Flashpoint – Living World S3 – Episode 5 Story Review
May 2nd saw Flashpoint launch at the upper end of Anet’s new 2-3-month release cadence; one during which Guild Wars 2 was treated to Super Adventure Box festival and end of PvP Season 6; which has been a big set-back since the great 5th season. Read on for our thoughts of Flashpoint, the penultimate episode. Pro League Finals ImpressionsA week ago the first round of Pro League Finals took place. The teams participating were the top two European ones (Rank 55 Dragons and Vermillion) and the top two North American ones (The Abjured and Team PZ). Despite the technical difficulties that occurred during the event, following it on Twitch (alongside some friends on TS) was great fun! New Lion’s Arch Has Arrived!And boy, is it gorgeous. There’s been a lot of changes, and while I’d like to describe them all, a picture really is worth a thousand words. I’ve got a lot of pictures of Lion’s Arch both before and after the patch today, so let’s do a comparison to see what’s changed between before and after. Point of No ReturnWe made it folks. Finally we get to talk about the Season finale. I’ll try to be a bit broader in this one. We have an expansion ahead of us and with the Living World basically leading to that, I think it’s a good time to retrospectively take a look at this approach as a whole. Seeds of TruthAnother episode is done folks. This time around it was Seeds of Truth. I got to say that I was really impressed with this one. More specifically, I’ll talk about how well-oriented the narrative in this episode is, the role the characters have and what made its gameplay stand out in my mind. |
