Quote "Now let me tell you, it's almost unbearably obvious why MS got rid of this one. Merely looking at the game was a disappointment right off the bat. One of the folks from the development team was trying half-heartedly to explain the game's features, controlling an avatar in a five-man party and clearing some monsters in a keep. All I could do was stare at, what appeared to be, an unattractive and unappealing fantasy MMO world. The character animation seemed stiff and the models were very poor when playing from third person perspective. Most of the areas were practically swimming in gray tones, and well, it's kind of hard to explain. In my humble opinion, the game just doesn't look appealing in the least bit.
Gameplay wise, Vanguard seemed standard in every possible sense. The developer explained to me that there are no instanced dungeons in the game world and that's about it from what I could understand. The interface seemed highly reminiscent of any other MMOG and that's it. The content itself didn't seem fun to play."

LoL, I think the only bad review was formed only on a brief experience and first impressions. The "journalist" didn't really investigate anything. I think it was more of a review against the over saturation of Fantasy MMOs

Vanguard is a game coming out sometime in the future that I plan to buy and see if I like it or not.
Heh, do I get extra credit if I post it twice.
Vanguard is the next best option in a watered down MMO market.
Formerly known as Royal Arcanist

Vanguard is not getting good press at E3
