Guild Wars 2

[Smithy]

whoooooooo among ye is playing this epic godsend of a game?

 

[Prince Adon]

I plan on getting it eventually. I have the first one.

 

[Brute]

I dunno. I loved the first but this one seems nothing like it.
Everything that made GW1 great to me, single-player capabilities, low level caps, team dynamics, full instances, etc. are all gone now.

 

[Smithy]

i didn't play gw1, but i did play wow, and this game has fixed literally everything i didn't like about wow and added a million things i never thought i wanted BUT NOW I DO AND I HAVE THEM

 

[Vanity Assassin]

I am thinking about it.

MMOs are like black holes for money that people willing walk into. It's kind of like being herded into a slaughterhouse. Only less fun.

 

[Prince Adon]

But hey it's free.

Neither GW1 nor 2 has subscription fees.

 

[CyberEvil]

Well...it's still an MMO and I don't like the gameplay style to begin with. I was generalizing. Sue me.

 

[Smithy]

gw2 doesn't play like a traditional mmo, the combat is more like ninja gaiden, tons of dodging, blocking, it's all about positioning, using the environment, stuff like that. i've played a bunch of mmo's and gw2 doesn't even feel like it belongs in the same genre, it's more like an action/adventure game with a ton of people wandering around who spontaneously team up to kill stuff when stuff that needs killing appears

 

[CyberEvil]

I don't like being forced to play with a bunch of people just to access all the content. If there is anything I can't solo then it's not my kind of game.

 

[Brute]

Well, GW1 can be completed entirely solo. You also level cap in 6 or 7 hours, so success is dictated by skill rather than boring level farming. Also, most good equipment is bought so you don't have to pray for random loot drops.

It's very interesting, in that I'm not sure why it's actually an MMO.

I'm trying to buy it, but its either sold out everywhere or they don't sell it to the Japanese. Sonsabitches.
