“I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday.”
― Kris Kristofferson
Gunz the duel is a very very old mmorpg/arena/pvp game, it is also a game where I deemed as the pinnacle of gaming. Why? Well, some people say that once you find the first good video game/anime you love, any other game you played would just be bad, because you will be comparing with the first game you loved, which affects your judgement by a fair amount. Hence, gunz is that game for me, yes, this is bias, but it's how I felt.
This game is great and awesome, I have lots of time having fun there, I really enjoyed the playability and all the game modes that it has, I recommend it to anyone at any age n_n
What can I say about GunZ? this game is awesome, it features full action in TPS, better than all other shooters I've seen so far, where characters are so slow and just limited to walk, shoot and throw grenades, it requires a high skill level and speed of fingers that only be possible using a PC. It even has the option of using a sword, and become a specialist in swordsmanship, it also makes you feel like a ninja as characters challenge gravity and makes several cool moves. Graphics are nice and smooth, and there are lots and lots of clothes, items and weapons to buy, to get stronger and to personalize your character.
The game has lots of different modes of playing: Deathmatch, Gladiator, Team, Duel, Berserk, Quest, Survival, Team Deathmatch, Challenge, Get the Flag, Assasination, Team Deathmatch Extreme, Spy, Boss Batlle, Clan War, Dota mode, Team Gladiator, etc. so it delivers high amounts of fun and "stress retreat" anytime.
This game is a "must" for any shooter, MORPG, sword, adventure and action gamer.
My opinion on GunZ
This game was an absolute dream **** when it first came out. It was fairly fast paced,
ad a nice level of competitiveness, and had an even playing field for both newcomers and veterans.
Also the level up system was fantastic!
This game absolutely COULD be reborn again by a new publisher, if they would just fix the
one single flaw in the game... GET RID OF THE K-STYLE!!!
I cant believe no official game publisher has done this yet, but maybe it's just too late.
A "sort of" no K-Style mod has been made on private servers, but it is never used because
well... obviously a new player is not aware of mods and such, they just wanna have fun.
Which is impossible when you are facing veteran players who all know K-Style like the
back of thier hands.
If they got rid of all the glitch abuse, I think new players would flock in for multiple reasons:
1) The original, UN-modded version can be played optimally on almost any machine,
regardless of power. Even a net book could run it! I have many young gamer friends who
desperately need online games to play on their moms old laptop, but there is not really
alot of good choices out there for a dated machine. And not everybody can afford
a specialised gaming PC. Seriously this is a HUGE reason for people to play it.
Even brand new Windows 8 laptops struggle to play browser based/unity engine games.
2) At first glance, it is a very attractive game. Until a new player encounters a K-styler.
Then it is instantly abandoned. Without K-Style, it would make a much more even
playing field for all skill levels. People are intrigued by GunZ. I played it at the
Internet cafe back in 2008, and had people crowded around me in awe of it.
3)Many people know about this game, but do not wish to play as it is just too hard.
Making it easier will bring many old players and people who just tried the game back
for another try. Also, people stopped playing because of health reasons. The glitch
abuse is alot of twitching and drilling of the left hand, which after a while can cause
alot of pain. Basically the faster you can move your hand, they faster you will move in
the game. And people move at lightning speed in GunZ, so you can imagine how fast
their hands are moving.
4)So I gaurantee people are gonna say stuff like "GunZ is nothing without K-Style" or
"K-Style is what made it good" but that is so so wrong. GunZ is nothing WITH K-Style,
and K-style made it crap! It turned it from a fun game for all into a newbies nightmare.
If I had the resources and the knowledge, I would recreate GunZ into the game it should
have been. To the game it was back when I first started. An enjoyable, mildly chaotic
game that could be enjoyed by everyone.
5)The character customization options in this game is really very nice. and the item mall
can be filled with options which is something western gamers like! They don't like to be slowly
drip fed item mall choices in order from worst to best, they like all the options laid out
in front of them so they can choose how they want to look. Which is how GunZ was back
when Ijji published it. That was one great thing about GunZ that never changed. You could
make your character look completely different from all others.
Its been thrown out by Aeria ****? Because not enough people played!
And why? Because new players didn't like being insta-killed by some fat B*stard who
has done nothing but train K-Style for the last 2 years.
I can guarantee that if K-Style didnt exist, Aeria games would still be running it and
the online player base would be over 1000 at any given time.
I started playing GunZ back in 2007 I think. It was amazing! I was completely hooked!
Back when the glitches were rarely ever seen. It was a super fun game!
Now... I cant stand to even look at what it has become. Laggy private servers full of
ego tripping K-style freaks taunting every noob that is foolish enough to stumble
into their game. It's really sad to see such a great game go down the gurgler like this.
In my opinion, games such as S4 League don't even come close to what GunZ was
back in the day.
In conclusion,no new player can ever hope to be the best at this game. The current
best just keep getting better. It is the one true reason why the game
is how it is today. Some private servers still have a player base of around 280 players.
Imagine an official server, with the game refurbished to accommodate players of all
skill levels. I believe it will be a success. I have may other ideas of how the game
could be improved, but I lack the knowledge to action these ideas.
Watch gunz's clip on youtube and you will be amaze, not by it graphics since it's an old game (2003), but the play style, a fast pace game and even faster if you know how to animation canceling well. Once time, S4 had been compared with this game, and called the next generation for gunz, but s4 don't have the style that make the game despite having all the others, but you still should try both.
This game is OK for a third person shooter, its mainly based on a PVP platform where you can jump around, do back flips and climb up wall while shooting or slashing your enemy down, there are quest modes (****) and they do hold up well, there fun, interesting and hard when taking on bosses, The only problems with this game is the "LARGE" amounts of glitches and the way they are used within the game, but to be honest, if the glitches were not in the game it would be a complete waste of time playing!
this is an ok game but one my least fav third person shooter
gunz is an online game as you make you charater and lever him/her up the more of your level the better you get
i will say this this game has most fun maps played but it least one most awesome games on there
SummaryGunZ is an action game with a very unique feel accompanied with MAIET's imagination and technology. Developed under a basic concept of 'Realization of such stylish actions one would find in movies in online action game', this game is constantly gaining gamers' interests for its unique game play.
