Quoting: razing32Uhm , Liam , you really seem to be getting your knickers in a twist over the GTA comparison.
I think a lot of us are reminded of GTA2 or it looks similar to GTA2 for us , but that's where the comparison ends.
Not really, everyone and their dog is saying it's like GTA, it's really not :)

Quoting: scaineThe full loot on PvP is devastating. I lost everything in the game when I was trying to race through a red zone to get to another yellow/blue zone when I was ambushed during some gathering en route. You live and learn, I suppose, but losing all my loot set me back, literally, days, in terms of how much it cost me to make.

That's a game decision, and good on them for sticking to it, but I'm there for the gathering and PvE, so I'll play this right up to the point I lose everything again, then I'll be out of the game forever, I suspect.

It wouldn't be a problem if you had some routes that simply kept you out of red/black zones, but the way they've mapped the world out, some zones are simply inaccessible unless you risk the sprint across a hostile zone.
That might not be an issue with the world re-design now though. I think the layout is almost entirely different.

Quoting: GuppyBeen meaning to pick this up for some time but people generally warn against it because the community is generally not tolerant of new players.
Well, now that more people will have it, we could arrange some games of it ;)

Quoting: fcastilloI just got this game a couple of months ago but never played it because I couldn't change the monitor where it opened. It was annoying and ultimately unplayable. Hopefully this new edition will fix any remaining issues on linux.
You know there's plenty of ways to move a game from one to another right? KDE for example you can just drag a fullscreen game from one monitor to another.

My bad, the code was counting unapproved comments too, fixed.

Quoting: WorMzyDo you need to have any knowledge of Warhammer to understand/enjoy/appreciate this game, or could they cut and paste in some other franchise and have it work just as well?
Nah, you really don't need to know much about it to enjoy it. It's like any futuristic setting in reality.

Quoting: CSharpQuestion: Is the multiplayer cross-platform? Would I be able to play with friends who play this on Windows?
I address that right at the top of the article ;)
