45 Minutes of Direct Feed HD Gameplay and Commentary - Officially ArenaNet Approved  - Everything from GamesCom 2010

Fuck yeah - seeing all the content I've seen before in cam vids come to life in direct feed HD capture. Brother oh brother. Guild Wars 2 has just moved on the top spot on my list of most anticipated games. It looks so much better than anything the MMORPG genre has done to this date. Guild Wars 2 really might be the next big step for the genre. It's looking highly likely!
 
Best moment of the presentation? Feeding the cow! <3 <3 <3 Close second? The Shatterer shooting crystals into the raid from his wings. Nerdgasm!

Thank you. Just, thank you.

This game is looking better with each bit that comes out. The fact that it's subscription-less from the start only adds to my excitement.

GW2 is looking like a slice of pure gold dipped in batter and panko bread crumbs, deep fried in peanut oil, drizzled with melted chocolate, dusted with powdered sugar, and served with a tall glass of iced tea.

The earth elemental hand was pretty impressive actually <EDIT> - the dragon in the 3rd vid too, thought the environment would look better though.
 
The Char is pretty cool in the 3rd video visually / movement animations, i also love how it says bleeding next to your character its much more intuitive than having it in a corner of the screen etc.
 
Movement looks really floaty though, my concerns really are how they are going to be able to sustain the game without a constant income - yearly expansions?

The chain events like the supply train sound pretty damn awesome. AND SHE FUCKING JUMPED!!! I was always bummed about not being able to jump in Guild Wars.
 
I thinking launch week purchase for me, this is.

Day 1 buy as long as they don't sneak in a monthly fee :)

Oh god I can't wait for this game.

" Dynamic Events = Public Quests from Warhammer nothing much new here, but they are hyping it up like it's the best thing since sliced bread :PAt least they seem to be tackling the problem of why these failed so hard in Warhammer by introducing dynamic scaling to number of player. A smart man learns from mistakes of others.  Love the Char design and armor. And spell effects are phenomenal, so many other MMO's get them wrong and you end up with completely unimpressive shit. "

Oh my god. This game looks fucking sick! I have to find a way into the beta.

Guild Wars 1 was a game with a lot of good ideas that didn't capitalize on all it could have. 
 
Guild Wars 2 is Game of the Century.

Damn these videos. All I can think about since I saw them is Guild Wars 2.

Sweet, thanks for these. 

I'm going to watch this video later. 
 
But how the hell do they not even include subscription is beyond me. That's icing on the cake man.

I was really excited for this game before seeing these. People are going to hate me for this, but... this doesn't look all that great.

 For the people who have been wondering about how ArenaNet/NCSoft West could make money with this: 
@Seppli is probably right that there will be expansions later down the road, but at the early stages they will relay heavily on people buying the game and on the cash-shop (micro-payment w.e you want to call it), that they have setup. As to my knowledge there has been no news about what these shops will contain, but if you look at what GW1 has to offer then it will be purely cosmetic and nothing that will break the gameplay and give some an unfair advantage.     

I just spent my time watching the videos. 
 
Holy crap. I'm super hyped. It looks like ArenaNet is more or less delivering on all their promises. Though I wonder how much in-depth the persistent system is, or is it just sort of the same thing that happens over and over again for a particular area.

Fucking awesome
