everything on an almost barren servers. If this has changed I would like to know b/c this game has potential. Unfortunately thats it.

  • its changed...alot

  • that game suxs, like most sony farked up again :P

  • you mean fucked up dumbass

  • No i meant FARKED UP! What letter can you not read?

  • I wish they would re-review this game now...its lightyears better that when it was released. Trust me, I was there then and Im still here now. This shit is getting good.

  • Btw yes i have just insulted a couple people by replying its called being biost its what we are all doing, this is to make my point. a w00t a bit of hate is teh <3 So your all a bunch of cunts.

  • godfee go and f... yourself. Put your wow in your ass and try to have fun with it instead of a dildo (you have wrote that). Little asshole. WOW is the biggest shit I ever played. Boring boring and hard work but no fun.. MMORPGs have to make fun and not work. WOW is holy bullshit

  • Iam playing lotro and iam happy with it. WOW sucks so damed!!!!!!!! And Vanguard looks good but Iam very busy with playing lord of the rings online. But the most bad mmorpg is wow!! It sucks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUCKS. Played it for 3 Months and was bored ..!!!

  • omg. Thats the reason why iam not playing wow: such people like you^^. Have fun with your game but remember: Go to bed when your mother want you to go!

  • 9 million people and counting would probably disagree with you

  • lotro can and guild wars comes close

  • WoW is merely a DAOC clone with better programming. People have played these kind of games since -99, long before leet speak and ADHD kidz infesting the internet. Those were the days..

  • doac got really flippin boring after some time

  • @Pussvalp "ADHD kidz" like me keep the gaming market alive seriously thought ever wonder why gaming got so much bigger since "99" those were the days huh? ok u play all game from 99 imma play 2010 games on DX11 peace :)

  • @Pussvalp and DAoC is a EQ clone... it never ends

  • @Pussvalp And DAOC is an EQ1 clone..so what?

  • @Pussvalp It's not a clone. It takes inspiration from it, and annoying kids have always been around. (ie. bbs)

  • WoW is not without it's share of copying. It copied stuff from DOAC AND EQ1 for Christ's sake!

  • ehm.. dude WoW is a ripoff of everquest, and vanguard is made by the same producers as everquest. have you ever thougt that maybe WoW aint that badass. WoW sux vanguard rox

  • hmmm only played WoW for 2 years

    so yes a little

  • I've played wow, and personally cartoony graphics are for 5 year olds. The quests are super repeatative, and there is no depth to the game.

  • lol and hat did wow copy everquest ? considering everquest was way better than what wow is ...wow is just a hype that people play because there friends play it or neighbour ect its all just hype.

  • WoW is great because it's accesible, I will agree with that. I don't play WoW anymore because it did get boring, but that happens with all MMOs in time. I personally play Vanguard but I won't jump up and say WoW sucks, but in the same vein someone who plays only WoW doesn't have the experienced authority to rule on what does or does not suck, and fyi WoW is a coupling of what has worked in tons of OTHER MMOs, it's not original.

  • And as usual, G4 gives another shitty review because Vanguard didn't give enough commercial time for those 2 leeches to sink their teeth into. G4 is to video games what MTV is to music.

  • WOW became a reference when it reached 9 million playesubscribers. Obviously more people are familiar with WOW, especially MMO newbies, than any other game.

  • Well thats because WoW is newer than Eq...Eq deffienently had its time and now the people who made it are trying to get to the younger MMO group. I say give em a chance to get the kinks worked out of the system and stop complaining.

  • Even though WoW is a more popular MMO, that doesn't make it a better one. It still has polygon terrain and characters and one of the easiest, quickest leveling systems known to man. WoW is not a game that requires ANY skill up until Pvp or Arena. Otherwise, it's just a game of patience. There are level 70 10 year olds out there. Way to be an awesome challenging game.

  • Didn´t you sense the sarcarms? Every single god damn MMO with a Review we see a bunch of people doing this:

    1) Comparing to WoW

    2) Telling is better than WoW

    That really bugs me. Since when WoW become a reference?

  • First comment was towards you. Second was to the whole retarded lot of commenters who go ZOMGWOWPWNZALLN00BZLOLOLOLOL.

  • Wow fans of Vanguard telling people their game is superior than a more sucefull one.

    My god I did NOT saw this comming.

  • Oh, so you didn't "saw" this coming? Nice one dumbass.

  • The butthurt. I can feel it from here.

  • X-play, X-play, X-play... normally I do agree with you, I really do. This time however you are being babies. So what if the death penalty is painful. Do you remember how it was in the original EQ? Almost exactly the same. They are just used to death meaning almost nothing in candy ass MMOs like WoW.

  • This game looks terrible.

  • Looks terrible? VG has the best graphics for any MMO out on the market. I'm sorry if your machine can't handle it.

  • Vanguard = for advanced players who know how to work as a team, and are not afraid of being punished for making stupid mistakes.

    WOW = for beginners who don't really know much about role-playing games, and want a game that will let them win.

    Vanguard = very mature and helpful community

    WOW = good luck trying to get an answer

    Vanguard = its good to be the underdog...

  • this review sucks all g4 does is show bad stuff of games its new let it fucking get the bugs out

  • ya i heard it got better, well thats what happens when u have a good team, working hard to fix up what they didnt have the time for by release date. ima give it a try, i think G4 should make a second review for it, the improved review, kinda like they did for SWG

  • Tired of fantasy based MMOs? I guess games that are ALL about running around shooting other people are better.

    Running around the same little maps shooting the same people is definitely not boring either. Those two are ignorant idiots.

  • To be honest, VG wasn't that great at release, it has gotten much better

  • Yeah it was bad at release...i recently gave it another try and was blown away at the improvment.

  • Yeah, the 3rd game update blew me away, the game is actually playable now

  • best review Ive ever seen

  • I don't get this review...he rags on diplomacy and crafting but then those are the things that save the game...G4 really has gone downhill.

  • That was the worst review i have ever seen. You see, most reviews are done by people who have higher IQs than dog shit.

  • awsome game...just give it some time..ever mmorpg starts off bad with laggy crap and not alot of ppl that play..but dont wry this game will be a hit, let patches and everything fix this game.and dont listen to this fag with a gay voice and his gay haircut. WoW IS GAY its filled with kids

  • Thank you very much for this submission. I've been looking for video reviews of Vanguard for some time now.

  • Don't be so hard on the game, it's the last game this famous artist guy drew for.

  • ish718....has played WoW and is

    only used to losing durability from dying....experience<durability imho....

    and plus WoW end game is boring as FUCK

  • these guys are retarded, also their comp sucks, my laptop can run this game on high without lag, Plus theres soo manythings to do inthis game, crafting is its own, aventureing is like questing and such, and diplomacy is also different, so basically its a game that requires alot of time to play,

  • wow this is the 4th time I read /watched something that just smashed this game... not including forums and other sources O.o It's like they had a really good idea and then fucked up at the end... Hopefully with many patches they can fix it up and make it a game worth playing

  • True Classic EverQuest

    projecteq DOT org

  • this game looks so cool ,my old box gets over loked playing eq1 ,which is my favorite one ,maybe its time to upgrade my s**t and play this one ? your thoughts?

  • WoW copyied all mmo's and it is a psyhic game(I mean WoW)!!! Dont play WoW because it will destroy your brain!!!!!!

  • this game seems horrible lol

    You lose experience when u die OMG

    im never playing this crap

  • Heh, you're just spoiled

  • well, duh, that's the majority of many RPG's.

  • Umm no.

  • "you will have to work hard to make this game fun"

    actually means: "For this game,unlike WoW, requires skill and has realistic graphics thats why we pre-schoolers don't like it"

  • Have you even played it? By skill you mean fighing TONS of bugs, so many thing that are not working that the 1.0 version looks like a pre-alpha? Or the grind fest, no, The Grind Fest? Is that skill?

  • wow i bought this game yesterday and it is so friging cool! yes every now and hten mabey twice a day you get about 10 seconds of server leg but what do you expect when the worlds 20 gigs big and theres 2000 people playign on a server. An this game pawns wow all you wow players stop bitching everytime a game liek wow comes out your guys graphics are like 4 years outdated i can play it with a 32mb sabre card. what a joke quit wow play somethign new. but if you must old school play d2

  • boy, learn to spell right m8... And btw, the game is great beacause the graphics are good? Is that your point? Have you ever heard of the magical word "gameplay"?

  • Getting stuck playing with a bunch of kids who cant type, cant spell, have no idea how to act like normal people, is makin' me really pissed off.

  • Age of conan! check it out

  • I'd like to see a MMORPG for 18 yo's and up only.

  • why?

  • I agree... I get tired of stupid fuckin' kids.

  • Age of Conan my friend. Will definitely reduce the ammount with an M rating.

  • What a ripoff of WoW.

  • Uhhh....

    lol

  • Ill give this game 7/10.

  • 4/10 for me. I don't want to remember the beta...

  • The game has improved since this video but still has that card game and the charly brown rain clouds. Game Update 2 fixed most of the lag and FPS issues, though it still has some. Just keeping you all updated. I keep it on my station access pass since its no extra cost to me.

  • Damn people are whingers! Be grateful such technology even exists!

  • They need to make a simple game with good graphics, a big world, and lots of features.

  • Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is not a good game, its a great one !!!

    10/10 for Vanguard.

  • The hosts of that show are nothing but a couple of tools. They obviously have no idea what they're talking about which makes this whole review pointless. They leave out so many details about the game it's ridiculous.

    I don't even play this game, but I have, and it's honestly not bad at all if you can manage to run it.

  • how's this game?

  • Asheron's Call is legendary and this MMO is awesome. This dude has no clue what he's talking about.

  • they talked all that smack and gave it 3 out of 5? thats not BAD at all! These guys are lame, lol

  • i wonder if these guys have ever done a positive review about any game, dam they always talk bad about everthing lol

  • The two dorks at the beginning are pretty funny - esp. the terms "nubs." They obviously only cater to shoot 'em ups or other lame games - Vanguard does suck but online games rule!

  • they r gay its beta then that thoughs are the worst qualitys of it grrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • 1- does vanguard have free trial?

    2- what is better in pvp lord of the rings or vanguard?

    3- can we toggle the usage of pixel shader 2.0 and 3.0?

    4- which attack seed/ swing of weapon is faster? lord of the rings or vanguard?

    5- is there cut-scenes or scenematics while gameplay? any solo-instances like lord of the rings?

  • its a shittier version of W.O.W

  • I fail to this review seriously because you fail to forward even a slightly objective viewpoint. All I could gather from this is that neither presenters had a clue as to what they were reviewing, next time prehaps they should actualy look at the game they are meant to be reviewing?

  • That was a good review. What next a MMORPG about a card battling game?LOL

  • Heh he called them "nubs" instead of "noobs". I love when these puppet-head broadcasters have no idea what they are reading on the telepromter.

  • Did he say once you squash an everquest 2, or a Dark age of Camelot, an asheron's call rises to take its place?

  • 2) The game is buggy, this is very true. Answer= So what? Why do you play a Beta of a game unless you are eager to play it earlier? I wan't to play this game, I have to put up with bugs, but in fact, since people are now playing, more money is being thrown at code fixers... makes sense to me.

  • NOW FOR THE RUBBISH:

    Make fun of a dancing werewolf- Why? Does seeing someone emote a dance tha plays that race, really anger you that much?

    Make fun of playing a card game within an MMORPG?- Why? I've never done the diplomacy with my chars, I am happy for those who like to, and can. Complaining about that is like saying adding an MP3 player has fouled the game, just avoid the on button.

  • Make fun of having to work hard to enjoy the game? The value of each item in the game is relevant to how much work you spent getting it. If you are the only one willing to do that work, you get the respect no one else does. That was your reward.

  • I would have to rewatch the video to address all their attacks. How on earth can you attack 'yet another fantasy MMORPG that you want to squash' Everyone goes to see another Star Wars, no matter how bad it was fouled up, because people like more. Everyday I play I turn over some feature of the game that impresses me, an original one, and not liking the game because it's 'hard', just means to me that you want the same accomplishment and respect as the people who actually worked hard for it...

  • this looks like possibly the worst mmo i have ever seen. Did someone at sony sit down and think OMG i know how we can beat Blizzard, lets steal their UI and every other possible graphic including spell casting and auction house and hope that somebody accidentaly buys it thinkig its a WoW expansion?

    what a peice of shit

  • Wow actually stole it from everquest first. WoW's not as original as everyone thinks.

  • I was one of the ones who got in before open beta. I remember how eager i was from all the promises made by sigil. It was supposed to be something new and ground breaking. The original UI for the game was more complex yet simple looking, now it just looks like a knockoff of other games, mostly the one that rivals with eq2. I think we all know that game... I attempted to cover up the copycat UI design with a custom UI. Somewhere along the line sigil decided to scrap their original plans. :/
